# Introduction Important note: for the moment testing this locally will require some hack due to latest twenty-sdk not being published. You will need to build twenty-cli and `cd packages/twenty-cli && yarn link` To finally sync the app in your app folder as `cd app-folder && twenty app sync` close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1863 In this PR is introduced the generate sdk programmatic call to [genql](https://genql.dev/) exposed in a `client` barrel of `twenty-sdk` located in this package as there's high chances that will add a codegen layer above it at some point ? The cli calls this method after a sync application and writes a client in a generated folder. It will make a graql introspection query on the whole workspace. We should later improve that and only filter by current applicationId and its dependencies ( when twenty-standard application is introduced ) Fully typesafe ( input, output, filters etc ) auto-completed client ## Hello-world app serverless refactor <img width="2480" height="1326" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b18ea372-b21d-4560-8fbc-1dc348427a95" /> --------- Co-authored-by: martmull <martmull@hotmail.fr>
