uip vss generate

Syntax and options for `uip vss generate`, which produces a TypeScript file from a Data Fabric schema for use in vertical solution code.

uip vss generate produces a TypeScript vss.gen.ts file from a Data Fabric schema (data_fabric_schema.json) or a vss.json config. It resolves choice sets into TypeScript unions and emits entity types the solution code can import. Run it after editing the entity schema or pulling a new schema export from uip df.

Synopsis

uip vss generate [options]
uip vss generate [options]

Options

FlagDescription
-s, --schema <path>Path to a schema file — either data_fabric_schema.json or vss.json. The source is inferred from the filename. When omitted, resolution falls back to the order below.
-t, --target-path <targetPath>Directory to resolve the default schema path from, and to write vss.gen.ts into. Defaults to the current directory.

When --schema is omitted, resolution checks, in order: <target-path>/data_fabric_schema.json, then <target-path>/vss.json, then <target-path>/client/data_fabric_schema.json, then <target-path>/client/vss.json (the client/ subdirectory is where a scaffolded app's schema typically lives). If none of the four exist, the command fails and lists all four checked paths.

Examples

# Generate using the schema at <target>/data_fabric_schema.json
uip vss generate

# Custom schema path and target directory
uip vss generate \
    --schema ./schemas/data_fabric_schema.json \
    --target-path ./src/generated
# Generate using the schema at <target>/data_fabric_schema.json
uip vss generate

# Custom schema path and target directory
uip vss generate \
    --schema ./schemas/data_fabric_schema.json \
    --target-path ./src/generated

  • uip vss init — produce the vss.json that generate can read as a schema source.
