Rewrite daptin-cli from Go to TypeScript with modern CLI framework

[artpar]

Summary

This PR completely rewrites the daptin-cli from Go to TypeScript, modernizing the codebase and improving the developer experience. The new implementation uses Commander.js for CLI parsing, Axios for HTTP requests, and provides a more comprehensive set of commands with better output formatting.

Key Changes

• Language Migration: Converted from Go to TypeScript/Node.js

  • Removed Go-specific files (Makefile, main.go, go.mod dependencies)
  • Added npm-based build system with tsup and TypeScript

• New Client Library: Implemented a TypeScript Daptin client (src/client/)

  • Supports JSON:API protocol with proper request/response handling
  • Includes CRUD operations, actions, aggregations, and relations
  • Built-in axios interceptors for auth token management and debug logging

• Expanded Command Set: Organized commands into logical modules

  • Auth: signup, signin, signin-2fa, whoami
  • Config: add, use, list, remove, show (multi-context support)
  • Schema: tables, describe
  • CRUD: list, get, create, update, delete
  • Actions: actions, action-describe, execute
  • Aggregation: aggregate with grouping, filtering, sorting
  • Relations: relation queries

• Configuration Management:

  • YAML-based config stored in ~/.daptin/config.yaml
  • Support for multiple named server contexts
  • Token persistence per context

• Output Formatting:

  • Table renderer (default) using cli-table3
  • JSON renderer for piping to tools like jq
  • Configurable via --output flag

• Developer Experience:

  • TypeScript for type safety
  • Comprehensive README with examples
  • .gitignore for Node.js projects
  • npm scripts for build, dev, typecheck

Implementation Details

• Uses Commander.js for CLI argument parsing with global options (--endpoint, --config, --output, --token, --debug)
• Axios HTTP client with automatic Bearer token injection
• Inquirer.js for interactive prompts (passwords, OTP)
• Chalk for colored terminal output
• Modular command registration pattern for easy extensibility
• Error handling with user-friendly messages
• Support for environment variables (DAPTIN_ENDPOINT, DAPTIN_CLI_CONFIG)

Breaking Changes

This is a complete rewrite, so the CLI interface has changed. Users will need to reinstall and reconfigure their server endpoints using the new config commands.
