Velto CLI 🚀

Velto CLI is the official command-line tool for Velto, a fast and minimal Rust web framework. It helps you scaffold, run, and manage Velto apps with ease.

✨ Features

velto new <name> — Create a new Velto project instantly
velto run — Build and launch your app with clean output
LiveReload support in dev mode
Graceful shutdown on Ctrl+C
No noisy Cargo logs — just your app

📦 Installation

cargo install velto-cli

🚀 Usage

Create a new project

velto new my-app

This generates:

src/main.rs with a sample route
templates/index.html with dynamic content
static/ for assets like CSS and JS
Cargo.toml with Velto dependencies

Run your app

velto run --port 3000

Options:

--port <PORT> — Set the port (default: 8080)
-r, --release — Run in release mode

🧪 CLI Tests

You can run these tests using cargo test inside the velto-cli repo.

Example: `tests/cli.rs`

use std::process::Command;

#[test]
fn test_new_project() {
    let output = Command::new("cargo")
        .args(["run", "--", "new", "test-app"])
        .output()
        .expect("Failed to run velto new");

    assert!(output.status.success());
    assert!(std::path::Path::new("test-app/src/main.rs").exists());
}

#[test]
fn test_run_help() {
    let output = Command::new("cargo")
        .args(["run", "--", "run", "--help"])
        .output()
        .expect("Failed to run velto run --help");

    let stdout = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout);
    assert!(stdout.contains("Usage"));
    assert!(output.status.success());
}
