teaql-cli

Rust CLI for TeaQL code generation workflows.

Commands

cargo-teaql gen-lib <model-path>
cargo-teaql gen-doc <model-path>
cargo-teaql gen-model <model-path>
cargo-teaql gen-workspace <model-path>
cargo-teaql version
cargo-teaql show-config
cargo-teaql config
cargo-teaql install-links

CLI flags

cargo-teaql gen-lib <model-path> \
  --endpoint-prefix https://api.teaql.io/latest/ \
  --license-file /path/to/license \
  --output ./build \
  --timeout-seconds 300 \
  --cwd /workspace/project

Directory vs Single File Upload

When a directory is provided as input, cargo-teaql will normally compress it into a zip archive. The server expects exactly one file in the zip to be named main.xml to serve as the entry point. However, if a directory is provided but it does not contain a main.xml, the CLI will search for a single .xml or .ksml model file. If it finds exactly one such file, it will bypass compression and upload that single file directly. Single-file uploads do not require the name main.xml. If multiple files are found and no main.xml is present, the CLI will abort with an error.

Symlink aliases

If you create symlink aliases to the same binary, these names also work:

cargo teaql-gen-lib <model-path>
cargo teaql-gen-doc <model-path>
cargo teaql-gen-model <model-path>
cargo teaql-gen-workspace <model-path>
cargo teaql-version
cargo teaql-show-config
cargo teaql-config

Install the aliases automatically:

cargo-teaql install-links

This creates these symlinks next to the current executable:

teaql
cargo-teaql-gen-lib
cargo-teaql-gen-doc
cargo-teaql-gen-model
cargo-teaql-gen-workspace
cargo-teaql-version
cargo-teaql-show-config
cargo-teaql-config

You can also target a custom directory with cargo-teaql install-links --dir /some/bin --force.

gen-model sends scope=frontend to the service. gen-workspace sends scope=rust-workspace.

Configuration

Precedence (highest wins)

CLI flag  >  Environment variable  >  config.yml  >  Built-in default

Environment variables

Env var	Config key	Description
`TEAQL_ENDPOINT_PREFIX`	`endpoint_prefix`	TeaQL service endpoint prefix
`TEAQL_LICENSE_FILE`	`license_file`	License file path
`TEAQL_BUILD_DIR`	`build_dir`	Output directory
`TEAQL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`timeout_seconds`	HTTP timeout in seconds

TEAQL_SERVICE_URL is still accepted for compatibility, but new configuration should use TEAQL_ENDPOINT_PREFIX.

Config file

Local config lives in ~/.teaql/config.yml.

endpoint_prefix: https://api.teaql.io/latest/
license_file: /path/to/your.LICENSE   # optional — bundled public.LICENSE used if omitted
build_dir: build
timeout_seconds: 300

The endpoint prefix is combined with service methods. For example, generation uses https://api.teaql.io/latest/generate, and cargo-teaql version uses https://api.teaql.io/latest/version.

Source tracking

At startup, the CLI prints where each effective config value came from:

  config (precedence: cli > env > config.yml > default):
    endpoint_prefix = https://api.teaql.io/latest/          (from: environment variable)
    license_file    = /home/user/.teaql/license       (from: ~/.teaql/config.yml)
    build_dir       = /workspace/build                (from: built-in default)
    timeout_seconds = 300                             (from: ~/.teaql/config.yml)
