Is it possible to get list of functions and parameters through API instead of calling dagger cli?

[patent nymph]

I'm experimenting with dagger functions and was wondering if I can get a list of available functions of my module (or any other module) so I can wrap it with all sorts of tools (ie: auto generate jenkins jobs, basically replacing JobDSL)

I'm aware of dagger cli ability to view functions, but I wonder if its possible to list with the current SDK

Yes, you can introspect any module through the API. Everything the CLI does, you can do in a custom tool or module. A few pointers:

• Look at Directory.asModule
• Look at the Module type
• A module which builds on that API to offer a cross-language codegen framework: https://daggerverse.dev/mod/github.com/helderco/daggerverse/codegen@357dfd7f97eae9a62a2a13454b48cb7c69c44e34
