Description

This is a plugin for Contentstack's CLI. It allows you to quickly retrieve information about Content Types in a Stack.

Why use this plugin

  1. The csdx content-type:audit command lists recent changes to a content type and by whom. This is useful when needing to find Content Type versions to compare with csdx content-type:compare. Audit logs are stored for 90 days within Contentstack.

  2. The csdx content-type:compare-remote command allows you to compare the same Content Type between two Stacks. This is useful when you have cloned or duplicated a Stack, and want to check what has changed in a child Stack.

  3. The csdx content-type:compare command allows you to compare multiple versions of a Content Type within a single Stack. This is useful when you are working in a development team, and want to compare changes made by colleagues.

  4. The csdx content-type:list command is useful when you want to see all the Content Types within a Stack. The Content Type's Display Name, UID, Last Modified Date, and Version number is shown. The list can be ordered by title or modified date. When developing against Contentstack, Content Type UIDs are needed when requesting data.

  5. The csdx content-type:details command provides useful information, such as:

    • Field UID and Data Types
    • Referenced Content Types
    • Options such as required, multiple, and unique
    • The full path to a field, useful when using the include reference endpoint or filtering operations, such as the equality endpoint.
  6. The csdx content-type:diagram command creates a visual representation of a Stack's content model.

    • The ouput format can be either svg or dot.
    • The diagram's orientation can be changed, using the -d landscape|portrait flag.
    • GraphViz is the layout engine. You can export the generated DOT Language source, using the -t dot flag.
    • Diagram Output

How to install this plugin

$ csdx plugins:install contentstack-cli-content-type

How to use this plugin

This plugin requires you to be authenticated using csdx auth:login.

Several commands, such as csdx content-type:compare support token aliases as input. These token aliases should be created using csdx auth:tokens:add.

The commands only use the Stack API Key. The management token is ignored. They are provided as a convenience, so the Stack API Keys do not have to be re-typed.

Usability

The csdx content-type:details command requires a wide terminal window. If the path column is not needed, you can hide it:

$ csdx content-type:details -a "management token" -c "content type" --no-path
