Crystallize CLI

This new version is fully written in Bun and can be installed in a much more standard way. The CLI is built for the future of Crystallize, whether you're using it locally to enhance your Developer Experience or within your CI/CD pipelines to automate tasks.

Two older CLIs—@crystallize/cli and @crystallize/cli-next—are now deprecated. These were available on NPM and installable via npx (or similar), and while they still function, they are now primarily used for installing legacy templates.

curl -LSs https://crystallizeapi.github.io/cli/install.bash | bash

curl -LSs https://crystallizeapi.github.io/cli/install.bash | bash

Concerned about what this script does? It's fully open-source, so you can review it yourself. It primarily detects your OS and platform to download the latest version of the CLI from GitHub.

The CLI enhances Developer Experience while also being CI/CD-friendly for automation.

• Boilerplate Installation: Automates tedious setup steps:
• 1. Cloning the repository
  2. Creating the tenant
  3. Populating data in the tenant
  4. Setting up the .env file
  5. Installing dependencies
• Tenant Management: Currently supports create for empty tenants and generating invitations for existing ones. Future contributions are welcome!
• Token Management: Fetch and generate access tokens easily.
• Image Uploads: Quickly upload and register images, whether a single file or an entire folder.
• Mass Operations: Experimental but functional. You can dump your content model as JSON, run mass operations, and execute sets of mutations.

Most commands are interactive. If credentials are missing, or input is required, the CLI will prompt you. To disable interactivity (e.g., in a CI environment), use --no-interactive where applicable.

The CLI stores credentials in ~/.crystallize/credentials.json when saved interactively. It checks for credentials in the following order:

1. Environment variables: CRYSTALLIZE_ACCESS_TOKEN_ID and CRYSTALLIZE_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
2. Command options: --token_id and --token_secret
3. Stored file: ~/.crystallize/credentials.json

An interactive command designed to simplify setting up boilerplates.

~/crystallize boilerplate install <folder> [tenant-identifier] [boilerplate-identifier]

~/crystallize boilerplate install <folder> [tenant-identifier] [boilerplate-identifier]

• folder (required): The installation directory.
• tenant-identifier and boilerplate-identifier (optional): If omitted, a wizard will guide you.

Creating a Tenant
Creates a new tenant and removes default shapes for a clean setup.

~/crystallize tenant create <tenant-identifier>

~/crystallize tenant create <tenant-identifier>

• Runs non-interactively with --no-interactive if credentials are available.
• If the identifier is taken, the CLI will inform you and suggest an alternative.

Inviting Users to a Tenant
Generates invitation links for new users.

~/crystallize tenant invite <tenant-identifier>

~/crystallize tenant invite <tenant-identifier>

Options:

• --role: Default is tenantAdmin, but other roles are available.
• --expiry: Default is 6 hours; you can customize it.
• --number: Default is 1; you can generate multiple invites.

Uploads and registers images in the Asset Organizer.

~/crystallize image upload <tenant-identifier> <file> [output-file]

~/crystallize image upload <tenant-identifier> <file> [output-file]

• file can be a single file or a folder (uploading all contained images).
• output-file (optional) stores mappings for automation.

Example output:

{	
	    "clean-name-png": "crystallize-key",	
	    "images-crystallize-png": "my-tenant/25/1/12/3435d2d0/images/crystallize.png"	
	}

{	
	    "clean-name-png": "crystallize-key",	
	    "images-crystallize-png": "my-tenant/25/1/12/3435d2d0/images/crystallize.png"	
	}

Use --force to overwrite an existing output-file.

Creates a Mass Operation file containing the content model (Shapes and Pieces).

~/crystallize mass-operation dump-content-model <tenant-identifier> <file>

~/crystallize mass-operation dump-content-model <tenant-identifier> <file>

Use --force to overwrite an existing file.

Running a Mass Operation
Executes a Mass Operation file by uploading it, registering the operation, and waiting for completion.

~/crystallize mass-operation run <tenant-identifier> <file>

~/crystallize mass-operation run <tenant-identifier> <file>

• Use --legacy-spec to convert an old Spec File to a Mass Operation file.

Executing Mutations
A client-side utility to automate mutations.

~/crystallize mass-operation execute-mutations <tenant-identifier> <file> [image-mapping-file]

~/crystallize mass-operation execute-mutations <tenant-identifier> <file> [image-mapping-file]

• file: Contains the mutations (format below).
• image-mapping-file (optional): Injects image paths into variables.

Mutation Format

{	
	    "create-products": {	
	        "target": "pim",	
	        "mutation": "mutation CreateProduct($input: CreateProductInput!) { product { create(language: \"en\", input: $input) { id } } }",	
	        "sets": []	
	    },	
	    "publish-items": {	
	        "mutation": "mutation PublishItems($ids: [ID!]!) { publishItems(language: \"en\", ids: $ids) { success { itemId } } }",	
	        "target": "core",	
	        "sets": [{ "ids": ["$create-products[0].product.create.id"] }]	
	    }	
	}

{	
	    "create-products": {	
	        "target": "pim",	
	        "mutation": "mutation CreateProduct($input: CreateProductInput!) { product { create(language: \"en\", input: $input) { id } } }",	
	        "sets": []	
	    },	
	    "publish-items": {	
	        "mutation": "mutation PublishItems($ids: [ID!]!) { publishItems(language: \"en\", ids: $ids) { success { itemId } } }",	
	        "target": "core",	
	        "sets": [{ "ids": ["$create-products[0].product.create.id"] }]	
	    }	
	}

Dependency Management
Use references like $create-products[0].product.create.id to pass IDs from one operation to another.
