"Where code is smithed."

Create and deploy Progressive Web Apps with one simple command.

Be sure to install the Forge with the global -g flag:

npm install the_forge -g
forge

When creating a project, you will be asked how you would like to host it. If you aren't already logged-in, you will be directed to log-in to Firebase or AWS.

After authenticating, answer the questions to select what type of PWA you'd like to create and name your new project directory.

Everything will be generated and deployed for you!

Your server and webpack files are pre-configured and ready to go but easy to modify to suit your needs as your app progresses. When you make changes you can run forge -r to redeploy.

A note about navigating directories: the Forge scans for directories in your terminal's current working directory, so be sure to run the Forge from one directory above your targeted directory when using redeploy and init flags.

Navigate to https://console.firebase.google.com and look for the Add project button ->

Before you choose AWS as your deployment method, install the elastic beanstalk command line interface with homebrew. If installing with pip, be sure to configure the command path to work as eb.

brew install awsebcli
