Tanzu accelerator generate-from-local

This topic tells you how to use the Tanzu Accelerator CLI tanzu accelerator generate-from-local command to generate a project from a combination of registered and local artifacts.

Synopsis

Use local files and registered accelerators or fragments to create a project, and download the project artifacts as ZIP files.

Options values are provided as a JSON object and match the declared options that are specified for the accelerator used for the generation. The options can include projectName which by default is set to the name of the accelerator. This projectName is used as the name of the generated ZIP file.

Here is an example of an options JSON string that specifies the projectName and an includeKubernetes Boolean flag:

--options '{"projectName":"test", "includeKubernetes": true}'

You can also provide a file that specifies the JSON string using the --options-file flag.

The generate-from-local command needs access to the Application Accelerator server. You can specify the --server-url flag or set an ACC_SERVER_URL environment variable. If you specify the --server-url flag it overrides the ACC_SERVER_URL environment variable if it is set.

Examples

Generate a project using a combination of local and registered assets

tanzu accelerator generate-from-local \
--accelerator-path java-rest=workspace/java-rest \ # Use a local accelerator
--fragment-paths java-version=workspace/version \ # Use a local fragment
--fragment-names tap-workload \ # Use a registered fragment
--options '{"projectName":"test"}' \
--output-dir "./generated-java-rest-app"
