Getting Started
To create a new Mobile Hub project and pull the project configuration into your app, run the following command on your terminal.
cd <your-app>
awsmobile init
Running this command enables your Mobile Hub project with two default features: (1) Analytics, for receiving the analytics sent from your app and (2) Hosting and Streaming for easily hosting your app in the cloud. The command also adds the AWS Amplify JavaScript library to your app so you can easily integrate Analytics, as well as other features provided by AWS. These features can easily be enabled using the awsmobile cli commands below.

awsmobile configure
awsmobile configure
There are two levels in the aws credential and region configurations for the awsmobile-cli
- general
- per project
When you run awsmobile configure outside of a valid awsmobilejs project, it sets the general configuration. The general configuration is applied when you run awsmobile init or awsmobile start command. And its values are copied as the initial per project configuration for the newly initialized project
When you run awsmobile configure inside a valid awsmobilejs project, it sets the configuration for this project only. It does NOT change the general configuration or the configuration of other projects.
