cli-confirm

Rework of https://github.com/jmtoball/cli-confirm

Basically a script that you can call from the cli itself, or within other NPM scripts to confirm an action. Comes handy when you want to add manual confirmation before doing something dangerous.

Getting started

yarn add -D @unly/cli-confirm

Usage

Example of package.json

[…]
  "scripts" {
    "self-destruct-servers": "cli-confirm \"Do you really want to blow up the servers?\" && yarn destroy:servers",
    "destroy:servers": "echo 'servers decommissioned permanently'"
  }
[…]

Which would produce the following output:

$ yarn self-destruct-server
Do you really want to blow up the servers? n

$ yarn self-destruct-server
Do you really want to blow up the servers? y
servers decommissioned permanently

$ yarn self-destruct-server
Do you really want to blow up the servers? yes
servers decommissioned permanently

Why a fork?

The script itself hasn't changed much (additionally allows yes as well as y input), license was updated from ISC to MIT. As it is a bad practice to rely on software that isn't maintained, nor should be updated, we made our own cli-confirm. It's basically safer as we don't know who could update the original https://github.com/jmtoball/cli-confirm with additional code.
