iFlow CLI Configuration Guide

After configuration, you can directly operate CloudBase services in iFlow CLI's AI conversations.

For example:

  • "Create user table" - AI automatically creates database collection
  • "Deploy this function" - AI automatically uploads and configures cloud function
  • "Deploy frontend to CDN" - AI automatically uploads files and configures hosting

No need to switch to cloud console; all operations can be completed in iFlow CLI using natural language.

Prerequisites​

Before starting configuration, please ensure the following conditions are met:

Node.js environment and CloudBase environment are ready

Node.js Environment: Ensure Node.js v18.15.0 or higher is installed:
