Discover Nuxeo CLI by Example

Discover how to bootstrap Nuxeo components or a new project using Nuxeo CLI.

Bootstrapping a New Project

Assume that you just created a new folder called my-project.

Bootstrap a Packaged New Project with an Operation and a Service

$ nuxeo bootstrap multi-module operation service package

• Operation: Requires a core module
• Service: Requires a core module
• Package: Requires a package module

Modules: Multiple modules required -> target project will be multi-module.

Folders result:

my-project
├── my-project-core
└── my-project-package

Bootstrap a Packaged New Project with an Operation, a Listener and a Polymer Application

$ nuxeo bootstrap multi-module operation listener polymer package

• Operation: Requires a core module
• Listener: Requires a core module
• Polymer: Requires a web module
• Package: Requires a package module

Modules: Multiple modules required -> target project will be multi-module.

Folders result:

my-project
├── my-project-core
├── my-project-package
└── my-project-web

Bootstrap a New Project with Only an Operation

$ nuxeo bootstrap operation

Modules: Only one module is required -> target project will be simple-module.

Folders result:

my-project

Bootstrap a New Multi-Module Project with Only an Operation

$ nuxeo bootstrap operation multi-module

Modules: Only one module is required, but multi-module is forced -> target project will be multi-module

Folders result:

my-project
└── my-project-core

Then, you'll be able to add it a package.

$ nuxeo bootstrap package

Folders result:

my-project
├── my-project-core
└── my-project-package

Bootstrapping in an Existing Project

Add an Operation in a Submodule Called my-project-service

Wrong command:

$ nuxeo bootstrap operation

Folders results:

my-project
├── my-project-core // Core module created
└── my-project-service

When you target an existing folder that does not match the default pattern <parent-folder>-core, you can override it using the --type option:

$ nuxeo bootstrap --type="service" operation

Folders results:

my-project
└── my-project-service

Add a New Nuxeo-Based Module in an Existing Multiple Modules Project

Assuming our base hierarchy is:

my-project
├── my-project-client
├── my-project-common
├── my-project-constant

If you do something like:

$ nuxeo bootstrap single-module

Folders results:

my-project
├── my-project-client
├── my-project-common
├── my-project-constant
└── my-project-core // Core module created

But in fact we target to have a my-project-server module:

$ nuxeo bootstrap --type="server" single-module

Folders results:

my-project
├── my-project-client
├── my-project-common
├── my-project-constant
└── my-project-server
