Custom scripts

Introduction

You can define custom scripts in your context configuration which can then be executed with the ddn run command.

You're free to create your own scripts tailored to your workflow needs. This allows you to encapsulate complex command sequences into simple, memorable script names.

Here's an example of the context configuration structure:

<project-root>/.hasura/context.yaml:
kind: Context
version: v3
definition:
current: default
contexts:
default:
supergraph: ../supergraph.yaml
subgraph: ../app/subgraph.yaml
localEnvFile: ../.env
scripts:
docker-start:
bash: HASURA_DDN_PAT=$(ddn auth print-pat) docker compose --env-file .env up --build --pull always -d
powershell: $Env:HASURA_DDN_PAT = (ddn auth print-pat); docker compose --env-file .env up --build --pull always -d

Adding Scripts

You can add new scripts to your project by defining a new entry in the scripts section of your context configuration which is defined in the .hasura/context.yaml file in your project.

<project-root>/.hasura/context.yaml:
kind: Context
version: v3
definition:
current: default
contexts:
default:
supergraph: ../supergraph.yaml
subgraph: ../app/subgraph.yaml
localEnvFile: ../.env
scripts:
docker-start:
bash: HASURA_DDN_PAT=$(ddn auth print-pat) docker compose --env-file .env up --build --pull always -d
powershell: $Env:HASURA_DDN_PAT = (ddn auth print-pat); docker compose --env-file .env up --build --pull always -d
<script-name>:
bash: <command-to-execute-for-bash>
powershell: <command-to-execute-for-powershell>
Paths in scripts are relative to your project's root path.

Running Scripts

To run a script, use the command:

from any directory in the project, run:
ddn run <script-name>
Paths in scripts are relative to your project's root path.

Multi-Platform Support

Currently, you can define scripts for Bash and PowerShell under a single script name. DDN CLI will automatically select the correct script version based on your environment.

These can be configured using the bash and powershell fields in the script definition:

scripts:
<script-name>:
bash: <command-to-execute-for-bash>
powershell: <command-to-execute-for-powershell>

You can choose to provide either one of the supported options. If the version required for the user's shell is not defined, the ddn run command will throw an error.
