Apostrophe CLI

⚠️ NOTE: apostrophe-cli is a deprecated version of the ApostropheCMS command line tool. Please use @apostrophecms/cli instead. ⚠️

The Apostrophe CLI is a cross-platform starting point for creating and configuring ApostropheCMS projects, providing a simple boilerplate generator and wrapping other useful functions into an easy to use command line tool.

Requires Node.js 8+

First, install apostrophe-cli as a global NPM module:

npm install -g apostrophe-cli

To view the available commands in a given context, execute the newly-installed command with no arguments:

apos

Note: All Apostrophe CLI commands can also be run with apostrophe, the legacy command, in addition to apos.

Create a project

To create a new project with the tool:

apos create-project <shortname-without-spaces>

This will create a local copy of our standard Apostrophe Boilerplate.

options

Run create-project with a --boilerplate flag to start from a Github repository other than the standard apostrophe-boilerplate repo. For example, apos create-project <shortname-without-spaces> --boilerplate=https://github.com/apostrophecms/apostrophe-open-museum.git would create a project using the Open Museum demo.

If you run the create-project command with the --setup flag, the command will also npm install the dependencies for the project and run apostrophe-users:add to create an admin user for the CMS, resulting in a fully bootstrapped project. This command will prompt you for a password for the admin user being created.

Create a widget

To bootstrap the necessary files and basic configuration for a new Apostrophe widget, run the following command from within your Apostrophe project's root directory:

# "-widgets" will automatically be appended to the end of your module name
apos create-widget fancy-button

Note: You will then need to register this widget module in app.js so it is available in your project code. The same is true for the commands below when you create a piece module or generic module.

// app.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  'fancy-button-widgets': {},
  // ...
}

Create a piece

To bootstrap the necessary files and basic configuration for a new Apostrophe piece type, run the following command from within your Apostrophe project's root directory:

# be sure to use the SINGULAR version of the name of your content type
apos create-piece vegetable

Then remember to register 'vegetables': {} in apps.js above.

If you run the create-piece command with the --pages flag, the command will also set up a corresponding pieces-pages module with your new piece type. Similarly, you can run the create-piece command with the --widgets flag, which will also set up a corresponding pieces-widgets module along with your new piece type. These flags can be used together or separately.

apos create-piece vegetable --pages --widgets

Create an empty Apostrophe module

To bootstrap the necessary files and basic configuration for a brand-new Apostrophe module that doesn't extend one of the usual suspects like pieces or widgets:

apos create-module <module name>

Remember to register the module in apps.js with the other module types.

Run other Apostrophe-flavored command-line tasks

To run an Apostrophe command-line task with the Apostrophe CLI, which are conventionally run like this: node app.js <namespace>:<task name>, you may instead execute the following from any location within a project's directory:

apos <namespace>:<task name>

The Apostrophe CLI assumes the apostrophe namespace when executing tasks. This means that if a task is in the apostrophe namespace (such as the apostrophe:generation task), you can simply execute:

apos <task name>
