Features

Inferred Configuration

Edam tracks the first matched configuration starting with process.cwd(), and lookup the parent ../ paths and so on like .babelrc. (cosmiconfig)

JSON file .edamrc supports human-like syntax like comment.(JSON5)

It's awesome that edam supports extends field like tsconfig.json.

// root/.edamrc
{
  alias: {
    react: 'facebook/react'
  },
  plugins: ['edam-plugin-dulcet-prompt']
}
// root/tpl/.edamrc
{
  extends: ['../.edamrc']
  alias: {
    edam: {
      type: 'git',
      url: 'imcuttle/edam',
      config: {
        output: "./here"
      }
      // The config has higher priority when source equals `edam`
      // Support fields: cacheDir / output / plugins / storePrompts / pull
      // version >= 2.2
    }
  }
}
// root/tpl/.edamrc 
{
  alias: {
    edam: {
      type: 'git',
      url: 'imcuttle/edam',
      config: {
        output: "./here"
      }
    },
    react: 'facebook/react'
  },
  plugins: ['edam-plugin-dulcet-prompt']
}

Three pull ways

    url: 'edam',
    version: 'latest'
  }
}

git

github:imcuttle/cuttle?checkout=master

{
  source: {
    type: 'git',
    url: 'https://github.com/imcuttle/edam.git',
    // branch / commit SHA / tag
    checkout: 'master'
  }
}

file

It's easy to understand.

Prompts-hold

Edam could save the latest user-input when storePrompts is on. and you can avoid the frequent input passing yes flag.
