Installation

npm install cradova

Declaring program variable

cradova exports a global object which is convenient for quick programs. This is used in the examples in this README for brevity.

const { program } = require("cradova");
program.version("0.0.1");

For larger programs which may use cradova in multiple ways, including unit testing, it is better to create a local Command object to use.

TypeScript

If you use ts-node and stand-alone executable subcommands written as .ts files, you need to call your program through node to get the subcommands called correctly. e.g.

node -r ts-node/register pm.ts

Examples

A sample can be found in the examples directory.

Support

This version of cradova is fully supported on Long Term Support versions of node, and requires at least node v8 and above. (For older versions of node, we recomend you change the default lib in the cradova tsconfig and re-compile.)

The main forum for free and community support is the project Issues on GitHub. maintainer [e-mail]
