Documentation

Add and remove facts, entities, variables, constraints, scores, solutions, model resources, and demo data in generated SolverForge apps.

Generator Commands

Generator commands synchronize Rust domain files, app metadata, and generated frontend model files. They expect the current project to retain the managed @solverforge:begin ... / @solverforge:end ... regions emitted by the current scaffold.

solverforge generate

solverforge generate [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Subcommands:

Subcommand Purpose
constraint Add a constraint skeleton to src/constraints/
entity Add a planning entity struct in src/domain/
fact Add a problem fact struct in src/domain/
solution Add or replace the neutral planning solution struct
variable Add a scalar or list planning variable to an existing entity
score Change the score type in the existing planning solution
data Regenerate compiler-owned demo data from the project model
scalar-group Declare a SolverForge scalar group for coupled scalar construction/search
conflict-repair Declare a conflict repair provider for a constraint

generate fact

solverforge generate fact [OPTIONS] <NAME>
Option Meaning
--field <NAME:TYPE> Add a repeatable extra Rust field
-f, --force Overwrite the fact file if it already exists
--pretend Preview changes without writing files

Creates src/domain/<name>.rs, updates src/domain/mod.rs, wires the collection into the planning solution, and syncs solverforge.app.toml plus the generated UI model.

solverforge generate fact employee --field "skill:String"

generate entity

solverforge generate entity [OPTIONS] <NAME>
Option Meaning
--planning-variable <FIELD> Add an optional scalar planning-variable placeholder
--field <NAME:TYPE> Add a repeatable extra Rust field
-f, --force Overwrite the entity file if it already exists
--pretend Preview changes without writing files

--planning-variable emits #[planning_variable(allows_unassigned = true)] with an Option<usize> field. Use generate variable when you need an explicit scalar range or list element collection.

solverforge generate entity shift --planning-variable employee_idx

generate variable

solverforge generate variable [OPTIONS] --entity <ENTITY_TYPE> --kind <KIND> <FIELD>
Option Meaning
--entity <ENTITY_TYPE> Target entity struct name, such as Shift
--kind <KIND> Variable kind; valid values are scalar and list
--range <FACT_COLLECTION> Required for --kind scalar; source fact collection
--elements <FACT_COLLECTION> Required for --kind list; list element collection
--allows-unassigned Scalar only; generate an optional assignment
--candidate-values <FN_PATH> Scalar only; candidate value hook
--nearby-value-candidates <FN_PATH> Scalar only; nearby value hook
--nearby-entity-candidates <FN_PATH> Scalar only; nearby entity hook
--nearby-value-distance-meter <FN_PATH> Scalar only; nearby value distance meter
--nearby-entity-distance-meter <FN_PATH> Scalar only; nearby entity distance meter
--construction-entity-order-key <FN_PATH> Scalar only; construction entity ordering
--construction-value-order-key <FN_PATH> Scalar only; construction value ordering

standard is not a variable kind. It is only the default demo data size label used by solverforge.app.toml.

solverforge generate variable employee_idx --entity Shift --kind scalar --range employees --allows-unassigned
solverforge generate variable employee_idx --entity Shift --kind scalar --range employees --candidate-values employee_candidates
solverforge generate variable stops --entity Route --kind list --elements visits

generate constraint

solverforge generate constraint [OPTIONS] <NAME>

Hardness options:

Option Meaning
--hard Hard constraint; this is the default for hard-capable patterns
--soft Soft constraint

Pattern options:

Option Meaning
--unary Penalize matching entities with for_each + filter + penalize
--pair Penalize conflicting pairs with pairwise comparison
--join Penalize entity-fact mismatch with for_each + join
--balance Generate a load-balance style soft constraint
--reward Reward matching entities with for_each + filter + reward

Write options:

Option Meaning
-f, --force Overwrite the constraint file if it already exists
--pretend Preview changes without writing files

Choose at most one pattern flag. If no pattern flag is supplied, the command scans the current domain and opens an interactive wizard. --balance and --reward imply soft scoring in the current generator.

