# Bazel

> Run the dev loop on a Bazel project

Bazel-based mobile projects use a rebuild-based dev loop. Revyl detects Bazel
workspaces by looking for `MODULE.bazel`, `WORKSPACE.bazel`, or `WORKSPACE`
files. Bazel is a build tool, not a supported `build.framework` value.

When Revyl finds one native app platform, `revyl init` authors an `ios`- or
`android`-oriented profile using the inferred Bazel command or a placeholder
for you to complete. When the workspace spans both native platforms, init
writes project and session configuration only. Configure each native app as
its own platform-oriented Revyl project rather than authoring legacy
`build.system` or `build.platforms` fields.

Prompt for your coding agent:

```text
Set up Revyl for this Bazel project.

Read https://docs.revyl.com/frameworks/bazel.md and follow it. It's the current Revyl guide for this, so prefer it over anything you remember about Revyl.

Build the app's existing target in debug mode (`-c dbg`). If the workspace builds both an iOS and an Android app, set each up as its own Revyl project.

You're done when `revyl config validate` passes and the app runs in the Revyl dev loop.

Ask me before anything that needs my login or approval.
```

### What `revyl init` shows

```
Detected: Bazel
  Platforms: android, ios
  Bazel workspace detected with concrete android and ios targets.
  Writing project and session configuration only; no build profiles were added.
```

### Example configuration

```yaml
build:
  framework: ios
  profiles:
    development:
      ios:
        build_commands:
          - "bazel run //tools:generate_mobile_sources"
          - "bazel build //ios:MyApp -c dbg"
        output_path: "bazel-bin/ios/MyApp.app"
```

For an Android app, use `framework: android` and an `android` recipe in that
app's project config. Run `revyl config validate` after authoring the recipe.
