Add cat/cat.js which reads a file path from argv and prints the file contents using node fs promises and top-level await. Logs argv and path (debug output).
- Refactor to async readMultipleFiles() function - Support reading multiple files via Promise.all - Output concatenated file contents to stdout - Add error handling with exit code 1 on failure - Remove debug logging (argv, path) - Fix markdown list formatting in README (bullets)
- Replace manual argv parsing with commander.js for robust CLI handling - Add -n/--number flag to number all output lines - Add -b/--number-nonblank flag to number only non-empty lines - Refactor variable names for clarity (filePathsToRead, concatenatedContent, etc) - Improve error handling with process.exitCode = 1 - Remove debug logging
- Add ls/ls.js: reads a directory, supports -1 (one-per-line) and -a (include dotfiles) - Use commander for CLI flags, fs.promises.readdir for reading directories - Add error handling and set non-zero exit code on failure - docs(ls): normalize README bullets so example commands render correctly
- Add wc/wc.js: reads files and outputs line, word, and byte counts - Support multiple files with totals row - Use fs.promises.readFile for async file reading - Add error handling for missing files with non-zero exit code - Format output to match standard wc utility (padded columns) - docs(wc): normalize README bullets so example commands render correctly
- Migrate from manual argv parsing to commander.js for robust flag handling - Add support for -l (lines), -w (words), -c (bytes) flags - Refactor calculateFileStats to return object with descriptive properties - Rename printFormattedLine to printReport for clarity - Improve flag detection: default to all columns when no flags provided - Maintain totals row for multiple files - Update error messages to match standard wc format - Clean up JSDoc comments and code structure
- Rename parameters and variables for better descriptiveness: - files → filePaths - showAll → shouldShowAllStats - results → allFileStats - stats → fileStats - totals → grandTotals - label → displayName - s → stat (in reduce callbacks) - w → word (in filter callback) - output → outputColumns - format → formatColumn - printReport → printFormattedReport - Extract inline calculations to named variables in calculateFileStats() - lines, words, bytes for improved readability - Maintain all functionality and test coverage - No behavioral changes, purely refactoring for clarity
