CLI

Legonode provides three main commands:

legonode dev

Runs your app with hot reload. It watches:

• route files (route.* or get/post/put/...*.route.*)
• middleware.*
• cron files (*.cron.*) under cron/
• event files (*.event.*) under events/

legonode build

Compiles TypeScript sources into the build output directory (default ./dist).

legonode start

Starts the built app (no hot reload).

Common options

• -p, --port <number>: server port (default from config or 3000)
• -H, --host <string>: server host (default 127.0.0.1)
• --appDir <path>: app directory root (overrides legonode.config.ts)
• --build-path <path>: output dir for build / start (default ./dist)

Plugin command hooks

If you configure plugins in legonode.config.ts, plugins can also react to CLI lifecycle via hooks like:

• onDevStart, onDevFileChange, onDevRestart, onDevStop
• onBuildStart, onBuildComplete, onBuildError
• onStartStart, onStartListening, onStartStop, onStartError
