Codengine CLI

Introduction

To generate and rename controllers and views more quickly, we added a simple Command-line interface to Codengine. To enable it please make sure NodeJS is installed on your computer and permit the engine file at the framework's root directory:

 chmod 777 engine

You can always type ./engine -help to display the available commands, or ./engine -V to print your engine's version.

Generating files

To create a new controller simply use the ./engine new controller {name} command (to make it even easier you can also use ./engine new c {name}).
Your controller will contain the default Controller's template and rename the class name automatically for you.
As you might think, to create a new view use ./engine new view {name} / ./engine new v {name}.
Sometimes you need to create a controller and its own view, and for that use ./engine new stack {name} / ./engine new s {name}.

Renaming files

To rename a controller, type ./engine rename controller {oldname} {newname} / ./engine rename c {oldname} {newname}.
To rename a view, type ./engine rename view {oldname} {newname} / ./engine rename v {oldname} {newname}.
To rename a stack (controller and view), type ./engine rename stack {oldname} {newname} / ./engine rename s {oldname} {newname}.
