contensis-cli
Advanced tools
A fully featured Contensis command line interface with a shell UI provides simple and intuitive ways to manage or profile your content in any NodeJS terminal.
Use Contensis from your favourite terminal
Download the executable for your operating system from the Releases page and add it to a folder in your local PATH
or use your preferred installation method below
choco install contensis-cli
brew tap contensis/cli
brew install contensis-cli
brew tap contensis/cli
brew install contensis-cli-linux
Install the package via npm as a global module (requires Node.js)
npm i --global contensis-cli@prerelease
If you use nvm and are frequently switching your local node version it will also switch your global node_modules each time, it is recommended use one of the binary installations instead.
Clone the repository and follow the instructions in the README
Try
contensis connect example-dev
or
contensis help
The CLI uses exactly the same commands as the shell. It is recommended you use and familiarise yourself with the cli by using the shell and then use the same cli commands when you need to in script-based context such as continuous integration environments.
Launch the shell by running just the command contensis
If you need to, you can supply all the necessary options to connect to a Contensis project and perform an operation in a single command
You can supply the following options with any command - although they don't appear in help text:
-a --alias
-p --project-id
-u --user
-pw --password
-id --client-id
-s --shared-secret
Using this approach in the cli or the shell will assume these credentials are for your current envioronment and will set the local environment cache for subsequent commands
Running the container with the -it docker options will launch a shell session
docker pull ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:latest
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:latest
Add the cli command and any options after the container image in the docker run command e.g.
docker run --rm ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:latest get entries "test"
To use the cli container for multiple commands or to save connections for future sessions, map a volume to the docker container
⚠️ Ensure a file called `environments.json` exists before mapping the volume to the docker container. If it doesn’t exist, create this empty file first.Linux
touch environments.json
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/environments.json:/usr/src/app/environments.json -it ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:latest
Windows
echo {} > environments.json
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/environments.json:/usr/src/app/environments.json -it ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:latest
push-to-contensis-block:
stage: push-to-contensis
only:
- master
image: ghcr.io/contensis/cli/main/app:release
script:
# Create CI/CD Variables in repo settings called CONTENSIS_CLIENT_ID and CONTENSIS_SHARED_SECRET
- contensis connect example-dev --project-id website --client-id $CONTENSIS_CLIENT_ID --shared-secret $CONTENSIS_SHARED_SECRET
- contensis push block example-website-block $APP_IMAGE:latest --release
- name: Push block to Contensis
uses: contensis/cli-action@v1
with:
block-id: example-website-block
# auto-release: true # release the block straight away
alias: example-dev
project-id: website
client-id: ${{ secrets.CONTENSIS_CLIENT_ID }} # create secrets for actions
shared-secret: ${{ secrets.CONTENSIS_SHARED_SECRET }} # in repo settings
tag-repo: true # tag commit with block version
git-token: ${{ github.token }} # to allow the git tag
Most lightweight CI environments will likely not ship with the ability to easily load and unlock an encrypted keychain.
In these environments you will see a warning message when using the cli with any credentials, in most cases this type of envioronment is normally disposed of after the command/session has completed and the warning can be safely ignored.
[WARN] Could not connect to local keystore - your password could be stored unencrypted!
Note There is a workaround for installing a secret store and launching an X11 session with an unlocked keyring which has been left in here below for anyone who wishes to try it
The required credentials to run commands are stored and read from a secret store libsecret. Without the secret store running and unlocked we receive an error Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libsecret-1-0 dbus-x11 gnome-keyring
export $(dbus-launch)
dbus-launch
gnome-keyring-daemon --start --daemonize --components=secrets
echo 'neil' | gnome-keyring-daemon -r -d --unlock
Also, if you are running within a docker container, it requires --cap-add=IPC_LOCK option when running the container. Otherwise gnome-keyring-daemon will fail with: gnome-keyring-daemon: Operation not permitted
An executable script is available to test: contensis-cli-headless you will need sudo access to install additional libraries with apt-get
The shell is the preferred way to use the cli, if the package is installed to your global node_modules you can start it by opening your terminal and typing contensis.

