Pastel is a Next.js-like framework for building command-line apps with Ink, the React-based terminal UI renderer. Commands are defined by creating files in a commands folder, with options and arguments typed via Zod and help messages auto-generated.
Use cases
- build a cli app with react and ink
- create a command-line tool with subcommands and typed options
- auto-generate help text for a node cli
- scaffold a typescript cli project
- build terminal ui apps without manual argument parsing
When to choose
- you want a file-based, convention-over-configuration structure for an Ink CLI
- you need type-safe options and arguments via Zod
- you want auto-generated help output built on Commander
When to avoid
- you need a simple CLI without terminal UI, where plain Commander or yargs suffices
- you don't want a React/Ink dependency
- you need a framework with a large ecosystem or long-term LTS guarantees
