np-cli

No-problem CLI library written in ES6.

Introduction

This is yet another CLI utility library for Node but with the added twist of being written in ECMAScript 6 syntax to the extent supported by traceur from @google.

Installing

If you just want to use the library you do not have to install the traceur compiler. The published module is pre-compiled to ECMAScript 5 compatible code.

Simply install using npm in the root of your project folder, like any other module:

$ npm i np-cli --save

Tinkering

If you want to poke around in the code and see what happens, you currently need to manually recompile in order to test your changes. A rudimentary build-script is included in the source repository.
