Publish a component

Anyone can publish: sign up with your email, then publish from your workspace. ecut renders the preview video from the component's example, so what people see here is what the component renders.

1. Log in once

ecut login --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev

It asks for your email and mails you a 6-digit code. A new email picks its @handle there; that is where your components live. The login is stored in ~/.config/effortless_cut/credentials.json; your profile lists every login and can end each one.

2. Make it publishable

In components/<name>/:

component.md with kind, summary, use_when, props and version in the frontmatter. Versions cannot change once published: raise version for every new upload.
At least one examples/*.json composition. The first one (or --example) becomes the preview; previewAt picks the poster frame.
Files the example needs (pictures, data) inside the component folder, referenced with file:.

3. Check, then publish

ecut publish <name> --dry-run --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev
ecut publish <name> --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev

--dry-run renders the preview and shows what would be uploaded. previews/, dotfiles and node_modules stay at home.

Install

ecut search <words> --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev
ecut add @publisher/name --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev
ecut add @publisher/name@2 --as name2 --market https://effortless-cut-market.pages.dev

Without a version you get the latest. --as puts it in another folder, for example next to a component of the same name.
