This document outlines the two-phase approach for integrating StepZen CLI import commands with the VS Code extension and providing intelligent schema enhancements.
The import enhancement system consists of two distinct phases:
- Phase 1: CLI Import Integration - Seamless UI for all StepZen import commands
- Phase 2: Functional Enhancements - Intelligent post-import schema improvements
The system uses a generalized service-based architecture that follows the extension's established patterns:
ImportService (Orchestrator)
├── CurlCommandBuilder
├── OpenApiCommandBuilder
├── GraphQLCommandBuilder
└── DatabaseCommandBuilder
Key Components:
ImportService- Central orchestrator that handles all import types- Command Builders - Type-specific logic for building CLI arguments
- Type Definitions - Comprehensive TypeScript interfaces for all configurations
- VS Code Commands - User-friendly interfaces for each import type
- Command:
stepzen.importCurl - Features:
- Smart cURL command parsing
- Auto-detection of secret headers
- Path parameter configuration
- Schema and query name generation
- Request body support - Handles
--data,-d,--data-raw,--data-ascii,--data-binaryflags - HTTP method detection - Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE methods
- Header parsing - Supports both
-Hand--headerflags
- Command:
stepzen.importOpenapi - Features:

- URL input for remote specs
- Automatic schema name generation
- Support for YAML and JSON formats
- Command:
stepzen.importGraphql - Features:

- Secret management
- Command:
stepzen.importDatabase - Features:

- Connection string or individual parameters
- Auto-linking with
@materializer - Database-specific options (e.g., Snowflake warehouse)
- ✅ Type Definitions - Complete TypeScript interfaces (
src/types/import.ts) - ✅ Import Service - Generalized service with command builders (
src/services/importService.ts) - ✅ Command Implementations - All four import commands implemented
- ✅ Unit Tests - Comprehensive test coverage (226 passing tests)
- ✅ Service Registry Integration - ImportService registered and available
- ✅ Command Registration - All commands registered in
extension.ts - ✅ Error Handling - Robust validation and error reporting
- ✅ Architecture Compliance - Follows established extension patterns
- ✅ Project Resolution - Automatic StepZen project directory detection with multi-project support
- ⏳ UI Implementation - Need to create VS Code command interfaces
- ⏳ cURL Parsing Logic - Need to implement actual cURL command parsing
- ⏳ Integration Testing - End-to-end testing with CLI
- ⏳ User Documentation - User-facing guides and examples
-
Import Service Tests (
src/test/unit/services/importService.test.ts)- CLI argument building for all import types
- Configuration validation
- Error handling
- Type detection logic
-
Command Tests (
src/test/unit/commands/importCurl.test.ts)- cURL parsing logic
- URL validation
- Schema name generation
- Edge case handling
- End-to-end command execution
- CLI integration validation
- File system operations
- Error scenarios
The implementation follows the extension's established patterns:
- Service Registry -
ImportServiceregistered in service registry - Error Handling - Uses
handleError()andValidationError - Logging - Integrated with
services.logger - Command Structure - Follows established command patterns
- TypeScript Strict Mode - Full type safety
- Project Resolution - Uses
ProjectResolverservice for automatic directory detection
The import system automatically resolves the correct StepZen project directory using the established ProjectResolver service:
- Automatically detects the StepZen project directory
- Searches upward from the active file or workspace root
- Executes import commands in the correct project directory
- Scans all workspace folders for StepZen projects
- Prompts user to select the target project when multiple are found
- Caches the selection for subsequent operations
- Supports multi-root VS Code workspaces
- Clear error messages when no StepZen project is found
- Graceful handling of user cancellation during project selection
- Automatic fallback to workspace scanning when active file context is unavailable
This ensures that import commands always execute in the correct directory, regardless of workspace complexity.

All import commands are registered in src/extension.ts:
// Import commands
vscode.commands.registerCommand('stepzen.importCurl', importCurl),
vscode.commands.registerCommand('stepzen.importOpenapi', importOpenapi),
vscode.commands.registerCommand('stepzen.importGraphql', importGraphql),
vscode.commands.registerCommand('stepzen.importDatabase', importDatabase),- Target: All directive types (
@rest,@dbquery,@graphql) - Implementation: Convert list fields to GraphQL Cursor Connections
- Benefits: Consistent pagination across all data sources
- Target: All generated types
- Implementation:
- Convert
snake_casetocamelCase - Fix verb-based query names (e.g.,
getUser→user) - Standardize naming conventions
- Convert
- Benefits: Better GraphQL conventions
- Target: All types and fields
- Implementation:
- Generate descriptions from database comments
- Add field documentation from OpenAPI descriptions
- Create meaningful type descriptions
- Benefits: Self-documenting schemas
- Target: Object types with relationships
- Implementation:
- Add
@materializerdirectives for foreign keys - Create nested object relationships
- Link related entities across data sources
- Add
- Benefits: Rich, connected data graphs
