Suggestion: Support for command names from an array

[ghost]

example,

vorpal.command(CommandString)//etc where CommandString is a string, or the result of json.stringifying the contents of a json file. Would be really useful.

[MatthieuLemoine]

vorpal.command already takes a string as argument. What would be the content of your json file ?

[ghost]

`vorpal.command(["nano", "mkdir", "wget"]).action(function(args,callback){
console.log("it works.")
})

` use any of those commands to execute the same block of code without having to write it out again.

@ozzie1998 you can achieve it similar to this using .alias()

vorpal
  .command('test', 'make it work')
  .alias(['nano', 'mkdir', 'wget'])
  .action(function (args) {
    console.log('it works')
  })

This is for an app I'm working on where the user can provide their own commands, that would not work.

I'm out of your app context, but aliases seem to fit your need. When you need to use single string for command - just pass it to vorpal.command(). On the other hand, when you want to use an array, you can put its first element in vorpal.command() and rest of elements into alias().

@ozzie1998 This won't work as commands support patterns for arguments, which in turn would make no sense for other items in the array. Use alias instead.

[ghost]

The commands need to be custom set, alias would not allow that. added or deleted.

@ozzie1998 That doesn't make much sense, as calling command or alias would happen in the same scope. Do you have an example?