By default all Contensis operations are performed using the Management API. Some data fields are only available to output when searching the Delivery API e.g. sys.uri
To include the sys.uri field with the entries returned from the above example, as well as adding the sys.uri field to the --fields list, we would also include the --delivery-api option in the get entries command.

Connect to your "source" environment, ensure you can fetch the models from this environment first and that these models contain the dependencies you plan on importing to your "target" environment.
Check that the right assets will eventually be imported with the list models or get model {modelIds...} command
When you are happy the expected models are being returned for your import, you should then connect to your "target" environment (and set project) and when we are successfully connected to our target project, call the import models command, ensuring you add any arguments you used with your get model check earlier.

Add the --commit option to make the changes, be very careful using this! There is no going back
Connect to your "source" environment first, ensure you can fetch the entries you plan on importing from here and your query / filters are working to fetch exactly the data you are expecting with the get entries command. Add the --dependents option to fetch all of the entries that will eventually be imported.
When you are happy you can fetch only the data you intend to import, connect to the "target" environment (and project) then use the same query as before except with the import entries command

Add the --commit option to make the changes, be very careful using this! There is no going back
This command allows us to copy the contents of one entry field to another, this is useful if, for example - when a field is named incorrectly, or was specified originally as one field type but we would like to curate and present this content differently in future.
The required inputs for using copy field are:
contentTypeId: the content type containing the field to copyfieldId: the field id containing the source datadestinationId: the target field id where the data will be copied toCopying field data from one field to another can only be done with fields that exist in the content type, and with the source and destination field types are metioned in the transformation matrix
Similar to the import commands, the copy command is safe to run again and again for testing and reviewing the output. The changes are made to the entries permanently when the --commit option is added.
To copy the contents of one field to another use the command like this:
copy field <contentTypeId> <fieldId> <destinationId>
For the next example, we will copy the contents of a field called text into another field called heading, in the contentPage content type
website t.durden@example-dev> copy field contentPage text heading

We can request more output for our preview by adding --output-entries changes option and we will see a diff of the entries that have updates applied to them.
If the number of entries to copy in a content type are too large to manage, or if we are testing the copy field command with a subset of entries we can supply one of the following options to limit the entries that are returned when we run the copy field command.
--id: copy the field contents of one entry only--zenql: provides the finest level of control over the returned entries--search: limits the results with a simple keyword or phraseConsult the command copy field --help to see all of the available options
, in order to transform the contents of a Composer field in an entry to a canvas field type, we achieve this by rendering each item in the Composer as simple HTML representation internally before parsing this markup and converting it to canvas then adding the output to our destination entry field, working in the same way as if we were copying the contents of a rich text field type (containing markup) to a canvas field.

For fine-grained control of what is rendered or copied into the target field we can supply a --template option with a string value that is a LiquidJS template with access to variables we can use to directly drive how the output is written into our target field
The syntax for applying a template with the copy field command is
copy field blog description kicker --template "<h2>{{ value }}</h2>"
in this example the value from description field will be wrapped in a <h2> tag before being added to the kicker field
The template must be surrounded in double-quotes and be entered (or pasted) in a single line for it to be parsed correctly with the intended command.
Adding a template containing html? Attributes can be wrapped in single quotes.
Escape characters and new lines can be introduced inside templates when calling contensis copy field from your system shell as a cli command. This is OS/shell dependent and does not work in the Contensis shell (due to the combined layers of command parsing)
Further documentation on using templates
As we do not actually commit the output of a copy field command until specified we can also save the entries preview containing the new field data.
With the saved output we can examine the raw output of each entry containing the copied field data before we choose to load it, or we can repurpose the saved entries output for further processing.
Add the --save-entries option to the copy field command, remember to also include the --output copy-entries.json option, specifying the file where the output will be saved.
copy field contentPage composer canvas --save-entries --output canvas-entries.json
