# Commands
NocoBase Server Application is a powerful and extensible CLI tool in addition to being used as a WEB server.
Create a new `app.js` file with the following code.
```ts
const Application = require('@nocobase/server');
// omit the specific configuration here
const app = new Application({/*... */});
app.runAsCLI();
```
app.js run as ``runAsCLI()`` is a CLI, it will work like this in the command line tool.
```bash
node app.js install # install
node app.js start # start
```
To better develop, build and deploy NocoBase applications, NocoBase has many built-in commands, see the [NocoBase CLI](/api/cli) section for details.
## How to customize Command?
NocoBase CLI is designed to be very similar to [Laravel Artisan](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/artisan), both are extensible. NocoBase CLI is based on [commander](https://www.npmjs.com/ package/commander) implementation, which extends Command like this
```ts
export class MyPlugin extends Plugin {
load() {
this.app
.command('echo')
.option('--v, --version');
.action(async ([options]) => {
console.log('Hello World!');
if (options.version) {
console.log('Current version:', app.getVersion());
}
});
}
}
```
This method defines the following command.
```bash
yarn nocobase echo
# Hello World!
yarn nocobase echo -v
# Hello World!
# Current version: 0.8.0-alpha.1
```
More API details can be found in the [Application.command()](/api/server/application#command) section.
## Example
### Defining a command for exporting collections
If we want to export the data in the application's collections to a JSON file, we can define a subcommand as follows.
```ts
import path from 'path';
import * as fs from 'fs/promises';
class MyPlugin extends Plugin {
load() {
this.app
.command('export')
.option('-o, --output-dir')
.action(async (options, . .collections) => {
const { outputDir = path.join(process.env.PWD, 'storage') } = options;
await collections.reduce((promise, collection) => promise.then(async () => {
if (!this.db.hasCollection(collection)) {
console.warn('No such collection:', collection);
return;
}
const repo = this.db.getRepository(collection);
const data = repo.find();
await fs.writeFile(path.join(outputDir, `${collection}.json`), JSON.stringify(data), { mode: 0o644 });
}), Promise.resolve());
});
}
}
```
After registering and activating the plugin call from the command line.
```bash
mkdir -p . /storage/backups
yarn nocobase export -o . /storage/backups users
```
After execution, it will generate `. /storage/backups/users.json` file containing the data from the collections.
