Getting Started

Follow these steps to quickly set up and start working on your new Flutter project using the Eli CLI.

1. Activate eli Tool

To activate eli, you must first gain access to the pub repository on Gitea. Please reach out Admin for getting access token.

To get started, activate the eli by running the following command:

dart pub global activate eli -u https://gitea.whitelabel.mobile.embedit.dev/api/packages/platform/pub/

2. Create a New Empty App

Next, create an empty app using the eli:

eli create app

When prompted, provide answers to the setup questions based on your specific needs.

This guide will proceed using those responses:

What is the name of the project? (my_app) my_app
The organization name (com.embedit) com.embedit
The application id on Android, Bundle ID on iOS ... omitted
Short project description (App generated by EIT) App generated by EIT
The output directory? (.) .
Is this an Azure project? (Y/n) No

3. Navigate to the New App Directory

Change your working directory to the newly created app:

cd my_app

4. Bootstrap the App

Initialize and configure the project by bootstrapping it:

eli project bootstrap

If everything is correct, the eli will display all green checkmarks.

5. Run the App in VSCode

Open the project in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and run the app to ensure everything is set up correctly.

eli configures VS Code's launch.json, so you can simply run the app using the green play button.

Conclusion

You have now successfully set up your project. Continue developing your app by adding features and customizing it to your needs!
