Usage

To run a Ghost API migration, the required command is:

migrate letterdrop --apiToken <API token> --url https://example.com

It's possible to pass more options, in order to achieve a better migration file for Ghost:

• --apiToken
  • string - default: null
  • Letterdrop API key
• --url
  • string - default: null
  • URL to live site
• --verbose
  • bool - default: false
  • Show verbose output
• --zip
  • bool - default: true
  • Create a zip file
• --scrape
  • Configure scraping tasks
  • string - default: all
  • Choices: all, img, web, media, files, none
• --sizeLimit
  • number - default: false
  • Media files larger than this size (defined in MB i.e. 5) will be flagged as oversize
• --subscribeLink
  • Provide a path that existing /subscribe anchors will link to e.g. /join-us or #/portal/signup (# characters need to be escaped with a \)
  • string - default: #/portal/signup
• --subscribeText
  • Provide the button text for above subscribe links
  • string - default: Subscribe
• --addPrimaryTag
  • string - default: null
  • Provide a tag name which should be added to every post as primary tag
• --createAuthors
  • bool - default: true
  • Create authors based on data from Letterdrop
• --info
  • bool - default: false
  • Show initalisation info only
• --fallBackHTMLCard
  • bool - default: true
  • Fall back to convert to HTMLCard, if standard Mobiledoc convert fails
• --cache
  • Persist local cache after migration is complete (Only if --zip is true)
  • bool - default: true

A more complex migration command could look like this:

migrate letterdrop --apiToken <API token> --url http://example.com --addPrimaryTag News

This will get all posts, apply the tag 'News', and all posts will be by author test@example.com
