Everest Dev CLI

This CLI tool helps start new projects faster with prebuilt and preconfigured architectures, bundled with reusable components and utilities.

Installation

Install the CLI tool globally using npm:

npm install -g @eve-tools/cli

If you encounter permission issues, try using sudo:

sudo npm install -g @eve-tools/cli

Verification

Verify the installation by running the base command, which displays the help information:

eve

Usage

Display Help

Shows all available commands and options.

eve --help

or simply:

eve

Initialize a New Project (init)

This command scaffolds a new project. You can either follow the interactive prompts or provide flags for a quicker setup.

Interactive Mode:

Starts a series of prompts to configure your project (name, type, architecture, language, framework).

eve init

You can also specify the project name directly, and it will still use interactive prompts for the rest:

eve init my-awesome-project

If you want to initialize in the current directory, use .:

eve init .

Using Flags (Shortcut):

Bypass interactive prompts by providing flags. If flags are used, the CLI validates the combination based on available templates.

Available Flags:

• -t, --type <type>: Project type (frontend or backend/b). Defaults to frontend.
• -a, --arch <architecture>: Project architecture. Defaults to application for frontend, crud for backend.
  • Frontend currently supports: application
  • Backend currently supports: crud
• -l, --lang <language>: Programming language. Defaults to ts for frontend, node for backend.
  • Frontend currently supports: ts
  • Backend currently supports: node
• -f, --framework <framework>: Project framework. Defaults to next for frontend, nestjs for backend.
  • Frontend currently supports: next
  • Backend currently supports: nestjs

Examples with Flags:

• Initialize a default Frontend project (Application, TypeScript, Next.js) named my-frontend-app:

  eve init my-frontend-app

  (Note: Since frontend is the default, no -t flag is needed)

• Initialize a default Backend project (CRUD, Node.js, NestJS) named my-backend-api:

  eve init my-backend-api -t backend

  or using the short flag:

  eve init my-backend-api -t b

• Initialize a default Frontend project in the current directory:

  eve init .

• Explicitly define a Frontend project:

  eve init my-next-project -t frontend -a application -l ts -f next

• Explicitly define a Backend project:

  eve init my-nest-project -t backend -a crud -l node -f nestjs

Using npx:

You can also run the init command without global installation using npx:

npx @eve-tools/cli init [name] [options]

Example:

npx @eve-tools/cli init my-temp-project -t backend

Upgrade CLI (upgrade)

Checks for the latest version of @eve-tools/cli and upgrades if a newer version is available.

eve upgrade

Check for Updates (check-update)

Manually checks if a newer version of the CLI is available without performing the upgrade.

eve check-update

More Features (In Progress)

• Add Command: Generate components, services, modules, etc., based on the project's architecture.
• UI Component Library: Predefined UI components for frontend development.

We'll add more features as we go!
