+ # DBO CLI Command
7
+
8
+ The dbo CLI interacts with DBO.io — a database-driven application framework.
9
+
10
+ **STEP 1: Check if `$ARGUMENTS` is empty or blank.**
11
+
12
+ If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty — meaning the user typed just `/dbo` with nothing after it — then you MUST NOT run any bash command. Do NOT run `dbo`, `dbo --help`, or anything else. Instead, respond ONLY with this text message:
13
+
14

15
+
16
+ Hi there! I can help you with running dbo commands. What would you like to do?
17
+
18
+ Here are the available commands:
19
+
20
+ | Command | Description |
21
+ |-----------|--------------------------------------------------|
22
+ | init | Initialize .dbo/ configuration |
23
+ | login | Authenticate with a DBO.io instance |
24
+ | logout | Clear session |
25
+ | status | Show config, domain, and session info |
26
+ | input | Submit CRUD operations (add/edit/delete records) |
27
+ | output | Query data from outputs or entities |
28
+ | content | Get or deploy content |
29
+ | media | Get media files |
30
+ | upload | Upload a file |
31
+ | message | Send messages (email, SMS, chatbot) |
32
+ | pull | Pull records to local files |
33
+ | push | Push local files back to DBO.io |
34
+ | add | Add a new file to DBO.io |
35
+ | clone | Clone an app to local project structure |
36
+ | deploy | Deploy via manifest |
37
+ | cache | Manage cache |
38
+ | install | Install components |
39
+ | update | Update CLI or plugins |
40
+
41
+ Just tell me what you'd like to do and I'll help you build the right command!
42
+
43
+ ---
44
+
45
+ Then STOP. Wait for the user to respond. Guide them step by step — asking about entities, UIDs, file paths, flags, etc. to construct the correct `dbo` command. Run `dbo status` proactively to check if the CLI is initialized and authenticated before suggesting data commands.
46
+
47
+ **STEP 2: If `$ARGUMENTS` is NOT empty, run the command:**
48
+
49
+ ```bash
50
+ dbo $ARGUMENTS
51
+ ```
52
+

78
+ ## Smart Command Building
79
+
80
+ When helping the user build a command interactively:
81
+
82
+ 1. **Check readiness first**: Run `dbo status` to see if initialized and authenticated. If not, guide them through `dbo init` and `dbo login` first.
83
+ 2. **Understand intent**: Ask what they want to do (query data, deploy a file, add a record, etc.)
84
+ 3. **Gather parameters**: Ask for the specific values needed (entity name, UID, file path, filters, etc.)
85
+ 4. **Build the command**: Construct the full `dbo` command with proper flags and syntax
86
+ 5. **Execute**: Run it and explain the results
87
+
88
+ ### Common workflows to suggest:
89
+
90
+ - **"I want to query data"** → Guide toward `dbo output -e <entity>` with filters
91
+ - **"I want to deploy/update a file"** → Check if `.metadata.json` exists → `dbo push` or `dbo content deploy`
92
+ - **"I want to add a new file"** → `dbo add <path>` (will create metadata interactively)
93
+ - **"I want to pull files from the server"** → `dbo pull` or `dbo pull -e <entity>`
94
+ - **"I want to see what's on the server"** → `dbo output -e <entity> --format json`
95
+ - **"I need to set up this project"** → `dbo init` → `dbo login` → `dbo status`
96
+ - **"I want to clone an app"** → `dbo clone --app <name>` or `dbo clone <local.json>`
97
+ - **"I want to set up and clone"** → `dbo init --domain <host> --app <name> --clone`
98
+
99
+ ## Add Command Details
100
+
101
+ `dbo add <path>` registers a new local file with the DBO server by creating an insert record.
102
+
103
+ ```bash
104
+ # Add a single file (interactive metadata wizard if no .metadata.json exists)
105
+ dbo add assets/css/colors.css
106
+
107
+ # Add with auto-accept and ticket
108
+ dbo add assets/css/colors.css -y --ticket abc123
109
+
110
+ # Scan current directory for all un-added files
111
+ dbo add .
112
+
113
+ # Scan a specific directory
114
+ dbo add assets/
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ Flags: `-C/--confirm <true|false>`, `--ticket <id>`, `-y/--yes`, `--json`, `--jq <expr>`, `-v/--verbose`, `--domain <host>`
118
+
119
+ ### How add works
120
+
121
+ 1. Checks for a companion `<basename>.metadata.json` next to the file
122
+ 2. If metadata exists with `_CreatedOn` → already on server, skips (use `push` instead)
123
+ 3. If metadata exists without `_CreatedOn` → uses it to insert the record
124
+ 4. If no metadata → interactive wizard prompts for: entity, content column, AppID, BinID, SiteID, Path
125
+ 5. Creates `.metadata.json`, submits insert to `/api/input/submit`
126
+ 6. Writes returned UID back to metadata file
127
+ 7. Suggests running `dbo pull -e <entity> <uid>` to populate all server columns
128
+
129
+ ### Non-interactive add (for scripting)
130
+
131
+ To add without prompts, create the `.metadata.json` first, then run `dbo add <file> -y`:
132
+
133
+ ```json
134
+ {
135
+ "Name": "colors",
136
+ "Path": "assets/css/colors.css",
137
+ "Content": "@colors.css",
138
+ "_entity": "content",
139
+ "_contentColumns": ["Content"]
140
+ }
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ Optional fields like `AppID`, `BinID`, `SiteID` are only included if the user provides values — they have no defaults and are omitted when left blank.
