INDEX.JS(1)

📦 version 8.5.1, in ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

index.js — the whole point of this girl is to list files to embed in an npm package 💖 like that's literally her entire job and she ate

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, before you do literally anything else, here's the vibe check on how you actually run this thing:

usage: npm-packlist [-s --sort] [directory, directory, ...]

so npm-packlist is the command name, and the manual page you're reading right now is index.js(1) — section 1, User Commands, main character energy, no cap 👑

here's the breakdown, and yes I'm gonna spell out every single piece because we don't gatekeep here:

  • -s, --sort — the short one and the long one, same girl, two fits 🎀 (the long form is written as --sort in the usage line, so that's exactly what you type)
  • [directory, directory, ...] — zero, one, or a whole lil squad of directories, comma-separated in the usage notation, and the square brackets mean they're optional. bring a crowd, bring nobody, she's not gonna be weird about it 🫶
and that's it. that's the entire usage line. short, sweet, iconic, periodt 💅

the way this page is set up is very "tell me the vibe and let me live," so if you were hoping for a 40-option deep dive... not today, bestie. what you see is what you get, and what you get is -s / --sort plus a list of directories 🌸

and that's a wrap on the read 💜 this page comes to you from index.js version 3.0.0, dated February 2022 — shoutout to that era, she's still serving 🔥 go forth, list your files, and slay the packaging game, iykyk 🦋✨
