Deploy Flow Library

Now that you have created your Flow Library and installed Didact's applications, it's time to deploy your Flow Library to a Library Source so that Didact Engine can find and synchronize it.

Create build artifacts

To deploy your Flow Library, you'll use the Didact CLI that you previously installed.

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of your Flow Library (where your .csproj file is).
2. Publish your Flow Library to a local folder using the dotnet CLI command below:

dotnet publish

INFO

If your .csproj was configured correctly in the previous steps, then the publish command should create one or more .dll files.

Deploy build artifacts

3. Now navigate to your publish folder that contains the build artifacts (the .dll files and and so on).
4. Inside the publish folder, use Didact CLI to deploy your now-built library to the database by running the command below:

didact deployment init --artifact-type "library" --primary-dll-name "FlowLibrary.dll" --deployment-type "LocalFileSystem"

didact deployment init --entrypoint "FlowLibrary.dll" --deployment-type "LocalFileSystem"
