TyGen

Use a TyGen-enabled cognite CLI to add generated model types and typed view references to a Dune or Flows app. The generated files describe the selected data model. They do not provide a runtime client, query helpers, or data-model CRUD APIs.

Availability

TyGen is experimental and is not part of the normal app workflow. Before suggesting, running, or editing code that depends on generated output, verify that COGNITE_ALPHA_ENABLE_TYGEN is explicitly set to true for the command environment. If it is not enabled, explain that TyGen is an opt-in alpha capability and continue with the native @cognite/sdk types and APIs already used by the app.

If you introduce TyGen as an option, confirm the user wants to use it before running it. An explicit request to generate types is sufficient confirmation. Do not enable the flag, add it to a repository, or change deployment configuration without the user's explicit approval.

Generate

Generate against one versioned data model:

npx @cognite/cli@latest tygen generate \
  --data-model mySpace:myModel:v1
