:ant: A Command Line Interface for the Bridge Compiler

Bridge CLI

A Command Line Interface for the Bridge.NET compiler.

Usage

bridge [commands] [options]
bridge [options] (<name>|<path>|<list>)
bridge [-h|--help]

The following steps outline the commands for creating a new C# project using the Bridge CLI, then opening the project in Visual Studio Code, and then running your app in a web browser. Here's what we'll do:

1. Create a new folder called Demo1 (rename to whatever you want)
2. Move the command prompt into the folder
3. Create a new Bridge project using the default project template
4. Open the project in Visual Studio Code
5. Build (compile) the project
6. Run the app in your default web browser

Bridge CLI and Visual Studio Code must have already been installed for this sample to work. We use Visual Studio Code in this sample, but you can substitue for your editor of choice.

Example (Windows Command Prompt)

md Demo1                // Create a new folder
cd Demo1                // Move into the folder
bridge new              // Create a new project
code .                  // Open in Visual Studio Code
bridge build            // Build the project, or
bridge run              // Build and Run the index.html

Example (Mac Terminal)

mkdir Demo1             // Create a new folder
cd Demo1                // Move into the folder
bridge new              // Create a new project
code .                  // Open in Visual Studio Code
bridge build            // Build the project, or
bridge run              // Build and Run the index.html

After successfully building your project, you should see a new /dist folder in your project root. These are the Bridge generated files, including your index.html file which can be opened in a browser, or just use the bridge run command from the Windows Command line or Mac Terminal.

PRO TIP: If you're using Visual Studio Code, after opening the project you can use Ctrl + Shift + B to build your project without leaving VS Code.
