Request: Add Command-Line Interface(CLI) as of Cordova

[mainalikishan]

Hello,

It would be great feature and lot easier to work on atom-shell, if it can have CLI as of cordova:

This is absolutely something I want to have in atom-shell, it should also handle native module building as mentioned in #793.

any updates on this?

I've gone off building something to assemble my app that uses settings from my apps package.json file. I would love if this existed already.

I've published some of the functions in this dump repo I have

• asar
• plist
• icon
• codesign

I have some unpublished stuff that puts it all together a bit, but it's unfinished and it's no CLI.

Disclaimer: I've since moved to promises / bluebird instead of caolan/async, I wouldn't use that NPM proj as it's def not stable. Just sharing that I'm interested in a FULL build process for atom shell.

IIUC the command line tool won't have subcommands similar to:

• cordova platform add/rm/ls
• cordova emulate
• cordova plugin

But it will have (let's assume that this tool is called husk):

• husk create
• husk run
• husk build (or husk dist?)
• husk help
• husk info (which produces a listing of potentially useful details, such as the version numbers of Chromium, Node.js , and husk itself)

Comments?

Hi, i am working on this sort of tool, right now it only creates a new project, and I am for any comments and contributions.

I totally forgot to mention I made something like this for a friend. https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-forge

electron-forge init
electron-forge start
electron-forge package

Hey @MarshallOfSound maybe we can work together, i think there is still a need to integrate native package building for electron on the tools.

[MarshallOfSound]

@Ikana I had windows / macOS / debian package building working locally but I haven't pushed / tested yet as I got distracted by other things (exams 😢 ).

[Ikana]

@MarshallOfSound, I could help you with the testing

As electron-forge is now the standard for this, issues related to it are probably better posted on that repo. This issue has been stale for a while, i'm going to go ahead and close it.
