What about having a banner?

Output of verdaccio --info

I have put together a package for the purpose: node-banner

If you link https://opencollective.com/verdaccio at the end with a nice message saying encouraging people to donate or contribute, I'm in. But look pretty nice. Let's see what others think.

[juanpicado]

btw, what did you use to achieve that ? :-)

[DanielRuf]

I think there are already some banner plugins.

I'm not a big fan of such FIGlet solutions in general. Generally we can hardcode it using a template string + kleur (or one of the FIGlet implementations).

[DanielRuf]

We already use kleur and adding the (optional) banner can be easily achieved. I don't think that we need another package which may reference a different kleur version.

Let's reuse and directly integrate it.

@juanpicado figlet and kleur (see the dependencies tab of https://npmjs.com/node-banner).

[juanpicado]

I think @DanielRuf is right. Less dependencies, less headache.

[jamesgeorge007]

Since this is irrelevant as per now shall we close this 🤔

[juanpicado]

I think you misunderstood the feedback, it's fine, but should be "home made" rather using a dependency. Using a template or something is an option, but within our source code, easy to change or update, does it make sense for you?

[juanpicado]

Actually, I'd reuse the header. Something like to have a future verdaccio --about command in the future, displaying key info for the project, url, chat, donations and some relevant data.

@jamesgeorge007 are you still on this?

[jamesgeorge007]

I'm out of town, will shoot up a PR soon

I'm not that sure on how to give it a kick-start (as what you guys intend).
@juanpicado maybe you could give me a better picture on how it should be 🤔

@jamesgeorge007 just use imagination, but I'd recommend do not add new dependencies and if you have to, then should be hosted in our monorepo.
