ora VS listr

Ora: A dynamic loading spinner for Terminal.

ora

The builder uses ora library for logging out on console

I could put it in a fancy terminal window, kind of like ora does it - https://github.com/sindresorhus/ora

I was working on a project when I realized there wasn't any spinner library offering an experience close to Ora (js) so I made my own!

Asynchronous and time consuming operations are very common in CLIs. We don't want to leave the user thinking his computer has hung up. We'll use the ora package for loaders. Begin by installing ora -

I’m gonna make a console based application, asking user to make some choices, kicking off some async tasks, giving feedback etc. I’ve found inquirer and listr for handling part of this.

Major shoutout to listr + listr2 for being the motivation and visual inspiration for Tasuku, and for being my go-to task runner for a long time. I made Tasuku because I eventually found that they were too structured and declarative for my needs.

Remember the IF ELSEIF we had setup for arguments? Let's add a --help argument that lists out all the commands. Lists are a very important part of CLIs. I'm using a helpful package listr to handle these lists. Let's add the following code into our file in the place where we have our IF checks.

Basic things you should learn: - Dom manipulation - Http calls - Rxjs/promise - server side/ client side js - how frameworks use it - write script with listr (https://github.com/SamVerschueren/listr)
