Framework7 CLI

Framework7 command line utility makes easier to create, build, run and emulate mobile Framework7 Cordova apps. Basically it is a wrapper around "cordova cli" but with some nice additions and ready to use Framework7 templates.

Install

First of all make sure you have globally installed cordova (may require "sudo"):

$ npm install -g cordova

Then install framework7-cli (may require "sudo"):

$ npm install -g framework7-cli

Creating an Framework7 App

To create Framework7 app, run:

$ f7 create myapp com.example.myapp MyApp --template [template]

Where:

• myapp - project folder
• com.example.myapp - app id (optional).
• MyApp - app title (optional). Use double quotes if you have spaces in title, e.g. "My App"
• --template [template] - specify app template (optional). The following templates are available:
  • singleview (by default)
  • tabs

Adding platform target

$ f7 platform add ios

To add Android target platform:
