Version: v2.0

Starting with Godspeed's Node.js framework.

In this section, you will learn how to install the Godspeed framework using the command line interface (CLI) and how to either create a new project with the framework or integrate Godspeed into an existing project in NodeJS.

We are coming with Godspeed Framework in Java as well. Where Developer's will be able to write events and workflows in same way as NodeJS, while for scripting tasks groovy can be used.

Pre-requisites:​

  1. Node 18 and npm
  2. Git
  3. VS Code or any code editor

Demonstration​

Installation​

Godspeed CLI is the command center of a Godspeed project. It allows you to create & manage your Godspeed project. It is shipped via npm. You can go ahead and install it using the below command.

   npm install -g @godspeedsystems/godspeed

Install VSCode Plugin​

Please refer to this page to install Godspeed's VSCode plugin which will assist you with development.

Creating your project​

You can create a blank project like this.

  godspeed create <project_name>

You can create a project with pre-made examples as well. Check Hello World and Blog projects.

Building and running your project​

You can build your project using the godspeed build command, and clean using godspeed clean. You can start your server on localhost or production machine using godspeed serve. It will run in autowatch mode over your local file changes.

Try running in the below command line to see available Godspeed commands. Refer the full CLI spec for more information.
