Custom Commands for nullable-allof-extends-test

Overview

The nullable-allof-extends-test 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/nullable-allof-extends-test/custom.rs    ← Your command handlers (protected by .fernignore)
cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/sdk.rs       ← Generated bridge: client() + block_on()
cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/main.rs      ← Generated entrypoint (calls custom::register)
nullable-allof-extends-test-sdk/             ← Co-generated typed SDK crate
nullable-allof-extends-test-types/           ← Co-generated typed model crate

Adding a Custom Command

1. Edit cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/custom.rs

This file is protected by .fernignore — fern generate will never overwrite it. Register commands in the register() function:

use nullable_allof_extends_test_sdk::api::*;

pub fn register(app: CliApp) -> CliApp {
    let app = app.command(
        clap::Command::new("my-command")
            .about("Description of your command")
            .arg(clap::Arg::new("id").required(true)),
        |matches, ctx| {
            let id = matches.get_one::<String>("id").unwrap();
            let client = super::sdk::client(ctx);
            let result = super::sdk::block_on(
                client.resource.get(id),
            )?;
            println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result).unwrap());
            Ok(())
        },
    );
    app
}

2. Available SDK Clients

The super::sdk::client(ctx) call returns a nullable_allof_extends_test_sdk::api::Client with the following sub-clients:

(Sub-clients are derived from the API spec at generation time.)

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 nullable_allof_extends_test_sdk::api::*;

Regeneration Safety

File	Regenerated?	Notes
cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/custom.rs	No	Protected by .fernignore
cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/sdk.rs	Yes	Bridges AppContext → SDK client
cli/nullable-allof-extends-test/main.rs	Yes	Calls custom::register(app)
nullable-allof-extends-test-sdk/	Yes	Co-generated typed SDK crate
nullable-allof-extends-test-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.
