# Build your project

### Build tasks

Once you identify a build task you think might be helpful or simply want to give it a try add it to your project like this

```
laraboot task add <name> [--buildtaskID <id>]
```

It's also possible to specify the position on which the build task will be added with `--prepend` or `--append` for instance:

```
laraboot task add nodejs --imageUri=gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs --format=external --prepend
```

### Building

The build command will run all the tasks specified in your configuration and ultimately will give you a container image you can use for your purposes.

```
laraboot build dev
```

> If you feel curious increase the verbosity of the process by passing -v, -vv, or -vvv to the command.

If the command completes successfully a container image had been created with the name of your project.

### Passing additional build params

There might be a time when the build process requires another dependency not specified. In this case, there's the possibility to pass additional parameters to `pack` , which is used internally to build the project.

For instance core build task`@core/laravel-starterkit-buildpack` requires `nodejs`

```
laraboot build dev -vvv --pack-params --buildpack gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs
```
