Azion CLI init, build, and deploy commands

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

Initialize

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.

Usage

Terminal window
azion init

Once you’ve run the init command, you should either accept the suggested name to your application or enter a different one:

Terminal window
(Hit enter to accept the suggested name in parenthesis) Your applications name:  (resilient_zeus)

Output:

Terminal window
Getting templates available

Then, select a template:

Terminal window
  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:

Terminal window
? Do you want to start a local development server? (y/N)
Terminal window
? 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.
