kubb studio ​

Run kubb studio to connect a project to Kubb Studio. The CLI runs generation on your machine and sends progress and generated file paths to Studio. Grant --allow-read to view generated file contents and diffs in the browser.

Usage ​

Connect the current project. On the first run, approve the pairing code in Studio. The CLI then asks which permissions to grant for this project.

Terminal
shell
kubb studio

Actions ​

The positional argument selects the action. It defaults to connect.

Action Description
connect Connect, then hold a session open and generate on request.
login Pair this machine without opening a generation session.
logout Forget this machine's stored Studio token.
status Show the machine's pairing and saved permissions for this project.
snapshot Generate and publish a snapshot from a script, then exit. See Snapshot from CI.

Options ​

Option Default Description
--config=<path>, -c <path> Path to a config file, such as ./kubb.staging.ts.
--url=<url> https://kubb.studio URL for Kubb Studio.
--allow-read false Read the source of files a generation produced. Asked once per project when omitted.
--allow-write false Write generated files to disk. Asked once per project when omitted.
--allow-config-edit false Let Studio change plugin options in kubb.config.ts. Asked once per project.
--allow-input false Generate from a spec Studio sends instead of the one on disk. Asked once per project.
--allow-exec false Run the formatter, the linter, and output.postGenerate. Asked once per project.
--no-open Do not open the approval page in a browser.
--log-level=<silent|info|verbose>, -l info Set the verbosity.
--token=<key> snapshot only: organization CI API key. Defaults to KUBB_TOKEN.
--id=<id> snapshot only: stable identity for the CI agent. Auto-detected on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines and CircleCI.
--name=<name> snapshot only: package name for the tarball. Defaults to the name in package.json.
--package-version=<version> snapshot only: package version for the tarball. Defaults to the version in package.json.
--timeout=<seconds> 600 snapshot only: seconds to wait for the job to finish, capped at 3600.
--json false snapshot only: print the result as one JSON object instead of a summary.

Without --allow-read, a session still generates and reports file paths, but Studio cannot display their contents. The CLI asks about permissions not supplied as flags and remembers answers per project directory. In CI or without a TTY, it does not prompt, so pass the permissions the run needs explicitly.

Environment variables ​

Variable Description
KUBB_HOME Directory the CLI keeps its Studio state in. Defaults to ~/.kubb.
KUBB_AGENT_TOKEN Connect with an existing agent token instead of approving this machine.
KUBB_TOKEN snapshot only: organization CI API key. Same as --token.

Examples ​

Terminal
shell
kubb studio                              # connect and answer permission prompts
kubb studio --allow-read                 # allow Studio to show generated file contents
kubb studio --allow-write --allow-exec   # write files, run the formatter and linter
kubb studio login                        # pair without opening a session
kubb studio logout                       # forget the stored token
kubb studio snapshot                     # generate and publish a snapshot from CI
kubb studio snapshot --json              # print the snapshot as one JSON object
