**cli is a toolkit for rapidly building command line apps - it includes:**

- Full featured opts/args parser
- Plugin support for adding common options and switches
- Helper methods for working with input/output and spawning child processes
- Output colored/styled messages, [progress bars](https://github.com/chriso/cli/blob/master/examples/progress.js) or [spinners](https://github.com/chriso/cli/blob/master/examples/spinner.js)
- Command [auto-completion](https://github.com/chriso/cli/blob/master/examples/command.js) and [glob support](https://github.com/chriso/cli/blob/master/examples/glob.js)

Install using `npm install cli` or just bundle [cli.js](https://github.com/chriso/cli/raw/master/cli.js) with your app.

## Example apps

### sort.js

```javascript
#!/usr/bin/env node
require('cli').withStdinLines(function(lines, newline) {
    this.output(lines.sort().join(newline));
});
```

Try it out

```bash
$ ./sort.js < input.txt
```

Let's add support for an `-n` switch to use a numeric sort, and a `-r` switch to reverse output - only 5 extra lines of code (!)

```javascript
var cli = require('cli'), options = cli.parse();

cli.withStdinLines(function(lines, newline) {
    lines.sort(!options.n ? null : function(a, b) {
        return parseInt(a) > parseInt(b);
    });
    if (options.r) lines.reverse();
    this.output(lines.join(newline));
});
```

### static.js

Let's create a static file server with daemon support to see the opts parser + plugins in use - note: this requires `npm install creationix daemon`

```javascript
var cli = require('cli').enable('daemon', 'status'); //Enable 2 plugins

cli.parse({
    log:   ['l', 'Enable logging'],
    port:  ['p', 'Listen on this port', 'number', 8080],
    serve: [false, 'Serve static files from PATH', 'path', './public']
});

cli.main(function(args, options) {
    var server, middleware = [];

    if (options.log) {
        this.debug('Enabling logging');
        middleware.push(require('creationix/log')());
    }

    this.debug('Serving files from ' + options.serve);
    middleware.push(require('creationix/static')('/', options.serve, 'index.html'));

    server = this.createServer(middleware).listen(options.port);

    this.ok('Listening on port ' + options.port);
});
```

To output usage information

```bash
$ ./static.js --help
```

To create a daemon that serves files from */tmp*, run

```bash
$ ./static.js -ld --serve=/tmp
```

For more examples, see [./examples](https://github.com/chriso/cli/tree/master/examples)

## Helper methods

cli has methods that collect stdin (newline is autodetected as \n or \r\n)

```javascript
cli.withStdin(callback);        //callback receives stdin as a string
cli.withStdinLines(callback);   //callback receives stdin split into an array of lines (lines, newline)
```

cli also has a lower level method for working with input line by line (see [./examples/cat.js](https://github.com/chriso/cli/blob/master/examples/cat.js) for an example). 

```javascript
cli.withInput(file, function (line, newline, eof) {
    if (!eof) {
        this.output(line + newline);
    }
});
```

*Note: `file` can be omitted if you want to work with stdin*

To output a progress bar, call

```javascript
cli.progress(progress); //Where 0 <= progress <= 1
```

To spawn a child process, use

```javascript
cli.exec(cmd, callback); //callback receives the output of the process (split into lines)
```

cli also comes bundled with kof's [node-natives](https://github.com/kof/node-natives) (access with cli.native) and creationix' [stack](https://github.com/creationix/stack) (access with cli.createServer)

## Plugins

Plugins are a way of adding common opts and can be enabled using 

```javascript
cli.enable(plugin1, [plugin2, ...]);  //To disable, use the equivalent disable() method
```

**help** - *enabled by default*

Adds `-h,--help` to output auto-generated usage information

**version**

Adds `-v,--version` to output version information for the app. cli will attempt to locate and parse a nearby *package.json*

To set your own app name and version, use `cli.setApp(app_name, version)`

**status**

Adds options to show/hide the stylized status messages that are output to the console when using one of these methods

```javascript
cli.debug(msg);  //Only shown when using --debug
cli.error(msg);
cli.fatal(msg);  //Exits the process after outputting msg
cli.info(msg);
cli.ok(msg);
```

`-k,--no-color` will omit ANSI color escapes from the output

**glob**  - *requires* `npm install glob`

Enables glob matching of arguments

**daemon**  - *requires* `npm install daemon`

Adds `-d,--daemon ARG` for daemonizing the process and controlling the resulting daemon

`ARG` can be either start (default), stop, restart, pid (outputs the daemon's pid if it's running), or log (output the daemon's stdout+stderr)

**timeout**

Adds `-t,--timeout N` to exit the process after N seconds with an error

**catchall**

Adds `-c,--catch` to catch and output uncaughtExceptions and resume execution

*Note: Plugins are automatically disabled if an option or switch of the same name is already defined*
