# Introduction
While testing the sdk and overall apps in
https://github.com/prastoin/twenty-app-hello-world
Faced a lot of pure `CJS` external dependencies import issue
Replaced all the cjs deps to either esm equivalent or node native
replacement
## PR Description
- Uses `expr-eval` to enable front components (SDK plugins) to define
conditional availability as declarative expressions.
- Moves shared types and constants to `twenty-shared`
- Introduces a `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` field on
`CommandMenuItemEntity`, allowing command menu items to store an
`expr-eval` compatible expression string that is evaluated against a
CommandMenuContext to determine if the item should be shown.
- Creates an esbuild transform plugin
`conditional-availability-transform-plugin` in `twenty-sdk` that
converts TypeScript conditional availability expressions into
`expr-eval` compatible syntax at build time, so SDK developers can write
natural TS expressions that get transformed to evaluable strings.
- Removes deprecated `forceRegisteredActionsByKey` state and its usage.
- Creates `useCommandMenuContext` hook that builds the full
`CommandMenuContext` object from React state, which is then passed to
`useCommandMenuItemFrontComponentActions` for evaluating conditional
availability expressions.
# Introduction
Adding integration test scaffold to the create twenty app and an example
to the hello world app
This PR also fixes all the sdk e2e tests in local
## `HELLO_WORLD`
Removed the legacy implem in the `twenty-apps` folder, replacing it by
an exhaustive app generation
## Next step
Will in another PR add workflows for CI testing
## Open question
- Should we still add vitest config and dep even if the user did not ask
for the integration test example ? -> currently we don't
- That's the perfect timing to identify if we're ok to handle seed
workspace authentication with the known api key
## Summary
Completes the migration of the frontend styling system from **Emotion**
(`@emotion/styled`, `@emotion/react`) to **Linaria** (`@linaria/react`,
`@linaria/core`), a zero-runtime CSS-in-JS library where styles are
extracted at build time.
This is the final step of the migration — all ~494 files across
`twenty-front`, `twenty-ui`, `twenty-website`, and `twenty-sdk` are now
fully converted.
## Changes
### Styling Migration (across ~480 component files)
- Replaced all `@emotion/styled` imports with `@linaria/react`
- Converted runtime theme access patterns (`({ theme }) => theme.x.y`)
to build-time `themeCssVariables` CSS custom properties
- Replaced `useTheme()` hook (from Emotion) with
`useContext(ThemeContext)` where runtime theme values are still needed
(e.g., passing colors to non-CSS props like icon components)
- Removed `@emotion/react` `css` helper usages in favor of Linaria
template literals
### Dependency & Configuration Changes
- **Removed**: `@emotion/react`, `@emotion/styled` from root
`package.json`
- **Added**: `@wyw-in-js/babel-preset`, `next-with-linaria` (for
twenty-website SSR support)
- Updated Nx generator defaults from `@emotion/styled` to
`@linaria/react` in `nx.json`
- Simplified `vite.config.ts` (removed Emotion-specific configuration)
- Updated `twenty-website/next.config.js` to use `next-with-linaria` for
SSR Linaria support
### Storybook & Testing
- Removed `ThemeProvider` from Emotion in Storybook previews
(`twenty-front`, `twenty-sdk`)
- Now relies solely on `ThemeContextProvider` for theme injection
### Documentation
- Removed the temporary `docs/emotion-to-linaria-migration-plan.md`
(migration complete)
- Updated `CLAUDE.md` and `README.md` to reflect Linaria as the styling
stack
- Updated frontend style guide docs across all locales
## How it works
Linaria extracts styles at build time via the `@wyw-in-js/vite` plugin.
All expressions in `styled` template literals must be **statically
evaluable** — no runtime theme objects or closures over component state.
- **Static styles** use `themeCssVariables` which map to CSS custom
properties (`var(--theme-color-x)`)
- **Runtime theme access** (for non-CSS use cases like icon `color`
props) uses `useContext(ThemeContext)` instead of Emotion's `useTheme()`
# Introduction
Allow a consumer call the commands programmatically instead of passing
by the exec
To do so extract from the command definition all the core logic, created
a new error api that allow keeping same error logs granularity than
before
## Usage
```ts
import { authLogin, appUninstall, functionExecute } from 'twenty-sdk/cli';
const result = await authLogin({
apiKey: 'my-key',
apiUrl: 'https://my-twenty.com',
});
if (!result.success) {
throw new Error(result.error);
}
```
## `app:build`
Introduced a new command that will allow building the whole project
without any watch setup
- Build and validate manifest
- Get or create app
- Synchronize manifest with twenty-sdk stub and no typecheck
- generate client
- Run typecheck
- Synchronize manifest again
- Fixes self host application
- add new telemetry information
- add serverId to identify a server instance
- remove .twenty from git tracking
- tree-shake "twenty-sdk" usage in built logic functions and front
components
- fix "twenty-sdk" version usage
- fix twenty-zapier cli

