Quick Setup Tutorial

Initialize a new project

Initializing a new project will download and grab CleverStack's angular-seed and node-seed seeds. After initializing the project, cleverstack-cli will automatically install any depedencies that are required through NPM and Bower.

$: clever init my-new-project

You will be asked for database credentials, this is due to the fact that we currently run grunt db after the initialization. This will soon change, and your database credentials will only be asked for when you install a module that requires it.

This will create a new directory called my-new-project with two folders: backend and frontend.

$: cd my-new-project && tree -d -L 1

.
├── backend
└── frontend

2 directories

Installing a module

When installing a module, CleverStack will automatically detect:

1. If the module exists
2. If the module is for the frontend or the backend based on it's package.json's keywords.

The command is:

$: clever install <modules>

For a list of modules, visit CleverStack's module page

$: clever install clever-background-tasks

This will install clever-background-tasks within the backend/modules folder.

Removing a module

When removing a module, CleverStack will:

1. Check to see which directory that you're in. If it detects both a backend and a frontend directory then it'll try to remove the module from both seeds.
2. Remain quiet / do nothing if the module does not exist within the module folders (unless there's absolutely nothing to remove).

$: clever remove clever-background-tasks

Running tests

Aliases tests

To ensure that everything is working correctly, you can run tests with:

$: clever test unit

CleverStack will run grunt test within each seed.

Running the server

Aliases: serve

$: clever server

Quick Tutorial for Building a New Module

There are three commands to be aware of when building a module:

1. generate (or g)
2. scaffold (or s)
3. new

generate

Generate will create a template of a specific component (controller, services, model, tasks, or tests) within module's name that's residing in your current working directory.

$: tree -d -L 1

.

0 directories

$: clever g model my-new-model

$: tree . -d -L 1

.
└── my-new-model

1 directory

$: cd my-new-model && tree . -L 1

.
└── models

1 directory, 0 files

$: tree ./models

./models
└── MyNewModelModel.js

2 directories, 2 files

scaffold

Scaffolding is similar to generate except it'll generate every component's template for you.

Note: These files will be generated within your current working directory.

$: tree -d -L 1

.

0 directories

$: clever s my-new-module

$: tree . -d -L 1

.
└── my-new-module

$: tree ./my-new-module -L 3

./my-new-module

    │   └── MyNewModuleTest.js
    └── unit
        └── MyNewModuleTest.js

11 directories, 9 files

new

The new command is similar to scaffold except it'll create the module within the application's module folder.

$: tree ./modules -d -L 1

./modules
└── my-new-module

1 directory

$: tree ./modules/my-new-module -L 3

./modules/my-new-module
