Command-line interface

This are all the commands you need to interact with the Gracile engine locally.

Commands

Gracile just re-use the Vite typical commands as such:

node --run dev
vite

node --run build
vite build

node --run preview
vite preview

You can alias these in package.json scripts, see the manual installation guide.

See also the “Create” command (npm create gracile) for bootstrapping a project in under a minute.
