Hello everyone!
I'm Sr Izan, your fellow user and contributor.
Today I'm going to show you how to get started with sern and all its cool features.
Step 1: Install the CLI.
Install the CLI:
npm i -g @sern/cli
and then run
sern init
:::tip
You can also run sern init -y if you want to use the default options.
:::
The CLI is written in Typescript and open-sourced on Github. (thanks evo!)
Step 2: Have some way to store secrets.
Normally you'd need a way to store secrets, and the best way to do that is by installing another package: dotenv
just npm i dotenv in the project folder and add require('dotenv').config() to your import section. Then, when you login, process.env.TOKEN (or however you have it named on your .env file) should do the trick.
:::caution
If you're using ESM, configure dotenv with import 'dotenv/config' instead of require('dotenv').config().

And... that's it?
Yes, that's it. Here's a little FAQ to get you started. You can also join the Discord for any problems.
Extra: Video tutorial!
