Usage

Using NPX (Recommended)

Using npx will ensure you are always using the latest version of the CLI without having to ensure your global dependencies are up to date.

npx @phase2/outline-cli COMMAND

Checking the version being used via NPX

You will want this version to match up with the latest version at npmjs .

npx @phase2/outline-cli --version

Updating Version used by NPX

Ensure cache is cleared if local environment is not looking for the latest version. Uses the clear-npx-cache package.

npx clear-npx-cache

Check the version with the cli again

npx @phase2/outline-cli --version

Global NPM Installation

npm install -g @phase2/outline-cli

If you install @phase2/outline-cli locally, rather than running the commands with npx @phase2/outline-cli, you'd preface those commands with outline COMMAND instead.

outline --version
outline help init
outline init

Scaffolds a new Outline Project

USAGE
  $ outline init [-a] [-n <value>] [-s <value>] [-p <value>] [-d <value>] [-t <value>]

FLAGS
  -a, --automated            Enable/disable interactive mode.
  -d, --description=<value>  Project description.
  -n, --name=<value>         Project name.
  -p, --packageName=<value>  Project package name.
  -s, --slug=<value>         Project slug.
  -t, --template=<value>     Project template.

DESCRIPTION
  Scaffolds a new Outline Project

EXAMPLES
  $ outline init
  $ npx @phase2/outline-cli init

Interactive

The following is the simplest method that will prompt you step by step through providing the name, slug, packageName, description, and template that will be sent to the init functionality.

npx @phase2/outline-cli init

Automated

This method enables you to scaffold a design system by a set of provided values. The required automated flag must be provided in order to "disable" the default inquirer prompts.

When providing flags to the init command, it should be assumed that ALL prompts are provided through flags, and not just one. Using the --automated flag turns off the inquirer functionality and would otherwise provide default values for all missing flags.
