WeikoandGitHub 76582dc04a Export generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier from SDK (#19937)
## Context
- Moved generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier from the internal
cli/utilities/build/manifest/utils/ folder to sdk/define/objects/ and
re-exported it from
the public twenty-sdk/define entry point, so app authors can compute the
deterministic UID
of a default field (id, name, createdAt, …) from their own code.
- Narrowed the signature from { objectConfig: ObjectConfig; fieldName }
to {
objectUniversalIdentifier: string; fieldName: string } — the only thing
the helper needs,
and what app code has on hand.
- Updated the two internal callers and the spec to the new import path
and signature.

```typescript
import {
  defineView,
  generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier,
} from "twenty-sdk/define";

export default defineView({
  universalIdentifier: "70f10d44-144a-4da8-8c6f-3ec2422138c0",
  name: "all-thing",
  objectUniversalIdentifier: "c782b61c-70fd-4c88-9cd6-4e61ab8d7591",
  icon: "IconList",
  position: 0,
  fields: [
    {
      universalIdentifier: "75a90bc4-d901-4df4-85e0-af29db5e0104",
      fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier(
        {
          objectUniversalIdentifier: "c782b61c-70fd-4c88-9cd6-4e61ab8d7591",
          fieldName: "createdAt",
        },
      ),
      position: 0,
      isVisible: true,
      size: 200,
    },
    {
      universalIdentifier: "75a90bc5-d901-4df4-85e0-af29db5e0105",
      fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier(
        {
          objectUniversalIdentifier: "c782b61c-70fd-4c88-9cd6-4e61ab8d7591",
          fieldName: "createdBy",
        },
      ),
      position: 0,
      isVisible: true,
      size: 200,
    },
  ],
});

Twenty SDK

NPM version License Join the community on Discord

A CLI and SDK to develop, build, and publish applications that extend Twenty CRM.

Quick start

The recommended way to start is with create-twenty-app:

npx create-twenty-app@latest my-app
cd my-app
yarn twenty dev

Documentation

Full documentation is available at docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps:

  • Getting Started — scaffolding, local server, authentication, dev mode
  • Building Apps — entity definitions, API clients, testing, CLI reference
  • Publishing — deploy, npm publish, marketplace

Manual installation

If you are adding twenty-sdk to an existing project instead of using create-twenty-app:

yarn add twenty-sdk twenty-client-sdk

Then add a twenty script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "twenty": "twenty"
  }
}

Run yarn twenty help to see all available commands.

Configuration

The CLI stores credentials per remote in ~/.twenty/config.json. Run yarn twenty remote add to configure a remote, or yarn twenty remote list to see existing ones.

Troubleshooting

  • Auth errors: run yarn twenty remote add to re-authenticate.
  • Typings out of date: restart yarn twenty dev to refresh the client and types.
  • Not seeing changes in dev: make sure dev mode is running (yarn twenty dev).
