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

See the commands that enable the initialization, build, and deployment of applications on the Azion Web Platform.

Initialize

The init command offers an interactive journey. Through this command, it’s possible to:

  • Initialize
  • Build
  • Have a local server running
  • Deploy applications

When you run azion, it works as an alias to the init command. Then, the same journey is expected.

The initialization process creates the necessary environment for building your application.

Usage

azion init

Once you’ve run the init command, you should either accept the suggested name to your application or enter a different one:

(Hit enter to accept the suggested name in parenthesis) Your applications name: (resilient_zeus)

Output:

Getting templates available

Then, select a template:

Choose a template for your project: (Use arrow keys)
❯ Angular
Astro
Hexo
Next
React
Vue
Vite

Now, the application will be initialized. Different processes occur based on the selected template, so you need to answer the interactions that are presented.

Choose if you want to run the application locally or not:

? Do you want to start a local development server? (y/N)

If you want to start a local development server later, run ‘azion dev’

? Do you want to deploy your project? No

If you want to deploy your application later, run ‘azion deploy’

It’s necessary to be inside the project’s folder to run the dev, build, and deploy commands.
