title: 构建应用
description: 使用 Twenty SDK 定义对象、逻辑函数、前端组件等。
---
<Warning>
应用目前处于 Alpha 阶段。 该功能可用,但仍在演进中。
</Warning>
`twenty-sdk` 包提供类型化的构建块,用于创建你的应用。 本页涵盖 SDK 中可用的所有实体类型和 API 客户端。
## DefineEntity 函数
SDK 提供用于定义你的应用实体的函数。 你必须使用 `export default defineEntity({...})`,这样 SDK 才能检测到你的实体。 这些函数会在构建时校验你的配置,并提供 IDE 自动补全和类型安全。
<Note>
**文件组织由你决定。**
实体检测基于 AST——无论文件位于何处,SDK 都能找到 `export default defineEntity(...)` 的调用。 按类型对文件分组(例如 `logic-functions/`、`roles/`)只是代码组织的一种约定,并非必需。

},
],
permissionFlags: [PermissionFlag.APPLICATIONS],
});
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineApplication" description="配置应用元数据(必需,每个应用一个)">
每个应用必须且只能有一个 `defineApplication` 调用,用于描述:
* **应用的身份**:标识符、显示名称和描述。
* **权限**:其函数和前端组件所使用的角色。
* **(可选)变量**:以环境变量形式提供给函数的键值对。
* **(可选)安装前/安装后函数**:在安装之前或之后运行的逻辑函数。
```ts src/application-config.ts
import { defineApplication } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { DEFAULT_ROLE_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from 'src/roles/default-role';
export default defineApplication({
universalIdentifier: '4ec0391d-18d5-411c-b2f3-266ddc1c3ef7',
displayName: 'My Twenty App',
description: 'My first Twenty app',
icon: 'IconWorld',
applicationVariables: {
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NAME: {
universalIdentifier: '19e94e59-d4fe-4251-8981-b96d0a9f74de',
description: 'Default recipient name for postcards',
value: 'Jane Doe',
isSecret: false,
},
},
defaultRoleUniversalIdentifier: DEFAULT_ROLE_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
});
```
备注:
* `universalIdentifier` 字段是你拥有的确定性 ID。 只需生成一次,并在多次同步过程中保持稳定不变。
* `applicationVariables` 会变成你的函数和前端组件可用的环境变量(例如,`DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NAME` 可作为 `process.env.DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NAME` 使用)。
* `defaultRoleUniversalIdentifier` 必须引用使用 `defineRole()` 定义的角色(见上文)。
* 在构建清单时会自动检测安装前/安装后函数——无需在 `defineApplication()` 中引用它们。
#### 应用市场元数据
如果你计划[发布你的应用](/l/zh/developers/extend/apps/publishing),这些可选字段将控制你的应用在应用市场中的展示:
| 字段 | 描述 |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `作者` | 作者或公司名称 |
| `类别` | 用于应用市场筛选的应用类别 |
| `logoUrl` | 应用徽标的路径(例如 `public/logo.png` |
| `screenshots` | 截图路径数组(例如 `public/screenshot-1.png` |
| `aboutDescription` | 用于“关于”选项卡的更长的 Markdown 描述。 如果省略,市场将使用该软件包在 npm 上的 `README.md`。 |
| `websiteUrl` | 你的网站链接 |
| `termsUrl` | 服务条款链接 |
| `emailSupport` | 支持电子邮件地址 |
| `issueReportUrl` | 问题跟踪器链接 |
#### 角色和权限
`application-config.ts` 中的 `defaultRoleUniversalIdentifier` 字段指定你的应用的逻辑函数和前端组件所使用的默认角色。 详见上文的 `defineRole`。
* 作为 `TWENTY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN` 注入的运行时令牌来源于该角色。
* 类型化客户端将受限于该角色授予的权限。
* 遵循最小权限原则:创建一个仅包含你的函数所需权限的专用角色。
##### 默认函数角色
当你使用脚手架创建新应用时,CLI 会创建一个默认角色文件:
```ts src/roles/default-role.ts
import { defineRole, PermissionFlag } from 'twenty-sdk';
export const DEFAULT_ROLE_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER =
'b648f87b-1d26-4961-b974-0908fd991061';
export default defineRole({
universalIdentifier: DEFAULT_ROLE_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
label: 'Default function role',
description: 'Default role for function Twenty client',
canReadAllObjectRecords: true,
canUpdateAllObjectRecords: false,
canSoftDeleteAllObjectRecords: false,
canDestroyAllObjectRecords: false,
canUpdateAllSettings: false,
canBeAssignedToAgents: false,
canBeAssignedToUsers: false,
canBeAssignedToApiKeys: false,
objectPermissions: [],
fieldPermissions: [],
permissionFlags: [],
});
```
该角色的 `universalIdentifier` 会在 `application-config.ts` 中被引用为 `defaultRoleUniversalIdentifier`
* **\*.role.ts** 定义该角色可以执行的操作。
* **application-config.ts** 指向该角色,使你的函数继承其权限。
备注:
* 从脚手架生成的角色开始,然后按照最小权限原则逐步收紧权限。
* 将 `objectPermissions` 和 `fieldPermissions` 替换为你的函数所需的对象/字段。
* `permissionFlags` 控制对平台级能力的访问。 尽量保持最小化。
* 查看一个可运行示例:[`hello-world/src/roles/function-role.ts`](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/blob/main/packages/twenty-apps/hello-world/src/roles/function-role.ts)。
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineObject" description="定义带字段的自定义对象">
自定义对象同时描述工作空间中记录的架构与行为。 使用 `defineObject()` 以内置校验定义对象:
```ts postCard.object.ts
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk';
enum PostCardStatus {
DRAFT = 'DRAFT',
SENT = 'SENT',
DELIVERED = 'DELIVERED',
RETURNED = 'RETURNED',
}
export default defineObject({
universalIdentifier: '54b589ca-eeed-4950-a176-358418b85c05',
nameSingular: 'postCard',
namePlural: 'postCards',
labelSingular: 'Post Card',
labelPlural: 'Post Cards',
description: 'A post card object',
icon: 'IconMail',
fields: [
{
universalIdentifier: '58a0a314-d7ea-4865-9850-7fb84e72f30b',
name: 'content',
type: FieldType.TEXT,
label: 'Content',
description: "Postcard's content",
icon: 'IconAbc',
},
{
universalIdentifier: 'c6aa31f3-da76-4ac6-889f-475e226009ac',
name: 'recipientName',
type: FieldType.FULL_NAME,
label: 'Recipient name',
icon: 'IconUser',
},
{
universalIdentifier: '95045777-a0ad-49ec-98f9-22f9fc0c8266',
name: 'recipientAddress',
type: FieldType.ADDRESS,
label: 'Recipient address',
icon: 'IconHome',
},
{
universalIdentifier: '87b675b8-dd8c-4448-b4ca-20e5a2234a1e',
name: 'status',
type: FieldType.SELECT,
label: 'Status',
icon: 'IconSend',
defaultValue: `'${PostCardStatus.DRAFT}'`,
options: [
{ value: PostCardStatus.DRAFT, label: 'Draft', position: 0, color: 'gray' },
{ value: PostCardStatus.SENT, label: 'Sent', position: 1, color: 'orange' },
{ value: PostCardStatus.DELIVERED, label: 'Delivered', position: 2, color: 'green' },
{ value: PostCardStatus.RETURNED, label: 'Returned', position: 3, color: 'orange' },
],
},
{
universalIdentifier: 'e06abe72-5b44-4e7f-93be-afc185a3c433',
name: 'deliveredAt',
type: FieldType.DATE_TIME,
label: 'Delivered at',
icon: 'IconCheck',
isNullable: true,
defaultValue: null,
},
],
});
```
关键点:
* 使用 `defineObject()` 以获得内置校验和更好的 IDE 支持。
* `universalIdentifier` 必须在各次部署间保持唯一且稳定。
* 每个字段都需要 `name`、`type`、`label` 以及其自身稳定的 `universalIdentifier`。
* `fields` 数组是可选的——你可以定义没有自定义字段的对象。
* 你可以使用 `yarn twenty add` 脚手架创建新对象,它会引导你完成命名、字段和关系。
<Note>
**基础字段会自动创建。** 当你定义自定义对象时,Twenty 会自动添加标准字段
例如 `id`、`name`、`createdAt`、`updatedAt`、`createdBy`、`updatedBy` 和 `deletedAt`。
你无需在 `fields` 数组中定义这些字段——只需添加你的自定义字段。
你可以通过在你的 `fields` 数组中定义一个同名字段来覆盖默认字段,
但不建议这样做。
</Note>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineField — 标准字段" description="为现有对象扩展额外字段">
