## Getting Started
Before you can use the CLI, you need to login to your Appwrite account.
```sh
$ appwrite login
? Enter your email test@test.com
? Enter your password ********
✓ Success
```
This will also prompt you to enter your appwrite endpoint ( default: http://localhost/v1 )
* ### Initialising your project
Once logged in, the CLI needs to be initialised before you can use it with your Appwrite project. You can do this with the `appwrite init project` command.
```sh
$ appwrite init project
```
The following prompt will guide you through the setup process. The `init` command also creates an `appwrite.json` file representing your Appwrite project.
The `appwrite.json` file does a lot of things.
* Provides context to the CLI
* Keeps track of all your cloud functions
* Keeps track of all your project's collections
* Helps you deploy your Appwrite project to production and more..
You can also fetch all the collections in your current project using
```sh
appwrite init collection
```
The CLI also comes with a convenient `--all` flag to perform both these steps at once using
```sh
appwrite init --all
```
* ### Creating and deploying cloud functions
The CLI makes it extremely easy to create and deploy Appwrite's cloud functions. Initialise your new function using
```
$ appwrite init function
? What would you like to name your function? My Awesome Function
? What runtime would you like to use? Node.js (node-15.5)
✓ Success
```
This will create a new function `My Awesome Function` in your current Appwrite project and also create a template function for you to get started.
```sh
$ tree My\ Awesome\ Function
My Awesome Function
├── README.md
├── index.js
├── package-lock.json
└── package.json
0 directories, 4 files
```
You can now deploy this function using
```sh
$ appwrite deploy function
? Which functions would you like to deploy? My Awesome Function (61d1a4c81dfcd95bc834)
Info Deploying function My Awesome Function ( 61d1a4c81dfcd95bc834 )
? Enter the entrypoint command node index.js
✓ Success Deployed My Awesome Function ( 61d1a4c81dfcd95bc834 )
```
Your function is now ready to be executed on your Appwrite server!
* ### Deploying Collections
Similarly, you can deploy all your collections to your Appwrite server using
```sh
appwrite deploy collections
```
The `deploy` command also comes with a convenient `--all` flag to deploy all your functions and collections at once.
```sh
appwrite deploy --all
```
> ### Note
> By default, requests to domains with self signed SSL certificates (or no certificates) are disabled. If you trust the domain, you can bypass the certificate validation using
```sh
$ appwrite client --selfSigned true
```
## Usage
The Appwrite CLI follows the following general syntax.
```sh
$ appwrite [COMMAND] --[OPTIONS]
```
A few sample commands to get you started
```sh
$ appwrite users create --userId "unique()" --email hello@appwrite.io --password very_strong_password
$ appwrite users list
```
To create a document you can use the following command
```sh
$ appwrite database createDocument --collectionId <ID> --documentId 'unique()' --data '{ "Name": "Iron Man" }' --read role:all team:abc
```
### Some Gotchas
- `data` must be a valid JSON string where each key and value are enclosed in double quotes `"` like the example above.
- Some arguments like the `read` and `write` permissions are expected to be arrays. In the Appwrite CLI, array values are passed in using space as a separator like in the example above.
To get information about the different services available, you can use
```sh
$ appwrite -h
```
To get information about a particular service and the commands available in a service you can use
```sh
$ appwrite users // or
$ apwrite users --help // or
$ appwrite users help // or
$ appwrite accounts
```
To get information about a particular command and the parameters it accepts, you can use
```sh
$ appwrite users list --help
$ appwrite account get --help
```
At any point, you can view or reset the CLI configuration using the `client` service.
```
$ appwrite client --debug
// This will display your endpoint, projectID, API key and so on.
$ appwrite client --reset
```
## CI mode
The Appwrite CLI can also work in a CI environment. The initialisation of the CLI works a bit differently in CI. In CI, you set your `endpoint`, `projectId` and `API Key` using
```sh
appwrite client --endpoint http://localhost/v1 --projectId <PROJECT_ID> --key <API KEY>
```
