The 8base Command Line Interface (CLI) makes it easy to generate custom functions and manage workspaces straight from the terminal.

We recommend that all developers regularly checkout the 8base Community forum for regular updates and changes being made to the 8base-cli package.

Installation

The easiest way to install 8abse-cli is to use NPM and install the package globally:

$ npm install -g 8base-cli

or, if you are using Yarn:

$ yarn global add 8base-cli

Getting Started

Before using 8base-cli, you need to authenticate yourself. You can do this one of two ways:

Launching a browser using:

$ 8base login

or, through the CLI using:

$ 8base login --email="my@email.com" --password="myP@ssw0rd"

Once successfully authenticated, an file will be updated at ~/.8baserc with a JSON payload for the authenticated session.

Further Information

For more information about commands and configuration options, please refer the 8base CLI documentation. You can also learn about the different commands from the CLI by running --help with the package itself, or a given command.

Contributing

Like most great things, the 8base CLI is a work in progress. As a consequence of that, the CLI is constantly improving. Our CLI is public and open-sourced right here on GitHub. So whenever you want to, you could:

  1. Reporting an Issue 8base uses GitHub Issue Tracking to track issues (primarily bugs and contributions of new code). If you've found a bug, this is the place to start.

  2. Fix an Issue If you've not only found a problem in the CLI but also worked out the solution, please submit a pull request!

  3. Add Features: You can help improve the 8base CLI by adding awesome features. It's honestly an open-book. If you think something is useful, others probably will too.

We'll do our best to review, respond, and merge all contributions in a timely manner!
