Capgo CLI

A CLI to upload and download files from the Capgo Cloud.

Usage

Before use the CLI, you should register here : https://capgo.app/

Then go to your account in apikey section and click in the all key to copy it.

Init

npx @capgo/cli init [apikey]

This method is here to onboard you step by step.

It will add your app to Capgo. It will add the code to your app to validate the update. Likewise, it will build your app. Furthermore, it will upload your app to Capgo. And it will help you to check if the update works.

Login

npx @capgo/cli login [apikey]

This method is here to remember the apikey for you.

:::note use --apikey=******** in any command to override it :::

Optionaly you can give:

--local This will store your apikey in the local repo and git ignore it.

Doctor

npx @capgo/cli doctor

Command to check if you are up-to-date with Capgo packages.

This command will also be useful for bug report.

App

Add

npx @capgo/cli app add [appId]

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

💡 All option will be guessed in your config if not provided.

• --icon [/path/to/my/icon] to have a custom icon display in Capgo web app.
• --name [test] to have a custom name in the list.
• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.

Example of capacitor.config.json for appId and AppName, the icon is guess in the resources folder

{
  "appId": "ee.forgr.capacitor_go",
  "appName": "Capgo",
  "webDir": "dist"
}

Set

npx @capgo/cli app set [appId]

[appId] is your app ID, the format is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --icon [/path/to/my/icon] to have a custom icon display in Capgo web app.
• --name [test] to have a custom name in the list.
• --retention [retention] retention period of app bundle in days, 0 by default = infinite.
• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.

List

npx @capgo/cli app list [appId]

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.

Delete

npx @capgo/cli app delete [appId]

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.
• --bundle with the version number will only delete this version.

Debug

npx @capgo/cli app debug [appId]

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.
• --device with the specific device you want to debug

Bundle

Upload

npx @capgo/cli bundle upload [appId]

[appId] is your app ID, the format is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.
• --path [/path/to/my/bundle] to upload a specific folder.
• --channel [test] to upload to a specific channel.
• --external="https://mydomain.com/myapp.zip" to link to an external URL instead of upload to Capgo cloud, it should be a zip URL in HTTPS.
• --key [/path/to/my/private_key] the path of your private key.
• --key-data [privateKey] the private key data, if you want to use inline.
• --no-key to ignore the signing key and send clear update.
• --bundle [1.0.0] to set the bundle version number of the file to upload.
• --iv-session-key [key] to send a custom session key to the cloud.
• --bundle-url prints bundle url into stdout. Useful when parsing bundle url from shell.
• --no-code-check to ignore the code check and send the bundle anyway.

⭐️ External option helps to unlock 2 cases: corporate with privacy concern, don't send the code to a third part and app bigger than 200 MB. With this setting, Capgo store only the link to the zip and sends the link to all apps.

👀 Capgo cloud never looks at what is in the link (for external option), or in the code when stored.

🔑 You can add a second layer of security by using encryption, then Capgo will not be able to look or modify anything, it becomes “trustless”.

Example of package.json for version

{
  "version": "1.0.2"
}

⛔ Version should be greater than “0.0.0”.

💡 Don't forget to update the version number each time you send one, or the device will don't see the update.

List

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.

Delete

npx @capgo/cli bundle delete [appId]

[appId] your app ID the format com.test.app is explained here.

Optionally, you can give:

• --apikey [key] API key to link to your account.

Cleanup

in a SemVer range for a major version to Cloud

For example: If you have 10 versions from 10.0.1 to 10.0.11, and you use npx @capgo/cli cleanup [appId] --bundle=10.0.0 it will remove 10.0.1 to 10.0.6. 10.0.7 until 10.0.11 will be kept.

If you have 20 versions in total, and you don't provide a bundle number like this: npx @capgo/cli cleanup [appId] --keep=2 It will remove 18 versions, and keep the last 2.

This command will ask for confirmation, it shows a table of what it will be keeping and removing.

:::note This command will ignore bundles which are currently in use in any channel. :::

End-to-End encryption (Trustless)

Capgo supports end-to-end encryption, this means that your bundle(code) is encrypted before sent to the cloud and decrypted on the device. For that, you need to generate an RSA key pair, you can use the following command to generate it.

The encryption system is a combination of RSA and AES, the RSA key is used to encrypt the AES key, and the AES key is used to encrypt the file.

See below for more information about the encryption system.

Create key for your app

npx @capgo/cli key create

Optionally, you can give: --force to overwrite the existing key. This command will create for you a key pair in your app, and will ask you to save the private key in a safe place. It's recommended to not git commit the private and public key, and to not share it with anyone.

After your local test, remove the key from the config file and add it on the CI step with key save

Save key in your app config

npx @capgo/cli key save

Optionally, you can give:

--key [/path/to/my/private_key] the path of your private key.

--key-data [privateKey] the private key data, if you want to use inline. This command is useful if you followed the recommendation and didn't commit the key in your app, and in the config.

Dev contribution

1. Install development dependencies

     rm -rf node_modules
     npm i
   

2. Set "sourceMap": true, in tsconfig.json

3. Run webpack development server

     npm run dev
   

4. Attach debugger to the process started with npm run dev

   VS Code:

   • Run Debug on fixtures launch configuration
   • Edit configuration to debug on different files

   Other IDEs:

   • Attach debugger of your choice to the running process, use .vscode/launch.json Debug on fixtures configuration as the example

Production build

1. Set "sourceMap": false, in tsconfig.json

   TODO: add separate build config

2. Run

    npm install && set NODE_ENV=production&& npx webpack --config webpack.config.js && rm -rf node_modules && npm i --only=prod && npm prune --production && npm shrinkwrap

Publish to NPM

To release a new package version:

1. Bump version in package.json manually

2. Run commands from Production build section

3. Run npm publish --dry-run:

   • ensure that only necessary files are listed in package preview

   • ensure that npm-shrinkwrap.json does not include development dependencies

4. Run npm publish or npm publish --tag beta

Pack executable

prerequisite: perform production build

Pkg will not resolve dynamic module imports, so avoid these at all costs. (Basically, just use plain ordinary static import Something from 'somewhere' and no issue should arise)

Build for all supported platforms

  pkg ./dist/index.js

You can specify targets with -t option (refer to pkg --help and examples on pkg's npm) e.g. use pkg -t node14-win-x64 ./dist/index.js to build for Node14, Windows x64

Build for Node14 Windows x64

   pkg -t node14-win-x64 ./dist/index.js
