View Source Dev server
Inngest provides a dev server you can run locally to aid with local development. You can start the Dev server with:
npx inngest-cli@latest dev
This will download the latest version available and you should be able to access it via http://localhost:8288.
If you prefer to download the CLI locally:
npm i -g inngest-cli
# or
npm i -g inngest-cli@<version>
then:
inngest-cli dev
Auto discovery
The Dev server will try to auto discover apps and functions via http://localhost:3000/api/inngest
by default. However, apps like Phoenix typically runs on port 4000. You can provide the auto
discovery URL when starting the Dev server:
npx inngest-cli@latest dev -u http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/inngest
This will tell the Dev server to look at http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/inngest to discover and
register apps/functions.
Other options
For more options with the Dev server, use the --help option:
inngest-cli dev --help
Note
The inngest-cli is a single executable binary. It's packaged and distributed with NPM for
the time being, but could change in the future.
