Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install foxie-cli

From Source

git clone https://github.com/foxie-platform/foxie-platform.git
cd foxie-platform/foxie-cli
pip install -e .

Quick Start

# Interactive mode
foxie scaffold fastapi-crud

# Command-line mode
foxie scaffold fastapi-crud \
  -p my-project \
  -r product \
  -f "name:str,price:float"

Configuration

Foxie requires a Google Gemini API key to function. You can provide it in several ways:

Option 1: Interactive Configuration (Recommended)

foxie config

This will prompt you to enter your API key and save it to ~/.config/foxie/config.env for future use.

Option 2: Environment Variable

Set the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable:

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Linux/macOS:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Option 3: Project .env File

Create a .env file in your project directory:

# .env
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Option 4: Global Config File

Create ~/.config/foxie/config.env manually (follows XDG Base Directory specification):

Windows:

New-Item -Path "$HOME\.config\foxie" -ItemType Directory -Force
Set-Content -Path "$HOME\.config\foxie\config.env" -Value "GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here"

Linux/macOS:

mkdir -p ~/.config/foxie
echo "GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here" > ~/.config/foxie/config.env

Priority Order

Foxie checks for your API key in this order (highest priority first):

1. GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable
2. .env file in current directory
3. ~/.config/foxie/config.env file (standard config location)
4. Interactive prompt (if none found)

Get Your API Key

Get your Google Gemini API key from: https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey

Backend Configuration

By default, the CLI connects to the deployed backend at https://foxie-wsj6.onrender.com. If you want to use a different backend (e.g., local development), configure the following:

Backend URL

Set the FOXIE_BACKEND_URL environment variable:

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:FOXIE_BACKEND_URL="https://your-backend-url.onrender.com"

Linux/macOS:

export FOXIE_BACKEND_URL="https://your-backend-url.onrender.com"

You can also add the backend URL to your config file (~/.config/foxie/config.env):

# ~/.config/foxie/config.env
FOXIE_BACKEND_URL=https://foxie-wsj6.onrender.com
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key-here

For local development, set the backend URL to your local instance:

# ~/.config/foxie/config.env
FOXIE_BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key-here

Note: API keys are protected by HTTPS - When using Render, all traffic is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS, preventing interception
