Chromia CLI

📄️ Introduction

Chromia CLI simplifies the development cycle and deployment of Rell dapps, where all the needed capability is available in one CLI. It's a command-line tool that provides a way to interact with the Chromia blockchain using a set of commands.

📄️ create-rell-dapp

You can use the create-rell-dapp command (chr create-rell-dapp) to create a new Rell structured "Hello World" project. It creates a project config file (chromia.yml), a main module (main.rell) in the src/ folder, and test files in the src/test/ folder in your working directory.

📄️ test

You can use the test command (chr test) to run the tests specified in the test key in the project config file (chromia.yml).

📄️ generate-client-stubs

The generate-client-stubs command (chr generate-client-stubs) generates code that can be used to communicate with the Rell backend.

📄️ repl

You can use the repl command (chr repl) to run specific Rell methods in the shell, which can be suitable for troubleshooting.

📄️ node

You can use the node command (chr node) to start or update a node with your applications running on it.

📄️ deployment

You can use the deployment command (chr deployment) to deploy your dapp to a network.

📄️ build

The build command (chr build) creates a blockchain configuration for your dapp. By default, it gets placed in the src/build/ folder, but you can change it in the project config file (chromia.yml) in compilesource.

📄️ query

You can use the query command (chr query) to test and interact with a chain that's either local or deployed without using a client. You can set a path for the project config file (chromia.yml) or specify a different file using --settings. In addition to that, you can change between a local and deployed chain target with the --deployment and --local flags. The flag is --local by default.
