This repo houses materials and examples from my OpenJS World 2020 talk, The Benefits of a "CLI First" Strategy on June 24th, 2020 (12:10-12:40 CDT).
The audio cut in/out during the live stream of this presentation. If the OpenJS World 2020 recording doesn't work for you, the original HD recording can be found at https://youtu.be/4J2AHecINM0.
This strategy is one I've been iterating on for quite awhile now, with pretty big plans for making the process better. If you are interested in updates, seeing future videos, and/or the evolution of this strategy, follow this repo and follow me on Twitter (@goldglovecb) where I'll make announcements.
The Powerpoint Presentation is available in this repo. See the examples directory for code snippets. The examples may require some adjustments to work, since I did not have time to test them after completing each phase of the presentation.
The tools used in the making of this were:
- The author/shell framework for creating CLI tools.
- The Chrome Devtools CLI Extension
- The @butlerlogic/common-api library. High level overview available in this Quora article
- Fenix Web Server 3.0.0, a desktop web server for serving the frontend.
I use Fenix to host static content and the common-api lib to rapidly prototype API's. These two tools make it easy to experiment with CLI's within a pseudo "full stack" system.
These are the efforts/ventures that keep me working on this stuff:
