Add nicer CLI flags and output #1

Closed mrchrisadams closed 5 years ago

mrchrisadams commented 5 years ago

Right now, we just dump a bunch of javascript objects to the command line.

This isn't very helpful.

What would be a nice start, would be to get a lighthouse ci style breakdown like so:

lighthouse-ci-cli-ui

What would be really nice would be to have a flag to output json in a format that works nicely with vega-lite.

This would make it straightforward to talk about analysis using observable, or if you understandably aren't crazy about sharing AWS API keys onto thirty platforms, run the checks locally.

It looks like we can use cli table give us a nice table quickly:

We can also use the same spinner to account for the call taking a while to return

The vega output now is in #3 , so I think @vsmart's PR can resolve this one.
