|
|
This is the Embark CLI command reference.
|
|
|
|
## new
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark new dappName
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Creates a new empty DApp project. If no `dappName` is provided, Embark will ask for the dappName.
|
|
|
|
Option | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`--contracts-only` | create a barebones project meant only for contract development
|
|
`--simple` | an alias for `--contracts-only`
|
|
`--template` | download a template using a known name or a git host URL
|
|
|
|
The `--template` option supports several URL styles and shortcuts for git hosts:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git@github.com:ghuser/repo_name
|
|
https://github.com/ghuser/repo_name
|
|
github:ghuser/repo_name
|
|
ghuser/repo_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's possible to append a branch name to any of the above, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://github.com/ghuser/repo_name#branch_name
|
|
ghuser/repo_name#branch_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Bitbucket and GitLab URLs and shortcuts are also supported, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bitbucket:bbuser/repo_name#branch_name
|
|
gitlab:gluser/repo_name#branch_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A short name can be used for templates maintained in the Embark GitHub organization, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark new --template typescript
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please see our list of [officially supported templates](/templates/).

|
|
|
|
## build
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark build [environment]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deploys and Builds the DApp at dist/. If no `environment` is provider embark will use `development` by default.
|
|
|
|
## run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark run [environment]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deploys and Builds the DApp at `dist/`. By default will launch a dashboard and start a dev server at `http://localhost:8000/`. If no `environment` is provider embark will use `development` by default.
|
|
|
|
Option | Description
|
|
--- | ---
|
|
`-p`, `--port` | `port` to run the dev webserver (default: 8000)

|
## eject-build-config
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark eject-build-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copies Embark's default `webpack.config.js` file into your DApp so that you can customize it. If a file named `webpack.config.js` is present in your top-level DApp directory, Embark will use your webpack config file instead of its own.
|
|
|
|
## blockchain
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ embark blockchain [environment]
|
|
```

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you want, you can skip the step of running `embark blockchain`, as `embark run`, `build` and `upload` now all start a blockchain node in a separate process if there is not one already started using the same configurations.

|
```
|