使用 `defineField()` 向你不拥有的对象添加字段——例如标准的 Twenty 对象(Person、Company 等)。 或来自其他应用的对象。 与在 `defineObject()` 中的内联字段不同,独立字段需要一个 `objectUniversalIdentifier` 来指定它们要扩展的对象:
```ts src/fields/company-loyalty-tier.field.ts
import { defineField, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk';
export default defineField({
universalIdentifier: 'f2a1b3c4-d5e6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890',
objectUniversalIdentifier: '701aecb9-eb1c-4d84-9d94-b954b231b64b', // Company object
name: 'loyaltyTier',
type: FieldType.SELECT,
label: 'Loyalty Tier',
icon: 'IconStar',
options: [
{ value: 'BRONZE', label: 'Bronze', position: 0, color: 'orange' },
{ value: 'SILVER', label: 'Silver', position: 1, color: 'gray' },
{ value: 'GOLD', label: 'Gold', position: 2, color: 'yellow' },
],
});
```
关键点:
* `objectUniversalIdentifier` 用于标识目标对象。 对于标准对象,请使用从 `twenty-sdk` 导出的 `STANDARD_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIERS`。
* 在 `defineObject()` 中以内联方式定义字段时,你不需要 `objectUniversalIdentifier`——它会从父对象继承。
* `defineField()` 是为非通过 `defineObject()` 创建的对象添加字段的唯一方式。
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineField — 关联字段" description="使用双向关系将对象连接在一起">
关系用于将对象彼此连接。 在 Twenty 中,关系始终是双向的——你需要定义两侧,每一侧都引用另一侧。
关系有两种类型:
| 关系类型 | 描述 | 是否有外键? |
| ------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| `MANY_TO_ONE` | 该对象的多条记录指向目标对象的一条记录 | 是(`joinColumnName` |
| `ONE_TO_MANY` | 该对象的一条记录拥有目标对象的多条记录 | 否(反向侧) |
#### 关系如何工作
每个关系都需要两个相互引用的字段:
1. **MANY_TO_ONE** 侧——位于持有外键的对象上
2. **ONE_TO_MANY** 侧——位于拥有集合的对象上
两个字段都使用 `FieldType.RELATION`,并通过 `relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` 相互交叉引用。
#### 示例:Post Card 拥有多个收件人
假设一个 `PostCard` 可以发送到多个 `PostCardRecipient` 记录。 每个收件人只隶属于一张 Post Card。
**步骤 1:在 PostCard 上定义 ONE_TO_MANY 侧**(“一”侧):
```ts src/fields/post-card-recipients-on-post-card.field.ts
import { defineField, FieldType, RelationType } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { POST_CARD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/post-card.object';
import { POST_CARD_RECIPIENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/post-card-recipient.object';
// Export so the other side can reference it
export const POST_CARD_RECIPIENTS_FIELD_ID = 'a1111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111';
// Import from the other side
import { POST_CARD_FIELD_ID } from './post-card-on-post-card-recipient.field';
export default defineField({
universalIdentifier: POST_CARD_RECIPIENTS_FIELD_ID,
objectUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
type: FieldType.RELATION,
name: 'postCardRecipients',
label: 'Post Card Recipients',
icon: 'IconUsers',
relationTargetObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_RECIPIENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_FIELD_ID,
universalSettings: {
relationType: RelationType.ONE_TO_MANY,
},
});
```
**步骤 2:在 PostCardRecipient 上定义 MANY_TO_ONE 侧**(“多”侧——持有外键):
```ts src/fields/post-card-on-post-card-recipient.field.ts
import { defineField, FieldType, RelationType, OnDeleteAction } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { POST_CARD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/post-card.object';
import { POST_CARD_RECIPIENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/post-card-recipient.object';
// Export so the other side can reference it
export const POST_CARD_FIELD_ID = 'b2222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222';
// Import from the other side
import { POST_CARD_RECIPIENTS_FIELD_ID } from './post-card-recipients-on-post-card.field';
export default defineField({
universalIdentifier: POST_CARD_FIELD_ID,
objectUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_RECIPIENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
type: FieldType.RELATION,
name: 'postCard',
label: 'Post Card',
icon: 'IconMail',
relationTargetObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_RECIPIENTS_FIELD_ID,
universalSettings: {
relationType: RelationType.MANY_TO_ONE,
onDelete: OnDeleteAction.CASCADE,
joinColumnName: 'postCardId',
},
});
```
<Note>
\*\*循环导入:\*\*两个关系字段相互引用彼此的 `universalIdentifier`。 为避免循环导入问题,请在各自文件中将字段 ID 作为具名常量导出,并在另一个文件中导入它们。 构建系统会在编译时解析这些引用。
</Note>
#### 与标准对象建立关系
要与内置的 Twenty 对象(Person、Company 等)建立关系,请使用 `STANDARD_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIERS`
```ts src/fields/person-on-self-hosting-user.field.ts
import {
defineField,
FieldType,
RelationType,
OnDeleteAction,
STANDARD_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIERS,
} from 'twenty-sdk';
import { SELF_HOSTING_USER_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/self-hosting-user.object';
export const PERSON_FIELD_ID = 'c3333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333';
export const SELF_HOSTING_USER_REVERSE_FIELD_ID = 'd4444444-4444-4444-4444-444444444444';
export default defineField({
universalIdentifier: PERSON_FIELD_ID,
objectUniversalIdentifier: SELF_HOSTING_USER_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
type: FieldType.RELATION,
name: 'person',
label: 'Person',
description: 'Person matching with the self hosting user',
isNullable: true,
relationTargetObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier:
STANDARD_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIERS.person.universalIdentifier,
relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: SELF_HOSTING_USER_REVERSE_FIELD_ID,
universalSettings: {
relationType: RelationType.MANY_TO_ONE,
onDelete: OnDeleteAction.SET_NULL,
joinColumnName: 'personId',
},
});
```
#### 关系字段属性
| 属性 | 必填 | 描述 |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `类型` | 是 | 必须为 `FieldType.RELATION` |
| `relationTargetObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier` | 是 | 目标对象的 `universalIdentifier` |
| `relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` | 是 | 目标对象上匹配字段的 `universalIdentifier` |
| `universalSettings.relationType` | 是 | `RelationType.MANY_TO_ONE` 或 `RelationType.ONE_TO_MANY` |
| `universalSettings.onDelete` | 仅适用于 MANY_TO_ONE | 当被引用的记录被删除时的处理方式:`CASCADE`、`SET_NULL`、`RESTRICT` 或 `NO_ACTION` |
| `universalSettings.joinColumnName` | 仅适用于 MANY_TO_ONE | 外键的数据库列名(例如,`postCardId` |
#### 在 defineObject 中内联关系字段
你也可以直接在 `defineObject()` 内定义关系字段。 在这种情况下,省略 `objectUniversalIdentifier`——它会从父对象继承:
```ts
export default defineObject({
universalIdentifier: '...',
nameSingular: 'postCardRecipient',
// ...
