Weexpack helps to setup weex application from scratch quickly. With simple commands, developers could create a Weex project, add different platform template, could install plugins from local, GitHub or Weex market, could pack up his application project and run on mobile. For those who would like to share his own plugins, he could publish them to the Weex market.

Now weex-toolkit can run the same commands of weexpack because of the new architecture. If your directory is generated by weexpack, you can build your iOS or android app.

$ weex platform add ios

If you use these commands firstly, you might see the prompt. Just enter Y.

Then run platform, you will see an iPhone simulator

$ weex run ios

weex plugin commands
