Vangtage gives you a new perspective into your live node application not previously available. Inspired by and based on commander.js, Vantage turns your live Node app into a CLI with an interactive prompt provided by inquirer.js. Accessible locally or remotely, Vantage lets build your own API and import community extensions, introducing the possibility of live activity and diagnostics for your dev and prod environments. Node now has a first-class CLI: tab-completion, history, you name it. Build your own API with the familiar syntax of commander.js. Build and use community extensions for suites of commands: coded or in realtime. Production ready, with authentication middlware and a basic firewall. Built-in REPL. Unlike other REPL or CLI modules, Vantage allows you to remotely connect to your live app and access the CLI transparently, exactly as you would in an SSH session. Vantage can connect through an unlimited number of live Node instances across multiple machines, piping commands and information to and from your local terminal.