fields: [
{
universalIdentifier: POST_CARD_FIELD_ID,
type: FieldType.RELATION,
name: 'postCard',
label: 'Post Card',
relationTargetObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: POST_CARD_RECIPIENTS_FIELD_ID,
universalSettings: {
relationType: RelationType.MANY_TO_ONE,
onDelete: OnDeleteAction.CASCADE,
joinColumnName: 'postCardId',
},
},
// ... other fields
],
});
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineLogicFunction" description="定义逻辑函数及其触发器">
每个函数文件都使用 `defineLogicFunction()` 导出包含处理程序和可选触发器的配置。
```ts src/logic-functions/createPostCard.logic-function.ts
import { defineLogicFunction } from 'twenty-sdk';
import type { DatabaseEventPayload, ObjectRecordCreateEvent, CronPayload, RoutePayload } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { CoreApiClient, type Person } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
const handler = async (params: RoutePayload) => {
const client = new CoreApiClient();
const name = 'name' in params.queryStringParameters
? params.queryStringParameters.name ?? process.env.DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NAME ?? 'Hello world'
: 'Hello world';
const result = await client.mutation({
createPostCard: {
__args: { data: { name } },
id: true,
name: true,
},
});
return result;
};
export default defineLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf',
name: 'create-new-post-card',
timeoutSeconds: 2,
handler,
httpRouteTriggerSettings: {
path: '/post-card/create',
httpMethod: 'GET',
isAuthRequired: false,
},
/*databaseEventTriggerSettings: {
eventName: 'people.created',
},*/
/*cronTriggerSettings: {
pattern: '0 0 1 1 *',
},*/
});
```
可用的触发器类型:
* **httpRoute**:在 **`/s/` 端点**下通过 HTTP 路径和方法公开你的函数:
> 例如 `path: '/post-card/create'` 可在 `https://your-twenty-server.com/s/post-card/create` 调用
* **cron**:使用 CRON 表达式按计划运行你的函数。
* **databaseEvent**:在工作空间对象生命周期事件上运行。 当事件操作为 `updated` 时,可以在 `updatedFields` 数组中指定要监听的特定字段。 如果未定义或为空,任何更新都会触发该函数。
> 例如 `person.updated`、`*.created`、`company.*`
<Note>
你也可以使用 CLI 手动执行函数:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty exec -n create-new-post-card -p '{"key": "value"}'
```
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty exec -y e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
```
你可以通过以下方式查看日志:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty logs
```
</Note>
#### 路由触发器负载
当路由触发器调用你的逻辑函数时,它会接收一个遵循
[AWS HTTP API v2 格式](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-develop-integrations-lambda.html)的 `RoutePayload` 对象。
从 `twenty-sdk` 导入 `RoutePayload` 类型:
```ts
import { defineLogicFunction, type RoutePayload } from 'twenty-sdk';
const handler = async (event: RoutePayload) => {
const { headers, queryStringParameters, pathParameters, body } = event;
const { method, path } = event.requestContext.http;
return { message: 'Success' };
};
```
`RoutePayload` 类型具有以下结构:
| 属性 | 类型 | 描述 | 示例 |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `headers` | `Record<string, string \| undefined>` | HTTP 请求头(仅限 `forwardedRequestHeaders` 中列出的那些) | 见下文 |
| `queryStringParameters` | `Record<string, string \| undefined>` | 查询字符串参数(多个值以逗号连接) | `/users?ids=1&ids=2&ids=3&name=Alice` -> `{ ids: '1,2,3', name: 'Alice' }` |
| `pathParameters` | `Record<string, string \| undefined>` | 从路由模式中提取的路径参数 | `/users/:id``/users/123` -> `{ id: '123' }` |
| `body` | `object \| null` | 已解析的请求体(JSON) | `{ id: 1 }` -> `{ id: 1 }` |
| `isBase64Encoded` | `boolean` | 请求体是否为 base64 编码 | |
| `requestContext.http.method` | `string` | HTTP 方法(GET、POST、PUT、PATCH、DELETE | |
| `requestContext.http.path` | `string` | 原始请求路径 | |
#### forwardedRequestHeaders
出于安全原因,默认**不会**将传入请求的 HTTP 请求头传递给你的逻辑函数。
如需访问特定请求头,请在 `forwardedRequestHeaders` 数组中显式列出:
```ts
export default defineLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf',
name: 'webhook-handler',
handler,
httpRouteTriggerSettings: {
path: '/webhook',
httpMethod: 'POST',
isAuthRequired: false,
forwardedRequestHeaders: ['x-webhook-signature', 'content-type'],
},
});
```
在你的处理程序中,可以这样访问被转发的请求头:
```ts
const handler = async (event: RoutePayload) => {
const signature = event.headers['x-webhook-signature'];
const contentType = event.headers['content-type'];
// Validate webhook signature...
