Commands

Learn about the three main commands and how you will use them in the build tool.

We'll cover the following...

To build and deploy your game templates, you will mainly use three commands: nobot setup, nobot template, and nobot game. Here, have a look at the script for each of these three commands.

Setup

You will include the setup scripts: deployment.js and templates.js, which were discussed in the previous lesson, and invoke them.

const setupDeployment = require('../setup/deployment'); 
const setupTemplates = require('../setup/templates');
const setup = () => { 
  setupDeployment();
  setupTemplates();
};
module.exports = setup;

When you will run:

$ nobot setup
// running setup command

it will call both the deployment and template setup scripts, so that all of your repositories are readied for the game release process.

Template

This command is a bit more involved. You will step through each code block, starting with the imported modules.

const fse = require('fs-extra');
const { join } = require('path');
const templatesPath = require('../helpers/get-templates-path');
const deployCorePath = require('../helpers/get-deploy-core-path');
const buildTemplate = require('../helpers/build-template');
const updateTemplate = require('../helpers/update-template');
const log = require('../helpers/log');
const readlineSync = require('readline-sync');
const { SUCCESS, ERROR } = require('../constants/log-levels');
const { NO_CHOICE_MADE } = require('../constants/common');
const deployTemplate = require('../helpers/deploy-template');
