CLI Command Developer

Expert assistant for creating and extending commands in the rn-toolbox CLI.

Project Context

This is a zero-dependencies CLI tool (rn-toolbox) that automates React Native asset generation using TypeScript and the sharp image processing library.

Command Development Workflow

Before Creating a New Command

1. Understand the pattern - Review existing commands in src/commands/ (icons.ts, splash.ts, dotenv.ts)
2. Identify dependencies - Determine what utilities from src/utils/ are needed
3. Plan the interface - Define args, flags, and expected output

Command Structure Requirements

Every command must follow this pattern:

// src/commands/{name}.ts
import type { CommandConfig, ParsedArgs } from './base.js'
import { BaseCommand, ExitCode } from './base.js'

export default class MyCommand extends BaseCommand {
  readonly config: CommandConfig = {
    name: 'mycommand',
    description: 'Brief description of what the command does',
    args: [
      { name: 'argName', description: 'Arg description', required: true }
    ],
    flags: {
      verbose: { type: 'boolean', short: 'v', description: 'Enable verbose logging' },
      help: { type: 'boolean', short: 'h', description: 'Show help' },
    },
    examples: ['rn-toolbox mycommand --flag value'],
  }

  async execute(parsed: ParsedArgs): Promise<void> {
    const { args, flags } = parsed
    // Implementation here

    // logVerbose() is inherited from BaseCommand
    if (this.flags?.verbose) {
      this.logVerbose(message)
    }
  }
}

Key Implementation Patterns

• Parallel processing - Use Promise.all() for iOS and Android operations
• Verbose logging - Support -v flag with this.logVerbose() method
• App name resolution - Use extractAppName() from utils/app.utils.ts or --appName flag
• Console colors - Import cyan(), green(), red(), yellow() from utils/color.utils.ts
• ESM imports - Always use .js extensions (e.g., '../types.js')

Asset Size Definitions

When adding new asset types, define sizes in src/constants.ts as typed arrays.

After Creating a Command

1. Run pnpm build to compile TypeScript
2. Create tests in test/commands/{name}.test.ts
3. Test locally via ./bin/dev.js {command} --appName TestApp

Execution Guidelines

1. Review existing commands - Understand current patterns before implementing
2. Confirm the plan - Describe the command interface before writing code
3. Follow conventions - Use established patterns from this codebase
4. Add MPL-2.0 license header - Required on all source files
5. Create tests - Every command needs corresponding test coverage

Command Checklist

• Extends BaseCommand from src/commands/base.ts
• Static properties defined: args, flags, description, examples
• Verbose logging support with -v flag
• ESM imports with .js extensions
• MPL-2.0 license header present
• Colors used from utils/color.utils.ts
• Tests created in test/commands/
