kfbishop / mfpx Goto Github PK

Add "commands" stanza to mfpx.json config file that devs can append custom plugins that can be read at startup and processed. Will need custom place to add these plugins such that they won't get clobbered on updates.

Maybe provide plugin management support to add/remove custom plugins and abstract storage and management of them. Just need: CommandName (ID), ModulePath / Name, functionName.

Enable showing / changing the port for any given version of mfp.

Syntax: mfpx port []

• Update port value in config
• Stop server if running
• Update port value in server config
• start server (if in BE project)

One of the few things that mfp-cli-ext did (or I hoped to make it do!) which I found very useful was to provide a command for Native projects (or indeed Hybrid ones) to open the native IDE (e.g. XCode) for the project, like Eclipse does/did. It's a convenient shortcut for a Hybrid developer at least.

Would like to port this functionality to mfpx when I get some time.

If mfpx set has not been run, this is the error shown:

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^

Would be helpful to show something more descriptive.

When running within a project (legacy or cordova), check mfpx version difference. If so stop execution. Have .mfpx.json file with version key that will automatically switch mfpx to version of project, thus preventing automatic upgrade (or downgrade fail).
