Cardstack CLI
The Cardstack CLI is a work-in-progress project to create a smooth quickstart experience for new developers and a straightforward way to use the Card SDK. It handles tasks like creating new Cards, starting the Hub, installing dependencies, and generating code from templates.
Under the hood, the CLI uses Embroider for the build and yargs to manage user inputs.
Using the CLI
To run the CLI:
yarn compile --watch
node ./bin/cardstack.js <command>
To see a list of commands:
yarn compile --watch
node ./bin/cardstack.js --help
Apps are served from localhost:4200
.
Contributing to the CLI
The CLI codebase uses TypeScript, so make sure you always have a compiler running while you work:
yarn compile --watch
To disable rebuilds of the Ember App as you make changes:
CARDSTACK_DEV=true node ./bin/cardstack.js start
To view the built app, follow the path printed in the console by Embroider.
WIP: Current Quickstart Example for while we're developing this
Launching hub from inside the blueprint (you need a local embroider checkout that is built (yarn compile
) and available for yarn linking):
cd packages/cardhost
yarn link @embroider/core @embroider/compat @embroider/webpack
ember s
Loading the first-card example:
cd packages/cli
node ./bin/cardstack.js load -c ./node-tests/sample-cards/first-card -d ../cardhost
