Charles Bochet 257f130fff feat(sdk): let docker:start choose the server version (#21690)
## What

Makes `yarn twenty docker:start` version-selectable. Same core feature
as #21686 — but here scaffolded apps default to `latest` (pinning is
**opt-in**) rather than being pinned to the scaffolder's version.

> Alternative to #21686. Pick one; the difference is only the scaffolded
default.

Two layers of resolution:

1. **Explicit flag** — `yarn twenty docker:start [version]`, mirroring
the existing `docker:upgrade [version]`.
2. **App-pinned default** — when no version is passed, `docker:start`
reads `twenty.serverVersion` from the app's `package.json`, falling back
to `latest`.

Generated apps ship `twenty.serverVersion: "latest"`, so default
behavior is unchanged. To make the local server reproducible as code,
set a version:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "twenty": {
    "serverVersion": "2.2.0"
  }
}
```

## Changes

- `twenty-sdk`: new `getAppServerVersion()` util reads
`twenty.serverVersion` from the cwd's `package.json`; `serverStart`
gains a `version` option and resolves `option → app pin → latest`,
building the image via `getImageForVersion()`; `docker:start [version]`
(and the deprecated `server start [version]` alias) wired up.
- `create-twenty-app`: template `package.json` ships
`twenty.serverVersion: "latest"`. (`create-app` and the scaffolder are
otherwise untouched.)
- Docs: `local-server.mdx` documents version selection and the opt-in
pin.

## Behavior notes

- Default with no pin and no flag is `latest` — same as today.
- Version only matters when **creating** a fresh container — an existing
container keeps its image until `docker:upgrade` / `docker:reset`.

## Testing

- New unit tests for `getAppServerVersion` (5 cases).
- Extended the `app-template` scaffolding test to assert the `latest`
default.
- `twenty-sdk` cli vitest suite (273) and `create-twenty-app` jest suite
(9) pass; oxlint + oxfmt clean on changed files.

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-twenty-app
cd my-twenty-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).
