Why Create a New CLI?
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
Old School
• Python 2.7.x
• Poorly documented
• Difficult to maintain
• Inconsistent arguments
• Rigid plugin system
Building a New CLI
• Python 3? Node.js? Ruby? Java+Rhino?
• How comfortable are we with these technologies?
• Compatible license?
• What libraries are available?• XML/JSON parsing
• Code minification
• Image resizing
Appc ♥ Node.js
• JavaScript!
• MIT License
• Small size
• No native dependencies
• Package manager (npm)
• Tons of great community modules
Getting Started
Installing the Titanium CLI
First Things First
• Node.js• 0.8 or newer
• NPM
Installation
Note: may need to run as npm sudo
npm install -g titanium
Touring the CLI
Built-in Commands
Running The CLI

Usage: titanium <command> [options]
Commands: config get and set config options help displays this help screen info display development environment information login logs into the Appcelerator network logout logs out of the Appcelerator network module manages installed Titanium Modules plugin manages installed Titanium Plugins sdk manages installed Titanium SDKs setup run the setup wizard status displays session information Global Flags: --banner, --no-banner displays Titanium version banner [default: true] --colors, --no-colors use colors in the terminal [default: true] -h, --help displays help --prompt, --no-prompt prompt for missing options [default: true] -q, --quiet suppress all output -v, --version displays the current version
Help!

Enter ctrl-c at any time to quit
What is your name? (this is used as the default for the "author" field in the tiapp.xml or module manifest file when creating new projects) (Chris Barber) What is your email address used for logging into the Appcelerator Network? (cbarber@appcelerator.com) What would you like as your default locale? (examples: "en", "de", "fr") (en-us) What Titanium SDK would you like to use by default? (2.1.3.GA) Path to your workspace where your projects should be created: (~/appc/workspace) Path to the Android SDK: (this is needed for building Android apps)

Extending the CLI
Plugins, commands, and hooks
Plugins
• Similar to Titanium Modules
• Legacy plugin.py not supported today
• CLI commands & hooks
• Installed globally or in project directory
• Enabled via the tiapp.xml <plugins>
Sample Command
myplugin/1.0/cli/commands/magic.js
exports.cliVersion = '>=3.X';exports.desc = 'does magical things’;
exports.config = function (logger, config, cli) { return { flags: { extra: { abbr: 'e', desc: 'adds more magic’ } } };};
exports.validate = function (logger, config, cli) { // nothing to validate};
exports.run = function (logger, config, cli) { var s = 'doing magical stuff!';
if (cli.argv.extra) { s = s.replace(/./g, function (c, i) { return i % 2 == 0 ? c.toUpperCase() : c.toLowerCase(); }); }
logger.log(s);};
Sample Hook
myplugin/1.0/cli/hooks/buildhook.js
exports.cliVersion = '>=3.X';
exports.init = function (logger, config, cli) { cli.addHook('build.pre.compile', function (data, finished) { logger.log('modifying some code before build starts'); finished(); });
cli.addHook('build.post.compile', { priority: 900, post: function (data, finished) { logger.log('packaging some extra files after the build'); finished(); } });
cli.addHook('build.finalize', function (data, finished) { logger.log('cleaning up my mess'); finished(); });};
Demo
Kick the tires & light the fires
What’s Next?
// TODO:
• More plugin hooks
• Project exporting & migration tools
• Better support for multiple Titanium SDKs
• What would you like to see?
Summary
Just in case you were sleeping
The New CLI Rocks
• Easy to install, easy to use
• Fast as shit
• Built-in documentation
• Extensible plugin architecture
• Consistent arguments
• Argument prompting
• Internationalization
• Colors!
Get It Today!
Note: may need to run npm as sudo
npm install -g titanium
titanium sdk install --branch 3_0_X --default