return { received: true };
};
```
<Note>
请求头名称会被规范化为小写。 请使用小写键访问它们(例如,`event.headers['content-type']`)。
</Note>
#### 将函数作为工具公开
逻辑函数可以作为供 AI 智能体和工作流使用的**工具**对外提供。 当函数被标记为工具时,Twenty 的 AI 功能即可发现它,并可在工作流自动化中使用。
要将逻辑函数标记为工具,请设置 `isTool: true`
```ts src/logic-functions/enrich-company.logic-function.ts
import { defineLogicFunction } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
const handler = async (params: { companyName: string; domain?: string }) => {
const client = new CoreApiClient();
const result = await client.mutation({
createTask: {
__args: {
data: {
title: `Enrich data for ${params.companyName}`,
body: `Domain: ${params.domain ?? 'unknown'}`,
},
},
id: true,
},
});
return { taskId: result.createTask.id };
};
export default defineLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479',
name: 'enrich-company',
description: 'Enrich a company record with external data',
timeoutSeconds: 10,
handler,
isTool: true,
});
```
关键点:
* 你可以将 `isTool` 与触发器结合使用——一个函数既可以作为工具(由 AI 代理调用),也可以同时由事件触发。
* **`toolInputSchema`**(可选):描述函数可接受参数的 JSON Schema 对象。 该模式会通过对源代码的静态分析自动推导,但你也可以显式设置:
```ts
export default defineLogicFunction({
...,
toolInputSchema: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
companyName: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The name of the company to enrich',
},
domain: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The company website domain (optional)',
},
},
required: ['companyName'],
},
});
```
<Note>
**写一个好的 `description`。** AI 代理会依赖该函数的 `description` 字段来决定何时使用该工具。 明确说明该工具的作用以及应在何时调用。
</Note>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="definePreInstallLogicFunction" description="定义一个安装前逻辑函数(每个应用一个)">
安装前函数是在你的应用安装到工作区之前自动运行的逻辑函数。 这对于执行验证任务、先决条件检查,或在主安装开始前准备工作区状态很有用。
```ts src/logic-functions/pre-install.ts
import { definePreInstallLogicFunction, type InstallLogicFunctionPayload } from 'twenty-sdk';
const handler = async (payload: InstallLogicFunctionPayload): Promise<void> => {
console.log('Pre install logic function executed successfully!', payload.previousVersion);
};
export default definePreInstallLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'e0604b9e-e946-456b-886d-3f27d9a6b324',
name: 'pre-install',
description: 'Runs before installation to prepare the application.',
timeoutSeconds: 300,
handler,
});
```
你也可以随时使用 CLI 手动执行安装前函数:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty exec --preInstall
```
关键点:
* 安装前函数使用 `definePreInstallLogicFunction()` —— 这是一个省略触发器设置(`cronTriggerSettings`、`databaseEventTriggerSettings`、`httpRouteTriggerSettings`、`isTool`)的专用变体。
* 处理器会接收一个 `InstallLogicFunctionPayload`,其包含 `{ previousVersion: string }` —— 即之前安装的应用版本(全新安装则为空字符串)。
* 每个应用仅允许一个安装前函数。 如果检测到多个,清单构建将报错。
* 在构建期间,函数的 `universalIdentifier` 会自动设置为应用清单上的 `preInstallLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier` —— 你无需在 `defineApplication()` 中引用它。
* 默认超时时间设置为 300 秒(5 分钟),以便支持更长的准备任务。
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="definePostInstallLogicFunction" description="定义一个安装后逻辑函数(每个应用一个)">
安装后函数是在你的应用安装到工作区后自动运行的逻辑函数。 这对于一次性设置任务很有用,例如填充默认数据、创建初始记录或配置工作区设置。
```ts src/logic-functions/post-install.ts
import { definePostInstallLogicFunction, type InstallLogicFunctionPayload } from 'twenty-sdk';
const handler = async (payload: InstallLogicFunctionPayload): Promise<void> => {
console.log('Post install logic function executed successfully!', payload.previousVersion);
};
export default definePostInstallLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'f7a2b9c1-3d4e-5678-abcd-ef9876543210',
name: 'post-install',
description: 'Runs after installation to set up the application.',
timeoutSeconds: 300,
handler,
});
```
你也可以随时使用 CLI 手动执行安装后函数:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty exec --postInstall
```
关键点:
* 安装后函数使用 `definePostInstallLogicFunction()` —— 这是一个省略触发器设置(`cronTriggerSettings`、`databaseEventTriggerSettings`、`httpRouteTriggerSettings`、`isTool`)的专用变体。
* 处理器会接收一个 `InstallLogicFunctionPayload`,其包含 `{ previousVersion: string }` —— 即之前安装的应用版本(全新安装则为空字符串)。
* 每个应用仅允许一个安装后函数。 如果检测到多个,清单构建将报错。
* 在构建期间,函数的 `universalIdentifier` 会自动设置为应用清单上的 `postInstallLogicFunctionUniversalIdentifier` —— 你无需在 `defineApplication()` 中引用它。
* 默认超时时间设置为 300 秒(5 分钟),以便支持更长的设置任务,如数据填充。

<Accordion title="defineFrontComponent" description="为自定义 UI 定义前端组件">
前端组件是直接在 Twenty 的 UI 内渲染的 React 组件。 它们在使用 Remote DOM 的**隔离 Web Worker**中运行——你的代码在沙盒中执行,但会原生渲染到页面中,而非在 iframe 里。
#### 基础示例
最快体验前端组件运行方式的方法是将其注册为一个**命令**。 添加一个 `command` 字段并设置 `isPinned: true`,即可让它以快速操作按钮的形式出现在页面右上角——无需页面布局:
```tsx src/front-components/hello-world.tsx
import { defineFrontComponent } from 'twenty-sdk';
const HelloWorld = () => {
return (
<div style={{ padding: '20px', fontFamily: 'sans-serif' }}>
<h1>Hello from my app!</h1>
<p>This component renders inside Twenty.</p>
</div>
);
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: '74c526eb-cb68-4cf7-b05c-0dd8c288d948',
name: 'hello-world',
description: 'A simple front component',
component: HelloWorld,
command: {
universalIdentifier: 'd4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-defa-456789012345',
shortLabel: 'Hello',
label: 'Hello World',
icon: 'IconBolt',
isPinned: true,
availabilityType: 'GLOBAL',
},
});
```
使用 `yarn twenty dev` 同步后,快速操作会出现在页面右上角:
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
<img src="/images/docs/developers/extends/apps/quick-action.png" alt="右上角的快速操作按钮" />
</div>
点击它以内联方式渲染该组件。
{/* TODO: add screenshot of the rendered front component */}
#### 配置字段
| 字段 | 必填 | 描述 |
| --------------------- | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `universalIdentifier` | 是 | 该组件的稳定唯一 ID |
| `component` | 是 | 一个 React 组件函数 |
| `name` | 否 | 显示名称 |
| `描述` | 否 | 组件的功能描述 |
| `isHeadless` | 否 | Set to `true` if the component has no visible UI (see below) |
| `命令` | 否 | Register the component as a command (see [command options](#command-options) below) |
#### Placing a front component on a page
Beyond commands, you can embed a front component directly into a record page by adding it as a widget in a **page layout**. See the [definePageLayout](#definepagelayout) section for details.
#### Headless components (`isHeadless: true`)
Headless components render no visible UI but still run React logic. This is useful for **effect components** — components that perform side effects when mounted, such as syncing data, starting a timer, listening to events, or triggering a notification.
```tsx src/front-components/sync-tracker.tsx
import { defineFrontComponent, useRecordId, enqueueSnackbar } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { useEffect } from 'react';
const SyncTracker = () => {
const recordId = useRecordId();
useEffect(() => {
enqueueSnackbar({ message: `Tracking record ${recordId}`, variant: 'info' });
}, [recordId]);
return null;
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'sync-tracker',
description: 'Tracks record views silently',
isHeadless: true,
component: SyncTracker,
});
```
Because the component returns `null`, Twenty skips rendering a container for it — no empty space appears in the layout. The component still has access to all hooks and the host communication API.
