File contents

AppMgr API Generator

Automatically generate complete API call chain from client to service for new AppMgr APIs.

Quick Start

Ask: "Add a new API named [ApiName] with parameters [params] and return type [type]"

The skill will:

Ask for interface details (name, parameters, return type, functionality)
Generate all necessary code modifications
Show diff preview for each file

Generated Files

For each new API, code is generated for the following files:

interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/include/appmgr/app_mgr_client.h
interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/src/appmgr/app_mgr_client.cpp
interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/include/appmgr/app_mgr_ipc_interface_code.h
interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/include/appmgr/app_mgr_proxy.h
interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/src/appmgr/app_mgr_proxy.cpp
interfaces/inner_api/app_manager/include/appmgr/app_mgr_interface.h
services/appmgr/include/app_mgr_service.h (NEW)
services/appmgr/src/app_mgr_service.cpp (NEW)
services/appmgr/src/app_mgr_service_inner.cpp
services/appmgr/src/app_mgr_service_inner.h
services/appmgr/src/appmgrstub/app_mgr_stub.cpp

Workflow

Interface Definition: Provide API name, parameters, return type
Code Generation: Use scripts/generate_appmgr_api.py
Review: Check generated code before applying changes
Apply: Apply changes to all files in the call chain

Architecture Overview

Complete call chain path:

AppMgrClient → AppMgrProxy → IPC → AppMgrStub → AppMgrService → AppMgrServiceInner

AppMgrClient: Client-side API wrapper
AppMgrProxy: Client-side IPC proxy, marshals parameters
AppMgrStub: Server-side IPC handler, unmarshals parameters
AppMgrService: Service implementation, checks service status and delegates
AppMgrServiceInner: Business logic implementation

Implementation Notes

Follow existing code patterns in ability_runtime
Generate appropriate IPC serialization/deserialization code
Handle synchronous/asynchronous calls appropriately
Include error handling and logging
Important: Ensure to include AppMgrService layer implementation (was missing in previous versions)

See references/patterns.md for advanced patterns or special cases.
