Installation

Using NPM and Node

To run @asyncapi/cli, you'll need Node.js >=v10

node -v

If you don't have Node.js installed or NPM, simply install both via package manager

Install the CLI globaly on your system run CLI it from anywhere:

You can install this CLI using brew package manager.

# Install brew 
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# Install AsyncAPI CLI
brew install asyncapi

Using pkg

Each release of CLI produces a MacOS dedicated pkg file that enables you to install this CLI as MacOS application.

# Download latest release. To download specific release, your link should look similar to https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/download/v0.13.0/asyncapi.pkg. All releases are listed in https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases
curl -OL https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/releases/latest/download/asyncapi.pkg

sudo installer -pkg asyncapi.pkg -target /

Usage

As of now, the @asyncapi/cli only supports validation of the specification file. (This is still under development for more features.)

We have well-documented help commands so just run:

asyncapi --help 

It should print something like:

Contributing

Read CONTRIBUTING guide.

Set up development environment

Follow these steps:

• Clone the repo.
• Run npm install to install all the required dependencies
• Run npm run test to make sure everything is properly set up
• Run npm run build and then bin/run to try new CLI locally

UX developed for the CLI should be compliant with Command Line Interface Guideline

Command Structure and Patterns

We are following verb + noun and namespace + noun + [verb] pattern for making our commands and arguments. For example asyncapi validate <spec-file-path> and asyncapi config context add <context-name> <spec-file-path>.
