# hydrogen buildcommand

Builds a Hydrogen storefront for production. The client and app worker files are compiled to a `/dist` folder in your Hydrogen project directory.

## Flags

The following flags are available for the `hydrogen build` command:

* \--bundle-stats

  Show a bundle size summary after building. Defaults to true, use `--no-bundle-stats` to disable.

* \--codegen

  Automatically generates GraphQL types for your project’s Storefront API queries.

* \--codegen-config-path \<value>

  string

  Specifies a path to a codegen configuration file. Defaults to `<root>/codegen.ts` if this file exists.

* \--disable-route-warning

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_DISABLE\_ROUTE\_WARNING

  Disables any warnings about missing standard routes.

* \--entry \<value>

  string

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_ENTRY

  Entry file for the worker. Defaults to `./server`.

* \--force-client-sourcemap

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_FORCE\_CLIENT\_SOURCEMAP

  Client sourcemapping is avoided by default because it makes backend code visible in the browser. Use this flag to force enabling it.

* \--lockfile-check

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_LOCKFILE\_CHECK

  Checks that there is exactly one valid lockfile in the project. Defaults to `true`. Deactivate with `--no-lockfile-check`.

* \--path \<value>

  string

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_PATH

  The path to the directory of the Hydrogen storefront. Defaults to the current directory where the command is run.

* \--sourcemap

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_SOURCEMAP

  Controls whether server sourcemaps are generated. Default to `true`. Deactivate `--no-sourcemaps`.

* \--watch

  env: SHOPIFY\_HYDROGEN\_FLAG\_WATCH

  Watches for changes and rebuilds the project writing output to disk.
