What is listr-silent-renderer?
The listr-silent-renderer npm package is a utility renderer for the Listr task runner, which is designed to suppress the output of tasks. This is particularly useful in scenarios where you want to run tasks silently without cluttering the console with logs, unless an error occurs.
What are listr-silent-renderer's main functionalities?
Silent Task Execution
This feature allows tasks to be executed silently. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a Listr task list with the SilentRenderer, which will not output any logs unless an error occurs.
const Listr = require('listr');
const SilentRenderer = require('listr-silent-renderer');
const tasks = new Listr([
{
title: 'Silent task',
task: () => Promise.resolve('Task completed silently')
}
], { renderer: SilentRenderer });
tasks.run().catch(err => console.error(err));

listr-verbose-renderer
This package is another renderer for Listr that provides detailed output for each task. Unlike listr-silent-renderer, which suppresses all output, listr-verbose-renderer is useful for debugging or when detailed logs are needed.
listr-update-renderer
Similar to listr-silent-renderer in that it is a renderer for Listr, but it provides a more dynamic output, updating the status of tasks as they run. It contrasts with listr-silent-renderer by being more visually informative during task execution.
