CLI tools development #10686

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I wanted to use the CLI tools that PrusaSlicer provides to make a UI of my own and map all the exact functionalities using the interactions on my UI and the backend logic provided by PrusaSlicer.

Describe the solution you'd like I want to know if there is constant development for maintaining the CLI tools and if such a feature is available.

Describe how it would work Basically, let's say that I have made my own UI on the web using Nextjs, and I add all of the similar buttons, forms, and every possible UI option. Now, when I have hosted this application over the internet and people interact with it like they normally would with super slicer. At the time of interaction, I want to execute the same backend logic using some CLI tools or APIs provided by PrusaSlicer itself. So that I only have to handle the front end but the main logic is still being handled by PrusaSlicer's CLI or APIs, and I just integrate them both.

Describe alternatives you've considered I am thinking of using SuperSlicer as well, given that they provide me with the same functionalities

Can you clarify what is missing? You can already use PrusaSlicer from the command line e.g.

prusa-slicer --slice --fill-pattern=gyroid --xy-size-compensation=-0.1 box.stl

See --help for basic syntax. As far as I can tell, all configuration options can additionally be specified.