#### Accessing runtime context
Inside your component, use SDK hooks to access the current user, record, and component instance:
```tsx src/front-components/record-info.tsx
import {
defineFrontComponent,
useUserId,
useRecordId,
useFrontComponentId,
} from 'twenty-sdk';
const RecordInfo = () => {
const userId = useUserId();
const recordId = useRecordId();
const componentId = useFrontComponentId();
return (
<div>
<p>User: {userId}</p>
<p>Record: {recordId ?? 'No record context'}</p>
<p>Component: {componentId}</p>
</div>
);
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: 'b2c3d4e5-f6a7-8901-bcde-f23456789012',
name: 'record-info',
component: RecordInfo,
});
```
Available hooks:
| 钩子 | Returns | 描述 |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `useUserId()` | `string` or `null` | The current user's ID |
| `useRecordId()` | `string` or `null` | The current record's ID (when placed on a record page) |
| `useFrontComponentId()` | `string` | This component instance's ID |
| `useFrontComponentExecutionContext(selector)` | 因情况而异 | Access the full execution context with a selector function |
#### Host communication API
Front components can trigger navigation, modals, and notifications using functions from `twenty-sdk`:
| 函数 | 描述 |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `navigate(to, params?, queryParams?, options?)` | Navigate to a page in the app |
| `openSidePanelPage(params)` | Open a side panel |
| `closeSidePanel()` | 关闭侧边栏 |
| `openCommandConfirmationModal(params)` | Show a confirmation dialog |
| `enqueueSnackbar(params)` | Show a toast notification |
| `unmountFrontComponent()` | Unmount the component |
| `updateProgress(progress)` | Update a progress indicator |
#### Command options
Adding a `command` field to `defineFrontComponent` registers the component in the command menu (Cmd+K). If `isPinned` is `true`, it also appears as a quick-action button in the top-right corner of the page.
| 字段 | 必填 | 描述 |
| --------------------------------------- | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `universalIdentifier` | 是 | Stable unique ID for the command |
| `标签` | 是 | Full label shown in the command menu (Cmd+K) |
| `shortLabel` | 否 | Shorter label displayed on the pinned quick-action button |
| `图标` | 否 | Icon name displayed next to the label (e.g. `'IconBolt'`, `'IconSend'`) |
| `isPinned` | 否 | When `true`, shows the command as a quick-action button in the top-right corner of the page |
| `availabilityType` | 否 | Controls where the command appears: `'GLOBAL'` (always available), `'RECORD_SELECTION'` (only when records are selected), or `'FALLBACK'` (shown when no other commands match) |
| `availabilityObjectUniversalIdentifier` | 否 | Restrict the command to pages of a specific object type (e.g. only on Company records) |
| `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` | 否 | A boolean expression to dynamically control whether the command is visible (see below) |
#### Conditional availability expressions
The `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` field lets you control when a command is visible based on the current page context. Import typed variables and operators from `twenty-sdk` to build expressions:
```tsx
import {
defineFrontComponent,
pageType,
numberOfSelectedRecords,
objectPermissions,
everyEquals,
isDefined,
} from 'twenty-sdk';
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'bulk-action',
component: BulkAction,
command: {
universalIdentifier: '...',
label: 'Bulk Update',
availabilityType: 'RECORD_SELECTION',
conditionalAvailabilityExpression: everyEquals(
objectPermissions,
'canUpdateObjectRecords',
true,
),
},
});
```
**Context variables** — these represent the current state of the page:
| 变量 | 类型 | 描述 |
| ------------------------------ | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pageType` | `string` | Current page type (e.g. `'RecordIndexPage'`, `'RecordShowPage'`) |
| `isInSidePanel` | `boolean` | Whether the component is rendered in a side panel |
| `numberOfSelectedRecords` | `数字` | Number of currently selected records |
| `isSelectAll` | `boolean` | Whether "select all" is active |
| `selectedRecords` | `array` | The selected record objects |
| `favoriteRecordIds` | `array` | IDs of favorited records |
| `objectPermissions` | `对象` | Permissions for the current object type |
| `targetObjectReadPermissions` | `对象` | Read permissions for the target object |
| `targetObjectWritePermissions` | `对象` | Write permissions for the target object |
| `featureFlags` | `对象` | Active feature flags |
| `objectMetadataItem` | `对象` | Metadata of the current object type |
| `hasAnySoftDeleteFilterOnView` | `boolean` | Whether the current view has a soft-delete filter |
**Operators** — combine variables into boolean expressions:
| Operator | 描述 |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `isDefined(value)` | `true` if the value is not null/undefined |
| `isNonEmptyString(value)` | `true` if the value is a non-empty string |
| `includes(array, value)` | `true` if the array contains the value |
| `includesEvery(array, prop, value)` | `true` if every item's property includes the value |
| `every(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is truthy on every item |
| `everyDefined(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is defined on every item |
| `everyEquals(array, prop, value)` | `true` if the property equals the value on every item |
| `some(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is truthy on at least one item |
| `someDefined(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is defined on at least one item |
| `someEquals(array, prop, value)` | `true` if the property equals the value on at least one item |
| `someNonEmptyString(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is a non-empty string on at least one item |
| `none(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is falsy on every item |
| `noneDefined(array, prop)` | `true` if the property is undefined on every item |
| `noneEquals(array, prop, value)` | `true` if the property does not equal the value on any item |
#### Public assets
Front components can access files from the app's `public/` directory using `getPublicAssetUrl`:
```tsx
import { defineFrontComponent, getPublicAssetUrl } from 'twenty-sdk';
const Logo = () => <img src={getPublicAssetUrl('logo.png')} alt="Logo" />;
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'logo',
component: Logo,
});
```
See the [public assets section](#accessing-public-assets-with-getpublicasseturl) for details.
#### 样式
Front components support multiple styling approaches. You can use:
* **Inline styles** — `style={{ color: 'red' }}`
* **Twenty UI components** — import from `twenty-sdk/ui` (Button, Tag, Status, Chip, Avatar, and more)
* **Emotion** — CSS-in-JS with `@emotion/react`
* **Styled-components** — `styled.div` patterns
* **Tailwind CSS** — utility classes
* **Any CSS-in-JS library** compatible with React
```tsx
import { defineFrontComponent } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { Button, Tag, Status } from 'twenty-sdk/ui';
const StyledWidget = () => {
return (
<div style={{ padding: '16px', display: 'flex', gap: '8px' }}>
<Button title="Click me" onClick={() => alert('Clicked!')} />
<Tag text="Active" color="green" />
<Status color="green" text="Online" />
</div>
);
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: 'e5f6a7b8-c9d0-1234-efab-567890123456',
name: 'styled-widget',
component: StyledWidget,
});
```

<Accordion title="defineSkill" description="定义 AI 智能体技能">
技能定义了可复用的指令和能力,AI 智能体可在你的工作区中使用。 使用 `defineSkill()` 定义带内置校验的技能:
```ts src/skills/example-skill.ts
import { defineSkill } from 'twenty-sdk';
export default defineSkill({
universalIdentifier: 'a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890',
name: 'sales-outreach',
label: 'Sales Outreach',
description: 'Guides the AI agent through a structured sales outreach process',
icon: 'IconBrain',
content: `You are a sales outreach assistant. When reaching out to a prospect:
1. Research the company and recent news
2. Identify the prospect's role and likely pain points
3. Draft a personalized message referencing specific details
4. Keep the tone professional but conversational`,
});
```
关键点:
* `name` 是该技能的唯一标识字符串(推荐使用 kebab-case)。
* `label` 是在 UI 中显示的人类可读名称。
* `content` 包含技能指令——这是 AI 智能体使用的文本。
* `icon`(可选)设置在 UI 中显示的图标。
* `description`(可选)提供有关技能用途的更多上下文。
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineAgent" description="Define AI agents with custom prompts">
Agents are AI assistants that live inside your workspace. Use `defineAgent()` to create agents with a custom system prompt:
```ts src/agents/example-agent.ts
import { defineAgent } from 'twenty-sdk';
export default defineAgent({
universalIdentifier: 'b3c4d5e6-f7a8-9012-bcde-f34567890123',
name: 'sales-assistant',
label: 'Sales Assistant',
description: 'Helps the sales team draft outreach emails and research prospects',
icon: 'IconRobot',
prompt: 'You are a helpful sales assistant. Help users with their questions and tasks.',
});
```
关键点:
* `name` is the unique identifier string for the agent (kebab-case recommended).