- Add media-specific events
- Extend `iFrame` with missing properties
- Enrich `SerializedEventData` with media-related target fields so
serialized events carry the media element state.
- Refactor the `remote-elements` code generator to support per-element
custom events
## Fix SDK first-run build failure when generated API client is missing
### Problem
When running `twenty app:dev` for the first time, the build pipeline
crashes because:
1. The esbuild front-component watcher tries to resolve
`twenty-sdk/generated`, but the generated API client doesn't exist yet —
it's only created later in the pipeline after syncing with the server.
2. The typecheck plugin (`tsc --noEmit`) runs as a blocking esbuild
`onStart` hook, so even with stub files, type errors on the empty client
classes (e.g. `Property 'query' does not exist on type 'CoreApiClient'`)
cause the build to fail before the real client can be generated.
This creates a chicken-and-egg problem: the watchers need the generated
client to build, but the client is generated after the watchers produce
their output.
### Solution
**1. Stub generated client on startup**
Added `ensureGeneratedClientStub` to `ClientService` that writes minimal
placeholder files (`CoreApiClient`, `MetadataApiClient`) into
`node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated/` if the directory doesn't already
exist. This is called in `DevModeOrchestrator.start()` before any
watchers are created, so the `twenty-sdk/generated` import always
resolves.
**2. Skip typecheck on first sync round**
Made the esbuild typecheck plugin accept a `shouldSkipTypecheck`
callback. The orchestrator starts with `skipTypecheck = true` and passes
`() => this.skipTypecheck` through the watcher chain. After the real API
client is generated, the flag is flipped to `false`, so subsequent
rebuilds enforce full type checking with the real generated types.
## Summary
- **Refactor frontend metadata loading architecture**: Split the
monolithic `EagerMetadataLoadEffect` into focused provider effects
(`UserMetadataProviderEffect`, `ObjectMetadataProviderEffect`,
`ViewMetadataProviderEffect`) orchestrated by `MetadataProviderEffects`.
Replaced `UserProvider` + `ObjectMetadataItemsProvider` with a single
`MetadataGater` that gates rendering on `isAppMetadataReadyState`. The
metadata store now validates view-object consistency before promoting
views, and `updateDraft` skips no-op updates via deep equality checks.
- **SDK CLI improvements**: Added `app:typecheck` command, improved
error handling in API sync (extracts GraphQL error messages), added
`serializeError` utility for human-readable error output, added `error`
file status to dev mode orchestrator with UI support, and fixed
ClickHouse migration/seed commands to use `transpile-only`.
## PR description
- Adds `enqueueSnackbar` to the front component host communication API,
allowing front components to display snack bar notifications (success,
error, info, warning) to the user.
- Introduces `frontComponentId` to the `FrontComponentExecutionContext`
and a `useFrontComponentId` hook, enabling front components to identify
themselves (used for dedupe keys).
- Wires error/success notifications into the `Action`, `ActionLink`, and
`ActionOpenSidePanelPage` SDK components -> actions now catch errors and
display them as snack bars, and `Action` supports an optional
`notifyOnEnd` prop for success feedback.

## Description
- Add `isHeadless` field to `FrontComponent` entity so front components
can run without rendering UI in the command menu
- Introduce headless front component mounting logic:
`HeadlessFrontComponentMountRoot` at the application root,
`useMountHeadlessFrontComponent`, and `useUnmountHeadlessFrontComponent`
hooks to mount/unmount headless components
- Expand the SDK with new action components (`Action`, `ActionLink`,
`ActionOpenSidePanelPage`) and host communication functions
(`openSidePanelPage`, `unmountFrontComponent`)
- Move `CommandMenuPages` type to twenty-shared so the SDK can reference
it for side panel navigation
## Video QA

