FlightCheck

A simple Command line checklist

Flightcheck is a CLI tool for creating a checklist that must be completed before another command is run. This is useful for sanity checking certain actions such as publishing to npm, pushing to the master/production branch and more

Installation

Install globally with:

npm install -g flightcheck

or in a project with

npm install -D flightcheck

Use

Flightcheck will run through any file line by line as a checklist requiring confirmation before proceeding. Prefix any command with flightcheck && and if the checklist is not complete the next command will not run

By default flightcheck will look for a .fcheck file to use as a checklist but a path can be passed in as an argument:

For example:

    flightcheck prePublishChecklist.txt && npm publish

Example:

Before publishing to npm you must update your version number and update documentation. This can be done by creating a file called .fcheck at the root of your npm package containing these items:

.fcheck

Update version number
Update documentation

Then create a script in your package.json

"scripts": {
    "pub": "flightcheck && npm publish",
  },

When the command npm run pub is run the command line will prommpt the user to check off each item on the list by entering y or Y If the publisher does not complete the checklist the next command: npm publish will not run

Flightcheck is a CLI tool built with rust and distributed using npm. To develop flightcheck rust must be installed.
