bREPL

bREPL is Node.js repl that has few libraries and utility functions added to context.

Installing

Using npm:

$ npm install -g brepl

Using yarn:

$ yarn global add brepl

Usage

Run

brepl

in terminal

How it works

Uses built in Node.js Repl mode, but extends context with following libraries

• Axios
• Moment
• Lodash
• fs-extra

All other default Node.js modules are auto loaded and available in the context.

Injected context

{
  __,        // Lodash
  lo,        // Lodash
  axios,     // Axios
  moment,    // Moment
  fse,       // fs-extra
  saveFile,  // fse.writeFileSync
  loadJson,  // fse.readJsonSync
  loadFile,  // fse.readFileSync
  sf,        // saveFile
  lj,        // loadJson
  lf,        // loadFile
}

Lodash and _

The result of the most recently evaluated expression will be assigned to to the special variable _ (underscore).

bREPL > [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
[ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
bREPL > _.length
3

So Lodash is available in context through 2 variables: lo and __ (double underscore)
