@checkup/cli

@checkup/cli

A CLI that provides health check information about your project.

Usage

Install checkup CLI globally:

Using yarn:

$ yarn global add @checkup/cli

Using npm:

$ npm install -g @checkup/cli

Using volta:

$ volta install @checkup/cli

Configuration

First use the config generator to create a config file in your project's directory:

$ checkup generate config

The checkup CLI is now available to run. Use the run command to run Checkup against your project directory:

$ checkup run .

Checkup is designed to be completely configurable via a configuration object.

You can also specify an explicit path to a configuration via the command line, which will override any configurations found in any .checkuprc.* files

$ checkup --config /some/path/to/my/config/.checkuprc

The configuration object has the following properties:

Plugins

Plugins are collections of Checkup tasks that are intended to be configured and run. Conceptually, they're very similar to eslint plugins, which themselves contain a collection of eslint rules to run.

Check out some existing plugins:

• checkup-plugin-javascript
• checkup-plugin-ember

Plugins can be authored by anyone, and configured to run for any codebase. Checkup comes with a plugin generator, making it easy to generate the scaffolding needed.

To generate a plugin, run:

$ checkup generate plugin checkup-plugin-foo

To configure plugins, use the plugins key in your configuration file, which contains a list of plugin names.

{
  "plugins": ["checkup-plugin-foo"]
}

Tasks

Tasks are the core primitive that Checkup uses to gather data for the Checkup report.

To generate a task, run the following in the plugin directory you want to add the task to:

$ checkup generate task example-task
