framework for building configurable CLIs

/**
 * @file This file types everything for Imperative Override capabilities.
 *
 * Based on architectural decisions and ease of development, all future
 * additions to the {@link ImperativeOverrides} object must represent one of the
 * following 2 types:
 *
 * - **{@link IConstructor}** - This is a reference to a class constructor that
 * will be used by the {@link OverridesLoader} when creating the various
 * overrides factories.
 * - **string** - An absolute or relative path to an import module from which
 * either the {@link OverridesLoader} or the {@link PluginManagementFacility}
 * will load before using the constructor in a factory. If defined in this
 * manner, all type checks will be lost and we gain the ability to reside in a
 * static file.
 *
 * Available overrides are defined by the {@link ImperativeOverrides}
 * interface. The interface requires all keys to be a constructor based on the
 * usage of this interface. The type {@link IImperativeOverrides} is what
 * enforces that each constructor key on ImperativeOverrides to also allow
 * strings and undefined values.

    /**
     * A class that your Imperative CLI app can provide us in place of our
     * {@link DefaultCredentialManager}, so that you can meet your security
     * requirements. The provided class must extend Imperative's
     * {@link AbstractCredentialManager}
     *
     * There are 2 ways that you can specify your credential manager to us:
     * 1. If you are within any code statements, you can directly provide a class that adheres to the
     *    {@link ICredentialManagerConstructor}
     *    - {@link IImperativeConfig.configurationModule}
     *    - {@link Imperative.init}
     * 2. You can also provide a string specifying the location of a module to load.
     *
     * ### Directly Providing a Class (Way #1)
     *
     * This method is fairly straight forward as all that you need to do is provide the class name
     * of a class that adheres to the {@link ICredentialManagerConstructor}.
     *
     * ### Specifying the Location of a Class Module (Way #2)
     *
     * This method is a bit more complicated compared to Way #1, but it allows for your package.json to
     * contain all of your necessary config. The string parameter can either be an absolute path (for
     * those cases where you want to have a bit more control by using `__dirname`) or a relative path.
     *
     * In the case that the string is a relative path, it __MUST__ be a path relative to the entry
     * point of your CLI. (__NOTE:__ In the case of a plugin, this is relative to your require entry point)
     *
     * For example:
     *
     * __Assume__
     *  - `/` is the root of your project
     *  - `/lib/index.js` is the compiled entry point of your project.
     *  - `/lib/overrides/OverrideCredentialManager.js` is the compiled location of your credential manager
     *
     * __Then__
     *  - `IImperativeOverrides.CredentialManager = "./overrides/OverrideCredentialManager";`
     *
     * #### Expected Format of Module File
     *
     * Imperative will expect that the file specified in the location string exports a class that extends
     * the {@link AbstractCredentialManager}. This can be done in TypeScript in one of the following ways:
     *
     * _Exporting an Anonymous Class_
     * ```TypeScript
     * export = class extends AbstractCredentialManager {
     *   // Code goes here
     * };
     * ```
     *
     * _Exporting a Named Class_
     * ```TypeScript
     * export = class CredentialManager extends AbstractCredentialManager {
     *   // Code goes here
     * };
     * ```
     *
     * _Using `module.exports` (Not preferred for TypeScript Users)_
     * ```TypeScript
     * class CredentialManager extends AbstractCredentialManager {
     *   // Code goes here
     * }
     *
     * module.exports = CredentialManager;
     * ```
     */
    CredentialManager: ICredentialManagerConstructor;
}
/**
 * All of the Default Imperative classes that can be changed by your Imperative CLI app.
 *
 * A plugin can also define overrides through the same means as an Imperative CLI app.
 * When additional overrides provided by plugins are present, Imperative will favor
 * those classes over ones provided by your application.
 *
 * Whether you are defining an Imperative Plugin or an Imperative CLI app, all keys in
 * this object are expected to be a class constructor or of type string.
 *
 * - A class constructor will be instantiated directly from imperative with no additional work
 * by the provider. (Assuming it is properly defined for the specific key)
 * - A string will trigger imperative to load the module before instantiating it.
 *     - If the string is absolute, nothing special happens.
 *     - If the string is relative, then imperative will base the load on a well known location
 *       depending on if it is a plugin provided override or base cli provided override.
 *         - For Imperative Plugins: The module is located relative to the packages default import path (e.g `require('package-name')`)
 *         - For Imperative CLI Apps: The module is located relative to the main entry point of your application
 *
 * When defining the location of an overrides as a string, it must adhere to the following format. Otherwise
 * Imperative will not be able to load the class.
 *
 * _Exporting an Anonymous Class_
 * ```TypeScript
 * export = class {
 *   // Code goes here
 * };
 * ```
 *
 * _Exporting a Named Class_
 * ```TypeScript
 * export = class YourOverridesClass {
 *   // Code goes here
 * };
 * ```
 *
 * _Using `module.exports` (Not preferred for TypeScript Users)_
 * ```TypeScript
 * class YourOverridesClass {
 *   // Code goes here
 * }
 *
 * module.exports = YourOverridesClass;
 * ```
 *
 * @see {@link ImperativeOverrides} for documentation on the available keys.
