Contributing

Relay CLI is largely built on top of Saleforce's oclif CLI framework, which provides many features common to the best CLIs, including commands, subcommands, flags, arguments, and environment variable overrides. All while producing user-facing help documentation to assist CLI users learn how to use the Relay CLI.

The best way to use the Relay CLI is to install via NPM as demonstrated in the Usage section. However, if you'd like to contribute or test a branch before it is made public, you'll need to run the Relay CLI from source. Here's how to get started:

1 - Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/relaypro/relay-cli.git
$ cd relay-cli

2 - Switch to the right branch

You can run from the default main branch. It contains the latest public, and perhaps a little more, depending on the current development lifecycle.

If you are contributing new code or seeking a fix, create a new branch:

$ git checkout -b feature/my-awesome-patch

3 - Install NPM dependencies

$ npm install

4 - Run or Build the project

When running the Relay CLI when installed from NPM, the relay entry point is set up and all commands are There are two commands that are the "entry points" into the Relay CLI. Each has a distinct purpose:

• bin/dev is slow, but accurate. Every time you execute, the entire project is rescannded and the source is compiled. On average, this command can take up to 5 seconds. This command is primarily used during development. If you are editing source code regularly and testing those changes, this is the command to use.
• bin/run is fast, but inaccurate. Meaning, bin/run utilizes metadata cached on the filesystem and pre-compiled code in order to be fast. This command, in fact, is what is used when you install via NPM and run using relay. However, it is "inaccurate" in that you must remember to execute the caching and compiling commands before using it otherwise you will see errors or outdated, precompiled code will be used.

The following development-time invocation is slow, but accurate and will always compile code.

$ bin/dev COMMAND

The following development-time invocation is fast, but inaccurate... will use cached metadata and pre-compiled code.

$ bin/run COMMAND

Before running bin/run

Before you run bin/run you will need to create the command metadata cache and pre-compile the code. This can be done with the prepack command as follows:

$ npm run prepack

It is safe to run this multiple times as you make changesas the command will overwrite the metadata cache and compiled code. No need to manually clean up the output of the prepack command.
