CLI for creating and building electric sites.

electric-cli's Issues

el dev is broken

After creating a new project using generator I've run the el dev and the following errors have occurred.

Error in plugin 'sass'

Make it possible to run with a different port

change the branch name to `docs`,get `'deploy:gh' errored

i found setting way to change github branch, edit electric.config.js,add deployOptions: { branch: 'gh-pages' }, it successed，but i change the branch name to docs，i get 'deploy:gh' errored after 691 ms

[13:01:29] 'deploy:gh' errored after 691 ms

Cannot init new project: Promise rejection

Following the installation instructions on the website, I get the following when attempting a electric init:

(node:3292) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 3): Error: `email` required

The process hangs, and must be terminated (SIGINT/SIGKILL).

Prevent tasks from running if electric.config.js file is not found

Nowadays, if you type electric run on a folder that doesn't contain the electric.config.js file you get an error.

Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/zeno/Projects/wedeploy.com/src/site.json'

We could do something like gulp and display something message to the user:

➜  wedeploy.com (master) ✗ gulp
[13:18:47] Local gulp not found in ~/Projects/wedeploy.com
[13:18:47] Try running: npm install gulp

An alias would be fine

I think electric is a long word to type into the terminal. We can often forget a letter and it will be frustrating to retype it again. Could we create an alias like el, elec?

Include update-notifier

https://www.npmjs.com/package/update-notifier

Suggestion - Generate files from command line

Angular 2 CLI has a feature that it might be helpful for electric-cli. It provides a way to generate files from command line. For example:

• ng g component - Generates all configurations and files to get a component running.
• ng g directive - Generates all configurations and files to get a directive running.

We can create tasks like:

• electric g layout;
• electric g doc-page;
• electric g blog-page;

Suggestion - Be able to see version of package

When I query electric with help I currently see:

nolanchan ~ $ electric --help
Commands:
  build   Builds site and places files in dist.
  deploy  Builds site and and deploys dist files to git branch.
  init    Initializes a new electric project.
  run     Builds site, and starts up watch task along with development server.
  server  Starts development server for local testing.
  watch   Watches for changes to src files.

Options:
  --help  Show help

However, there is no option to see the current version of electric-cli. Having something like npm's version command would be great

nolanchan ~ $ npm -v
3.10.8

Update:
There also seems to be some mismatch between the version name on npmjs.com and the actual version pulled down. npmjs.com claims that 2.0.0-alpha.0 is the most up to date version, but the version that was downloaded today was 2.0.0-alpha.3
