create-react-native-library --tools inconveniences #913
Description
Description
0.55.0 added --tools which introduces a few inconveniences:
--toolseagerly consumes all further arguments that don't start with-. Notably you cannot put the library name at the end of the command anymore:
$ npx create-react-native-library@latest [...] --tools eslint mylib
Unzulässige Werte:
Argument: tools, Gegeben: "mylib", Möglichkeiten: "eslint", "lefthook", "release-it", "jest"
-
I couldn't find a way to select no tools without setting
--local true. I might not want any of these tools despite creating a non-local library though. -
The addition of
--toolsis a breaking change as it is required and has no default value. It would be helpful if this could be called out in the release notes or through semantic versioning.

Hey @Johennes, I'm working on a refactor that will allow specifying
--tools=without any values to say that you don't want to configure any tools.The
--tools eslint jestformat is an artifact of the yargs library - but after the refactor yargs is no longer used, so it won't treat positionals as the value of the argument, but require--tools eslint --tools jestto specify multiple tools.As the CLI is still 0.x, breaking changes can still happen due to semver, but I'll try to document CLI related changes in the changelog.
