Create Skill App

The easiest way to spin up a new Skill App is by using create-skill-app. This CLI tool enables you to quickly start building a new Partner Product application, with everything set up for you.

Setup

First of all you'll need to clone and install skillrecordings/products project from GitHub.

Clone

git clone https://github.com/skillrecordings/products.git

Install

You'll need PNPM installed.

npm i pnpm@latest -g

Install all dependencies (all apps and packages) and build all apps and packages

pnpm install
pnpm build

This will build (and cache) the library packages and applications.

cd apps/{{appname}} && pnpm dev

cd packages/{{packagename}} && pnpm dev

Link

The latest package version isn't published to NPM and we suggest using npm link to run the create-skill-app command from anywhere.

cd packages/create-skill-app && npm link

Once that is done, you can technically run create-skill-app from anywhere on your machine if you fully-qualify the path, but you're better off running it from ./apps/.

Create Skill App

To get started, use the following command and replace APPLICATION_NAME with the kebab-case name of the partner product. ex. total-typescript

# From apps/
create-skill-app APPLICATION_NAME

# From the root...
create-skill-app apps/APPLICATION_NAME

The command will ask a series of questions defined here that fill in the details in the templates.

Once done, you can run pnpm dev from within the directory you've created to start development server.
