node-respond

node-respond is an auto-responding Async CLI/CMD wrapper for NodeJS with a syntax based on node-suppose by jprichardson (https://github.com/jprichardson/node-suppose).

Why?

After searching around for a super simple way to format a HDD in NodeJS I settled on using nodes child_proccess, but found responding to questions from the CLI an absolute nightmare of spaghetti, and so this was born!

Installation

npm install respond

It's really that easy!

Usage

var respond = require('respond');

respond('npm', ['init'])
.on(/name\: \([\w|\-]+\)[\s]*/, 'awesome_package')
.on('version: (0.0.0) ', '0.0.1')
.on('description: ',"It's an awesome package man!")
.on('entry point: (index.js) ',"")
.on('test command: ','npm test')
.on('git repository: ', "")
.on('keywords: ', 'awesome, cool')
.on('author: ', 'Shane Gadsby')
.on('license: (BSD) ', 'MIT')
.on('ok? (yes) ', 'yes')
.error(function(err){
    console.log(err.message);
})
.end(function(code){
    var packageFile = '/tmp/awesome/package.json';
    fs.readFile(packageFile, function(err, data){
        var packageObj = JSON.parse(data.toString());
        console.log(packageObj.name); //'awesome_package'
    })
})
