strata build
Compile Strata files to PHP.
Usage
bash
strata build <file> [options]Or, if entryPoint is set in .strata.json:
bash
strata build [options]Options
--out=DIR- Output directory (default:build/).--output=DIR- Alias for--out.--rr-worker- Generate RoadRunner worker script for production.--clean- Clean the build directory before building.--watch- Watch for changes after the initial build finishes.--verbose, -V- Show detailed compilation information.
Description
The build command performs full semantic analysis and then emits PHP code to the target build directory. It intelligently skips files whose output is already up to date unless the source has changed.
If --rr-worker is provided, Strata generates a rr-worker.php script configured to run your application within the RoadRunner high-performance application server.
If --watch is provided, the command will perform an initial build and then enter a "watch" loop, automatically recompiling any changed files.
Examples
bash
# basic build
strata build src/index.str
# build to custom directory
strata build src/index.str --out=dist
# clean build for production with RoadRunner
strata build src/index.str --clean --rr-worker
# build and then keep watching for changes
strata build src/index.str --watch
