feat(c/v3-cli): ddn supergraph build create && apply simultaneously

[jjangga0214]

Component

c/v3-cli

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Hi!

ddn supergraph build create 
ddn supergraph build apply <build version>

The problem is build version is unpredictable before creating a new build.
So a user has to parse stdout to apply automatically(e.g. CI).

Describe the solution you'd like

Let a user provide a predictable identifier.
Users can set it to any value they want.
For example, like a gitsha.

ddn supergraph build create --alias abcd123
ddn supergraph build apply --alias abcd123

Describe alternatives you've considered

Creating build and applying simultaneously.

ddn supergraph build create --apply

Hiya, @jjangga0214 —

I'll pass this onto our CLI team, but I do want to suggest a workaround in your CI:

• You can set the output format for CLI commands; while the default is table, you can also set JSON
• From there, I used jq to parse the response in CI and then apply the build — as an example, here's what I do in an internal project to log information in "preview" builds of the supergraph:

      # Build and deploy the connectors & supergraph
      - name: Build and deploy the supergraph
        run: |
          cd ddn
          ddn context set-current-context staging
          ddn supergraph build create --description "Build for commit ${{ github.sha }}" --out=json > build_output.json

      - name: Extract URLs from JSON
        id: extract_urls
        run: |
          cd ddn
          BUILD_URL=$(jq -r '.build_url' build_output.json)
          CONSOLE_URL=$(jq -r '.console_url' build_output.json)
          echo "build_url=$BUILD_URL" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo "console_url=$CONSOLE_URL" >> $GITHUB_ENV
