Client package for deploying React apps to Autosite servers

# AutoSite Client

A CLI tool for easily deploying React applications to AutoSite deployment servers.

## Installation

```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g autosite-client

# Or use with npx (recommended)
npx autosite-client [command]
```

## Usage

### Setup Your Deployment Configuration

```bash
npx autosite-client setup
```

This will prompt you to enter:
- The server URL (e.g., http://yourdomain.com:8080)
- Your API key for deployment authorization

### Deploy Your React Application

```bash
# Navigate to your React project directory
cd your-react-project

# Build your project (if needed)
npm run build

# Deploy your application
npx autosite-client deploy
```

The tool will automatically detect your build directory and deploy your application to the configured server.

### Check Server Status

```bash
npx autosite-client status
```

This will show the status of your server and deployment information.

### View or Update Configuration

```bash
# Show current configuration
npx autosite-client config --show

# Clear configuration
npx autosite-client config --clear
```

## Advanced Usage

### Specify Custom Build Directory

```bash
npx autosite-client deploy --dir dist
```

### Create Development Package for Testing

```bash
npx autosite-client dev-package
```

This creates a deployment package without uploading it, useful for testing.

## Requirements

- Node.js 12 or higher
- A running AutoSite deployment server
