nevr dev

Starts the complete development workflow.

npx nevr dev [options]

Description

This is the recommended command for local development. It runs the following steps in order:

1. Generate: Runs nevr generate to build the latest schema.
2. Push: Runs nevr db:push to sync the database with the schema.
3. Start: Starts your development server (if configured in package.json scripts) or simply watches for changes.

Options

Option	Alias	Default	Description
--config <path>	-c	./nevr.config.ts	Path to config file.

Workflow

When you run nevr dev, it ensures your database and generated client are always in sync with your entity() definitions.

1. You edit user.ts to add a field.
2. You restart nevr dev (or it watches, depending on setup).
3. The database updates automatically.
4. Your TypeScript types update automatically.

Integration with Frameworks

Use nevr dev in parallel with your framework's dev command using tools like concurrently (though nevr dev is primarily for the database/nevr side).

Usually, you just use the standard dev command of your framework if you are using the runtime features, but nevr dev is great for the database iteration loop.

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nevr dev && ts-node src/server.ts"
  }
