quant function, filter, auth, functions

The Content CLI ships four related commands for managing edge code on QuantCDN: three for deploying individual edge functions (function, filter, auth) and one for deploying multiple at once from a config file (functions).

For an overview of what edge functions are and when to use them, see the Edge Functions docs.

Command	Use when
quant function	Deploying a single edge function.
quant filter	Deploying a single edge filter function (modifies requests/responses).
quant auth	Deploying a single edge auth function (authentication/authorisation logic).
quant functions	Deploying many functions in one go from a JSON manifest.

Each individual deploy command accepts an optional uuid positional. Pass it to update an existing function in place; omit it to deploy a new function.

---

quant function

Deploy a single edge function.

Synopsis

quant function <file> <description> [uuid] [options]

Arguments

Name	Description
file	Path to the function file (required).
description	Human-readable description of the function (required).
uuid	UUID of an existing function to update. Omit to deploy a new one.

Examples

# Deploy a new edge function
quant function handler.js "Homepage personalisation"

# Update an existing function by UUID
quant function handler.js "Homepage personalisation v2" 019361ae-2516-788a-8f50-e803ff561c34

---

quant filter

Deploy a single edge filter function. Filter functions run on the request/response path and can modify headers, rewrite URLs, or short-circuit responses.

Synopsis

quant filter <file> <description> [uuid] [options]

Arguments

Name	Description
file	Path to the filter function file (required).
description	Human-readable description (required).
uuid	UUID of an existing filter to update.

Examples

# New filter
quant filter filter.js "Strip tracking params"

# Update existing filter
quant filter filter.js "Strip tracking params v2" 019361ae-2516-788a-8f50-e803ff561c34

---

quant auth

Deploy a single edge auth function. Auth functions evaluate requests and decide whether they should be allowed through to origin.

Synopsis

quant auth <file> <description> [uuid] [options]

Arguments

Name	Description
file	Path to the auth function file (required).
description	Human-readable description (required).
uuid	UUID of an existing auth function to update.

Examples

# New auth function
quant auth auth.js "JWT gate for /admin"

# Update existing auth function
quant auth auth.js "JWT gate v2" 019361ae-2516-788a-8f50-e803ff561c34

---

quant functions (bulk)

Deploy multiple functions in a single command using a JSON manifest. Useful in CI when several functions ship together.

Synopsis

quant functions <file> [options]

Arguments

Name	Description
file	Path to the JSON manifest describing the functions to deploy (required).

Examples

quant functions functions.json

Manifest format

The manifest is a JSON array. Each entry requires type (function, filter, or auth), path (the source file), and description; uuid is optional and updates an existing function instead of creating a new one:

[
  {
    "type": "function",
    "path": "./functions/handler.js",
    "description": "Homepage personalisation"
  },
  {
    "type": "filter",
    "path": "./functions/filter.js",
    "description": "Strip tracking params",
    "uuid": "019361ae-2516-788a-8f50-e803ff561c34"
  }
]
