CLI

Entropy comes with an additional CLI tool that helps you to create new projects and generate files like modules and controllers.

Getting Started

To get started, install the CLI tool globally with the following commands:

      
        
        
        

        terminal
      
deno install -A -g https://deno.land/x/entropy_cli/entropy.ts

export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH"

If the installation was successful, you should be able to run the entropy [...] commands:

      
        
        
        

        terminal
      
entropy --version
# Entropy CLI version 1.0.0

Generating Files

To generate new file, run the make command followed by type and name of the file:

      
        
        
        

        terminal
      
entropy make controller post  # Creates file `src/posts/post.controller.ts`

Available file types are:

Type

Description

channel

Create a new WebSocket channel

controller

Create a new route controller

middleware

Create a new middleware class

module

Create a new app module

service

Creating New Project

To create a fresh Entropy application project, run the new command:

      
        
        
        

        terminal
      
entropy new [app-name]

Shorthand Commands

Entropy CLI also provides some shorthands for common commands for faster usage:

      
        
        
        

        terminal
      
entropy m controller chat
entropy n ecommerce-app

# same as:
entropy make controller chat
entropy new ecommerce-app

Use the --help option to get more information about the command.
Use the --exact flag to generate file with exact name and path (Entropy uses pluralization by default).
Use the --force flag to overwrite existing file.
