Setting up the environment

This repository uses Gradle as its build tool.

To set up the repository, run:

$ ./gradlew build

This will install all the required dependencies and build the project.

Modifying/Adding code

Most of the SDK is generated code. Modifications to code will be persisted between generations, but may result in merge conflicts between manual patches and changes from the generator. The generator will never modify the contents of the anthropic-java-example/ directory.

Adding and running examples

All files in the anthropic-java-example/ directory are not modified by the generator and can be freely edited or added to.

# Run an example
$ ./gradlew :anthropic-java-example:run

Running tests

Most tests require you to set up a mock server against the OpenAPI spec to run the tests.

$ npx prism mock path/to/your/openapi.yml

$ ./scripts/test

Linting and formatting

This repository uses ktfmt for Kotlin and palantir-java-format for Java.

To lint:

$ ./scripts/lint

To format:

$ ./scripts/format

Publishing and releases

Changes made to this repository via the automated release PR pipeline should publish to Maven Central automatically. If the changes aren't made through the automated pipeline, you may want to make releases manually.
