How to Use Soda

The best way to use Soda is through the web application: Soda Web.

Install Soda Desktop

To use the Desktop App, download the latest release from the Soda GitHub Releases page.

(Optional: You can also download the templates.zip file if you want to use templates other than the default, or clone this repository and use templates from the templates folder.)

Provisional Steps: We are still working on adding code signing to our app, so you may encounter a security warning. Until we finish the code signing process, you might need to check how to open the app on your OS.

Install Soda CLI

You can install the CLI using either Cargo or NPM.

  • Using Cargo (recommended):

    cargo install soda-cli
    
  • Using NPM:

    npm install @use_soda/soda-cli -g
    

CLI Usage

soda-cli create-project <idl_path> <template_path>

Creates a new project from an IDL file. If no template path is provided, the project will attempt to use a template.soda file in the current directory. If no IDL path is provided, the CLI will try to open an idl.json file in the current directory.

soda-cli pack-template <template_path> <output_path>

Creates a template file from a template folder. If no output path is provided, the template will be created in the current directory with the name template.soda. If no template path is provided, the CLI will attempt to read from a template folder in the current directory.

soda-cli unpack-template <template_path> <output_path>

Creates a template folder from a template file. If no output path is provided, the template folder will be created in the current directory with the name template. If no template path is provided, the CLI will try to read from a template.soda file in the current directory.
