frontstack generate

Before running this command, make sure a current working project is selected, using frontstack project

Development

Configs are set in the config.ts file. You can also control the configs using environment variables.

Configure

By default, the CLI uses the public Frontstack API instance. You can either override the URL directly

FRONTSTACK_CLI_API_ROOT=[your-url] pnpm frontstack login

or enable dev mode (which uses the local Frontstack API instance)

FRONTSTACK_CLI_DEV_MODE=1 pnpm frontstack login

Run

There are two options to run the CLI in development mode:

• Building the app and running the built file (recommended)

  $ pnpm frontstack [command] // e.g. pnpm frontstack info
  

• Run using tsx (this will compile the typescript files on the fly)

  $ pnpm start [command] // e.g. pnpm start info
  

Build

The application is built using pkgroll. The CLI is exported as an ES module and compiled to a single file in the dist folder.

Build the file using pnpm build and run it using node dist/frontstack.mjs.
