Commands

commanddescription
$ livestorm createGenerate a new plugin. The command will allow you to configure your newly created plugin.

Most of the configuration keys you set during the configuration will be set into the livestorm.config.js file which you can edit later on.

This command will ask you for an API token which you can obtain following this guide.
$ livestorm publish <environment?>Publish your plugin to the given environment name.
The environment you provide references the name of an environment defined in the livestorm.config.js file.

If you provide an environment, the command will look for it in the livestorm.config.js environments section or in the local environments.

Follow this guide dedicated to managing environments for more information.
$ livestorm watch <environment?>Republish your plugin to the given environment every time you make a change in your code.

Since your plugin will be updated regularly we do not recommend watching production environments.

$ livestorm asset <file|directory>Upload a file or directory and return a URL that can be used in your code.

The URL is persisted and can be used as a long-term storage mean.
The size limit of a single file is 8MB.
