• Create Application

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

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

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

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

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)

? Do you want to deploy your project? No

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

The --name option can be specified, but it isn’t mandatory. If it isn’t informed, the name of your project will be autogenerated.

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

azion build

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

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

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

The deploy command deploys your application to the Azion Edge Platform.

azion deploy

The --path option is used when it’s necessary to inform the filepath to the static application being deployed.

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

Some global options are inherited by the init, build, and deploy commands. Check them out:

-c, --config string      Sets the Azion configuration folder for the current command only, without changing persistent settings.
-d, --debug              Displays log at a debug level
-l, --log-level string   Displays log at a debug level (default "info")
-s, --silent             Silences log completely; mostly used for automation purposes
-t, --token string       Saves a given personal token locally to authorize CLI commands
-y, --yes                Answers all yes/no interactions automatically with yes
