CLI & Tooling

The Hexa CLI drives project scaffolding, AOT compilation, manifest generation, and live development workflows.

What this section covers​

  • Command reference for day-to-day workflows.
  • How AOT build produces context-safe runtime artifacts.
  • How manifest patching merges user manifest safely.
  • How HMR behaves per platform and per context.
  1. Start with CLI Commands to learn command surface.
  2. Read Build Pipeline to understand AOT and validation.
  3. Read Manifest Patching to understand what Hexa overrides.
  4. Read HMR for platform-specific behavior and fallbacks.
  5. Use API Reference for built-in ports details.

Principles​

  • One command surface, multiple output contexts.
  • Context-aware generation with AOT metadata.
  • Safe defaults with explicit override boundaries.
  • Change-scoped HMR where platform supports it.
