Custom Commands for test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension
Overview
The test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension CLI supports user-authored custom commands that are
compiled into the binary alongside the auto-generated API commands.
Custom commands get a fully-wired SDK client that inherits the CLI's
auth, retries, TLS, base URL, and global headers — zero configuration required.
Architecture
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/custom.rs ← Your command handlers (protected by .fernignore)
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/sdk.rs ← Generated bridge: client() + block_on()
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/main.rs ← Generated entrypoint (calls custom::register)
test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension-sdk/ ← Co-generated typed SDK crate
test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension-types/ ← Co-generated typed model crate
Adding a Custom Command
1. Edit cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/custom.rs
This file is protected by .fernignore — fern generate will never
overwrite it. Register commands in the register() function:
use test_x_fern_global_parameters_extension_sdk::api::*;
pub fn register(app: CliApp) -> CliApp {
let app = app.command(
clap::Command::new("get")
.about("Run products get")
.arg(clap::Arg::new("regionId").required(true))
.arg(clap::Arg::new("productId").required(true))
,
|matches, ctx| {
let region_id = matches.get_one::<String>("regionId").unwrap();
let product_id = matches.get_one::<String>("productId").unwrap();
let client = super::sdk::client(ctx);
let result = super::sdk::block_on(
client.products.get(region_id, product_id),
)?;
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result).unwrap());
Ok(())
},
);
app
}
Then build and test:
cargo build
test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension get <regionId> <productId>
2. Available SDK Clients
The super::sdk::client(ctx) call returns a test_x_fern_global_parameters_extension_sdk::api::Client
with the following sub-clients:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|
client.products | test_x_fern_global_parameters_extension_sdk::api::ProductsClient | products operations |
3. Key Patterns
Get the SDK client (execution-sharing, fully authenticated):
let client = super::sdk::client(ctx);
Run an async SDK call from a sync handler:
let result = super::sdk::block_on(
client.some_resource.some_method(args),
)?;
Use typed models for request/response serialization:
use test_x_fern_global_parameters_extension_sdk::api::*;
Regeneration Safety
| File | Regenerated? | Notes |
|---|
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/custom.rs | No | Protected by .fernignore |
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/sdk.rs | Yes | Bridges AppContext → SDK client |
cli/test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension/main.rs | Yes | Calls custom::register(app) |
test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension-sdk/ | Yes | Co-generated typed SDK crate |
test-x-fern-global-parameters-extension-types/ | Yes | Co-generated typed models |
After running fern generate, your custom.rs is preserved. All
generated code (SDK, types, glue, main.rs) is updated to match the
latest API spec. If the SDK surface changes (renamed methods, new
sub-clients), update your custom.rs to match.
