Using the TS SDK, how would I get a host directory?

[grizzled agate]

Hi

Using the generated class based TS code I can pass a source directory via a cli flag
e.g. async test(source: Directory)

But what if I would like to get a directory from the host without passing it via flag?

Something like client.host().directory("./frontend") shown in https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/main/examples/sdk/nodejs/db-service/build.js#L13

But I can't figure out this when using the generated class based approach. How do I access host()?
Thanks

hi there! if you're using dagger via the dagger call command, the only way to pass directories from the host is via flags and function arguments. The example you've shared is an older code which is not not using dagger modules which allows accessing the host directroy.
