  <h1>📦✨ Dioxus CLI</h1>
  <p><strong>Tooling to supercharge Dioxus projects</strong></p>
</div>

The **dioxus-cli** (inspired by wasm-pack and webpack) is a tool for getting Dioxus projects up and running.
It handles all building, bundling, development and publishing to simplify development.

## Installation

### Install the stable version (recommended)

```
cargo install dioxus-cli
```

### Install the latest development build through git

To get the latest bug fixes and features, you can install the development version from git.
However, this is not fully tested.
That means you're probably going to have more bugs despite having the latest bug fixes.

```
cargo install --git https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus dioxus-cli
```

This will download the CLI from the master branch,
and install it in Cargo's global binary directory (`~/.cargo/bin/` by default).

### Install from local folder
```
cargo install --path . --debug
```

## Get started

Use `dx create project-name` to initialize a new Dioxus project.
It will be cloned from the [dioxus-template](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus-template) repository.

Alternatively, you can specify the template path:

```
dx create hello --template gh:dioxuslabs/dioxus-template
```

Run `dx --help` for a list of all the available commands.
Furthermore, you can run `dx <command> --help` to get help with a specific command.

## Dioxus config file

You can use the `Dioxus.toml` file for further configuration.
Some fields are mandatory, but the CLI tool will tell you which ones are missing.
You can create a `Dioxus.toml` with all fields already set using `dx config init project-name`,
or you can use this bare-bones template (only mandatory fields) to get started:
```toml
[application]
name = "project-name"
# Currently supported platforms: web, desktop
default_platform = "web"

[web.app]
title = "Hello"

[web.watcher]

[web.resource.dev]
```

The full anatomy of `Dioxus.toml` is shown on the [Dioxus website](https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.4/CLI/configure).
