Custom Commands for multi-url-environment-reference
Overview
The multi-url-environment-reference 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/multi-url-environment-reference/custom.rs ← Your command handlers (protected by .fernignore)
cli/multi-url-environment-reference/sdk_glue.rs ← Generated bridge: sdk_client() + block_on()
cli/multi-url-environment-reference/main.rs ← Generated entrypoint (calls custom::register)
multi-url-environment-reference-sdk/ ← Co-generated typed SDK crate
multi-url-environment-reference-types/ ← Co-generated typed model crate
Adding a Custom Command
1. Edit cli/multi-url-environment-reference/custom.rs
This file is protected by .fernignore — fern generate will never
overwrite it. Register commands in the register() function:
use multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::*;
pub fn register(app: CliApp) -> CliApp {
let app = app.command(
clap::Command::new("list-items")
.about("Run items list-items")
,
|matches, ctx| {
let client = super::sdk_glue::sdk_client(ctx);
let result = super::sdk_glue::block_on(
client.items.list_items(),
)?;
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result).unwrap());
Ok(())
},
);
app
}
Then build and test:
cargo build
multi-url-environment-reference list-items
2. Available SDK Clients
The sdk_glue::sdk_client(ctx) call returns a multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::Client
with the following sub-clients:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
client.items |
multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::ItemsClient |
items operations |
client.auth |
multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::AuthClient |
auth operations |
client.files |
multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::FilesClient |
files operations |
3. Key Patterns
Get the SDK client (execution-sharing, fully authenticated):
let client = super::sdk_glue::sdk_client(ctx);
Run an async SDK call from a sync handler:
let result = super::sdk_glue::block_on(
client.some_resource.some_method(args),
)?;
Use typed models for request/response serialization:
use multi_url_environment_reference_sdk::api::*;
4. Authentication
Custom commands automatically inherit the CLI's authentication. The following auth schemes are configured:
- BearerAuth (bearer): env
MULTI_URL_ENVIRONMENT_REFERENCE_TOKEN
No manual auth wiring is needed in custom command handlers.
Regeneration Safety
| File | Regenerated? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
cli/multi-url-environment-reference/custom.rs |
No | Protected by .fernignore |
cli/multi-url-environment-reference/sdk_glue.rs |
Yes | Bridges AppContext → SDK client |
cli/multi-url-environment-reference/main.rs |
Yes | Calls custom::register(app) |
multi-url-environment-reference-sdk/ |
Yes | Co-generated typed SDK crate |
multi-url-environment-reference-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.
Build & Test
# Build the CLI (includes custom commands)
cargo build
# Run your custom command
multi-url-environment-reference <your-command> [args]
# Run with verbose output for debugging
RUST_LOG=debug multi-url-environment-reference <your-command> [args]
