JokeAPI-v2/tools

JokeAPI CLI tools

Since v2.3.2, JokeAPI has a globally callable command line binary, which acts as an interface to all command-line tools inside this ./tools folder.

Setup:

To register the JokeAPI binary, run the command npm run link
If you get an EACCES error, try using sudo npm run link, otherwise you probably need to reinstall Node.js through a version manager like nvm

Afterwards, the binary will be globally callable with the commands jokeapi and japi

To display a list of all commands, run jokeapi -h
To get command-specific help and show the command's arguments, run jokeapi -h <command>

Commands:

Command	Description
jokeapi start	Starts JokeAPI (equivalent to running npm start or node .)
jokeapi info	Prints information about JokeAPI, like the /info endpoint
