✨ Creating Bricks

In this section, we'll take a look at how to use the mason new command to create your own bricks.

🚀 Overview​

The mason new command allows us to create a new, custom brick template in the current working directory:

mason new example
✓ Generated 5 file(s). (34ms)
  created example/brick.yaml
  created example/README.md
  created example/CHANGELOG.md
  created example/LICENSE
  created example/__brick__/HELLO.md

✍️ Custom Description​

We can use the --desc option to specify a custom brick description when creating a new brick via mason new:

mason new example --desc "My awesome brick"

🗂 Custom Output Directory​

Similarly to mason make, we can specify a custom output directory when creating a new brick via the -o option:

mason new example -o ./path/to/brick
