Storyblok CLI

A simple CLI for scaffolding Storyblok projects and fieldtypes.

BREAKING CHANGE

We added the region option upon login. If you are using the CLI, please logout and login again providing your user region.

Installation

Make sure you have Node >= 18.0.0 installed.

$ npm i storyblok -g

Commands

login

Login to the Storyblok cli

$ storyblok login

Login options

Options for Login with email and password

email: your user's email address
password: your user's password

Options for Login with token (Recomended to SSO user's but works with all user accounts)

token: your personal access token

Get your personal access token

Go to https://app.storyblok.com/#/me/account?tab=token and click on Generate new token.

For Both login options you nedd to pass the region

region (default: eu): the region you would like to work in. All the supported regions can be found here.

Note

Please keep in mind that the region must match the region of your space, and also that it will be used for all future commands you may perform.

Login with token flag

You can also add the token directly from the login’s command, like the example below:

$ storyblok login --token <PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN> --region eu

logout

Logout from the Storyblok cli

$ storyblok logout

user

Get the currently logged in user

$ storyblok user

select

Usage to kickstart a boilerplate, fieldtype or theme

$ storyblok select

pull-languages

Download your space's languages schema as json. This command will download 1 file.

$ storyblok pull-languages --space <SPACE_ID>

Options

space: your space id

pull-components

Download your space's components schema as json. By default this command will download 2 files: 1 for the components and 1 for the presets; But if you pass a flag --separate-files or --sf the command will create file for each component and presets. And also you could pass a path --path or -p to save your components and presets.

It's highly recommended to use also the --prefix-presets-names or -ppn parameter if you use --separate-files because it will prefix the names of the individual files with the name of the component. This feature solves the issue of multiple presets from different components but with the same name, being written in the same file. In a future major version this will become the default behavior.

If you want to resolve datasources for single/multiple option field from your Storyblok components, you can use --resolve-datasources or --rd, it will fill up the options fields with the datasource's options.

$ storyblok pull-components --space <SPACE_ID> # Will save files like components-1234.json

$ storyblok pull-components --space <SPACE_ID> --separate-files --prefix-presets-names --file-name production # Will save files like feature-production.json grid-production.json

$ storyblok pull-components --space <SPACE_ID> --resolve-datasources # Will resolve datasources for single/multiple option field

Options

space: your space id
separate-files: boolean flag to save components and presets in single files instead a file with all
path: the path to save your components and preset files
file-name(optional): a custom filename used to generate the component and present files, default is the space id

quickstart

Create a space in Storyblok and select the boilerplate to use

$ storyblok quickstart

generate-migration

Create a migration file (with the name change_<COMPONENT>_<FIELD>.js) inside the migrations folder. Check Migrations section to more details

$ storyblok generate-migration --space <SPACE_ID> --component <COMPONENT_NAME> --field <FIELD>

It's important to note that the component and field parameters are required and must be spelled exactly as they are in Storyblok. You can check the exact name by looking at the Block library inside your space.

Options

space: space where the component is
component: component name. It needs to be a valid component
field: name of field

run-migration

Execute a specific migration file. Check Migrations section to more details

$ storyblok run-migration --space <SPACE_ID> --component <COMPONENT_NAME> --field <FIELD> --dryrun

Optionally you can provide the publish parameter to publish content after saving. Example:

$ storyblok run-migration --publish published --space 1234 --component article --field image

Options

space: the space you get from the space settings area
component: component name. It needs to be a valid component
field: name of field
dryrun: when passed as an argument, does not perform the migration
publish (optional): publish the content when update
- all: publish all stories, even if they have not yet been published
- published: only publish stories that already are published and don't have unpublished changes
- published-with-changes: publish stories that are published and have unpublished changes
publish-languages (optional): publish specific languages. You can publish more than one language at a time by separating the languages by ,

rollback-migration

The rollback-migration command gives the possibility to undo the changes made from the execution of the last run-migrations command.

$ storyblok rollback-migration --space 1234 --component Product --field title

Important: The rollback-migrations command will only work if there where changes done with run-migrations. Therefore running run-migrations command with the --dryrun flag will NOT create a rollback file.

options

space: the space you get from the space settings area
component: component name. It needs to be a valid component
field: name of field

spaces

List all spaces of the logged account

$ storyblok spaces

import

This command gives you the possibility to import flat content from .csv, .xml and .json files coming from other systems.

The attributes path and title are required.

$ storyblok import --file <FILE_NAME> --type <TYPE_OF_CONTENT> --folder <FOLDER_ID> --delimiter <DELIMITER_TO_CSV_FILES> --space <SPACE_ID>

A xml file needs to have following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    "category": "press"
  }
]

Options

delete-datasources

The delete-datasources command enables you to remove all datasources within the designated space. By utilizing the --by-slug option, you can filter the datasources based on their slugs, selectively deleting specific datasources. Similarly, the --by-name option functions in the same way, allowing you to filter and delete datasources based on their names.

$ storyblok delete-datasources --space-id <SPACE_ID> # Will delete all datasources

$ storyblok delete-datasources --space-id <SPACE_ID> --by-slug global-translations   # Will only delete datasources where the slug starts with global-translations

Options

space-id: your space id
by-slug: Filter Datasources by slug
by-name: Filter Datasources by name

Content migrations

Content migrations are a convenient way to change fields of your content.

To execute a migration you first need to create a migration file. This file is a pure Javascript function where the content of a specific content type or component gets passed through.

1. Creating a migration file

To create a migration file, you need to execute the generate-migration command:

# creating a migration file to product component to update the price
$ storyblok generate-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price

When you run this command a file called change_product_price.js will be created inside a folder called migrations.

