How to use NOVAS

  • To create a project, type:
novas create [project name]
  • To compile, first change directories to the root of the project (cd [project name]) then type:
novas build
  • To start developing, type:
novas dev
  • This will start up the development server and will open a websocket listening for any changes to the ./src folder. Upon saving changes, your svelte code will be compiled again and the browser will reload to reflect the changes.
