👑 ADD-NODE-COMPONENT 👑

okay bestie, welcome to add-node-component 💅 it lives in User Commands and it's literally the tool that adds node modules as components to your debian watch setup. she's iconic, she's thorough, and she's about to make your packaging life so much easier, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

add-node-component — yeah that's it, that's the name, the manpage is named add-node-component and the command is add-node-component. we keep it simple here 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

add-node-component <node-modules-to-add-as-component>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

node-modules-to-add-as-component is the list of components you wanna add, bestie 🫶 and here's the tea: you can pin a version if you want. like, for example:

bson@1.0.0

so yes, versions are very much allowed and encouraged when you need them 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — prints this. the classic "help me pls" flag 🌈
  • -c, --checksum — installs the new component with "checksum" tacked onto the end of the debian/watch line. this one is the default, and if you want the full lore check uscan(1) 📖
  • -g, --group — installs the new component with "group" at the end of the debian/watch line 🔥
  • --ignore — installs the new component with "ignore" at the end of the debian/watch line 🙈
  • --no-ctype — don't add "ctype=nodejs" in debian/watch. again, uscan(1) has the details. heads up though: right now this is enabled automatically unless you're using --checksum 👀
  • -d, --download — downloads the new sources ⬇️✨
  • -i, --install — imports the downloaded sources. and yes, it implies -d, because you can't import what you never downloaded, bestie 😭
  • -f, --remove-tag — removes the origin tag if it exists locally (this happens before the import) 🏷️
  • -u, --cme-update — fires off a "cme update dpkg-compyright" after the import so your debian/copyright gets updated. yes we're fancy 💅
  • -r, --remove-component — removes the component instead of adding it. this is the default when del-node-component is used, iykyk 🗑️
  • -l, --list-components — prints the components list 📋
  • -m, --list-modules — prints the modules list 🧾
  • -p, --cmp-prefix — the component name prefix. default is empty, so like, nothing ✨
  • --force-npm-reg — forces the use of the npm registry 📦
  • --force-github-tags — forces the use of GitHub tags 🐙
  • --uscan-option — option(s) to pass along to uscan. it's multi-valued, so you can stack 'em. Default: "-dd --download-version" ⭐
  • --cmp-tree — prints a digraph of the relation between components. feed it straight into graph-easy and watch the magic happen 🌈🌳

🌱 Environments variables 🌱

  • ANC_CPM_PREFIX — changes the default --cmp-prefix value 💜
