RFC: Flarum CLI Alpha

askvortsov You can ignore nested vendor folders as needed in Jetbrains products. It requires a bit of configuration though and can sometimes be annoying. I unfortunately don't think that there is a way to automatically ignore them with something like a .ignore file though.

hi guys, can i have a step by step guide to create a basic structure for an extension?
i need this to make some practice on a local install

askvortsov

Justoverclock This is planned, I'm hoping to have it before the stable release.

khanhlee

askvortsov waiting for your stable release
Thanks

Maybe we can also create a docker dev container at init time.

Building a suitable environment for Flarum development is not a bad time to go from zero to one. It may not be a problem for developers who have already used Flarum (or they already have one), but it is still a bit of a pain for PHP developers who are new to it but want to do something with it. Having a common environment also allows developers to better help each other.

Cli is made to simplify the hassle, so why don't we try to simplify development even more? This is just my little idea.

Justoverclock

what about npm install (recommended)? if i choose "no", flarum-cli actually run the install

askvortsov

Justoverclock Ah, that's not ideal. Clark has also reported this. We'll get this fixed.

It sounds like it will be a great tool, however I can imagine many more uses for it than "just" as a way to get started with building an extension. I think the command init should be changed to something more specific like extension:init

bgies . I think the command init should be changed to something more specific like extension:init

We'll probably do something like that, so that it can also be used to generate language packs, and possibly other starting states.

Suggestions are always appreciated!

this tool is perfect imho...

what is really needed is documentation with multiple examples to allow inexperienced developers to contribute to Flarum without stressing real developers 😆

Justoverclock It's on my TODO this week

You might need to install typescript globally: npm i -g typescript.

Try using yarn instead, and do yarn global add flarum-cli.

error Couldn't find the binary git

Then you need to install git.
