In case one or more required fields aren’t informed through the specific flags, an interactive message prompts and asks for the missing information.

Usage

azion build

Optional flags

help

The --help option displays more information about the build command.

config-dir

The --config-dir option specifies the relative path to where your custom azion.json and args.json files are stored. The default value is azion.

entry

The --entry option specifies the code entrypoint for the build. The default value is ./main.js.

preset

The --preset option can be specified in case the preset needs changing during the build process, but it isn’t mandatory. The expected values are:

Html
Javascript
Typescript
Angular
Astro
Hexo
Next
React
Vue
static

skip-framework-build

The --skip-framework-build option indicates whether to bypass the framework build phase before executing azion build. This is useful when you’ve already built your framework separately and want to skip that step.

use-node-polyfills

The --use-node-polyfills option specifies whether to use node polyfills in the build process. This helps ensure compatibility when using Node.js-specific APIs in edge environments.

use-own-worker

The --use-own-worker option indicates that the constructed code inserts its own worker expression, such as addEventListener("fetch") or similar, without the need to inject a provider. This is useful when your code already handles the worker setup.
