Reaction CLI
Reaction ships with all the standard Meteor commands, as documented in the Meteor Guides, along with those from Reaction's own command line interface (CLI). Here are some handy commands to use while developing on Reaction:
Reaction CLI
reaction -v
Before you get started using the Reaction CLI, it's important to make sure you're using the latest version. Use reaction -v to check what versions of Node, NPM, Meteor Node, Reaction CLI, Docker and what branch and version of Reaction you are currently running.
reaction -v
Node: 9.5.0
NPM: 5.6.0
Meteor Node: 8.9.3
Meteor NPM: 5.5.1
Reaction CLI: 0.27.0
Reaction: 1.8.0
Reaction branch: release-1.8.0
Docker: 17.12.0-ce
reaction --help
Shortcut: -h
reaction --help or -h will give you help for the reaction command.
reaction reset
Resets the Reaction database, updates npm modules, and optionally removes node_modules before updating.
This will give you a fresh test dataset from private/data.
reaction reset
To just reset the database, pass in the -n flag:
reaction reset -n
reaction test
To run the server integration tests:
reaction test
reaction plugin create <your-plugin-name>
This will create a template project in the /imports/plugin/custom directory.
Other useful commands for development
reaction --inspect
Running reaction with the --inspect flag will allow you to use Node's native server-side debugger. To learn more on how to set up the inspector, check out our debugging documentation.
npm run lint
Use npm run lint or alternatively, npx eslint . for linting your local files. This ensures you are running the same version of Reaction's ESLint.
SKIP_FIXTURES=true reaction
Run Reaction without the default sample data store and products. Read more about fixture options.
meteor mongo
Run meteor mongo from your Reaction directory to view and run commands in the MongoDB database directly.
See Meteor's documentation on meteor mongo and MongoDB's documentation on all the Mongo shell commands.
meteor shell
Start the Meteor interactive shell with meteor shell. See Meteor's documentation on meteor shell.
