I am working on this side project fcal
I want to release it as npm package , but I also want it to act as cli.
Should I create another npm package for cli or npm package acts as (both) cli and module ?
I am new to nodejs environment and learning best practices
thanks !

People implement 2 packages, so that one can be installed globally (cli one). I avoid installing globals though, I always prefer local installation and for cli I use
yarn cli-nameGlobal packages are a bit unnecessary in my opinion due to npx. But that said a lib and a client (cli) is a good idea.
it seems good idea, thanks
I see lots of people making 2 packages. Just keeps it that bit cleaner and easier to maintain.
yes, I am thinking of creating two packages
