npm install commander-tabtab#taptap-commander
Tab/Auto Completion for Commander.js CLIs.
##Example
Look at the code of the Example App @ /examples/exampleapp
If installed properly and you entered exampleapp and striked tab you would get…
# exampleapp
hello helllllooooooo world
Then if you were to enter exampleapp he and striked tab you would get…
# exampleapp hello
hello helllllooooooo
Or if you were to enter exampleapp w and striked tab you would get…
# exampleapp world
Simple!
##Installation
Sorry wording isn't brilliant. If you need a hand drop me a note. @bencevans on Twitter and GitHub. You can find my email on my GitHub profile.
####Codebase
1. Require taptap-commander. commanderTabTab = require('taptap-commander');
2. Just before program.parse(argv); enter commanderTabTab.init(program, 'NAME OF YOUR BIN/CLI FILE/APP');
####In Terminal
* Install your app using NPM npm install -g . (This adds your app to your shell's PATH)
If you would like to install completion everywhere rather than just in the current shell enter this line.
* Add completion helper to ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc) APPNAME completion >> ~/.bashrc
else if you just want to try out with it enabled in the current shell enter this line.
* Add completion to current shell source <(pkgname completion)
Done.
