Description of work

In this post, I will describe the creation of the short commands module, it is needed for faster command call.

At the end of the post I will give an example of using recursive contextable work

Add short commands

This command module need to use short versions for run other command handlers

Create nx library

npm run -- nx g @nrwl/nest:lib short-commands/server

endy@endy-virtual-machine:~/Projects/current/kaufman-bot$ npm run -- nx g @nrwl/nest:lib short-commands/server

> kaufman-bot@0.0.0 nx
> nx "g" "@nrwl/nest:lib" "short-commands/server"

CREATE libs/short-commands/server/README.md
CREATE libs/short-commands/server/.babelrc
CREATE libs/short-commands/server/src/index.ts
CREATE libs/short-commands/server/tsconfig.json
CREATE libs/short-commands/server/tsconfig.lib.json
UPDATE tsconfig.base.json
CREATE libs/short-commands/server/project.json

npm run -- nx g @nrwl/nest:lib short-commands/server

Add ShortCommandsConfig

libs/short-commands/server/src/lib/short-commands-config/short-commands.config.ts

export const SHORT_COMMANDS_CONFIG = Symbol('SHORT_COMMANDS_CONFIG');

export interface ShortCommandsConfig {
  title: string;
  name: string;
  descriptions: string;
  usage: string[];
  spyWords: string[];
  commands: { [langCode: string]: { [text: string]: string } };
}

Recursive contextable work

I am not write all process of create this logic, because that have very more code, I write about only usage on simple example on jokes commands
