Create an application #13
Description
Activity
Yes @Sveinki10 ! We'd like to support instantiating a front-end app from the command line for easy quickstart!
This is not planned for our GA release, but for a follow-up release
Great question! 😄
Reacted by AliCreating indices would also be helpful 😄
Aha - perfect, thanks!
If you add objects to a non-existing index, it'll be created, just like when using the API or API clients. For example:
algolia objects import <new_index> --file records.ndjsonThis would be useful to have stated in the documentation. If it is there...it isn't obvious.
To me, creating indexes would be a primary use case so it would be great to have that "pop out" in the documentation. Heck, even having an alias for
algolia indices create ...to actually runalgolia objects import ...would be huge in terms of discoverability.In fact, doing:
algolia -P my-project indices config import new-index-name -F config.json --scope settings -ywill also create the index
new-index-name.Oh, and +1 for the ability to create applications.
I'm sure this will involve a decent amount of development in order to authenticate to the Algolia account which is a lot more than simply having some API keys for an existing application, but it would be a fantastic utility to streamline/automate the creation of new instances of applications. Having to do manual steps dramatically slows things down and increases risk of human error.
Is it on the roadmap for this project to make a command to create an Algolia application from the CLI?
