Command Line Interface

The C–ATTS CLI is the easiest way to develop, test, and run C–ATTS recipes locally. The CLI fetches query results, runs processor scripts, and validates schema items against the recipe's schema.

As a starting point for your recipe development, please fork the catts-recipes repository.

Installation

Install the package globally to be able to use the catts command-line tool.

bash
npm install -g catts-cli

CLI Usage

Querying

To fetch query results from a recipe, use the query command:

bash
catts query <recipeFolder>

The query command will fetch the query results from the specified recipe and print them to the console. You can optionally specify the index of the query to run:

bash
catts query <recipeFolder> -i <index>

To get more detailed output, including verbose logging, use the -v or --verbose option:

bash
catts query <recipeFolder> -v

Running

To run a recipe, use the run command:

bash
catts run <recipeFolder>

The run command will fetch the query results from the specified recipe, run the processor script, validate the schema items against the recipe's schema, and print the results to the console.

To get more detailed output, including verbose logging, use the -v or --verbose option:

bash
catts run <recipeFolder> -v

Customizing the user address

The CLI needs to know a user address to fetch query results. By default, the SDK uses the USER_ETH_ADDRESS environment variable to fetch query results. If you want to use a different address, you can pass the -e or --eth-address option to the query or run commands. Alternatively, you can create a .env file in the root of your project with the USER_ETH_ADDRESS variable set to the desired address.

bash
catts query <recipeFolder> -e <address>
catts run <recipeFolder> -e <address>
