stricli

Stricli builds type-safe CLI applications in TypeScript by exposing buildCommand and buildRouteMap APIs that enforce compile-time parameter validation for flags and positional arguments. You define typed commands, wrap them with buildApplication, and execute via run.

Stricli supports multi-runtime execution across Node.js, Bun, and Deno, enabling TypeScript CLI apps to run in any of these environments without modifications. You define commands once and execute them in your preferred JavaScript runtime.

Use Stricli's buildRouteMap to structure multi-command CLIs, which automatically generates help text and version display for each route. This eliminates manual help screen implementation and provides robust routing for complex command structures.

Stricli supports lazy loading for large CLI route maps, allowing commands to load on demand rather than at startup. This improves performance for complex CLIs with many routes by deferring module execution until a specific command is invoked.

Stricli provides custom Context and LocalContext APIs for stdio access in TypeScript CLIs. You define a custom context during application setup, and Stricli injects it into command handlers, providing typed access to standard input, output, and error streams.
