Cliffy
A Node.js framework for building interactive, REPL-style command-line interfaces with typed parameters and sub-commands.
What is Cliffy?
Cliffy is a Node.js framework for building interactive command-line interfaces that function as a REPL, allowing users to run multiple commands in a single Node process. It provides features like typed parameters, sub-commands, and auto-generated help menus, making it easier to create user-friendly CLI tools without the complexity of traditional argument parsing.
Node.js developers building interactive CLI applications, such as development tools, admin panels, or utilities that require persistent command execution and complex command structures.
Developers choose Cliffy for its REPL-based approach, which simplifies building interactive CLIs with features like typed parameters and sub-commands, all while avoiding the limitations of standard argv parsers.
