{"library":"cli-util","type":"library","category":null,"description":"cli-util is an abandoned Node.js package providing a collection of utility functions designed for building command-line interface applications. It offers basic functionalities for logging, styled output (colors, headers, indentation), string padding, and column formatting. The package is built on top of very old versions of `colors` (0.6.2) and `commander` (2.0.0) for styling and argument parsing, respectively. Its last update was in 2014, making it unsuitable for modern projects due to outdated dependencies, lack of maintenance, and CommonJS-only module format. There is no active development or defined release cadence, and the current stable version is 1.1.27.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"1.1.27","tags":["javascript","cli","string","util"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install cli-util","imports":["const cli = require('cli-util');\ncli.log('message');","const cli = require('cli-util');\ncli.log('Hello'.green); // Uses String.prototype modification from the internal 'colors' dependency","const cli = require('cli-util');\ncli.header('My CLI Tool', { indent: 2 });"]},{"cmd":"yarn add cli-util","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add cli-util","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/freeformsystems/cli-util","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/cli-util","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/cli-util/compatibility"}}
