After you’ve created a new extension for Blade CLI, you must install it so it’s available for use. You can learn how to create custom commands and custom project templates in their respective articles.
When Blade CLI starts, it looks in the user’s ${user.home}/.blade/extensions
folder for JAR files. All JAR files are searched to see if they contain
valid Blade extensions. You’ll learn how to install new extensions next.
Installing a New Extension
To install an extension, you must move the extension JAR to the user’s
${user.home}/.blade/extensions folder. You can do this automatically from
Blade CLI by running
blade extension install /path/to/my_extension.JAR
You can verify that the extension is available by running the following commands, depending on extension type:
Custom Command:
blade help
Custom Project Template:
blade create -l
Great! You’ve installed a new extension!
Uninstalling an Extension
You can uninstall a Blade extension by running this:
blade extension uninstall EXTENSION_NAME.jar
This removes the extension JAR from the user’s ${user.home}/.blade/extensions
folder.
