3rd Party Components

Baleen CLI uses a series of 3rd-party components to power its functionality. Here’s a quick overview of the main components being used and how. Throughout the rest of the guide we will assume you know how those components work, so we recommend reading up on each component’s documentation on an as-needed basis.

Main components (used directly by Baleen CLI) listed in alphabetical order. Their dependencies are not included in this list unless they’re used directly as well.

Baleen\Migrations

Provides the domain model for migrations. Many of the architectural concepts from that library also apply to Baleen CLI. We recommend reading up on the Baleen Migrations documentation for a better understanding of how this library works. For example, you might want to know what the “Storage” is meant to do.