* `label` is the display name shown in the UI.
* `prompt` is the system prompt that defines the agent's behavior.
* `description` (optional) provides context about what the agent does.
* `icon`(可选)设置在 UI 中显示的图标。
* `modelId` (optional) overrides the default AI model used by the agent.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineView" description="为对象定义已保存的视图">
Views are saved configurations for how records of an object are displayed — including which fields are visible, their order, and any filters or groups applied. Use `defineView()` to ship pre-configured views with your app:
```ts src/views/example-view.ts
import { defineView, ViewKey } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/example-object';
import { NAME_FIELD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/example-object';
export default defineView({
universalIdentifier: 'a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890',
name: 'All example items',
objectUniversalIdentifier: EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
icon: 'IconList',
key: ViewKey.INDEX,
position: 0,
fields: [
{
universalIdentifier: 'f926bdb7-6af7-4683-9a09-adbca56c29f0',
fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: NAME_FIELD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
position: 0,
isVisible: true,
size: 200,
},
],
});
```
关键点:
* `objectUniversalIdentifier` specifies which object this view applies to.
* `key` determines the view type (e.g., `ViewKey.INDEX` for the main list view).
* `fields` controls which columns appear and their order. Each field references a `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`.
* You can also define `filters`, `filterGroups`, `groups`, and `fieldGroups` for more advanced configurations.
* `position` controls the ordering when multiple views exist for the same object.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="defineNavigationMenuItem" description="定义侧边栏导航链接">
Navigation menu items add custom entries to the workspace sidebar. Use `defineNavigationMenuItem()` to link to views, external URLs, or objects:
```ts src/navigation-menu-items/example-navigation-menu-item.ts
import { defineNavigationMenuItem, NavigationMenuItemType } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { EXAMPLE_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../views/example-view';
export default defineNavigationMenuItem({
universalIdentifier: '9327db91-afa1-41b6-bd9d-2b51a26efb4c',
name: 'example-navigation-menu-item',
icon: 'IconList',
color: 'blue',
position: 0,
type: NavigationMenuItemType.VIEW,
viewUniversalIdentifier: EXAMPLE_VIEW_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
});
```
关键点:
* `type` determines what the menu item links to: `NavigationMenuItemType.VIEW` for a saved view, or `NavigationMenuItemType.LINK` for an external URL.
* For view links, set `viewUniversalIdentifier`. For external links, set `link`.
* `position` controls the ordering in the sidebar.
* `icon` and `color` (optional) customize the appearance.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="definePageLayout" description="Define custom page layouts for record views">
Page layouts let you customize how a record detail page looks — which tabs appear, what widgets are inside each tab, and how they are arranged. Use `definePageLayout()` to ship custom layouts with your app:
```ts src/page-layouts/example-record-page-layout.ts
import { definePageLayout, PageLayoutTabLayoutMode } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/example-object';
import { HELLO_WORLD_FRONT_COMPONENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../front-components/hello-world';
export default definePageLayout({
universalIdentifier: '203aeb94-6701-46d6-9af1-be2bbcc9e134',
name: 'Example Record Page',
type: 'RECORD_PAGE',
objectUniversalIdentifier: EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
tabs: [
{
universalIdentifier: '6ed26b60-a51d-4ad7-86dd-1c04c7f3cac5',
title: 'Hello World',
position: 50,
icon: 'IconWorld',
layoutMode: PageLayoutTabLayoutMode.CANVAS,
widgets: [
{
universalIdentifier: 'aa4234e0-2e5f-4c02-a96a-573449e2351d',
title: 'Hello World',
type: 'FRONT_COMPONENT',
configuration: {
configurationType: 'FRONT_COMPONENT',
frontComponentUniversalIdentifier:
HELLO_WORLD_FRONT_COMPONENT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
},
},
],
},
],
});
```
关键点:
* `type` is typically `'RECORD_PAGE'` to customize the detail view of a specific object.
* `objectUniversalIdentifier` specifies which object this layout applies to.
* Each `tab` defines a section of the page with a `title`, `position`, and `layoutMode` (`CANVAS` for free-form layout).
* Each `widget` inside a tab can render a front component, a relation list, or other built-in widget types.
* `position` on tabs controls their order. Use higher values (e.g., 50) to place custom tabs after built-in ones.
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
## Public assets (`public/` folder)
The `public/` folder at the root of your app holds static files — images, icons, fonts, or any other assets your app needs at runtime. These files are automatically included in builds, synced during dev mode, and uploaded to the server.
Files placed in `public/` are:
* **Publicly accessible** — once synced to the server, assets are served at a public URL. No authentication is needed to access them.
* **Available in front components** — use asset URLs to display images, icons, or any media inside your React components.
* **Available in logic functions** — reference asset URLs in emails, API responses, or any server-side logic.
* **Used for marketplace metadata** — the `logoUrl` and `screenshots` fields in `defineApplication()` reference files from this folder (e.g., `public/logo.png`). These are displayed in the marketplace when your app is published.
* **Auto-synced in dev mode** — when you add, update, or delete a file in `public/`, it is synced to the server automatically. No restart needed.
* **Included in builds** — `yarn twenty build` bundles all public assets into the distribution output.
### Accessing public assets with `getPublicAssetUrl`
Use the `getPublicAssetUrl` helper from `twenty-sdk` to get the full URL of a file in your `public/` directory. It works in both **logic functions** and **front components**.
**In a logic function:**
```ts src/logic-functions/send-invoice.ts
import { defineLogicFunction, getPublicAssetUrl } from 'twenty-sdk';
const handler = async (): Promise<any> => {
const logoUrl = getPublicAssetUrl('logo.png');
const invoiceUrl = getPublicAssetUrl('templates/invoice.png');
// Fetch the file content (no auth required — public endpoint)
const response = await fetch(invoiceUrl);
const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
return { logoUrl, size: buffer.byteLength };
};
export default defineLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: 'a1b2c3d4-...',
name: 'send-invoice',
description: 'Sends an invoice with the app logo',
timeoutSeconds: 10,
handler,
});
```
**In a front component:**
```tsx src/front-components/company-card.tsx
import { defineFrontComponent, getPublicAssetUrl } from 'twenty-sdk';
export default defineFrontComponent(() => {
const logoUrl = getPublicAssetUrl('logo.png');
return <img src={logoUrl} alt="App logo" />;
});
```
The `path` argument is relative to your app's `public/` folder. Both `getPublicAssetUrl('logo.png')` and `getPublicAssetUrl('public/logo.png')` resolve to the same URL — the `public/` prefix is stripped automatically if present.
