Clone the project and run the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
npx link
When you've made a change to the CLI and want to test it out, you can rerun the build and link steps.
This will make the CLI available on your local node_modules
path.
npx link
uses the link
package to symlink the calm
executable in node_modules/.bin
to your locally-built CLI.
Note: you can also use npm link
but this installs to your global package registry.
This will make the executable available as just calm
, but will pollute your global NPM profile and may require sudo
depending on your OS.
Some other commands that you might find useful during development include:
npm run lint
to point out any lint errors in the codenpm run test
to run the tests against the code base
You can find the full list by examining the package.json
The OWASP dependency check tool will run on PRs and periodically on the committed code, but it can be helpful to be able to run this locally to investigate CVEs.
To use the dependency check tool locally, first install the tool following the instructions for your operating system here.
Once that is done the tool is configured as a script in the package.json, run npm run dependency-check
; the reports will be output to cli/dependency-check-report
.
