Creating an Accent Project

Accent does not have any rules for how you structure your application. However, if you want to get started with a pre-defined structure, you can do so with the CLI's create command.

To create a project, use the following command:

ac create [project-name]

This will create a new directory with the following file structure:

├── components    ├── shared├── pages    ├── shared├── index.html├── app.js├── ac.config.json # Used to indicate the root of an Accent project.

This structure can be altered in any way you see fit.

Creating a Development Server (Accent Router)

This development server is to be used with the Accent Router library. See the documentation for more information.

To start your development server, run the serve command in the directory with your index.html file:

ac serve

This will create a localhost server on port 5000 configured for Accent's Single Page Application (SPA) structure.

Custom Path

To add a custom path for your server, use the following syntax:

ac serve ./path/to/index.html

Custom Server Port

To add a custom port for your server, use the following syntax:

ac serve --port=[port-number]
