@cypress/questions-remain
Asks the user to provide the remaining options not specified via CLI
Motivation
Imagine user can supply some options via CLI arguments, but your application need more. For each remaining unspecified option, this module will call your Promise-returning function, filling the blanks and finally resolving with all options set.
Install
Requires Node version 6 or above.
npm install --save @cypress/questions-remain
Use
Two-step use. First give it a mapping of "property" (or "option") names to Promise-returning functions to call if the option is not set. Then call with options collected from CLI.
// askUsername and askEmail are your functions
const propertiesToQuestions = {
username: askUsername,
email: askEmail
}
const questionsRemain = require('@cypress/questions-remain')
const ask = questionsRemain(propertiesToQuestions)
// imagine parsing CLI options
const argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2))
ask(argv)
.then(options => {
// options.username and options.email
// should be there!
})
The above program can work right away without any prompts if the user calls
it with app --username john --email [email protected]
, or it will ask questions
if username
or email
is missing.
