git-js VS chalk

Now we know how to use the API, let's implement it to handle our use cases. To get the git commit date, we're going to use a package called simple-git. We'll add this as a dependency of our Docusaurus project:

I ended up switching to simple-git as nodegit ssh issues had me 2 days behind on trying to get out lesson 8. It provides a very simple interface to effectively accomplish everything I needed. It also allows me to use a personal token to do Git updates to GitHub which I liked a lot better.

simple-git is a JavaScript library which allows you to run git commands from within TypeScript / JavaScript code.

You know, cz-format-extension is very highly expandable. You can use API of Inquirer.js, git-repo-info, and git-js.

In either case of appending a comment to an existing list or committing the first one, the end result of the try catch block will be a new branch checked out with the name of the commentId that was just generated. Be sure to note the difference between checkoutBranch and checkoutLocalBranch in the Simple Git git checkout documentation.

Simple-git is a tool for running git commands in any Node.js application. It gives us access to make all kinds of permutations on top of your commits and branches. With that library, we can easily create a script responsible for releasing our latest changes and running it from the command line.

4. Chalk

Chalk: Provides an easy way to stylize terminal strings with various colors and text formatting in Node.js, aiding in creating visually appealing command-line outputs

Chalk is a popular choice for adding colors to CLI output while maintaining readability.

Librerías: Chalk winston, log4js

Today the most popular library and de facto standard is the chаlk. The chalk has rich functionality, is fast but not ideal. It lacks some useful features.

This is a new tutorial on how to create a command line interface application, and our application today is a Mortgage Calculator. I used in this program packages such as 1- inquirer for interactive questions and answers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/inquirer 2- Sqlite3 DBMS 3- Chalk for colorful output in the terminal: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk

One of the libraries I used most that went full-ESM is Chalk. They released v5 over a year-and-a-half ago (November 2021) with ESM-only support and haven't updated v4 - their last iteration that supported CommonJS - since. If you go into their GitHub Issues section, you'll see a number of issues raised about CommonJS support, most of which are just responded to with a link to a post they made about switching over. Fair enough. I guess if I had to constantly answer the same question over and over, I might do the same.

To colorize my logs, I used a chalk package and created a logger utility:

We will add some dependencies to help us deal with CLI behaviours (inquirer) and text coloring (chalk).
