package.json Just creates a file not Execute

21 views Asked by At

This is my add-cli.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

// Extracting the command line arguments
const args = process.argv.slice(2);

// Function to add numbers
function addNumbers(numbers) {
    return numbers.reduce((acc, curr) => acc + parseInt(curr), 0);
}

// Checking if arguments are provided
if (args.length === 0) {
    console.log("Please provide numbers to add. Example: add-cli 2 3");
} else {
    const sum = addNumbers(args);
    console.log("Sum:", sum);
}
`

This is my package.josn { "name": "add-cli", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "A CLI tool to add numbers.", "main": "add-cli.js", "bin": "./add-cli.js", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" }, "author": "Your Name", "license": "MIT" }

Now when i run ./add-cli 2 3 It doesnt log 5 but creates a new files named 2 and 3 and brings cursor to add-cli.js file

I was learning to build a cli for npm and i saw that using bin we can make a command that can be used to execute that linked file.

P.S. - It works with node ./add-cli.js 2 3