## Using npm packages
You can install and use any npm package in your app. Both logic functions and front components are bundled with [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/), which inlines all dependencies into the output — no `node_modules` are needed at runtime.
### Installing a package
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn add axios
```
Then import it in your code:
```ts src/logic-functions/fetch-data.ts
import { defineLogicFunction } from 'twenty-sdk';
import axios from 'axios';
const handler = async (): Promise<any> => {
const { data } = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data');
return { data };
};
export default defineLogicFunction({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'fetch-data',
description: 'Fetches data from an external API',
timeoutSeconds: 10,
handler,
});
```
The same works for front components:
```tsx src/front-components/chart.tsx
import { defineFrontComponent } from 'twenty-sdk';
import { format } from 'date-fns';
const DateWidget = () => {
return <p>Today is {format(new Date(), 'MMMM do, yyyy')}</p>;
};
export default defineFrontComponent({
universalIdentifier: '...',
name: 'date-widget',
component: DateWidget,
});
```
### How bundling works
The build step (`yarn twenty dev` or `yarn twenty build`) uses esbuild to produce a single self-contained file per logic function and per front component. All imported packages are inlined into the bundle.
**Logic functions** run in a Node.js environment. Node built-in modules (`fs`, `path`, `crypto`, `http`, etc.) are available and do not need to be installed.
**Front components** run in a Web Worker. Node built-in modules are **not** available — only browser APIs and npm packages that work in a browser environment.
Both environments have `twenty-client-sdk/core` and `twenty-client-sdk/metadata` available as pre-provided modules — these are not bundled but resolved at runtime by the server.
## Scaffolding entities with `yarn twenty add`
Instead of creating entity files by hand, you can use the interactive scaffolder:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty add
```
This prompts you to pick an entity type and walks you through the required fields. It generates a ready-to-use file with a stable `universalIdentifier` and the correct `defineEntity()` call.
You can also pass the entity type directly to skip the first prompt:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty add object
yarn twenty add logicFunction
yarn twenty add frontComponent
```
### Available entity types
| 实体类型 | 命令 | Generated file |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| 对象 | `yarn twenty add object` | `src/objects/<name>.ts` |
| 字段 | `yarn twenty add field` | `src/fields/<name>.ts` |
| Logic function | `yarn twenty add logicFunction` | `src/logic-functions/<name>.ts` |
| Front component | `yarn twenty add frontComponent` | `src/front-components/<name>.tsx` |
| 角色 | `yarn twenty add role` | `src/roles/<name>.ts` |
| 技能 | `yarn twenty add skill` | `src/skills/<name>.ts` |
| 代理 | `yarn twenty add agent` | `src/agents/<name>.ts` |
| 视图 | `yarn twenty add view` | `src/views/<name>.ts` |
| Navigation menu item | `yarn twenty add navigationMenuItem` | `src/navigation-menu-items/<name>.ts` |
| Page layout | `yarn twenty add pageLayout` | `src/page-layouts/<name>.ts` |
### What the scaffolder generates
Each entity type has its own template. For example, `yarn twenty add object` asks for:
1. **Name (singular)** — e.g., `invoice`
2. **Name (plural)** — e.g., `invoices`
3. **Label (singular)** — auto-populated from the name (e.g., `Invoice`)
4. **Label (plural)** — auto-populated (e.g., `Invoices`)
5. **Create a view and navigation item?** — if you answer yes, the scaffolder also generates a matching view and sidebar link for the new object.
Other entity types have simpler prompts — most only ask for a name.
The `field` entity type is more detailed: it asks for the field name, label, type (from a list of all available field types like `TEXT`, `NUMBER`, `SELECT`, `RELATION`, etc.), and the target object's `universalIdentifier`.
### Custom output path
Use the `--path` flag to place the generated file in a custom location:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty add logicFunction --path src/custom-folder
```
## Typed API clients (twenty-client-sdk)
The `twenty-client-sdk` package provides two typed GraphQL clients for interacting with the Twenty API from your logic functions and front components.
| 客户端 | 导入 | 端点 | 是否生成? |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------ | --------- |
| `CoreApiClient` | `twenty-client-sdk/core` | `/graphql`——工作区数据(记录、对象) | 是,在开发/构建时 |
| `MetadataApiClient` | `twenty-client-sdk/metadata` | `/metadata`——工作区配置、文件上传 | 否,已预构建提供 |
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="CoreApiClient" description="Query and mutate workspace data (records, objects)">
`CoreApiClient` 是用于查询和变更工作区数据的主要客户端。 It is **generated from your workspace schema** during `yarn twenty dev` or `yarn twenty build`, so it is fully typed to match your objects and fields.
```ts
import { CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
const client = new CoreApiClient();
// Query records
const { companies } = await client.query({
companies: {
edges: {
node: {
id: true,
name: true,
domainName: {
primaryLinkLabel: true,
primaryLinkUrl: true,
},
},
},
},
});
// Create a record
const { createCompany } = await client.mutation({
createCompany: {
__args: {
data: {
name: 'Acme Corp',
},
},
id: true,
name: true,
},
});
```
该客户端使用选择集语法:传入 `true` 以包含某字段,使用 `__args` 传递参数,并通过嵌套对象表示关系。 你将基于工作区架构获得完整的自动补全和类型检查。
<Note>
**CoreApiClient is generated at dev/build time.** If you use it without running `yarn twenty dev` or `yarn twenty build` first, it throws an error. The generation happens automatically — the CLI introspects your workspace's GraphQL schema and generates a typed client using `@genql/cli`.
</Note>
#### 使用 CoreSchema 进行类型标注
`CoreSchema` provides TypeScript types matching your workspace objects — useful for typing component state or function parameters:
```ts
import { CoreApiClient, CoreSchema } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
import { useState } from 'react';
const [company, setCompany] = useState<
Pick<CoreSchema.Company, 'id' | 'name'> | undefined
>(undefined);
const client = new CoreApiClient();
const result = await client.query({
company: {
__args: { filter: { position: { eq: 1 } } },
id: true,

<Accordion title="MetadataApiClient" description="Workspace config, applications, and file uploads">
`MetadataApiClient` 随 SDK 一并提供,已预构建(无需生成)。 It queries the `/metadata` endpoint for workspace configuration, applications, and file uploads.
