Usage

Creation

To create a new app, use:

pageweaver create-app app-name

Creation Arguments

Pageweaver allows you to generate complex apps by chaining arguments e.g.

pageweaver create-app myapp --react-cli/17.0.6 --react-router --react-redux --typescript --scss

The above command will generate a new React v17.0.6 app called 'myapp' in the root folder, with SCSS, TSX, Redux and the React Router all pre-installed.

Learn more about the different creation arguments here.

Arguments and general data about a new web page or web app are stored in the projects.config.json file, which is also located in the root directory of your projects folder.

Development

To start a development server for your web app, use:

pageweaver serve-app app-name

The above command will open a port on the localhost and serve your project in the browser.

Production

Pageweaver also provides you the feature of readying a project for production/deployment (provided it is developed with a supported framework).

To build a developed web app, run:

pageweaver build-app app-name

Pageweaver will simply run the corresponding build command for the framework.

Deletion

To delete an existing project, run:

pageweaver delete-app app-name

Complete Deletion

If you want to erase every web project in every sub-directory in a folder, run:

pageweaver nuke-folder

The above command will delete all the pageweaver-generated projects in the specified folder. As with the delete-app command, it CANNOT be undone.
