Generation Commands ​

Generation refreshes framework-owned App code and derived files.

Use forj build when unsure.

Full Build Pipeline ​

bash
forj build

Runs:

  1. generated component refresh
  2. Wire generation
  3. API indexing
  4. Go build

Focused Generation ​

The normal regeneration path is forj build.

Dev Loop

During forj dev, the generated build watcher normally runs forj build for you.

Use focused generation when you intentionally want to refresh one generated surface without a full build:

bash
forj generate --cache
forj generate --storage
forj generate --queue
forj generate --events
forj generate --db
forj generate --mail
forj generate --observability

Running forj generate without flags refreshes available generators for the current App.

Render ​

forj render is mainly a framework/template workflow command. It renders project files from .goforj.yml and selected components.

Use it intentionally. Many App changes only need forj build.

When To Regenerate ​

Generated code should be refreshed after changing:

  • supported driver lists
  • named caches, disks, queues, event buses, mailers, or DB connections
  • provider sets or Wire inputs
  • generated component selection
  • observability target configuration
  • .goforj.yml render settings

Use forj build when unsure.
