About:
The Static Web Apps CLI (SWA CLI) is a command-line tool that enables developers to emulate the Azure Static Web Apps environment locally. It provides local hosting, API proxying, authentication simulation, and debugging capabilities for full-stack static applications. Its main value is streamlining the development and testing workflow before deployment to Azure.

Key Features:

Local emulation of Azure Static Web Apps environment
Integrated local server for static files and API proxying
Simulation of authentication and authorization layers
Live reload and debugging support
Seamless deployment to Azure Static Web Apps

Use Cases:

Local development and testing of full-stack static web apps before Azure deployment
Debugging authentication flows and API integrations offline

Alternatives:

Netlify CLI – Focuses on Netlify's platform features and deployment, while SWA CLI is specific to Azure's Static Web Apps service.
Vercel CLI – Tailored for Vercel's deployment and preview features, not for emulating Azure's specific runtime and auth services.