The created file will have the following content:

// here, 'subtitle' is the name of the field defined when you execute the generate command
module.exports = function (block) {
  // Example to change a string to boolean
  // block.subtitle = !!(block.subtitle)

  // Example to transfer content from other field
  // block.subtitle = block.other_field
}

In the migration function you can manipulate the block variable to add or modify existing fields of the component.

2. Running the migration file

To run the migration function you need to execute the run-migration command. Pass the --dryrun option to not execute the updates and only show the changes in the terminal:

$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price --dryrun

After checking the output of the dryrun you can execute the updates:

# you can use the --dryrun option to not execute the updates
$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price

3. Publishing the content

You can execute the migration and, when update the content, publish it using the --publish and --publish-languages options. When you use the publish option, you need to specific one of these following options: 'all', 'published' or 'published-with-changes':

$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price --publish all

You can specify the languages to update using --publish-languages=<LANGUAGE> or update all languages using --publish-languages=ALL_LANGUAGES:

# to update only one language
$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price --publish all --publish-languages=de

# to update more than one language
$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field price --publish all --publish-languages=de,pt

4. Rollback migrations

Whenever you run a run-migrations command a json file containing all the content before the change takes place will be generated. Important, this just doesn't apply if you add the --dryrun flag.

Remembering that, the content that will be saved is always related to the last run-migrations command, that is, if you run the run-migrations command twice changing the same component, the content will only be saved before the last update.

Examples

1. Change an image field

Let's create an example to update all occurrences of the image field in product component. In the example we replace the url from //a.storyblok.com to //my-custom-domain.com.

First, you need to create the migration function:

$ storyblok generate-migration --space 00000 --component product --field image

Then let's update the default image field:

module.exports = function (block) {
  block.image = block.image.replace('a.storyblok.com', 'my-custom-domain.com')
}

Now you can execute the migration file:

$ storyblok run-migration --space 00000 --component product --field image --dryrun

2. Transform a Markdown field into a Richtext field

To transform a markdown or html field into a richtext field you first need to install a converter library.

$ npm install storyblok-markdown-richtext -g

Now check the path to the global node modules folder

$ npm root -g

Generate the migration with storyblok generate-migration --space 00000 --component blog --field intro and apply the transformation:

var richtextConverter = require('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/storyblok-markdown-richtext')

module.exports = function (block) {
  if (typeof block.intro == 'string') {
    block.intro = richtextConverter.markdownToRichtext(block.intro)
  }
}

Typescript

It is possible to generate Typescript type definitions for your Storyblok components. The type definitions are based on the components' JSON Schema that can be retrieved with the pull-components command.

generate-typescript-typedefs

Generate a file with the type definitions for the specified components' JSON Schemas.

$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs
  --sourceFilePaths <PATHS>
  --destinationFilePath <PATH>
  --typeNamesPrefix <STRING>
  --typeNamesSuffix <STRING>
  --JSONSchemaToTSOptionsPath <PATH>
  --customFieldTypesParserPath <PATH>

Options

sourceFilePaths _{(alias source)} : Path(s) to the components JSON file(s) as comma separated values
destinationFilePath _{(alias target) optional} : Path to the Typescript file that will be generated (default: storyblok-component-types.d.ts)
typeNamesPrefix _{(alias titlePrefix) optional} : A prefix that will be prepended to all the names of the generated types
typeNamesSuffix _{(alias titleSuffix) optional} : A suffix that will be appended to all the names of the generated types (default: Storyblok)
JSONSchemaToTSOptionsPath _{(alias compilerOptions) optional} : Path to a JSON file with a list of options supported by json-schema-to-typescript
customFieldTypesParserPath _{(alias customTypeParser) optional} : Path to the parser file for Custom Field Types

Examples

# Generate typedefs for the components retrieved for the space `12345` via the `storyblok pull-components` command
$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs --sourceFilePaths ./components.12345.json

# Generate typedefs for multiple components sources
$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs --sourceFilePaths ./fooComponent-12345.json,./barComponent-12345.json

# Custom path for the typedefs file
$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs --sourceFilePaths ./components.12345.json --destinationFilePath ./types/my-custom-type-file.d.ts

# Provide customized options for the JSON-schema-to-typescript lib
$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs --sourceFilePaths ./components.12345.json --JSONSchemaToTSOptionsPath ./PathToJSONFileWithCustomOptions.json

# Provide a custom field types parser
$ storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs --sourceFilePaths ./components.12345.json --customFieldTypesParserPath ./customFieldTypesParser.js

JSON Schema to Typescript options

This script uses the json-schema-to-typescript library under the hood. Values of the JSON Schema to Typescript options can be customized providing a JSON file to the JSONSchemaToTSOptionsPath.

The default values used for the storyblok generate-typescript-typedefs command are the same defaults for the library except for two properties:

bannerComment - The default value is "" to remove noise from the generated Typedefs file
unknownAny - The default value is false because it can help a smoother Typescript adoption on a JS project

Example JSONSchemaToTSOptions JSON file to remove additionalProperties from the generated type definitions:

{
  "additionalProperties": false,
}

Custom Field Types parser

Storyblok Custom Field Types do not have inherent JSONSchema definitions. To overcome this issue, you can provide a path to a script exporting a parser function that should render a JSONSchema Node for each of your Custom Field Types. The parser function should be exported as a default export, like in the following example:

export default function (key, obj) {
  switch (obj.field_type) {
    case 'my-custom-field-type-name':
      return {
        [key]: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            color: { type: 'string' }
          },
          required: ['color']
        }
      }
    default:
      return {}
  }
}
