Strapi Plugin Config Sync
A lot of configuration of your Strapi project is stored in the database. Like core_store, user permissions, user roles & webhooks. Things you might want to have the same on all environments. But when you update them locally, you will have to manually update them on all other environments too.
That's where this plugin comes in to play. It allows you to export these configs as individual JSON files for each config, and write them somewhere in your project. With the configs written in your filesystem your can keep track of them through version control (git), and easily pull and import them across environments.
Importing, exporting and keeping track of config changes is done in the admin page of the plugin.

Installation
Use npm
or yarn
to install and build the plugin.
yarn add strapi-plugin-config-sync
yarn build
yarn develop
Configuration
Some settings for the plugin are able to be modified by creating a file extensions/config-sync/config/config.json
and changing the following settings:
destination
The path for reading and writing the config JSON files.
required:
NO | type:
string | default:
extensions/config-sync/files/
minify
Setting to minify the JSON that's being exported. It defaults to false for better readability in git commits.
required:
NO | type:
bool | default:
false
importOnBootstrap
Allows you to let the config be imported automaticly when strapi is bootstrapping (on yarn start
). This setting should only be used in production, and should be handled very carefully as it can unintendedly overwrite the changes in your database.
PLEASE USE WITH CARE.
required:
NO | type:
bool | default:
false
include
Configs you want to include. Allowed values: core-store
, role-permissions
, webhooks
. By default these are all enabled.
required:
NO | type:
array | default:
["core-store", "role-permissions", "webhooks"]
exclude
You might not want all your database config exported and managed in git. This settings allows you to add an array of config names which should not be tracked by the config-sync plugin.

NO | type:
array | default:
[]
Naming convention
All the config files written in the file destination have the same naming convention. It goes as follows:
[config-type].[config-name].json
config-type
- Corresponds to the value in from the config.include setting.config-name
- The unique identifier of the config.
- For
core-store
config this is the key
value. - For
role-permissions
config this is the type
value. - For
webhooks
config this is the id
value
TODOs
