Getting started with the Snowtype CLI

Introduction to the Snowtype CLI

Snowtype is a command-line interface that assists developers in implementing custom Snowplow tracking faster, more accurately and more intuitively. Since Snowplow events are always bound to a schema to ensure data quality, we can use this feature to enable type-checking, provide inline documentation and reduce time writing custom code. All that integrated into your development workflow.

Installation

The Snowtype CLI is distributed through npm and soon brew. You can choose either one depending on your needs.

npm install @snowplow/snowtype --save-dev

We will show example commands using npm but it should work the same with either system.
