Adding your own features is as simple as spinning up a new model, view and controller. Gravity comes with a CLI toolbelt that you can use to automatically generate the files needed for this.
Create a New View
1
gravity create yourModelName -db -ui
Copied!
This will create:
1.
a new model template in /model directory
2.
a new controller template in the /controller directory that handles the server request and calls the appropriate model method
3.
a new set of endpoints in /api to route the request to your controller methods
4.
a React view in /client/src/views that makes the API request
If you don't want to create a database table, or a React view then you can omit the -db and -ui parameters.
Create a New React Component
You can automatically create a new React component and import it into the component library using the following command in terminal:
1
gravity create component yourComponentName
Copied!
Running Unit Tests
The toolbelt can also execute a series of unit tests to rigorously test your application.
