Web Module Runner

👩‍🚀 The tiny all-in-one development tool for modern web apps — a versatile utility toolkit for running, checking, converting, analyzing, and managing web module tasks from your terminal.

Commands

All commands accept optional arguments. Without arguments, they display recent entries from their log.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/web-module-runner/. Each command maintains its own .log file with timestamped entries in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|value format. A unified history.log tracks all operations across commands.

Export formats supported:

• JSON — Array of objects with type, time, and value fields
• CSV — Standard comma-separated with type,time,value header
• TXT — Human-readable grouped by command type

Requirements

• Bash 4.0+ with set -euo pipefail (strict mode)
• Standard Unix utilities: date, wc, du, grep, tail, sed, cat
• No external dependencies — runs on any POSIX-compliant system

When to Use

1. Tracking web module build tasks — Log and review module runs, builds, and conversions over time
2. Comparing module configurations — Use compare and analyze to record side-by-side evaluations
3. Batch processing workflows — Record batch operations and review history for repeatability
4. Generating reports from logged data — Export accumulated logs to JSON/CSV for downstream analysis
5. Quick health checks — Use status and stats to verify the toolkit state and entry counts at a glance

Examples

# Run a module task and log it
web-module-runner run "build main.js --target es2020"

# Analyze a dependency
web-module-runner analyze "preact@10.x bundle size"

# Batch process multiple modules
web-module-runner batch "convert all legacy modules to ESM"

# Search for previous entries containing a keyword
web-module-runner search "preact"

# Export everything to JSON for external tooling
web-module-runner export json

# View summary statistics
web-module-runner stats

# Show recent activity log
web-module-runner recent

How It Works

Web Module Runner stores all data locally in ~/.local/share/web-module-runner/. Each command creates a dedicated log file (e.g., run.log, check.log, analyze.log). Every entry is timestamped and appended, providing a full audit trail of all operations. The history.log file aggregates activity across all commands for unified tracking.

When called without arguments, each command displays its most recent 20 entries, making it easy to review past work without needing to manually inspect log files.

Output

All output goes to stdout. Redirect to a file with:

web-module-runner stats > report.txt
web-module-runner export json  # writes to ~/.local/share/web-module-runner/export.json
