  staticWebApp:
    name: swa-my-site
    resourceGroup: rg-dcs-sites

.dcs/pages.yaml

  - slug: home
    path: /
    type: static
    title: Home
    deletable: false
    textKeys: []

Authentication Flow

The CLI uses OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628):

┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐
│   CLI       │────▶│  DCS Portal API  │────▶│  Google OAuth   │
│  (Node.js)  │◀────│  /api/v1/auth/*  │◀────│  Consent Screen │
└─────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └─────────────────┘
       │
       ▼
┌─────────────────────┐
│  OS Credential Store │  (Encrypted token storage)
└─────────────────────┘

1. Run dcs login
2. CLI displays a URL and code
3. Open URL in browser, enter code
4. Sign in with Google
5. CLI receives and stores tokens securely

---

Site Access Validation

Before creating configuration files, the CLI validates:

1. You're authenticated
2. You have access to the specified site (or can create it)
3. You have editor/admin permissions

This prevents creating configs for sites you don't have access to.

---

Workflow: New Site Integration

Complete workflow for integrating a new customer site:

1. Install CLI

npm install -g @duffcloudservices/cli

2. Authenticate

dcs login

3. Initialize Site

cd /path/to/customer-site
dcs init -s customer-name -n "Customer Name LLC"

4. Install CMS Package

pnpm add @duffcloudservices/cms

5. Configure Vite

// vite.config.ts or .vitepress/config.ts
import { dcsContentPlugin, dcsSeoPlugin } from '@duffcloudservices/cms/plugins'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    dcsContentPlugin(),
    dcsSeoPlugin()
  ]
})

6. Follow Integration Plans

Work through the files in .plans/ directory:

# Check progress
ls .plans/

# Open in VS Code
code .plans/

7. Validate Configuration

dcs validate

8. Register in Portal

The site will be available for management in the DCS Portal once the first deployment completes.

---

Offline Mode

The CLI works offline for these commands:

• dcs init — Creates configuration files locally
• dcs validate — Validates local configuration
• dcs plans — Generates integration plans

Authentication is required for:

• dcs sites — Requires API access
• Live validation features (future)

---

Troubleshooting

"Command not found: dcs"

Ensure the package is installed globally:

npm install -g @duffcloudservices/cli
# Or use npx
npx @duffcloudservices/cli --help

Authentication fails

1. Check your internet connection
2. Ensure you have a valid Google account
3. Try dcs logout then dcs login again

Validation errors

Run with verbose output for details:

dcs validate -v

Site slug already exists

If you're re-initializing a site, use --force:

dcs init -s my-site -n "My Site" --force

---

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
