Programmatic creation of projects

[charles-dawes]

Hello,

Is there any way to programmatically create Kreya projects? I am looking into a way to provide our developers with a bundle of a kreya project and the necessary proto files to complete gRPC requests. I would rather programmatically generate these vs storing projects in a git repo and having to maintain that repo any time a proto changes.

Currently, the only way to programmatically create a Kreya project would be to create the krproj file with the correct information, then opening Kreya to let it create the imported operations.

We will add this functionality to the Kreya CLI

Do you have any documentation on what field are required in the kproj file in order to expedite our development effort and/or when the updates to the CLI will be available?

The updates to the CLI may take a while...

The krproj file only needs an id field which should contain an unique GUID. For your use case, you also need to add an import stream to the project (in the importStreams field, which is an array). The easiest way would be to manually create a project and import your gRPC API definition, then see what the krproj file looks like. There aren't that many fields

Awesome, thank you for the information, its much appreciated.

The Kreya CLI now supports a basic command to create a project: https://kreya.app/docs/cli/commands/project/create/
