how to use @edgedb/generate with pnpm

[stefanprobst]

with npx, everything works just fine:

npx @edgedb/generate edgeql-js

however, with pnpm i get an error:

pnpm dlx @edgedb/generate edgeql-js

results in:

Error message

To use @edgedb/generate with pnpm, you can follow these steps:

1. Install pnpm: If you haven't already, install pnpm by running the following command:
   npm install -g pnpm

2. Create a new project: Create a new project directory and navigate to it in your terminal. Then, initialize a new Node.js project by running the following command:
   pnpm init -y

3. Install @edgedb/generate: Install @edgedb/generate by running the following command:
   pnpm add @edgedb/generate

4. Generate the TypeScript client: Once @edgedb/generate is installed, you can use it to generate a TypeScript client for your EdgeDB database. To do this, run the following command:
   pnpm dlx @edgedb/generate -- init --host <hostname> --port <port> --user <username> --database <database> --output <output_directory>

Replace <hostname>, <port>, <username>, <database>, and <output_directory> with the appropriate values for your EdgeDB database and project setup. This command will generate TypeScript client code in the specified output directory.
