Contains runnable examples from Building a CLI to Improve Developer Productivity. Each part of the blog post is broken out into a "phase" which is listed in the article.
All of these examples assume you are running these commands from a directory that has a dotnet solution below it. For brevity, directories have been stripped out of the example commands. You will need to provide an absolute or relative path to the scripts in the following examples, i.e. source ~/medium-example-cli/dotnet-restore.sh && restoreDotnetSolution
Phase 1 (src)
dotnet-restore.sh offers a simple example of a bash script that restores a dotnet solution based on a variable. To run it on your own machine, edit the DOTNET_SOLUTION_FILE_PATH variable to be a path to one of your own dotnet projects.
Then, in a terminal run it with: source dotnet-restore.sh && restoreDotnetSolution
find-dotnet-solution-ex1.sh and find-dotnet-solution-ex2.sh both have solutions to more dynamically locate your dotnet project.
In a terminal, run source find-dotnet-solution-ex1.sh && findDotnetSolution
Phase 2 (src)
Run npm install from the phase2 directory to install the project dependencies. From there, main.js acts as the entrypoint for this iteration of the project. It imports and runs a buildDotnetSolution() function which will restore and build the dotnet project underneath your current directory. It includes some Jest tests for the 'dotnetRestore' module. Its structure is not optimal, but it gets the point across.
In a terminal, run ./main.js. You can run the tests with npm test.
Phase 3 (src)
Run npm install from the phase3 directory to install the project dependencies. It has options to clean, restore, and build your dotnet project separately. The modules are fully unit tested.
In a terminal, run ./cli.js dotnet to see all available options. Run ./cli.js dotnet --clean --build --restore to run all 3 modules, or any variation of these flags (such as ./cli.js dotnet --clean --restore, though not all combinations might make sense.) You can run the tests with npm test.
