bookmarklets-cli

CLI for bookmarklets development

Installation

# you can use this cli without installing locally
npx bookmarklets-cli [...]

# if needed
npm install --save bookmarklets-cli
# or
yarn add bookmarklets-cli

Usage

Build

# transpile `script.ts` into `dist` dir
npx bookmarklets-cli script.ts

# glob support
npx bookmarklets-cli 'src/*.ts'

# specify dist dir
npx bookmarklets-cli --dist-dir 'out'

Dev mode

In dev mode, every time the input script is saved, the CLI transpiles the input script and copies it to the clipboard.

Note that the leading j is removed (e.g., avascript:(()=>{}) instead of javascript:(()=>{})). Many browsers automatically remove the javascript: part from URLs pasted into the address bar to enhance security, so the leading j is removed to avoid this issue. When testing the copied output from dev mode in a browser, first type j in the address bar, then paste the copied output, and press Enter to execute it.

# watch `script.ts`
npx bookmarklets-cli --watch script.ts

# glob support
npx bookmarklets-cli --watch 'src/*.ts'
