Quick Start

tsp-client allows you to develop your TypeSpec project locally before pushing changes upstream. These instructions can be used when you want to generate a client library from a local TypeSpec project that has the changes you wish to use.

Prerequisites

  • Install tsp-client:
Terminal window
npm install -g @azure-tools/typespec-client-generator-cli
  • Have a local Git repository with your TypeSpec project. We’ll use the azure-rest-api-specs repository in examples.
  • Have a clone of an azure-sdk-for-<language> repository. We’ll use azure-sdk-for-python in examples.

Generate a client library from local changes

  1. Go to local azure-rest-api-specs clone.
  2. Create/Modify the TypeSpec project.
  3. Switch to the language repository clone you want to generate a client library in. Example:
Terminal window
cd < path to > /azure-sdk-for-python
  1. From the root of the repository run the following command:
Terminal window
azure-sdk-for-python> tsp-client init -c <path to local typespec project at tspconfig.yaml level>

Example:

Terminal window
azure-sdk-for-python > tsp-client init -c ../azure-rest-api-specs/specification/contosowidgetmanager/Contoso.WidgetManager/
