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​

You can use Tasks in your project, for more details see the Use Tasks tutorial.
