Pattern Lab Node CLI
Command-line interface (CLI) for the patternlab-node core.
Installation
Note: Global installs are currently not supported and will be fixed when the Pattern Lab core hits v3.0.0
Via NPM
npm install @pattern-lab/cli --save-dev
Via Yarn
yarn add @pattern-lab/cli --dev
Configuring Your Project to Use the CLI
If the CLI is installed globally, you may call commands directly, such as patternlab --version
.
If the CLI is not installed globally, you need to tell npm
where to find the executable when invoking commands.
Open package.json
and add the following to your scripts
object:
"scripts": {
+ "patternlab": "patternlab"
},
This tells npm
to look in the local node_modules/.bin
directory for the patternlab
CLI.
Subcommands and options can then be forwarded to the CLI like this:
npm run patternlab -- serve
Installing edition-node
will add the following CLI commands for convenience:
"scripts": {
+ "pl:build": "patternlab build --config ./patternlab-config.json",
+ "pl:help": "patternlab --help",
+ "pl:install": "patternlab install --config ./patternlab-config.json",
+ "pl:serve": "patternlab serve --config ./patternlab-config.json",
+ "pl:version": "patternlab --version"
},
Then you can invoke any of these like this:
npm run pl:serve
