@superfaceai/cli
Advanced tools
Superface CLI provides access to superface tooling from the CLI.
Superface (super-interface) is a higher-order API, an abstraction on top of the modern APIs like GraphQL and REST. Superface is one interface to discover, connect, and query any capabilities available via conventional APIs.
Through its focus on application-level semantics, Superface decouples the clients from servers, enabling fully autonomous evolution. As such it minimizes the code base as well as errors and downtimes while providing unmatched resiliency and redundancy.
Superface allows for switching capability providers without development at a runtime in milliseconds. Furthermore, Superface decentralizes the composition and aggregation, and thus creates an Autonomous Integration Mesh.
Motivation behind Superface is nicely described in this video from APIdays conference.

To install this package just install the cli globally using one of the following commands:
# if using yarn
yarn global add @superfaceai/cli
# otherwise
npm install --global @superfaceai/cli
superface compile FILEsuperface configure PROVIDERNAMEsuperface create DOCUMENTINFOsuperface install [PROFILEID]superface lint FILEsuperface compile FILECompiles the given profile or map.
USAGE
$ superface compile FILE
OPTIONS
-c, --compact Use compact JSON representation of the compiled file.
-h, --help show CLI help
-o, --output=output Specifies directory or filename where the compiled file should be written. `-` is
stdout, `-2` is stderr. By default, the output is written alongside the input
file with `.ast.json` suffix added.
-q, --quiet When set to true, disables the shell echo output of init actions.
-t, --documentType=auto|map|profile [default: auto] Document type to parse. `auto` attempts to infer from file
extension.
--append Open output file in append mode instead of truncating it if it exists. Has no
effect with stdout and stderr streams.
See code: src/commands/compile.ts
superface configure PROVIDERNAMEAutomatically initializes superface directory in current working directory if needed, communicates with Superface Store API, stores provider configuration in super.json
USAGE
$ superface configure PROVIDERNAME
ARGUMENTS
PROVIDERNAME Provider name.
OPTIONS
-f, --force When set to true and when provider exists in super.json, overwrites them.
-h, --help show CLI help
-l, --local When set to true, provider name argument is used as a filepath to provider.json file
-p, --profile=profile (required) Specifies profile to associate with provider
-q, --quiet When set to true, disables the shell echo output of init actions.
EXAMPLES
$ superface configure twilio -p send-sms
$ superface configure twilio -p send-sms -q
$ superface configure twilio -p send-sms -f
$ superface configure providers/twilio.provider.json -p send-sms -l
See code: src/commands/configure.ts
superface create DOCUMENTINFOCreates empty map and profile on a local filesystem.
USAGE
$ superface create DOCUMENTINFO
ARGUMENTS
DOCUMENTINFO Two arguments containing informations about the document.
1. Document Type (optional) - type of document that will be created (profile or map), if not specified,
utility will create both
2. Document Name - name of a file that will be created
OPTIONS
-h, --help show CLI help
-p, --provider=provider Name of a Provider
-q, --quiet When set to true, disables the shell echo output of init actions.
-s, --scan=scan When number provided, scan for super.json outside cwd within range represented by this
number.
-t, --variant=variant Variant of a map
-u, --usecase=usecase Usecases that profile or map contains
-v, --version=version [default: 1.0.0] Version of a profile
--template=empty|pubs [default: empty] Template to initialize the usecases and maps with
EXAMPLES
$ superface create profile sms/service
$ superface create profile sms/service -u SendSMS ReceiveSMS
$ superface create map sms/service -p twilio
$ superface create map sms/service -p twilio -u SendSMS ReceiveSMS
$ superface create sms/service -p twilio -u SendSMS ReceiveSMS
$ superface create sms/service -p twilio -t bugfix -v 1.1-rev133 -u SendSMS ReceiveSMS
See code: src/commands/create.ts
superface install [PROFILEID]Automatically initializes superface directory in current working directory if needed, communicates with Superface Store API, stores profiles and compiled files to a local system. Install without any arguments tries to install profiles and providers listed in super.json
USAGE
$ superface install [PROFILEID]
ARGUMENTS
PROFILEID Profile identifier consisting of scope (optional), profile name and its version.
OPTIONS
-f, --force When set to true and when profile exists in local filesystem, overwrites them.
-h, --help show CLI help
-l, --local When set to true, profile id argument is used as a filepath to profile.supr file
-p, --providers=providers Provider name.
-q, --quiet When set to true, disables the shell echo output of init actions.
-s, --scan=scan When number provided, scan for super.json outside cwd within range represented by this
number.
-t, --types When set to true, generates TypeScript typings for profiles
EXAMPLES
$ superface install
$ superface install sms/service@1.0
$ superface install sms/service@1.0 --providers twilio
$ superface install sms/service@1.0 -p twilio
$ superface install --local sms/service.supr
See code: src/commands/install.ts
superface lint FILELints a map or profile file. Outputs the linter issues to STDOUT by default.
USAGE
$ superface lint FILE
OPTIONS
-f, --outputFormat=long|short|json [default: long] Output format to use to display errors and warnings.
-h, --help show CLI help
-o, --output=output [default: -] Filename where the output will be written. `-` is stdout, `-2` is
stderr.
-q, --quiet When set to true, disables output of warnings.
-t, --documentType=auto|map|profile [default: auto] Document type to parse. `auto` attempts to infer from file
extension.
-v, --validate Validate maps to specific profile.
--append Open output file in append mode instead of truncating it if it exists. Has no
effect with stdout and stderr streams.
DESCRIPTION
Linter ends with non zero exit code if errors are found.
See code: src/commands/lint.ts
Superface is not man-in-the-middle so it does not require any access to secrets that are needed to communicate with provider API. Superface CLI only prepares super.json file with authorization fields in form of environment variable. You just set correct variables and communicate directly with provider API.
You can find more information in SDK repository.
If you need any additional support, have any questions or you just want to talk you can do that through our documentation page.
When developing, start with cloning the repository using git clone https://github.com/superfaceai/cli.git (or git clone git@github.com:superfaceai/cli.git if you have repository access).
After cloning, the dependencies must be downloaded using yarn install or npm install.
Now the repository is ready for code changes.
The package.json also contains scripts (runnable by calling yarn <script-name> or npm run <script-name>):
test - run all testslint - lint the code (use lint --fix to run autofix)format - check the code formatting (use firmat:fix to autoformat)prepush - run test, lint and format checks. This should run without errors before you push anything to git.Lastly, to build a local artifact run yarn build or npm run build.
To install a local artifact globally, symlink the binary (ln -s bin/superface <target>) into one of the following folders:
~/.local/bin - local binaries for your user only (may not be in PATH yet)/usr/local/bin - system-wide binaries installed by the system administratoryarn global bin - usually the same as /use/local/binNote: The project needs to be built (into the dist folder) to run cli commands.
Note: You can change url of API requests by setting SUPERFACE_API_URL environment variable to desired base url.
Please open an issue first if you want to make larger changes
