Hi,
I would like to know that weather it is possible to add a new entity by using ABP CLI commands.
I have tried some commands like this but it did not work.
and as second question ABP CLI commands can do everything that ABP Studio and ABP Suite can do?
Kind regrads
**abp suite generate crud -t entity --name Banka --properties "BanKey:Guid:required,BanKod:string:required:length(3),BanAdi:string:optional:length(100)" --unique-constraints "BanKod" --primary-key BanKey ** Check the docs before asking a question: https://abp.io/docs/latest Check the samples to see the basic tasks: https://abp.io/docs/latest/samples The exact solution to your question may have been answered before, and please first use the search on the homepage.

You cannot directly add a new entity (i.e., generate the entity class and all related files from scratch) using only ABP CLI commands. The ABP CLI is primarily used for project scaffolding, managing modules, and running code generation tasks that are based on existing entity definitions (such as generating CRUD pages or services for entities you have already defined).
The ABP Suite and ABP Studio provide a visual interface to define new entities, their properties, and relationships, and then generate all necessary code (entity, DTOs, application services, UI, etc.). The ABP CLI does not fully replicate this functionality. For example, the CLI can generate CRUD pages for an entity if you provide a JSON definition (usually created by Suite), but it does not have a command to define a new entity interactively or via command line parameters in the same way Suite does.
To generate CRUD pages via CLI, you must first define your entity (typically using Suite or manually), then use a command like:
abp suite generate --entity D:\Projects\BookStore.suite\entities\Book.json --solution D:\Projects\BookStore\Acme.Bookstore.sln
This command generates CRUD pages for an existing entity definition. - In summary: ABP CLI does not provide all the features of ABP Suite/Studio, especially for interactive entity creation. It is mainly used for automation and code generation based on existing definitions.

hi
The suite is a GUI for generating code, and it currently does not support command-line usage.
Thank you.

Actually, it would be great if all Suite/Studio functionalities could be performed through ABP CLI commands.
Do you have any plans to make this possible?
As someone with over 35 years of experience in the profession, I believe this would add tremendous value to your product
