@nocobase/cli

The NocoBase CLI is designed to help you develop, build, and deploy NocoBase applications.

NocoBase CLI supports ts-node and node two operation modes.

• ts-node mode (Default): Used for development environment, support real-time compilation, with relatively slow response
• node mode：Used for production environment, with quick response, but you need to execute yarn nocobase build to compile the entire source code first
