my_wins

my_wins

Automates starting your console windows for tsc, babel, tests, verdaccio, etc...

my_wins opens cmd promts for you, position them nicely and types-in your commands into them.

Why?

Why this is better than just running cmd/bat files?

Because you can

• [Ctrl+C] - to stop your command

• [UP] -> [Enter] - to restart your command

• But still you don't need to type in the command for the very first time

• And you don't have to open those consoles manually

• And you don't have to position them ether

Installation

npm i my_wins

or

npm i my_wins -g

Usage

Create "my_wins.json" in your project with contents:

{
	"wins": {
		"cmd1": "echo cm1",
		"cmd2": "echo cmd2"
	}
}

and run

npm run my_wins

This will

• Open command line windows for each command
• Set titles of this windows
• Position windows on your screen
• Execute commands in them

Now if you need to restart or pause/resume any of your cmd just do

• [Ctrl+C] - to stop

• [UP] -> [Enter] - to restart

my_wins was tested only on Windows 10 and may have issues on other OSes*

All options

You can also create "my_wins_personal.json" which can partially or fully overrides my_wins.

It's recommended to gitignore "my_wins_personal.json".

    {
        startTimeout: 700,
        x: 0,           
        y: 0,         
        height: 120,    
        width: 500,     
        wins:{          
            foo:"my command line 1",
            baz:{no_run:true, cmd:"my command line 2"}
        }
    }

x,y,height,width - is first cmd window's position and size

y gets incremented by height for each next window

wins - your windows

• if you enter a string it resolves to {cmd:"string"}
• cmd - your command
• no_run - types in the command, but won't hit "Enter".
