API

.asyncHelpers

Load and register async template helpers from a glob or filepath.

Example

$ app --asyncHelpers="foo.js"

.config

Persist a value to a namespaced config object in package.json. For example, if you're using verb, the value would be saved to the verb object.

Params

• {Object}: app

Example

# display the config
$ app --config
# set a boolean for the current project
$ app --config=toc
# save the cwd to use for the current project
$ app --config=cwd:foo
# save the tasks to run for the current project
$ app --config=tasks:readme

.cwd

Set the --cwd to use in the current project.

Example

$ app --cwd=foo

.data

Define data to be used for rendering templates.

Example

$ app --data=foo:bar
# {foo: 'bar'}

$ app --data=foo.bar:baz
# {foo: {bar: 'baz'}}

$ app --data=foo:bar,baz
# {foo: ['bar', 'baz']}}

.del

Delete a value from app.

Example

# delete a value from package.json config (e.g. `verb` object)
$ app --del=config.foo
# delete a value from in-memory options
$ app --del=option.foo
# delete a property from the global config store
$ app --del=globals.foo
