gls-cli

Node CLI for General Language Syntax (GLS).

Usage

npm install general-language-syntax gls-cli ts-gls typescript gls-cli --global

gls --help

Pass any number of filenames and/or globs (matched with glob) to the CLI to convert those files to an output -l/--language.

Input files to convert from GLS to the output language must have a .gls extension.

.ts files may also be given with -t/--tsconfig to compile to .gls files before output language conversion.

Option	Purpose
-e/--exclude	Glob(s) of file(s) to exclude from conversion.
-l/--language	Output language to convert to. (Required)
-t/--tsconfig	TypeScript project configuration file. (Required if .ts file(s) given)
-v/--version	Prints the GLS, GLS-CLI, and TS-GLS versions.

Example Usage

To convert file.gls to file.py:

gls --language Python file.gls

To convert *.ts to *.gls, then to *.java:

gls --language Java --tsconfig ./tsconfig *.ts

Requires Node >=8
