Johnny Decimal CLI
Johnny Decimal JS is a CLI, and a set of portable Javascript utilities for use in building your own Johnny Decimal applications with Javascript.
Get started by looking at either our:
Setup #
The setup for using this CLI tool is simple.
- Install Deno
- Run
deno install --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write --name=jd https://deno.land/x/johnny_decimal/main.ts
This installs the johnny_decimal application under the namespace “jd”. It allows for reading and writing to the filesystem, as well as reading environment variables and running commands. Yes, it is a lot of permissions. I will update this document shortly on what all of these individual permissions are being used for, once I organize this document into a more substantial piece of documentation.
You can then optionally install the cd command by running
jd install
This will add a shell script to your bash profile. I will also add an explanation for this one when I update docs. You can always uninstall this script by running jd uninstall.
Development #
This guide describes usage and extension of our CLI. For more information about importing modules for building your own apps, take a look at our Deno Docs or Github Repository.
The Johnny Decimal CLI is built using Deno. If you don’t know about Deno yet, it’s basically a secure JavaScript/TypeScript runtime made in Rust. You can think of it like the next iteration of Node.js
