`idf-build-apps` is a tool that helps users find and build [ESP-IDF][esp-idf], and [ESP8266 RTOS][esp8266-rtos] projects in a large scale.
## What is an `app`?
A project using [ESP-IDF][esp-idf] SDK, or [ESP8266 RTOS][esp8266-rtos] SDK typically contains:
- Build recipe in CMake or Make and the main component with app sources
- (Optional) One or more [sdkconfig][sdkconfig] files
`app` is the abbreviation for application. An application is a set of binary files that is being built with the specified [sdkconfig][sdkconfig] and the target chip. `idf-build-apps` could build one project into a number of applications according to the matrix of these two parameters.
## Installation
```shell
pip install idf-build-apps
```
or `pipx`
```shell
pipx install idf-build-apps
```
## Basic Usage
`idf-build-apps` is a python package that could be used as a library or a CLI tool.
As a CLI tool, it contains three sub-commands.
- `find` to find the buildable applications
- `build` to build the found applications
- `completions` to activate autocompletions or print instructions for manual activation
For detailed explanation to all CLI options, you may run
```shell
idf-build-apps -h
idf-build-apps find -h
idf-build-apps build -h
idf-build-apps completions -h
```
As a library, you may check the [API documentation][api-doc] for more information. Overall it provides
- Two functions, `find_apps` and `build_apps`
- Two classes, `CMakeApp` and `MakeApp`
## Quick CLI Example
To build [ESP-IDF hello world example project][hello-world] with ESP32:
```shell
idf-build-apps build -p $IDF_PATH/examples/get-started/hello_world/ --target esp32
```
The binary files will be generated under `$IDF_PATH/examples/get-started/hello_world/build` directory.
