deno-cliffy VS dax

Also with Deno, it become very easy to write typed cli. .ts file can be run as script very easily with permission access defined on top of the script such as:

#!/usr/bin/env -S deno run --allow-net

Then one can just run ./test.ts if the script has +x permission.

Also project such as https://cliffy.io has made writing cli way more enjoyable than node.

It is a good idea to beware of the VC. So it is good idea to support project such as Hono (projects conform to modern web standard, and is runtime agnostic for JS).

import * as hoipoiCapsule from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts"; const commitMessageTemplate = `{{type}}({{scope}}): {{summary}} {{body}} BREAKING CHANGE: {{breakingChange}}`; hoipoiCapsule.useCase.fillInCommitMessage.run({ commitMessageTemplate, questionList: [ { /** * The answer applies to the {{type}} part of commitMessageTemplate. */ target: "type", /** * Pre-prepared questions. */ q: hoipoiCapsule.preset.fillInCommitMessage.conventionalcommits.qMap.type, /** * Thus, you can also create your own questions. */ // q: typeQ, /** * Modify the commit message. * Use this function when a message is unanswered, for example. */ fixCommitMessage: (p) => { if (p.answerMap["type"] === "???") { return p.commitMessage.replace(/\r?\n{2,}/, "\n").trim(); } return p.commitMessage; }, }, ], }); /** * Please check here. * https://github.com/c4spar/deno-cliffy */ const typeQ = () => hoipoiCapsule.userInterface.prompt.Select.prompt({ message: "Select type.", search: true, options: [ { name: "Build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)", value: "Build", }, { name: "CI: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (examples: CircleCi, SauceLabs)", value: "CI", }, { name: "Docs: Documentation only changes", value: "Docs" }, { name: "Feat: A new feature", value: "Feat" }, { name: "Fix: A bug fix", value: "Fix:" }, { name: "Perf: A code change that improves performance", value: "Perf" }, { name: "Refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature", value: "Refactor", }, { name: "Test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests", value: "Test", }, ], });

Just wanted to add that v0.0.6 has been released. I changed to a more refined CLI library using https://github.com/c4spar/deno-cliffy/ so that it can be more easily maintained. Still works just the same, but more refined and clean code since when it may have been previously looked at.

I do this all the time. I used to use npx in my hashbang line to run TS scripts with node, but I've started using Deno more because of the permissions. Another great package for shell scripting with Deno is Dax, which is like the Deno version of Bun shell: https://github.com/dsherret/dax

This looks cool. I've always used the npm package inquirer (which also works with Deno), but I'll have to compare cliffy to that and see how it stacks up.

Hono is awesome. It's fast, very well typed, runs on all JS runtimes, and has zero dependencies.

Great point! According to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/b433beb016470b87850f3c01..., Bun Shell took inspiration from zx[0], dax[1] and bnx[2]
