arethetypeswrong/cli

A CLI for arethetypeswrong.github.io.

This project attempts to analyze npm package contents for issues with their TypeScript types, particularly ESM-related module resolution issues. The following kinds of problems can be detected in the node10, node16, and bundler module resolution modes:

Installation

npm i -g @arethetypeswrong/cli

Usage

The attw command acts very similarly to arethetypeswrong.github.io, with some additional features that are useful for command line usage.

The CLI can check an npm packed tarball:

npm pack
attw cool-package-1.0.0.tgz
# or
attw $(npm pack)

or pack one in-place by specifying --pack and a directory:

attw --pack .

or check a package from npm:

attw --from-npm @arethetypeswrong/cli

You can also use attw without installing globally by using npx. Pack one in-place by specifying --pack and a directory:

npx --yes @arethetypeswrong/cli --pack .

or check a package from npm:

npx --yes @arethetypeswrong/cli --from-npm @arethetypeswrong/cli

Configuration

attw supports a JSON config file (by default named .attw.json) which allows you to pre-set the command line arguments. The options are a one-to-one mapping of the command line flags, changed to camelCase, and are all documented in their relevant Options section below.

Options

Help

Show help information and exit.

In the CLI: --help, -h

attw --help

Version

Print the current version of attw and exit.

In the CLI: --version, -v

attw --version

Pack

Specify a directory to run npm pack in (instead of specifying a tarball filename), analyze the resulting tarball, and delete it afterwards.

attw --pack .

From NPM

Specify the name (and, optionally, version or SemVer range) of a package from the NPM registry instead of a local tarball filename.

In the CLI: --from-npm, -p

attw --from-npm <package-name>

In the config file, fromNpm can be a boolean value.

DefinitelyTyped

When a package does not contain types, specifies the version or SemVer range of the DefinitelyTyped @types package to use. Defaults to inferring the best version match from the implementation package version.

In the CLI: --definitely-typed, --no-definitely-typed

attw -p <package-name> --definitely-typed <version>
attw -p <package-name> --no-definitely-typed

Format

The format to print the output in. Defaults to auto.

The available values are:

table, where columns are entrypoints and rows are resolution kinds
table-flipped, where columns are resolution kinds and rows are entrypoints
ascii, for large tables where the output is clunky
auto, which picks whichever of the above best fits the terminal width
json outputs the raw JSON data (overriding all other rendering options)

In the CLI: --format, -f

attw --format <format> <file-name>

In the config file, format can be a string value.

Entrypoints

attw automatically discovers package entrypoints by looking at package.json exports and subdirectories with additional package.json files. In a package lacking exports, providing the --entrypoints-legacy option will include all published code files. This automatic discovery process can be overridden with the --entrypoints option, or altered with the --include-entrypoints and --exclude-entrypoints options:

attw --pack . --entrypoints . one two three    # Just ".", "./one", "./two", "./three"
attw --pack . --include-entrypoints added      # Auto-discovered entyrpoints plus "./added"
attw --pack . --exclude-entrypoints styles.css # Auto-discovered entrypoints except "./styles.css"
attw --pack . --entrypoints-legacy             # All published code files

Ignore Rules

Specifies rules/problems to ignore (i.e. not raise an error for).

The available values are:

no-resolution
untyped-resolution
false-cjs
false-esm
cjs-resolves-to-esm
fallback-condition
cjs-only-exports-default
false-export-default
unexpected-module-syntax
missing-export-equals
internal-resolution-error
named-exports

In the CLI: --ignore-rules

attw <file-name> --ignore-rules <rules...>

In the config file, ignoreRules can be an array of strings.

Summary/No Summary

Whether to display a summary of what the different errors/problems mean. Defaults to showing the summary (--summary).

In the CLI: --summary/--no-summary

attw --summary/--no-summary <file-name>

In the config file, summary can be a boolean value.

Emoji/No Emoji

Whether to print the information with emojis. Defaults to printing with emojis (--emoji).

In the CLI: --emoji/--no-emoji

attw --emoji/--no-emoji <file-name>

In the config file, emoji can be a boolean value.

Color/No Color

Whether to print with colors. Defaults to printing with colors (--color).

The FORCE_COLOR env variable is also available for use (set is to 0 or 1).

In the CLI: --color/--no-color

attw --color/--no-color <file-name>

In the config file, color can be a boolean value.

Quiet

When set, nothing will be printed to STDOUT.

In the CLI: --quiet, -q

attw --quiet <file-name>

In the config file, quiet can be a boolean value.

Config Path

The path to the config file. Defaults to ./.attw.json.

In the CLI: --config-path <path>

attw --config-path <path> <file-name>

Cannot be set from within the config file itself.