## Refactor page layout widget types into shared package and expose from
SDK
### Why
Widget configuration types were defined only on the server, forcing SDK
consumer apps to import from deep internal `twenty-shared/dist` paths —
fragile and breaks on structural changes. Server DTOs also had no
compile-time guarantee they matched the canonical types.
### What changed
- **`twenty-shared`**: Migrated `ChartFilter`, `GridPosition`,
`RatioAggregateConfig` and all 20 widget configuration variants into
`twenty-shared/types`. `PageLayoutWidgetConfiguration` (base, with
`SerializedRelation`) and `PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration`
(derived via `FormatRecordSerializedRelationProperties`) are now the
single source of truth.
- **`twenty-sdk`**: Re-exported `AggregateOperations`,
`ObjectRecordGroupByDateGranularity`, `PageLayoutTabLayoutMode`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetUniversalConfiguration` so consumer apps import from
`twenty-sdk` directly.
- **`twenty-server`**: All widget DTOs now `implements` their shared
type for compile-time enforcement. Added helpers to convert nested
`fieldMetadataId` ↔ `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` inside chart
filters. Removed redundant local type re-exports.
Updating rich app so it also create:
- a many to many relation
- views
- navigation items
The app was built successfully.
Will still be missing front component examples

## Sync page layouts, tabs, and widgets
Adds the ability for SDK applications to synchronize `pageLayout`,
`pageLayoutTab`, and `pageLayoutWidget` entities, following the same
pattern established in #18003 for views and navigation menu items.
### Changes
**`twenty-shared`**
- New `PageLayoutManifest`, `PageLayoutTabManifest`, and
`PageLayoutWidgetManifest` types with a hierarchical structure (page
layout → tabs → widgets)
- Added `pageLayouts: PageLayoutManifest[]` to the `Manifest` type
**`twenty-sdk`**
- New `definePageLayout()` SDK function with validation for
universalIdentifier, name, and nested tabs/widgets
- Wired into the manifest extraction and build pipeline
(`DefinePageLayout` target function, `PageLayouts` entity key)
- Exported from the SDK entry point
**`twenty-server`**
- Added `pageLayout`, `pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget` to
`APPLICATION_MANIFEST_METADATA_NAMES`
- New conversion utilities: manifest → universal flat entity for all
three entity types
- Updated `computeApplicationManifestAllUniversalFlatEntity
- add a new optional key `postInstallLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier`
in applicationConfig
- seed postInstall function in create-twenty-app
- update execute:function options
- update doc
## Summary
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e75cc9d-d9d2-4ef2-99f9-34450f5d8de7
Add background incremental type checking (`tsc --watch`) to the SDK dev
mode, so type regressions are caught when the generated API client
changes — without requiring a full rebuild of source files.
Previously, removing a field from the data model would regenerate the
API client, but existing front components/logic functions referencing
the removed field wouldn't surface type errors (since their source
didn't change, esbuild wouldn't rebuild them).
## What changed
- **Background `tsc --watch`**: a long-lived TypeScript watcher runs
alongside esbuild watchers, incrementally re-checking all files when the
generated client changes. Only logs on state transitions (errors appear
/ errors clear) to stay quiet.
- **Atomic client generation**: API client is now generated into a temp
directory and swapped in atomically, avoiding a race condition where
`tsc --watch` could see an empty `generated/` directory
mid-regeneration.
- **Step decoupling**: orchestrator steps no longer receive
`uploadFilesStep` directly. Instead, they use callbacks (`onFileBuilt`,
`onApiClientGenerated`), and each step manages its own `builtFileInfos`
state.
- **`apiClientChecksum` omitted from `ApplicationConfig`**: it's a
build-time computed value, same as `packageJsonChecksum`.

## Add API client generation to SDK dev mode and refactor orchestrator
into step-based pipeline
### Why
The SDK dev mode lacked typed API client generation, forcing developers
to work without auto-generated GraphQL types when building applications.
Additionally, the orchestrator was a monolithic class that mixed watcher
management, token handling, and sync logic — making it difficult to
extend with new steps like client generation.
### How
- **Refactored the orchestrator** into a step-based pipeline with
dedicated classes: `CheckServer`, `EnsureValidTokens`,
`ResolveApplication`, `BuildManifest`, `UploadFiles`,
`GenerateApiClient`, `SyncApplication`, and `StartWatchers`. Each step
has typed input/output/status, managed by a new `OrchestratorState`
class.
- **Added `GenerateApiClientOrchestratorStep`** that detects
object/field schema changes and regenerates a typed GraphQL client (via
`@genql/cli`) into `node_modules/twenty-sdk/generated` for seamless
imports.
- **Replaced `checkApplicationExist`** with `findOneApplication` on both
server resolver and SDK API service, returning the entity data instead
of a boolean.
- **Added application token pair mutations**
(`generateApplicationToken`, `renewApplicationToken`) to the API
service, with the server now returning `ApplicationTokenPairDTO`
containing both access and refresh tokens.
- **Restructured the dev UI** into `dev/ui/components/` with dedicated
panel, section, and event log components.
- **Simplified `AppDevCommand`** from ~180 lines of watcher management
down to ~40 lines that delegate entirely to the orchestrator.
