Info & Resources

Two read-only commands that print useful information.

info

expressots info
# alias
expressots i

Prints:

Field	Source
Project name	package.json → name
Project version	package.json → version
Project description	package.json → description
Project author	package.json → author
Operating system	os.platform() + os.release()
Node version	process.version
CLI bundle	BUNDLE_VERSION baked at CLI build time

No global --version

The CLI intentionally does not expose expressots --version. Use expressots info or npm list -g @expressots/cli.

Example output

Project:      my-api
Description:  An ExpressoTS v4 application
Version:      0.1.0
Author:       You

OS:           win32 10.0.22631
Node:         v20.18.0
CLI:          4.0.0-beta.1

resources

expressots resources
# alias
expressots r

Prints a cli-table3 of every command and every generate schematic, including the new v4 ones (interceptor, event, handler, guard, config). It's the command cheat sheet, the answer to "what can I scaffold and how?".

resources is not the same as yargs --help:

Command	What you get
expressots resources	Wide table of every command and schematic in one shot.
expressots --help	yargs-generated short summary plus subcommand pointers.
expressots <cmd> --help	yargs help for a specific command (flags, options, positionals).
