Connecting a NestJS commander CLI project to a server project

[minericpark]

Hello!

I'll break down the concept. I have two projects currently in a monorepo:

• main
  • packages
    • server
    • cli

I was working on developing a CLI that could call various services from a separate server project I've prototyped using NestJS. I was wondering how I would be able to connect them together? Would I have to use manual GraphQL/REST calls from the CLI application, or how would I run both an instance of the server with the CLI, then access the server services?

I've looked at the ogma/cli package, though it doesn't seem like it's calling any services from modules outside of that project, and haven't found any other examples and resources successfully :(

I don't know of a way to use the current instance that a server has, as that would be a separate process. What you could do is create libraries for the services you want to be able to access in both, and then the CLI can re-use the same service code the server has. Otherwise, you'll probably need to make GQL/HTTP calls to the server. Interesting use case though, I'll see if I can figure something out

I'll try that, thanks!
