@nexssp/command

@nexssp/command

15.01.2022 Upgrade - Now works also with import as module.

Easy repetable shell commands... just to save time.. for mulitpleOSes See examples below..

Note

This Nexss Programmer's plugin is the effect of the refactoring the Nexss Programmer @nexssp/cli which development has been started in 2018. Now this module can be also used as separate program without the Nexss Programmer.

You can do very easy backup of your commands and share as files are *.yml format.

Example

# adds command to the current folder config file
nexssp-command add npmup "npm version patch && git push && npm publish"

# adds to the global commands
nexssp-command add npmup "npm version patch && git push && npm publish" -g

# adds to the global commands for platform linux
nexssp-command add npmup "npm version patch && git push && npm publish" --plaform=linux -g

# it automatically recognizes platforms
nexssp-command npmup # runs command
nexssp-command npmup -g # runs global command

nexssp-command list # list commands
nexssp-command list # list global commands

nexssp-command delete npmup # delete command
nexssp-command delete npmup -g # delete global command

Install

npm i -g @nexssp/command

Now you can use nexssp-command.

Usage

Let say you wrote some big command and you do it everyday,.. just very often

echo 'myexample command which is long and repeatable' && ls && mkdir abc && cd abc && ls && echo 'this can be loooooong..'

Add Commands

# Below is the same as nexss programmer's `nexss cmd add nameOfCommand "echo ....`
nexssp-command add nameOfCommand "echo 'myexample command which is long and repeatable' && ls && mkdir abc && cd abc && ls && echo 'this can be loooooong..'"

Run Command

nexssp-command nameOfCommand
nexss cmd nameOfCommand # in the Nexss Programmer

List Commands

This is OS dependent. Please see advanced example below. You can specify different commands for different OSes. @nexssp/commands also recognize the different distros..

nexssp-command list # this will display list of available commands
nexss cmd list # in the Nexss Programmer

Delete commands

nexssp-command delete # this will display list of available commands
nexss cmd delete # in the Nexss Programmer

There is much more..

More advanced example

As you can see below you can specify different commands OS and even distro name and version dependent,

name: Advanced Example of @nexssp/commands
commands:
  win32:
    - name: init
      command: scoop install xpdf-tools
  linux:
    - name: init
      command-ALPINE3: apt-get -y install poppler-utils # specific distro (Alpine 3) more here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nexssp/os#distros-list
      command-ARCH: pacman -S --noconfirm xpdf # Like for every version of Arch
      command-UBUNTU: apt install xpdf # specific like below are always first, then global ones.
      command-UBUNTU18: apt install xpdfA
      command-UBUNTU20: apt install xpdfB
      command: apt-get -y install xpdf # this will be correct for distro with xpdf package. For eg. arch will be like above.
  darwin:
    - name: init
      command: brew install xpdf

Where commands are stored?

There are 2 kinds of commands. Global and local.

Global commands

Global commands are stored in your home directory. ~/.nexss/_nexss_global.yml on Linux and C:\Users\USER\.nexss\_nexss_global.yml.

Local commands

Local are stored in the current folder or the first parent folder which contains _nexss.yml file

You can specify custom global file by --global=myfilename
