Multi-command Scripts

Devon offers the ability to run commands comprised of other CLI commands. This is incredibly useful for monorepos with a lot of services.

For example, instead of running yarn app dev, yarn api dev, yarn ui dev..., you can configure all 3 as a multi-command script with Devon, enabling you to just run devon run frontends.

Configuring

In your top-level definition file (.devon.ts), you can add a scripts object. This is where all of your Scripts will be registered. They key in this object is the same key used in the devon run command.

For example, to define a command that runs all frontend dev scripts:

import type { DefinitionFile } from '@evilkiwi/devon';

export const config: DefinitionFile = {
    ...
    scripts: {
        frontends: {
            desc: 'Run all required App Frontends',
            commands: [{
                name: 'app',
                command: 'yarn',
                args: ['app', 'dev'],
            }, {
                name: 'ui',
                command: 'yarn',
                args: ['ui', 'dev'],
            }],
        },
    },
    ...
};

Using

To use the defined Scripts, call the devon run command. You can supply any number of keys to the command and it will run all relevant commands. For example, devon run api frontends runs the api and frontends Devon scripts.
