Raxx.Kit

Get started with Raxx/Ace.

$ mix archive.install hex raxx_kit
$ mix raxx.new my_app

Options

• --api: Creates a JSON API project, instead of HTML pages.

• --ecto: Adds Ecto as a dependency and configures project to use a Postgres database. If used with --docker flag, a docker-compose service with the database will get generated.

• --node-assets: Add JavaScript compilation as part of a generated project. Works with or without docker.

• --docker: Create Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml in template. This allows local development to be conducted completly in docker.

• --module: Used to name the top level module used in the generated project. Without this option the module name will be generated from path option.

  $ mix raxx.new my_app
  
  # Is equivalent to
  $ mix raxx.new my_app --module MyApp

• --no-exsync: Doesn't include exsync in the generated project. Changed files won't be rebuilt on the fly when the app is running.
