What is is-ci?
The is-ci npm package is designed to detect if your code is running in a Continuous Integration (CI) environment. It provides a simple interface to check whether the current execution context is within a CI service by checking environment variables that are typically set by CI services.
What are is-ci's main functionalities?
Detect CI environment
This feature allows you to detect if your application or script is running in a CI environment. The package exports a boolean value that is true if it detects a CI environment based on environment variables. This is useful for altering behavior, such as skipping interactive prompts or enabling more verbose logging, when running in CI.
"use strict";\nconst isCI = require('is-ci');\n\nif (isCI) {\n console.log('Running in a CI environment');\n} else {\n console.log('Not running in a CI environment');\n}
Other packages similar to is-ci
ci-info
Similar to is-ci, ci-info provides information about the CI environment the code is running in. It offers more detailed information compared to is-ci, such as the name of the CI service and whether the environment is a pull request. This makes ci-info a more versatile choice if you need more than just a boolean check.
is-ci-cli
is-ci-cli extends the basic functionality of is-ci by providing a command-line interface (CLI). This allows users to check for a CI environment directly from the command line without writing any JavaScript code. While is-ci is primarily used within scripts, is-ci-cli can be used directly in shell scripts or CI configuration files.
