Appc License Generator

This is to generate the license in CSV format.

Install

npm install -g appc-license

Uninstall

npm uninstall -g appc-license

Usage

Usage: appc-license [options]

Options:

  -h, --help           output usage information
  -V, --version        output the version number
  -i, --in <filename>  merge <filename> JSON in the final output
  -s, --setjson        sets output as JSON

Example Usage with an input JSON file and normal csv output

appc-license -i input.json > output.csv

Doing this will merge the output with the input file. How it works is it reads the JSON file and merges the JSON to the final output JSON. For any conflicts, the input file will have the final say.

Example Usage with an output of JSON

appc-license -s > output.json

This is the same as above except that the tag -s gives the output as JSON. This is useful to produce an initial JSON file that can be edited that can then be merged to replace certain default values. The output file can then be used as an input JSON file as above example usage.
