CLI Template

A minimal CLI template using Stricli and Dax.

Quick Start

nix develop  # optional: provides Node.js, TypeScript, biome
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.mjs --help

Alternatively, use Nix directly:

nix run . -- --help    # runs the CLI directly
nix shell . --command name-placeholder --help  # provides CLI in PATH

Uses TypeScript and Biome for checks:

npm run check

To rename the CLI, edit the name field in package.json. Both the Nix package and the CLI will update automatically.

# Edit package.json, then rebuild:
nix build .

In case Nix complains about the hash, run this to get the correct one and replace in flake.nix:

nix run nixpkgs#prefetch-npm-deps -- package-lock.json