144
+
145
+ The `@colors.css` value means "read content from colors.css in the same directory".
146
+
147
+ ### Directory scan (`dbo add .`)
148
+
149
+ Finds files that have no `.metadata.json` or whose metadata lacks `_CreatedOn`. Skips `.dbo/`, `.git/`, `node_modules/`, dotfiles, and `.metadata.json` files. When adding multiple files, defaults from the first file are reused.
150
+
151
+ ## Push Command Details
152
+
153
+ `dbo push <path>` pushes local file changes back to existing DBO records using their `.metadata.json`.
154
+
155
+ ```bash
156
+ dbo push assets/css/colors.css # single file
157
+ dbo push assets/ # all records in directory
158
+ dbo push assets/ --content-only # only file content, skip metadata
159
+ dbo push assets/ --meta-only # only metadata columns, skip files
160
+ dbo push assets/ -y --ticket abc123 # auto-accept + ticket
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ Flags: `-C/--confirm`, `--ticket <id>`, `--meta-only`, `--content-only`, `-y/--yes`, `--json`, `--jq`, `-v/--verbose`, `--domain`
164
+
165
+ ## Column Filtering (add & push)
166
+
167
+ These columns are **never submitted** in add or push payloads:
168
+ - `_CreatedOn`, `_LastUpdated` — server-managed timestamps
169
+ - `_LastUpdatedUserID`, `_LastUpdatedTicketID` — session-provided values
170
+ - `UID` — server-assigned on insert; used as identifier on push (not as column value)
171
+ - `_id`, `_entity`, `_contentColumns`, `_mediaFile` — internal/metadata fields
172
+
173
+ ## Pull → Edit → Push/Add Workflow
174
+
175
+ ```bash
176
+ # Pull existing records
177
+ dbo pull -e content --filter 'AppID=10100'
178
+
179
+ # Edit files locally, then push changes back
180
+ dbo push assets/css/colors.css
181
+
182
+ # Or add a brand new file
183
+ dbo add assets/css/newstyle.css
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ ## Clone Command Details
187
+
188
+ `dbo clone` scaffolds a local project from a DBO.io app export JSON, creating directories, files, metadata, and config.
189
+
190
+ ```bash
191
+ # Clone from a local JSON export file
192
+ dbo clone /path/to/app_export.json
193
+
194
+ # Clone from server by app short name (requires login)
195
+ dbo clone --app myapp
196
+
197
+ # Clone using AppShortName already in config
198
+ dbo clone
199
+
200
+ # Init + clone in one step
201
+ dbo init --domain beta-dev.dbo.io --app myapp --clone
202
+ ```
203
+
204
+ Flags: `--app <name>`, `--domain <host>`, `-y/--yes`, `-v/--verbose`
205
+
206
+ ### What clone does
207
+
208
+ 1. Loads app JSON (local file, server API, or prompt)
209
+ 2. Updates `.dbo/config.json` with `AppID`, `AppUID`, `AppName`, `AppShortName`
210
+ 3. Updates `package.json` with `name`, `productName`, `description`, `homepage`, and `deploy` script
211
+ 4. Creates directory structure from `children.bin` hierarchy → saves `.dbo/structure.json`
212
+ 5. Writes content files (decodes base64) with `*.metadata.json` into bin directories
213
+ 6. Downloads media files from server via `/api/media/{uid}` with `*.metadata.json`
214
+ 7. Processes other entities with BinID into corresponding directories
215
+ 8. Saves `app.json` to project root with `@path/to/*.metadata.json` references
216
+
217
+ ### Placement preferences
218
+
219
+ When a record has both `Path`/`FullPath` and `BinID`, clone prompts the user to choose placement. Preferences are saved to `.dbo/config.json` and reused on future clones:
220
+
221
+ - `ContentPlacement`: `bin` | `path` | `ask` — for content and other entities
222
+ - `MediaPlacement`: `bin` | `fullpath` | `ask` — for media files
223
+
224
+ Pre-set these in config.json to skip prompts. `.dbo/config.json` and `.dbo/structure.json` are shared via git; `.dbo/credentials.json` and `.dbo/cookies.txt` are gitignored (per-user).
225
+
226
+ ### AppID awareness (add & input)
227
+
228
+ After cloning, the config has an `AppID`. When running `dbo add` or `dbo input` without an AppID in the data, the CLI prompts:
229
+ 1. Yes, use AppID from config
230
+ 2. No
231
+ 3. Enter custom AppID
232
+
233
+ ### Init flags for clone
234
+
235
+ `dbo init` now supports `--app <shortName>` and `--clone` flags to combine initialization with app cloning.
236
+
237
+ ## Error Handling
238
+
239
+ - If the command fails with a session/authentication error, suggest: `dbo login`
240
+ - If it fails with "No domain configured", suggest: `dbo init`
241
+ - If a command is not found, suggest: `dbo --help`
242
+
243
+ ## Output
244
+
245
+ When showing results:
246
+ - Format JSON output readably
247
+ - For pull/push/add operations, list the files created or modified
248
+ - For query operations, summarize the row count and key fields
