Project Flogo is an open source framework to simplify building efficient & modern serverless functions and edge microservices and this is the cli that makes it all happen. 

FLOGO CLI
======================

The Flogo CLI is the primary tool to use when working with a Flogo application.  It is used to create, modify and build Flogo applications
## Installation
### Prerequisites
To get started with the Flogo CLI you'll need to have a few things
* The Go programming language version 1.11 or later should be [installed](https://golang.org/doc/install).
* In order to simplify dependency management, we're using **go mod**. For more information on **go mod**, visit the [Go Modules Wiki](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules).

### Install the cli
To install the CLI, simply open a terminal and enter the below command

```
$ go install github.com/project-flogo/cli/...@latest
```

### Build the CLI from source
You can build the cli from source code as well, which is convenient if you're developing new features for it! To do that, follow these easy steps

```bash
# Get the flogo CLI from GitHub
$ git clone https://github.com/project-flogo/cli.git

# Go to the directory
$ cd cli

# Optionally check out the branch you want to use 
$ git checkout test_branch

# Run the install command
$ go install ./... 
```

## Getting started
Getting started should be easy and fun, and so is getting started with the Flogo cli. 

First, create a file called `flogo.json` and with the below content (which is a simple app with an [HTTP trigger](https://tibcosoftware.github.io/flogo/development/webui/triggers/rest/))

```json
{
  "name": "SampleApp",
  "type": "flogo:app",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "appModel": "1.1.0",
  "imports": [
  	"github.com/project-flogo/contrib/trigger/rest",
  	"github.com/project-flogo/flow",
  	"github.com/project-flogo/contrib/activity/log"
  ],
  "triggers": [
    {
      "id": "receive_http_message",
      "ref": "#rest",
      "name": "Receive HTTP Message",
      "description": "Simple REST Trigger",
      "settings": {
        "port": 9233
      },
      "handlers": [
        {
          "settings": {
            "method": "GET",
            "path": "/test"
          },
          "action": {
            "ref": "#flow",
            "settings": {
              "flowURI": "res://flow:sample_flow"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "resources": [
    {
      "id": "flow:sample_flow",
      "data": {
        "name": "SampleFlow",
        "tasks": [
          {
            "id": "log_message",
            "name": "Log Message",
            "description": "Simple Log Activity",
            "activity": {
              "ref": "#log",
              "input": {
                "message": "Simple Log",
                "addDetails": "false"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Based on this file we'll create a new flogo app

```bash
$ flogo create -f flogo.json myApp
```

From the app folder we can build the executable

```bash
$ cd myApp
$ flogo build -e
```

Now that there is an executable we can run it!

```bash
$ cd bin
$ ./myApp
```

The above commands will start the REST server and wait for messages to be sent to `http://localhost:9233/test`. To send a message you can use your browser, or a new terminal window and run

```bash
$ curl http://localhost:9233/test
```
