The Fission CLI commands to work with apps
Use the fission app command and its subcommands to work with apps. The main operations are registering an app, publishing an app, and displaying information about an app.
The fission app register command initializes a new app and links it to your Fission account.
You will be prompted for a build directory. The Fission CLI will publish your app from the build directory you select.
If you are using a common build directory, the Fission CLI will detect it when you run fission app register and suggest it. You accept the suggestion or enter another build directory as a relative path from the fission.yaml file.
The Fission CLI will create a fission.yaml configuration file with a list of files to ignore, a URL where your app will be viewable after it is published, and a build directory. See the Fission YAML guide for more information about the fission.yaml file.
You can also use a custom domain name for your app. See the Custom Domains guide to set up a custom domain name.
The fission app register command has advanced options:
Use the fission app publish command to publish your app to the web. Run this command from the directory that contains your app's fission.yaml configuration file.
The fission app publish command publishes your app and associates it with the URL in the fission.yaml file. After your app is published, the Fission CLI will output a success message and the URL for your app.
The fission up command is a shortcut for fission app publish.
The fission app publish command has advanced options:
You can continuously publish your app by adding the --watch option. The Fission CLI will watch your build directory and publish whenever it detects a change.
This means that as you work in your local development environment, changes are continuously streamed online as you save. Note that some development environments have different code and output options than "production", but this will allow you to quickly and easily share a live online version with other people.
Use fission app info to display the URL where your app is viewable.
