netlify-subdomain-manager v0.1.4

Netlify Subdomain Manager

This CLI tool can be used to manage your subdomain aliases on Netlify using a JSON file as a source of truth.

Usage

You can the node script like so.

npm install netlify-subdomain-manager
netlify_subdomain_manager --help

Example JSON file

Where the JSON file is just a list of subdomain aliases you want. These will be prepended by the mainDomain. For example if the json file was like this:

["abc", "xyz"]

and the main domain was haseebmajid.dev then we would create the following aliases abc.haseebmajid.dev and xyz.haseebmajid.dev. It will also create the domain aliases that begin with www so the 4 domain aliases created will be

• www.abc.haseebmajid.dev
• abc.haseebmajid.dev
• www.xyz.haseebmajid.dev
• xyz.haseebmajid.dev