```ts
import { MetadataApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/metadata';
const metadataClient = new MetadataApiClient();
// List first 10 objects in the workspace
const { objects } = await metadataClient.query({
objects: {
edges: {
node: {
id: true,
nameSingular: true,
namePlural: true,
labelSingular: true,
isCustom: true,
},
},
__args: {
filter: {},
paging: { first: 10 },
},
},
});
```
#### 上传文件
`MetadataApiClient` includes an `uploadFile` method for attaching files to file-type fields:
```ts
import { MetadataApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/metadata';
import * as fs from 'fs';
const metadataClient = new MetadataApiClient();
const fileBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./invoice.pdf');
const uploadedFile = await metadataClient.uploadFile(
fileBuffer, // file contents as a Buffer
'invoice.pdf', // filename
'application/pdf', // MIME type
'58a0a314-d7ea-4865-9850-7fb84e72f30b', // field universalIdentifier
);
console.log(uploadedFile);
// { id: '...', path: '...', size: 12345, createdAt: '...', url: 'https://...' }
```
| 参数 | 类型 | 描述 |
| ---------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fileBuffer` | `Buffer` | 原始文件内容 |
| `filename` | `string` | 文件名称(用于存储和显示) |
| `contentType` | `string` | MIME type (defaults to `application/octet-stream` if omitted) |
| `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` | `string` | 你的对象上文件类型字段的 `universalIdentifier` |
关键点:
* 使用字段的 `universalIdentifier`(而不是其工作区特定的 ID),因此你的上传代码可在安装了你的应用的任何工作区中运行。
* 返回的 `url` 是一个签名 URL,你可以用它来访问已上传的文件。
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
<Note>
当你的代码在 Twenty 上运行(逻辑函数或前端组件)时,平台会以环境变量的形式注入凭据:
* `TWENTY_API_URL`——Twenty API 的基础 URL
* `TWENTY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN` — Short-lived key scoped to your application's default function role
你无需将这些值传递给客户端——它们会自动从 `process.env` 读取。 API 密钥的权限由你的 `application-config.ts` 中 `defaultRoleUniversalIdentifier` 引用的角色决定。
</Note>
## Testing your app
The SDK provides programmatic APIs that let you build, deploy, install, and uninstall your app from test code. Combined with [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) and the typed API clients, you can write integration tests that verify your app works end-to-end against a real Twenty server.
### 设置
The scaffolded app already includes Vitest. If you set it up manually, install the dependencies:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn add -D vitest vite-tsconfig-paths
```
Create a `vitest.config.ts` at the root of your app:
```ts vitest.config.ts
import tsconfigPaths from 'vite-tsconfig-paths';
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
tsconfigPaths({
projects: ['tsconfig.spec.json'],
ignoreConfigErrors: true,
}),
],
test: {
testTimeout: 120_000,
hookTimeout: 120_000,
include: ['src/**/*.integration-test.ts'],
setupFiles: ['src/__tests__/setup-test.ts'],
env: {
TWENTY_API_URL: 'http://localhost:2020',
TWENTY_API_KEY: 'your-api-key',
},
},
});
```
Create a setup file that verifies the server is reachable before tests run:
```ts src/__tests__/setup-test.ts
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as os from 'os';
import * as path from 'path';
import { beforeAll } from 'vitest';
const TWENTY_API_URL = process.env.TWENTY_API_URL ?? 'http://localhost:2020';
const TEST_CONFIG_DIR = path.join(os.tmpdir(), '.twenty-sdk-test');
beforeAll(async () => {
// Verify the server is running
const response = await fetch(`${TWENTY_API_URL}/healthz`);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(
`Twenty server is not reachable at ${TWENTY_API_URL}. ` +
'Start the server before running integration tests.',
);
}
// Write a temporary config for the SDK
fs.mkdirSync(TEST_CONFIG_DIR, { recursive: true });
fs.writeFileSync(
path.join(TEST_CONFIG_DIR, 'config.json'),
JSON.stringify({
remotes: {
local: {
apiUrl: process.env.TWENTY_API_URL,
apiKey: process.env.TWENTY_API_KEY,
},
},
defaultRemote: 'local',
}, null, 2),
);
});
```
### Programmatic SDK APIs
The `twenty-sdk/cli` subpath exports functions you can call directly from test code:
| 函数 | 描述 |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `appBuild` | Build the app and optionally pack a tarball |
| `appDeploy` | Upload a tarball to the server |
| `appInstall` | Install the app on the active workspace |
| `appUninstall` | Uninstall the app from the active workspace |
Each function returns a result object with `success: boolean` and either `data` or `error`.
### Writing an integration test
Here is a full example that builds, deploys, and installs the app, then verifies it appears in the workspace:
```ts src/__tests__/app-install.integration-test.ts
import { APPLICATION_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from 'src/application-config';
import { appBuild, appDeploy, appInstall, appUninstall } from 'twenty-sdk/cli';
import { MetadataApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/metadata';
import { afterAll, beforeAll, describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
const APP_PATH = process.cwd();
describe('App installation', () => {
beforeAll(async () => {
const buildResult = await appBuild({
appPath: APP_PATH,
tarball: true,
onProgress: (message: string) => console.log(`[build] ${message}`),
});
if (!buildResult.success) {
throw new Error(`Build failed: ${buildResult.error?.message}`);
}
const deployResult = await appDeploy({
tarballPath: buildResult.data.tarballPath!,
onProgress: (message: string) => console.log(`[deploy] ${message}`),
});
if (!deployResult.success) {
throw new Error(`Deploy failed: ${deployResult.error?.message}`);
}
const installResult = await appInstall({ appPath: APP_PATH });
if (!installResult.success) {
throw new Error(`Install failed: ${installResult.error?.message}`);
}
});
afterAll(async () => {
await appUninstall({ appPath: APP_PATH });
});
it('should find the installed app in the workspace', async () => {
const metadataClient = new MetadataApiClient();
const result = await metadataClient.query({
findManyApplications: {
id: true,
name: true,
universalIdentifier: true,
},
});
const installedApp = result.findManyApplications.find(
(app: { universalIdentifier: string }) =>
app.universalIdentifier === APPLICATION_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
);
expect(installedApp).toBeDefined();
});
});
```
### Running tests
Make sure your local Twenty server is running, then:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn test
```
Or in watch mode during development:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn test:watch
```
### Type checking
You can also run type checking on your app without running tests:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty typecheck
```
This runs `tsc --noEmit` and reports any type errors.
## CLI 参考
Beyond `dev`, `build`, `add`, and `typecheck`, the CLI provides commands for executing functions, viewing logs, and managing app installations.
### Executing functions (`yarn twenty exec`)
Run a logic function manually without triggering it via HTTP, cron, or database event:
```bash filename="Terminal"
# Execute by function name
yarn twenty exec -n create-new-post-card
# Execute by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty exec -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
# Pass a JSON payload
yarn twenty exec -n create-new-post-card -p '{"name": "Hello"}'
# Execute pre-install or post-install functions
yarn twenty exec --preInstall
yarn twenty exec --postInstall
```
### Viewing function logs (`yarn twenty logs`)
Stream execution logs for your app's logic functions:
```bash filename="Terminal"
# Stream all function logs
yarn twenty logs
# Filter by function name
yarn twenty logs -n create-new-post-card
# Filter by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty logs -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
```
<Note>
This is different from `yarn twenty server logs`, which shows the Docker container logs. `yarn twenty logs` shows your app's function execution logs from the Twenty server.
</Note>
### Uninstalling an app (`yarn twenty uninstall`)
Remove your app from the active workspace:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty uninstall
# Skip the confirmation prompt
yarn twenty uninstall --yes
```
