name: oauth-client-credentials-openapi-custom-commands description: How to author custom commands for the oauth-client-credentials-openapi CLI using the co-generated SDK.
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 .fernignore — fern 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
# Build the CLI (includes custom commands)
cargo build
# Run your custom command
oauth-client-credentials-openapi <your-command> [args]
# Run with verbose output for debugging
RUST_LOG=debug oauth-client-credentials-openapi <your-command> [args]
