It scans your project, extracts script commands, and lets you run them easily from the CLI. --- *A tantō a traditionally made Japanese knife that were worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. The tantō dates to the Heian period, when it was mainly used as a weapon but evolved in design over the years to become more ornate. Tantō were used in traditional martial arts (tantojutsu). The term has seen a resurgence in modern times, with the rise of martial arts in Japan and the West.* --- Features -------- [](#features) - Automatically detects scripts in `composer.json` and `package.json`. - Generates a `tanto.yml` configuration file with all detected commands. - Provides an interactive menu to list and run available commands. - Allows direct execution of a command by its name. --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Step 1: Install the Package via Composer [](#step-1-install-the-package-via-composer) To install Tanto, add it to your project using Composer: ``` composer require --dev ronindevelopers/tanto ``` Alternatively, you can install it globally: ``` composer global require ronindevelopers/tanto ``` ### Step 2: Set Up the CLI [](#step-2-set-up-the-cli) If installed locally, you can use the `bin/tanto` script: ``` ./vendor/bin/tanto ``` For global installations, the `tanto` command will be available directly: ``` tanto ``` --- Usage ----- [](#usage) ### 1. Initialize the Configuration [](#1-initialize-the-configuration) Run the `tanto:init` command to scan your project and create the `tanto.yml` file: ``` ./vendor/bin/tanto init ``` This will: - Look for `composer.json` and `package.json` files. - Extract all scripts and commands. - Save them in a `tanto.yml` file in your project root. Example `tanto.yml`: ``` commands: - name: test command: npm test source: package.json description: '' - name: build command: composer build source: composer.json description: '' ``` ### 2. List and Run Commands [](#2-list-and-run-commands) To list all available commands and run them interactively, use the `tanto:run` command: ``` ./vendor/bin/tanto run ``` This will display a numbered list of commands. Select one to execute it. Example: ``` Available Commands: [0] test (package.json) [1] build (composer.json) Select a command to run: ``` ### 3. Run a Command Directly [](#3-run-a-command-directly) You can run a command directly by passing its name as an argument to `tanto:run`: ``` ./vendor/bin/tanto run test ``` If the command name matches one in `tanto.yml`, it will execute immediately. ### 4. Update the Configuration [](#4-update-the-configuration) Run the update `tanto:update` command to refresh `tanto.yml` with the latest scripts: ``` ./vendor/bin/tanto update ``` This will scan `package.json` and `composer.json` for new commands. Existing commands' descriptions will be preserved. New commands will have a '' description by default, which you can manually edit later in `tanto.yml`. --- ### Contributing [](#contributing) We welcome contributions!
