Azure Static Site CLI

WARNING: This is a proof of concept and isn't meant to be used in a production environment.

Goal

The goal of this is CLI is to provide a scenario-focused application that helps developers provision, and deploy a static site on Azure.

Usage

Once the initial release is completed, the goal is to have a minimal set of commands to create the resources.

Authentication

azstatic login

Running the login command will open up a browser page, allow you to login to Azure with your credentials.

Initialization

azstatic init

Running the init command will launch you through a wizard that will send you through the following steps.

1. Select a subscription (if you have more than one)
2. Pick a name for your website

The name of your website will impact the name of the Azure Resource Group as well as the Storage account that will be created.

When run successfully, the init command will create an azure.json file at the root of the site that will contain the resources name upon which this site is deployed.

Deployment

azstatic deploy

The deploy command depends on the presence of azure.json and a valid token obtained from the the login command.

Running the deploy command will take all the files currently in the same folder as azure.json and upload them into the blob storage account defined in the azure.json file.

deploy will not push the azure.json file to blob storage.
