Summary

Fixes 4 issues where CLI --help text and error messages showed PascalCase or UPPERCASE enum values instead of the lowercase values required by the JSON schema.

The JSON serialization layer already produces lowercase (via EnumMemberJsonEnumConverterFactory), so these fixes align the CLI display layer to match.

Issues Addressed

Issue Option CLI Showed Schema Requires Fix
#3361 --host-mode (init) Development or Production development or production HelpText lowercased
#3362 --rest.methods (add/update) [GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE] [get, post, put, patch, delete] HelpText lowercased
#3363 --graphql.operation (add/update) [Query, Mutation] [query, mutation] HelpText lowercased
#3364 --graphql.operation (add/update) Same as #3363 Same as #3363 Same fix

Pull request overview

Aligns the DAB CLI’s --help text and certain CLI validation error messages with the JSON schema’s expected lowercase enum values, avoiding confusion when users copy/paste values into config or CLI args.

Changes:

  • Lowercase enum values displayed in dab init --help for --host-mode.
  • Lowercase enum values displayed in dab add/update --help for --rest.methods and --graphql.operation.
  • Lowercase enum values shown in CLI error messages for invalid REST method / GraphQL operation inputs.
