@flxify/cli

A terminal-based text utility with 115 transformation scripts, Vim keybindings, and a command palette — the same power as flxify.dev, right in your terminal.

npm install -g @flxify/cli

Usage

flxify                         # Launch with empty editor

• Command palette (Ctrl+B) with fuzzy search across all scripts
• CLI subcommands — flxify cron "*/5 * * * *" and flxify regex "^[a-z]+" for quick non-interactive explanations

• Word wrap — :set wrap / :set nowrap to toggle soft wrap for long lines
• System clipboard — yanking (yy, visual y) copies to clipboard automatically

Subcommand Examples

flxify cron "*/5 * * * *"    # Every 5 minutes + next 5 run times
flxify cron "@daily"          # Daily schedule + next 5 run times
flxify cron 0 9 "* * 1-5"    # Multi-word expressions work too
flxify regex "^[a-z]+\d{2,4}$"  # Token-by-token regex breakdown
flxify regex "/test/gi"           # Extracts flags automatically

How Scripts Work

Open the command palette (Ctrl+B), search for a script, and press Enter. The script transforms your editor content (or just the visual selection if one is active).

Scripts use the same API as the web app and VS Code extension:

function main(state) {
  state.text = state.text.toUpperCase();
}

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• A terminal with truecolor support (most modern terminals)
