Baseline Browser Mapping - PowerShell Wrapper

This script, baseline-browser-mapping.ps1, is a PowerShell wrapper designed to execute the baseline-browser-mapping Node.js command-line interface (CLI). It is not a standalone tool but acts as a convenience launcher for PowerShell users, bridging the gap between a PowerShell environment and the underlying JavaScript application.

🔰 Getting Started

This script is part of a larger Node.js project. It requires the project's file structure to be intact.

🕰️ Prerequisites

To run this script, you will need:

Node.js: Must be installed on your system. The script will try to use a node executable located in its directory or one available in the system's PATH.
Project Files: The script expects to be located within the project's directory structure, specifically where it can find the main CLI file at ../baseline-browser-mapping/dist/cli.js relative to its own location.

💽 Installation & Execution

This script is intended to be run from within the context of the baseline-browser-mapping project, likely from a PowerShell console.

Navigate to the directory containing the script.
Execute the script, passing any arguments intended for the Node.js CLI.
```
.\baseline-browser-mapping.ps1 [arguments-for-the-cli]
```

🚀 Usage

The script acts as a transparent proxy to the Node.js application. Any arguments passed to the PowerShell script will be forwarded directly to the baseline-browser-mapping CLI. It also correctly handles piped input.

Example:

# Example of passing arguments
.\baseline-browser-mapping.ps1 --help

# Example of using piped input
'{"feature": "flexbox"}' | .\baseline-browser-mapping.ps1

✨ Key Features

Node.js Execution: Automatically finds and runs the cli.js application using the appropriate Node.js executable.
Cross-Platform Aware: Includes logic to handle differences between Windows and non-Windows environments.
Argument Forwarding: Seamlessly passes all command-line arguments to the underlying Node.js script.
Pipeline Support: Correctly handles input piped to it from other PowerShell commands.

📐 Architecture & Security Notes

Wrapper Script: This script's primary function is to launch another application. Its logic is focused on finding the correct executables and paths.
File Structure Dependency: The script is tightly coupled to the project's directory structure and will fail if run from a different location.
