This command will (below 👇) be particularly useful when using the libSQL Server on your local computer during the development process. Additional features may be developed in the future to make it easier for developers to use libSQL Database and libSQL Server without any concerns.

Token

This Token command will make your life easier as it generates a Database Token for authentication purposes, connecting to a remote database (locally for development purposes), and allows you to easily view previously generated tokens1.

  1. The previously generated token will be replaced when you create a new one. I’ll work on developing this command to store a history of tokens associated with databases, allowing you to name them for bookmarking later.
