🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

prance [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀 options first, then a command, then whatever args that command wants.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --version — shows you the version and then exits. short and sweet, she's not gonna make it weird 💫
  • --help — prints this message and dips. your little guide bestie 🫶

🧚 Commands 🧚

  • compile — compiles the spec you give her, resolving references if that's needed. no cap, refs get handled ✨
  • convert — converts the spec you hand over to OpenAPI 3.x.y. glow-up arc, periodt 🔥
  • validate — validates the spec, or specs (plural!! she's flexible 👑), that you give her.
