zely/build

You can export your backend application!

Although you didn't install dependencies or removed pages by mistake, you can start server with this feature.

This feature creates a ready-to-run javascript file like an executable (such as exe).

#Before Build

You have to update configure file (zely.config.js or zely.config.ts) and pages

import { defineConfig } from 'zely'; // [!code --]
import { defineConfig } from 'zely/config'; // [!code ++]

import { methods } from 'zely'; // [!code --]
import { methods } from 'zely/methods'; // [!code ++]
 
export default [
  methods.get({}), // [!code --]
  get({}), // [!code ++]
];

This step helps reduce the size of the output.

#Usage

Run:

$ zely export

will create dist/index.js. And check if it works well.

Add the --bundle=false option if you want to reduce the size of the output. node_modules will not be bundled.

$ zely export --bundle=false

$ node dist/index.js

Then, remove node_modules and pages!

$ rimraf node_modules
$ rimraf pages

Check again if it works.

$ node dist/index.js

#Module Mode

If you don't want the built app to start the server, add the --module option.

$ zely export --module --bundle=false

require('./dist/index.js').listen(3000);

#CLI

$ zely export -h
