Local commands about cli HOT 6 CLOSED

Others contributors have not raised this as an issue. I would think you can install it in a folder, add that folder to the PATH, and create a shell command to call it.

from cli.

Thanks for the reply! Did a bit of further testing... it's not perfect, but if anyone else is interested in local feathers-plus CLI only, these steps get pretty close to global parity:

Fresh Project

yarn init -y

yarn add @feathers-plus/cli --dev

Add to package.json

"scripts": {
  "fp": "feathers-plus",
},

Now you can run all commands locally like so:

yarn fp generate app
yarn fp generate service

Worth noting after i generated a fresh app, i had to manually add these to the package.json

"scripts": {
  ...
  "dev": "nodemon src/",
  "start": "node src/",
   ...
}

from cli.

This is useful info. Thanks!

Could you confirm having to add dev and start? They are generated with everything else in package.json on generate app.

from cli.

for some reason the yarn fp generate app command only adds test:all and start:seed to scripts with the above method, leaving you with this after the app is first generated.

"scripts": {
  "fp": "feathers-plus",
  "test:all": "yarn run eslint && NODE_ENV= npm run mocha",
  "start:seed": "NODE_ENV= node src/ --seed"
},

Assume its because we already have a package.json during yarn init in my example.

from cli.

cli+ checks for feathers-gen-specs.json to see if a folder has a generated app. You already have a package.json in the folder when you run generate app. cli+ does not expect that and results are whatever.

What are you doing with cli+?

from cli.

I don't want to install the CLI as a global package on my machine, I also need a minimal install path for members of the team to get setup.

so it appears i can create a package.json add the CLI as a devDependency and start from there. which gives the above behavior.

Would be great if it could be installed with npx or yarn create as a few other tools do, but the above behavior is more than fine for my particular use case. thanks again!
