This plugin is a multi-purpose tool to manage your Strapi database records through JSON files. Mostly used to version controlconfig data for automated deployment, automated tests and data sharing for collaboration purposes.
Read the documentationconfig-sync
CLI for syncing the config from the command lineimportOnBootstrap
Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:
# using yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-config-sync
# using npm
npm install strapi-plugin-config-sync --save
Add the export path to the watchIgnoreFiles
list in the config/admin.js
file.
This way your app won't reload when you export the config in development.
config/admin.js
:module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
watchIgnoreFiles: [
'**/config/sync/**',
],
});
After successful installation you have to rebuild the admin UI so it'll include this plugin. To rebuild and restart Strapi run:
# using yarn
yarn build
yarn develop
# using npm
npm run build
npm run develop
The Config Sync plugin should now appear in the Settings section of your Strapi app.
To start tracking your config changes you have to make the first export. This will dump all your configuration data to the /config/sync
directory. You can export either through the CLI or Strapi admin panel
Enjoy 🎉
