## Overview Azure Static Web Apps (SWA) hosts static frontends with optional serverless API backends. The SWA CLI (`swa`) provides local development emulation and deployment capabilities. **Key features:** - Local emulator with API proxy and auth simulation - Framework auto-detection and configuration - Direct deployment to Azure - Database connections support **Config files:** - `swa-cli.config.json` - CLI settings, **created by `swa init`** (never create manually) - `staticwebapp.config.json` - Runtime config (routes, auth, headers, API runtime) - can be created manually ## General Instructions ### Installation ```bash npm install -D @azure/static-web-apps-cli ``` Verify: `npx swa --version` ### Quick Start Workflow **IMPORTANT: Always use `swa init` to create configuration files. Never manually create `swa-cli.config.json`.** 1. `swa init` - **Required first step** - auto-detects framework and creates `swa-cli.config.json` 2. `swa start` - Run local emulator at `http://localhost:4280` 3. `swa login` - Authenticate with Azure 4. `swa deploy` - Deploy to Azure ### Configuration Files **swa-cli.config.json** - Created by `swa init`, do not create manually: - Run `swa init` for interactive setup with framework detection - Run `swa init --yes` to accept auto-detected defaults - Edit the generated file only to customize settings after initialization Example of generated config (for reference only): ```json { "$schema": "https://aka.ms/azure/static-web-apps-cli/sch...
