Tools

js-fire: a library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from most js objects.

A javascript implementation of google/python-fire

const fire = require("js-fire");
const calculator = {
  __description__: "I am a math machine",
  double: (number) => {
    // I double things
    return 2 * number;
  },
  add: (n1 = Math.PI, n2) => {
    return n1 + n2;
  },
  misc: {
    year: () => "1999",
    brand: () => "casio",
    hello: (name) => `hello ${name}`,
  },
};
fire(calculator);

Table

A neat effect and perhaps a useful way to show info from CLI tools you might be building. You can configure how the table is rendered, padded, and aligned.
