Use a Stackfile
What is a Stackfile?
Stackfile has a basic structure for you to use because it already has predefined Template specifications and a set of Plugins that you apply only when using the stk create app
command. This means you can create projects that already have Plugins using this single command.
Prerequisites
To use a Stackfile, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Check available Stackfiles
Check the available Stackfiles in the Stack you imported. Run the command:
stk list stackfile
Step 2. Use the Stackfile
Choose the Stackfile you want to use and execute the command:
stk create app <PROJECT-NAME> -S <STACK-NAME/STACKFILE-NAME>
Step 3. Confirm your project's creation
Run the command below to check if your project was created:
cd <PROJECT-NAME>
You can see the contents of the project folder you just created.
- Optional: if you want to see the hierarchy of folders and files, run the command below:
tree -a
Next Steps
