Code Forge CLI

Code Forge is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to simplify the execution of boilerplate scripts and command-line commands. With Code Forge, users can easily create and delete sets of commands for different programming languages, as well as define preset arguments to be passed with those commands.

Installation

To install Code Forge globally, run the following command:

npm install -g @lymei/code-forge

Configuration File

The configuration file for Code Forge, named code-forge.json, allows users to define languages, their associated commands, and preset arguments. Below is an example template for the configuration file:

{
	"languages": {
		"next": {
			"commands": {
				"create": "npx create-next-app@latest <dir>/<name> --ts --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir --import-alias \"@/*\""
			},
			"args": {
				"dir": "C:\\Users\\Username\\Documents\\Projects\\Next.js"
			}
		},
		"customLanguage": {
			"commands": {
				"run": "run customLanguage <dir>/<name> <value>",
				"create": "npx create-my-app@latest <dir>/<name><optionOne><optionTwo>"
			},
			"args": {
				"dir": "C:/my/custom/language/directory",
				"optionOne": " --option-one",
				"optionTwo": " --option-two"
			}
		}
	}
}

Usage

Running Commands

To run a language command from your configuration file, use the following command:

code-forge run <language> <command> [arguments...]

Code Forge have 3 default alias: code-forge, cforge and coge

Replace with the name of the programming language, with the specific command to execute, and [arguments...] with any additional arguments required by the command.

If you have already set up a preset argument, you do NOT need to provide it. If you do provide it, only the latest argument will be applied

If you want to view all available commands for a specific language, omit the parameter:

code-forge run <language>

You can do the same to see the template of a single command:

code-forge run <language> <command>

Configuration Management

To manage your custom configuration file, you can use the config command:

code-forge config [options]

Available options include:

| Command | description | | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | | -c, --create | Create your custom configuration file. | | -r, --remove | Remove your custom configuration file. | | -d, --dir | Show the directory of the custom configuration file. |

Example

Below is an example usage of Code Forge to create a new Next.js project using the predefined configuration:

code-forge run next create my-next-project

This command will execute the create command for Next.js, with the specified project name my-next-project, applying the preset arguments defined in the configuration file.

For more information and additional usage examples, please refer to the documentation or run code-forge --help.

Note: Make sure to replace placeholders such as <language>, <command>, <name>, <dir>, <optionsOne>, and <optionTwo> with actual values according to your project's needs.
