Mc2-runner

This package helps to quickly configure the behavior of cli command. For simple usage where you do not have watch & run logic, you can use this package.

Usage

If you already have a config file

npx @m-c2/runner

If you do not have a default config file, you can create it by running

npx @m-c2/runner --init

This will create the default template for you to edit, named mc2-runner.config.js

Config file

// mc2-runner.config.js

// Available colors
// red,       green,       yellow,       blue,       magenta,       cyan,
// brightRed, brightGreen, brightYellow, brightBlue, brightMagenta, brightCyan,
// black    , white      , gray
// or custom color if supported by your terminal : #XXXXXX as hex color

module.exports = [
  {
    // Name to display for this process (Ex: Typescript Compiler)
    name: '',
    // Command to run (Ex: yarn tsc)
    command: '',

    // If present, the process will restart when a file matching the pattern changes
    watch: {
      pattern: '', // Ex : Watching path like src/**/*.ts
    },

    // If true, the process will start automatically when the runner is started
    // If false, but a watch is configured, the process will start when a file change
    autoStart: false,

    // Color of the process in the console
    color: 'blue',
    // Color of the process in the console when a file change
    fileChangeColor: 'green',
    // When watch is active, define if the process restart or not on file change
    restartOnWatchChange: true,
    // When watch is active, Execute the method
    // This method can be async or not
    // can return void or an array of string representing a name of one of the process to start / restart
    triggerMethod: null,
  }
];

For exemple, if you have a small command to run when a file change, or a server to restart, you can use this package to do it. you can do it this way

// mc2-runner.config.js
module.exports = [
  {
    name    : 'TypeScript Compiler',
    command : 'yarn tsc',
    watch : {
      pattern: 'src/**/*.ts', // Watch all TypeScript files in the src directory and its subdirectories
    },
    color                : 'blue',
    fileChangeColor      : 'green',
    restartOnWatchChange : true,
    triggerMethod        : null,      // No trigger method specified for this process
  },
  {
    name    : 'Node App',
    command : 'node dist/App-Runner.js',
    watch : {
      pattern: 'out/App.js', // Watch the app.js file in the dist/js directory
    },
    restartOnWatchChange: true,
    // Function can be async or not
    triggerMethod: () => {
      // Copy new files to target directory
      // ... logic here
    },
  },
];
