The CLI is the officially supported way to create and maintain Dojo 2 apps.

WARNING This is beta software. While we do not anticipate significant changes to the API at this stage, we may feel the need to do so. This is not yet production ready, so you should use at your own risk.

It is designed to save you time, by promoting a standardised workflow, and automating away more mundane boilerplate tasks.

Single dependency - instead of having to download and configure multiple tools such as Webpack, Intern and tslint, you can just install the cli and know that all of these tools will work together.

Make the common tasks simple - because you don't need to install and configure the individual tools yourself, you can be sure that the versions being used all work together and they they are running with sensible defaults.

Make the advanced tasks possible - you can eject to a custom setup at any time. When you eject, all the configuration and build dependencies of the included tools will be moved into your project. If you are adept at configuring these tools, then you can now do so without the cli using its defaults.

You will need node v6+.

Getting the cli

You can install from npm:

npm i @dojo/cli -g

In a terminal, run:

dojo

This should output the following:

dojo help

Usage: dojo <group> <command> [options]

Hey there, here are all the things you can do with @dojo/cli:
...

If you don't see the message above, then check that you have installed the CLI with the -g option.

You can list all your global npm dependencies by running:

npm list -g –depth=0

If you don't see @dojo/cli in the list of global dependencies, then please re-install and make sure the installation runs without errors.

The CLI has the following format:

dojo <group> [command] [options] - where [command] and [options] are optional

e.g. (group specified, no command specified)

dojo help

where help is the group, and no command is specified, will run the default help command (in this case, generic help for the cli is outputted).

e.g. (group specified, command specified)

dojo help create

where help is the group and create is the command, will run the create command in the help group (in this case, it will output help for the create command).

The CLI has the following in-built options:

dojo -h, --help - provides a list of help as detailed above.

The CLI has the following in-built groups:

dojo create - provides scaffolding for new Dojo 2 projects. dojo eject - allows users to configure and run command instead of the cli. dojo version - provides information on the versions of installed commands and the cli itself.

dojo build and dojo test are not installed by default with @dojo/cli. To use them, you must install them separately, e.g.

npm i @dojo/cli-build-webpack and npm i @dojo/cli-test-intern These two groups are not included by default to allow different versions of these groups to be installed per project.

Once you run dojo eject, the configuration and dependencies for the bundled tools are now part of your project. This action is one-way and you cannot go back to having the tools managed by the cli.

We appreciate your interest! Please see the Dojo 2 Meta Repository for the Contributing Guidelines and Style Guide.

To start working with this package, clone the repository and run npm install.

In order to build the project run grunt dev or grunt dist.

Test cases MUST be written using Intern using the Object test interface and Assert assertion interface.

90% branch coverage MUST be provided for all code submitted to this repository, as reported by istanbul’s combined coverage results for all supported platforms.

To test locally in node run:

grunt test

To test against browsers with a local selenium server run:

grunt test:local

To test against BrowserStack or Sauce Labs run:

grunt test:browserstack

or

grunt test:saucelabs
