> Front-end development in Oracle APEX at its best.

APEX Nitro is a build tool for APEX front-end development. It watches for file changes (JavaScript, CSS, other) on your system, compiles them into a better format and synchronizes them to your APEX app in real time.

## What APEX Nitro does

- Synchronizes code in real time to your APEX app

- Allows to write next generation JavaScript

- Serves minified code to APEX for better performance

- Ensures code style and standards are used

- A lot more...

Read the [complete documentation](/docs/features.md) for more info on all features.

## Requirements

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)

- [Oracle Instant Client](https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html) _(optional, used to upload your files to APEX Shared Components)_

## Quickstart

Follow the next few sections to get started quicky with APEX Nitro.

_To get the full APEX Nitro experience, [go to the full documentation](/docs/)._

### Install

```bash

npm install -g apex-nitro

```

### Initialize your project

Answer a few simple questions about your project:

```bash

apex-nitro init

```

![command-init](/docs/img/command-init.png)

Read more on [initializing your APEX Nitro project](/docs/init.md)

### Write your code

Create, edit or delete any file in your source folder. Example:

```bash

|-/src/

  |-myproject.css

  |-myproject.js

```

Read more about [APEX Nitro code patterns](/docs/code.md).

### Connect your APEX app

To enable APEX Nitro in your app, you must make a small tweak in your application. Go to `Shared Components > Application Processes` and create a new application process with the following attributes:

| Attribute         | Value                                                                   |

| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Name              | `APEX Nitro`                                                            |

| Sequence          | `-999`                                                                  |

| Process Point     | `On Load: Before Header (page template header)`                         |

| Condition         | `owa_util.get_cgi_env('APEX-Nitro') is not null`                        |

| Source (`PL/SQL`) | `apex_application.g_flow_images := owa_util.get_cgi_env('APEX-Nitro');` |

![setup-application-process](/docs/img/setup-application-process.png)

Read the documentation for more information about how to [connect your APEX app](/docs/connect.md).

### Reference your files

Your APEX application must references the APEX Nitro files. A recommended location is in the User Interface Attributes:

![setup-reference-application1](/docs/img/setup-reference-application1.png)

![setup-reference-application2](/docs/img/setup-reference-application2.png)

```bash

#APP_IMAGES#myproject#MIN#.js

#APP_IMAGES#myproject#MIN#.css

```

### Build your files

*Only available in Pro mode*

Compiles all local files into a single build more efficient for APEX consumption.

```bash

apex-nitro build

```

![command-build](/docs/img/command-build.png)

### Launch your app

Enable real time coding in your app:

```bash

apex-nitro launch

```

![command-launch](/docs/img/command-launch.png)

This includes the `apex-nitro build` step.

Open up your favorite code editor. Any change you make to your files will be synchronized to your APEX app in real time.

### Uploading your files to APEX Shared Components

```bash

apex-nitro upload

```

![command-upload](/docs/img/command-upload.png)

[Read more](/docs/upload.md) about uploading your files.
