# SpaceX-cli
## View upcoming launches in the terminal

### Install with `npm install -g npc-strider/spacex-cli`

### ** I'm not including the proper `spacex.ico` in my releases to prevent trademark infringement :/ sorry. Add your own spacex logo in the npm directory: `npm\node_modules\spacex-cli` **

*You may notice that falcon heavy launch shows as falcon 9, but that appears to be due to the API. Doesn't appear like this now.

```
Usage:
spacex-cli
spacex-cli [-a ] | [-h] | [-s ] | [-d] | [-b] | [-v] | [-p ] | [-n

Options:
-h, --help Show this help information.
-s, --screen_refresh Screen refresh interval in milliseconds. How often time-based information updates [default: 1000]
-a, --api_refresh API refresh interval in milliseconds. How often we poll the api for new/updated information. Please don't use small values! [default: 600000]
-c, --color Print with color [default: true]
-d, --dump Non-interactive mode - dumps the main launches table [default: false]
-b, --blink Blink for close launches. This argument exists because I know some people hate blink [default: false]
-v, --archive Archive launch data when changed [default: false]
-p, --path Application directory [default: ~/.spacexcli]
-n, --notify_time At this amount of seconds remaining until launch, send a notification [default: 5400]
-g, --highlight_time At this amount of seconds remaining until launch, highlight the row in the table view [default: 86400]
```
This is an enhanced version of a basic CLI bash script I was using.

Because the bash script was based on the v3 [spacexdata](https://github.com/r-spacex/SpaceX-API) api, I was forced to upgrade it to use the new v4 api.

So I decided to not just upgrade the bash script to use the new api, but also add some new features and more interactibility.

The cli isn't pretty like some others, but I think it's quite dense in relevant information.
