setup config for a specific extension

[jimmymjing]

Hello, is it possible to setup required config params for a specific extension? something like apm project config set IDFA, and then walkthrough all required params similar to init command?
Similarily, is there a need to list required config params for a specific extension?

Hi,

Good idea! I've been trying to think of some better approaches with adding the configuration parameters for a package. I was considering adding a similar process to the end of the install process but this sounds like a better idea, i.e. have a specific command to walkthrough the parameters for an extension.

You can currently see which extensions each parameter is specified in by using the describe command:

apm project config describe

Cool! Do you think ppl also need to check config params for a specified extension? Something like apm project config describe IDFA

[marchbold]

Yeah, cool, will get something like this in too...

You can check out the new describe params here:

https://github.com/airsdk/apm/wiki/Usage-ProjectsAndPackages#describe

Basically there are 3 variants now:

apm project config describe 
apm project config describe <package identifier>
apm project config describe <param name>

The new set params here:

https://github.com/airsdk/apm/wiki/Usage-ProjectsAndPackages#set

The existing one was:

apm project config set <param name> <param value>

You can now do:

apm project config set <param name>

This will print the "description" and then ask for input for a value.

apm project config set <package identifier>

will print the parameters for the specified package and ask for input for each one.

Lastly,

apm project config set

(with no params) will walk through all the project parameters asking for input for each.

With any of these hitting enter with no input will leave the value unchanged.

Forgot to say, this will roll out in v1.1 later this week.
