init

Places the Service Worker file into a given public directory of your application.

Usage

1npx msw init <PUBLIC_DIR> [options]

Arguments

PUBLIC_DIR

A relative path to the public directory of your application.

1npx msw init ./public

Options

--save

Save the given PUBLIC_DIR in your package.json for future use.

1npx msw init ./public --save

Your public directory will be saved in package.json under the msw.workerDirectory path:

1{
2  "name": "your-app",
3  "msw": {
4    "workerDirectory": "public"
5  }
6}

You can also use --no-save to prevent the prompt and never save your public directory.

Where is my "public" directory?

A public directory is usually a root directory of your server (i.e. ./build, ./public, or ./dist). This directory is often committed to Git, and so should be the Mock Service Worker.
