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

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
