Custom Commands for oauth-client-credentials-openapi

Overview

The oauth-client-credentials-openapi 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/oauth-client-credentials-openapi/custom.rs    ← Your command handlers (protected by .fernignore)
cli/oauth-client-credentials-openapi/sdk_glue.rs  ← Generated bridge: sdk_client() + block_on()
cli/oauth-client-credentials-openapi/main.rs      ← Generated entrypoint (calls custom::register)
oauth-client-credentials-openapi-sdk/             ← Co-generated typed SDK crate
oauth-client-credentials-openapi-types/           ← Co-generated typed model crate

Adding a Custom Command

1. Edit cli/oauth-client-credentials-openapi/custom.rs

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

use oauth_client_credentials_openapi_sdk::api::*;

pub fn register(app: CliApp) -> CliApp {
    let app = app.command(
        clap::Command::new("get")
            .about("Get a plant by ID")
            .arg(clap::Arg::new("plantId").required(true))
        ,
        |matches, ctx| {
            let plant_id = matches.get_one::<String>("plantId").unwrap();
            let client = super::sdk_glue::sdk_client(ctx);
            let result = super::sdk_glue::block_on(
                client.plants.get(plant_id),
            )?;
            println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result).unwrap());
            Ok(())
        },
    );
    app
}

Then build and test:

cargo build
oauth-client-credentials-openapi get <plantId>

2. Available SDK Clients

The sdk_glue::sdk_client(ctx) call returns a oauth_client_credentials_openapi_sdk::api::Client with the following sub-clients:

Field Type Description
client.identity oauth_client_credentials_openapi_sdk::api::IdentityClient identity operations
client.plants oauth_client_credentials_openapi_sdk::api::PlantsClient plants 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 oauth_client_credentials_openapi_sdk::api::*;

Regeneration Safety

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