NPM Scripts
Dynamics Mobile apps come with predefined NPM scripts - they are defined in package.json. The scripts allow the developer to use simple command to perform frequent tasks during the development process.
Script | Command line | Description |
build | npm run build | Runs the build process of the app. Used to build/debug the app. Hitting F5/Ctr+Shift+F5 in Visual Studio Code executes the same script. |
genbo | npm run genbo | Generates Typescript definitions from the business object json definition files. Do not use it directly. |
genmap | npm run genmap | Generates and opens html document with human readable description of the business objects in the current app |
start | npm run start | Starts local development web server on accessible via http://localhost:3001. Must be executed once, before starting the development process. |
release | npm run release | Builds the application in release mode, which compresses the outputted code as well as runs a deep code check to catch any issues. Might capture more errors than the npm run build command. Can be used to check your code before publishing. |
directpublish | npm run directpublish pushtoall | Compiles the code in release mode and deploys the app in the current application area, making it available to everyone. Use it to publish the app to production. |
test | npm run test | Runs unit tests by utilizing jest. NOTE: You need to manually setup jest for your project, before using this command. |
i18n | npm run i18n | Exports or imports translation resources to/from CSV files |
The developer can add more scripts in package.json to use during his daily routines.
