title: vela cuex eval
---

Eval cue file with CueX engine.

### Synopsis

Eval cue file with CueX engine.

 Evaluate your cue file with the CueX engine. When your cue file does not use KubeVela's extension, it will work similarly to the native CUE CLI. When using KubeVela's extensions, this command will execute the extension functions and resolve values, in addition to the native CUE compile process.

```
vela cuex eval [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Evaluate a cue file
  vela cuex eval -f my.cue
  
  # Evaluate a cue file into json format
  vela cuex eval -f my.cue -o json
  
  # Evaluate a cue file and output the target path
  vela cuex eval -f my.cue -p key.path
```

  -f, --file string     file for eval
  -o, --format string   format of the output (default "cue")
