Starting a Pear Terminal Project

Build with Pear - Episode 04: Pear Terminal Applications

Step 1. Init

First create a new project using pear init --type terminal.

mkdir chat-app
cd chat-app
pear init --yes --type terminal

This creates the base project structure.

• package.json. App configuration. Notice the pear property.

• index.js. App entrypoint.

Step 2. Verify Everything Works

Use pear run to see that it works.

pear run --dev .

A directory or link needs to be specified with pear run, here . denotes the current Project directory.

The app will now run. Note that it will keep running until you exit with ctrl + c.

That's all there is to getting a Pear Terminal project started.
