hlambda-cli

hlambda-cli - CLI tool for managing Hlambda server.

🧰 Install Hlambda CLI

$ npm install -g hlambda-cli

This will add Hlambda CLI to your arsenal, now you can use hl, hla or hlambda.

📚 Using Hlambda CLI

Check if the console is installed globally, in your terminal you can now run

$ hl

You can get the snippet for running Hlambda docker image directly from the CLI

$ hl snippets docker

Example output:

docker run -d -p 8081:1331 --env HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET=demo --name hlambda-server --restart=always -v hlambda_metadata:/usr/src/app/metadata hlambda/hlambda-core:latest

You can even run it directly via additional flag --run

$ hl snip docker --run

🧙🏻‍♂️ Quich start

Initialize new configuration in the new folder test

$ hl i test

change working directory to test

$ cd test

Change the admin_secret in the config.yaml manually or just run

$ hlambda config save --admin-secret "demo"

this will edit the config.yaml file and save admin secret value in that file (🧨 please take extra care when commiting config.yaml file to not leak secrets , check Environments section for more details but we suggest you to use env replacer syntax like {{ENV_HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET}} and keeping your secrets in the environemnt variables)

You can then export the existing metadata from the running server use

$ hlambda metadata export

or you can apply the changes by running

$ hlambda metadata apply

or run the hlambda metadata apply with option --admin-secret <your_secret> which is a prefered option to do this action instead of saving secret it in config.yaml

$ hlambda metadata apply --admin-secret <your_secret>

to export existing data from the hlambda server run

$ hlambda metadata export --admin-secret <your_secret>

Reloading metadata

By default metadata apply should also automatically reload the metadata on the server unless --no-auto-reload option is set

$ hlambda metadata apply --no-auto-reload

to do it manually you can run:

$ hlambda metadata reload

Clearing metadata

If you want to clear all the metadata from the server

$ hlambda metadata clear

📦 Environments

If you have multiple deployments of the same app you can now add environments to your hlambda config using hlambda-cli

To add dev environment use

$ hl env add dev

this will add new dev folder environment in ./environments/dev with config.yaml

example content of the ./environments/dev/config.yaml

version: 1
endpoint: "{{ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ENDPOINT}}"
admin_secret: "{{ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET}}"

this will be used instead of the values in root config.yaml file.

🧨 Important! - You can hardcode but it is the best practice to use env replacer syntax {{ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET}} the value will be the one provided in the ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET environment variable at the CLI command run-time.

✨ Hlambda cli also supports .env file 😄 so you can create .env file in the root

ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:8081"
ENV_DEV_HLAMBDA_ADMIN_SECRET="demo"

Any hlambda CLI command can now be excuted for different environment, example

$ hl server logs --env dev

$ hl metadata apply --env dev

to add custom_name environemnt use

$ hl env add custom_name

to delete environment named "staging"

$ hl env delete staging

this will remove the whole environment folder.
