Developer tools

Makeapp gives you some tools to further facilitate the development process.

Bootstrap virtual environment

When you've got an app sources and want to initialize the environment to develop the app use up command (inside the directory with pyproject.toml).

ma up

Register the CLI application as a tool

If your application has a CLI (e.g. exposes project.scripts) you can register it as a tool. So that the command issued in terminal will invoke just the code you develop.

ma up -t
# or ma up --tool

Regenerate the environment

Sometimes something may go wrong with the virtual environment so that you may want to drop the old one altogether and create a new one. Use the following command: 

ma up -r
# or ma up --reset

Style code

To style/lint your code use the following command: 

ma style

Build/serve docs

Use docs command:

ma docs

Run tests

Use tests command:

ma tests