solverforge generate constraint max_hours --unary --hard
solverforge generate constraint no_overlap --pair
solverforge generate constraint required_skill --join --hard

generate solution

solverforge generate solution [OPTIONS] <NAME>
Option Meaning
--score <SCORE_TYPE> Score type; default HardSoftScore

A fresh neutral scaffold can be replaced once by this command. If the project is already shaped, destroy the existing solution first.

solverforge generate solution schedule --score HardSoftScore

generate score

solverforge generate score [OPTIONS] <SCORE_TYPE>

<SCORE_TYPE> can be HardSoftScore, HardSoftDecimalScore, HardMediumSoftScore, SoftScore, SimpleScore, or a concrete bendable score such as BendableScore<2, 3>.

solverforge generate score HardSoftDecimalScore

generate data

solverforge generate data [OPTIONS]
Option Meaning
--mode <MODE> Data generation mode; valid values are sample and stub; default sample
--size <SIZE> Default demo size; valid values are small, standard, and large

The command rewrites src/data/data_seed.rs, ensures the stable src/data/mod.rs wrapper exists, and updates [demo].default_size in solverforge.app.toml when --size is provided.

solverforge generate data
solverforge generate data --size large
solverforge generate data --mode stub

generate scalar-group

solverforge generate scalar-group [OPTIONS] <NAME>

Scalar groups are opt-in runtime model resources for coupled scalar construction and search.

Target options:

Option Meaning
--assignment <ENTITY.FIELD> Assignment-backed scalar target; the target must allow unassigned values
--candidates <FN_PATH> Candidate-backed provider function
--target <ENTITY.FIELD> Candidate-backed scalar target; repeat for multi-target groups

Assignment hook options:

Option Meaning
--required-entity <FN_PATH> Decide whether an entity must be assigned
--capacity-key <FN_PATH> Return a capacity bucket for entity/value pairs
--assignment-rule <FN_PATH> Filter legal pairwise assignments
--position-key <FN_PATH> Return sequence position for an entity
--sequence-key <FN_PATH> Return sequence key for entity/value pairs
--entity-order <FN_PATH> Rank entity construction order
--value-order <FN_PATH> Rank candidate value order

Limit and write options:

Option Meaning
--value-candidate-limit <N> Limit candidate values per scalar target
--group-candidate-limit <N> Limit grouped construction candidates
--max-moves-per-step <N> Limit grouped scalar local-search moves per step
--max-augmenting-depth <N> Limit augmenting-path depth for assignment groups
--max-rematch-size <N> Limit rematch size for assignment groups
--skip-solver-config Do not add matching solver.toml phases

Examples:

solverforge generate scalar-group required_assignment --assignment Task.resource_idx --required-entity required_task
solverforge generate scalar-group paired_assignment --candidates paired_candidates --target Task.primary_idx --target Task.secondary_idx

generate conflict-repair

solverforge generate conflict-repair [OPTIONS] --provider <FN_PATH> <CONSTRAINT>
Option Meaning
--provider <FN_PATH> Repair provider function path
--selector <SELECTOR> Move selector kind to add to solver.toml; compound or conflict, default compound
--max-matches-per-step <N> Limit conflict matches per step
--max-repairs-per-match <N> Limit repairs per matched conflict
--max-moves-per-step <N> Limit emitted repair moves per step
--include-soft-matches Allow selectors to match soft-constraint conflicts
--skip-solver-config Do not add a matching solver.toml phase

Example:

solverforge generate conflict-repair required_assignment --provider repair_required_assignment

solverforge destroy

solverforge destroy [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Removes generated resources and resyncs the app spec and UI model. The confirmation flag belongs to the destroy command itself, so place it before the resource subcommand.

Option Meaning
-y, --yes Skip the confirmation prompt

Subcommands:

entity solverforge destroy [OPTIONS] entity <NAME> Remove a planning entity and unwire its solution collection

fact solverforge destroy [OPTIONS] fact <NAME> Remove a problem fact and unwire its solution collection
constraint solverforge destroy [OPTIONS] constraint <NAME> Remove a constraint module and registry entry
scalar-group solverforge destroy [OPTIONS] scalar-group <NAME> Remove a scalar group declaration
