Using Wasp Mage to generate and update new Wasp entity Actions and Queries

I am interested to know if we have a way to use the wasp mage to generate our project's actions and queries dynamically. I want to update my wasp.main file, and run wasp clean, and them wasp make to generate updated actions and sensible queries.

Hi @2b|¬2b. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

----------------------
I'm sorry for the confusion, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. Wasp doesn't have a feature called "Wasp Mage" for generating actions and queries dynamically. However, Wasp does provide a way to define actions and queries in your file and implement them in your directory.

To define an action or a query, you need to add an

action

action

or declaration in your file. For example:

source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#using-entities-in-actions)

Then, you implement these actions or queries in your directory. For example:

source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#using-entities-in-actions)

After defining and implementing your actions and queries, you can use the command to launch your Wasp app in development mode. This command automatically watches for any changes to or files in and reflects them in the browser.

source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/general/cli#project-commands)

If you want to clean your project, you can use the

wasp clean

wasp clean

command. This command removes all generated code and other cached artifacts.

However, Wasp doesn't provide a command or a similar feature for automatically generating updated actions and queries based on your file. You need to manually define and implement your actions and queries as described above.

Sorry @2b|¬2b, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:

Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@2b|¬2b I am not sure I get the idea. Do you mean you would like to write action/query declarations in main.wasp, and then have Wasp AI generate the implementation in JS for you?
Or are you referring to something else?
Mage itself can currently only generate an app from scratch for you: it can't then add more stuff to it (for now).

Mmartinsos @2b|¬2b I am not sure I get the idea. Do you mean you would like to write action...
