When a command is invoked in Roc or when manually adding the runtime to a project a context object will be built that is used in several places in Roc. This object contains important information about the current state of the project created by the runtime.
Object structure
{
actions: [], // All registered actions, by the extensions and the project itself
commands: {}, // All available commands from all the extensions
config: {}, // The complete configuration from the extensions and the project
dependencies: {
exports: {}, // The dependencies that is exported from the dependencies and will be available in the project
uses: {}, // The dependencies that are used in the different extensions
requires: {}, // The dependencies that are required by the different extensions
},
directory: '', // The path to the directory where the runtime is running inside
extensionConfig: {}, // The configuration before the user configuration is added
hooks: {}, // All the registered hooks from the extensions
meta: {}, // The meta configuration from the extensions
packageJSON: {}, // Content of the projects package.json
projectExtensions: [], // The extensions that the project directly depend on
usedExtensions: [], // All the used extensions that are used, direct and indirect
verbose: false/true // If the runtime is started in verbose mode or not
}An array with objects with actions for each extension.
[{
actions: [{ // roc.actions
action: () => {},
description: 'The decription',
extension: 'roc-package-example',
hook: 'hook-name',
post: () => {},
}],
name: 'roc-package-example', // The of the extension that registrated the actions, or the project name
project: false, // true if the actions are from the project
}]Will be an array with objects with the following properties:
name The extension that the actions belongs to.
actions Action objects.
See definition of action object here.
/**
* A complete action object in Roc.
*
* @typedef {Object} rocAction
* @property {string} [extension] - For which extension this action should run.
* @property {string} [hook] - For which hook this action should run.
* @property {string} [description] -A description on what it does, used for documentation generation and can use Markdowns.
* @property {function} action - The action function that does the actual work, see documentation for more info here.
*/An object with the merged commands.
The structure of the object is the same as the one used in the Roc object with the exception for __extensions and __context that Roc will add when building the context to the groups and the commands.
__extensions
This property is an array with strings that list all of the extensions that have modified it in some way. This is used in the core together with override to make sure that extensions knowingly override groups and commands defined by other extensions.
__context
This is the path to the extension that registered the command. This is used internally for giving access to node_modules/.bin when invoking a string command.
An object containing the final configuration. This means that the project configuration will have been merged with the configuration from the packages as well as the settings that was defined in the cli at runtime and the __raw values added to their properties in settings.
An object where the key is the dependency with objects for the exported dependencies from the extensions.
{
dependencyName: {
context, // the location of the extension
version, // semver for required version
extension, // the name of the extension
resolve, // custom resolve function
}
}An object where the key is the dependency with objects for the required dependencies by the extensions.
{
dependencyName: {
context, // the location of the extension
version, // semver for required version
extension, // the name of the extension
}
}An object where the key is the extension with objects where the key is the dependency. Lists all of the used dependencies by the extensions.
{
extensionName: {
dependencyName: {
context, // the location of the extension
version, // semver for required version
extension, // the name of the extension
}
}
}A string with the path for the directory that the runtime is running inside. Will by default be process.cwd().
An object with the merged configuration object from all of the extensions. This means that this does not contain the project configuration or settings set on the CLI.
See here for the configuration structure.
An object with objects with actions for each extension.
{
'extension-name': roc.hooks
} Will be an object where the key is the extension that the hook belongs to and the value is an object with the hooks definitions, see what it can contain here.
An object with the merged meta configuration.
The structure of the object is the same as the one used in the Roc object with the exception for __extensions that Roc will add when building the context. This property is an array with strings that list all of the extensions that have modified it in some way. This is used in the core together with override to make sure that extensions knowingly override configuration defined by other extensions.
The complete package.json for the extension.

Will be set to true if -V, --verbose was set. Should be used to print extra information.
