By default this command will save you authorization info in ~/.pumblerc file.

If you need to check in which workspace you are logged in use pumble-cli info

pumble-cli create

With pumble-cli create you will be able to generate a new app.
It will create a default app with some triggers implemented.
You will be prompted to provide some basic information such as name and description.
After this command completes you can simply cd into the newly created directory and start your app with npm run dev
After you execute npm run dev for the first time the Pumble app will be crated and installed in your logged in workspace, so you will be ready to test it. While having npm run dev running, every change you make in your project (adding removing triggers, changing manifest.json) will update your app.

pumble-cli logout

With pumble-cli logout your authorization info will be removed effectively logging you out of the session

pumble-cli info

Use pumble-cli info to check in which workspace you are logged in.

pumble-cli list

With pumble-cli list you will list of your created apps. If you are using this command in the directory of a currently connected app, the connected app will be indicated

pumble-cli connect

Use pumble-cli connect in an app project directory to configure the environment to one of your Pumble Apps You will be prompted to select an app and after selected the contents of .pumbleapprc will be replaced with the secrets of the newly connected app.

[!WARNING]
After you run with pumble-cli your connected app will be updated with the new configuration & triggers.
Use this command only to connect a previously connected app.
i.e. You are checking out from your version control, but .pumbleapprc secrets file it's not in the repository. In this case pumble-cli connect becomes useful

pumble-cli scaffold

Use this command to generate a project that mirrors one of your already configured apps.
After running this command you will be prompted to pick one of your existing projects. This will generate the template and configuration to match the Pumble app.
.pumbleapprc will match the app's secrets. And all triggers and event subscriptions will be generated with empty handlers.
You will just need to implement the handlers.

pumble-cli

Running just pumble-cli in your project root will start your app.

Installing

To install pumble-cli simply use npm install -g pumble-cli or run npx pumble-cli every time you need to run a command. If pumble-cli is installed as a devDependency in your project however, you can just use pumble-cli in you npm scripts directly, without needing to install it globally.

// package.json
{
	"scripts": {
		"dev": "pumble-cli"
	}
}

Running your app locally

To run your app locally simply run pumble-cli in your project root.
This command will make sure to sync your manifest in Pumble and watch for changes.
Since Pumble needs public endpoints to reach your app, pumble-cli will create a tunnel exposing your server port in a temporary generated public url using https://localtunnel.me/. If you want to have your own solution to expose your server publicly you can simply add --host and --port command arguments after pumble-cli

pumble-cli --host=https://myhostname.com --port=8080

[!TIP] If you don't provide --port, pumble-cli will try to find free ports in your machine and listen to that port. This means you will not have a fixed port to expose, and --port solves the issue.

After pumble-cli starts your app's server, it will detect for changes in the manifest and update your manifest in Pumble. So if you are running the command without a fixed --host, every time your run this command the manifest will be updated with the new hostname to reach your local environment.
