LightNet CLI reference

@lightnet/cli provides command-line tools for working with LightNet projects.

This page is a reference for the currently available commands. The CLI will grow over time, and new commands will be added here as they are released.

Package and binary

Install the package in your project:

npm install --save-dev @lightnet/cli

The package exposes the lightnet command:

lightnet <command> [options]

To see the current command list directly from the CLI, run:

lightnet --help

You can also run the CLI without installing it first:

npx @lightnet/cli --help

Available commands

check-translations

lightnet check-translations

Checks translation data from the latest LightNet build and reports missing locale values.

What it does:

• reads the cached translation build output
• verifies that each used translation has values for every configured locale
• prints missing translations
• fails with non zero exit code if any translation is missing

Use this command when you want to:

• check translations after building a LightNet site
• catch incomplete translations in CI before deployment
• review translation coverage while adding locales or updating inline translation maps

Before running it, build your site so LightNet can generate the translation cache:

npm run build

If the cache is missing, the command fails and tells you to run a build first.

Note

This command only validates translations that were actually used during the last build. For example, if a category label was never referenced while building the site, a missing locale value for that label will not be reported yet.
