Stience is a web development and maintenance CLI created for developers to better focus on their project, not the setup.

Stience is a containerized package and dependecy manager. Stience was created to assist developers with maintaining and optimizing their local development environment. Stience CLI currently uses a Docker approach, offering a custom Docker container for node_modules and your app. The architecture is simple. The CLI currently offers two seperate parent commands, install and dock. The install command works just like npm or yarn, it installs packages based on the package.json file and then populates the node_modules directory. The dock command builds a Docker container, hosting the node_modules in a container.

You can choose which Dockerfile to download using the stience.json file.

Usage

NOTE: All versions before v0.0.7 will not work.

Install the CLI tool globally:

npm install stience@latest -g

Commands

Install

Depending on how you have your PATH configured, you can run Stience by using npx or directly:

stience install <PackageName>

If you already have a package.json file present, you can run install command like normal:

stience install

NOTE: The CLI automatically attempts to locate the package.json in the current working directory

Dock

You can pull down a preconfigured Dockerfile using the following command:

stience dock create

If you need to build the Docker container:

stience dock build
