init

The init verb creates empty dataset collections and also “users.toml”, “roles.toml”, and “andor.toml” TOML files if they did not already exist. You can list as many dataset collections as you want and the init command will attempt to initialize them one after the other. If an error is encountered it will abort creating further collections after that.

When to use init

If you are setting up a new repository you will need to initialize collections. A typical use case would look like the following.

    AndOr init MyRepository.ds

This command would create the dataset collection and following files.

1. MyRepoisotory.ds, the collection holding repository data
2. andor.toml, the web service configuration use by AndOr start
3. users.toml, the users file by AndOr start
4. roles.toml, the roles file use by AndOr start

AndOr uses the three TOML files to configure how the web service works, known users and the roles and capabilities available to them. Repository collections holds the content the API will provide. An AndOr provides access to the repositories listed in the “andor.toml” file. The users roles apply across repositories listed the “andor.toml” file..
