Adding an application

If using template-infra

Whether you will use an existing application template or write your own, to add the infrastructure skeleton for hooking your application up, run:

nava-platform infra add-app . <APP_NAME>

Using an application template

If you want to use one of the template-application- from the Platform, run:

nava-platform app install --template-uri <TEMPLATE_URI> . <APP_NAME>

So for example, if you had a project utilizing the infrastructure template and wanted to add a new application based on the rails template, you would run:

nava-platform infra add-app --commit . my-super-awesome-app
nava-platform app install --template-uri gh:navapbc/template-application-rails --commit . my-super-awesome-app

The app install part may result in a conflict in the <APP_NAME>/Makefile file as the infrastructure template and the application template usually provide a different copy. Typically you'll want to just accept the application template version.
