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 compontent 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

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)
  }
}
