Advanced Flag in ForgeX

The --advanced flag in ForgeX serves as a switch to enable additional features during project creation. It is applied with the create command and unlocks the following features:

• HTMX Support using Templ: Enables the integration of HTMX support for dynamic web pages using Templ.

• CI/CD Workflow Setup using GitHub Actions: Automates the setup of a CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions.

• Websocket Support: WebSocket endpoint that sends continuous data streams through the WS protocol.

• Tailwind: Adds Tailwind CSS support to the project.

• Docker: Docker configuration for Go projects.

• React: Frontend written in TypeScript, including an example fetch request to the backend.

Using the --advanced Flag

To utilize the --advanced flag, use the following command:

forgex create --name <project_name> --framework <selected_framework> --driver <selected_driver> --advanced

By including the --advanced flag, users can choose one or all of the advanced features. The flag enhances the simplicity of ForgeX while offering flexibility for users who require additional functionality.

Non-Interactive setup is also possible:
