To deploy your client code and assets to the Client project area, you can use the deploy command:

bm client deploy

Once deployed, your changes will be instantly available at your project URL.

 By default, your project will be deployed to the "dev" environment: company-project-dev.blinkm.io. You can deploy to a different environment using the --env tag as described below.

Additional Options
 

--env (default to dev)

This allows you to set the environment you wish to deploy to, such as dev, test, or prod. See the "Using Multiple Environments" section for more details.

bm client deploy --env prod

--cwd (defaults to current folder)

This allows you to set the current working directory for your deployment. By default, it will use the current directory.

bm client deploy --cwd ./myfolder

--force

This will deploy your project without asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to allow automatic deployments for those interested in an automated release.

bm client deploy --force

--skip

The "skip" option will bypass unchanged files (default) on your local machine.

bm client deploy --skip

--no-skip

The "no-skip" option will upload all files, including unchanged files on your local machine.

bm client deploy --no-skip

--prune

The "prune" option will remove any files that don't exist on your local machine.

bm client deploy --prune

--debug

The "debug" option will display extra debugging information. This is useful if you are having issues deploying your web app.

bm client deploy --debug


Using Multiple Environments (Dev, Test, Prod): 

This service allows you to deploy to multiple environments for your project, using the "env" option.

Environments are specified in the API URL as a dash followed by the environment name.

For example, by default, the dev environment is used:

https://company-project-dev.blinkm.io


If, however, you were to set "--env test" option, your API URL would be:

https://company-project-test.blinkm.io


Production URLs:

While any environment name can be used, "prod" is treated a little differently. Production URLs don't use the environment dash; instead it will produce as a shorter, cleaner API URL.

So in this case, "--env prod" will produce the API URL:

https://company-project.blinkm.io
