Enable deployment

Edge component deployments use the existing DXP deploy command, with one notable difference: deployments to edge need to be enabled in the DXP CLI using the FEATURE_EDGE_COMPONENTS=true feature flag.

FEATURE_EDGE_COMPONENTS=true dxp-next cmp deploy ./components/my-component

The CLI will prompt the user to set this environment variable before deploying an Edge component.

The deploy command will automatically perform a bundle step when deploying edge components. The bundle is stored in a temporary directory named .dxp within the component folder.

We recommend developers use the ignore function in tools like Git to exclude this directory and avoid committing these bundles to your source repository.
