Properties​

args​

args: object

Defined in: definition.ts:369

Map of argument name to its definition. Keys are method parameter names, which become --flag names in the CLI.

Index Signature​

[name: string]: CommandArgDefinition

description​

description: string

Defined in: definition.ts:359

Human-readable description of the command, displayed in CLI help output. Extracted from the description option in @Command("name", { description: "..." }).

method​

method: string

Defined in: definition.ts:364

Name of the method on the service class that handles this command. The shell calls service[method](...args) when the command is invoked.

phase?​

optional phase?: "resolved" | "initialized"

Defined in: definition.ts:382

Lifecycle phase at which this command runs.

  • "initialized" (default when omitted): after Core.init().
  • "resolved": after Core.resolve() only. No service.init() called. Used for build-time hooks (e.g. @BuildCommand).

requires?​

optional requires?: string[]

Defined in: definition.ts:375

Capabilities required by this command. The CLI resolves these against the capabilities map and auto-injects missing services before booting Core.
