✨ Features

Import on bootstrap - Easy automated deployment with importOnBootstrap

⏳ Getting started

Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:

# using yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-config-sync

# using npm
npm install strapi-plugin-config-sync --save

Add the export path to the watchIgnoreFiles list in the config/admin.js file. This way your app won't reload when you export the config in development.

`config/admin.js`:

1module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
2  // ...
3  watchIgnoreFiles: [
4    '**/config/sync/**',
5  ],
6});

After successful installation you have to rebuild the admin UI so it'll include this plugin. To rebuild and restart Strapi run:

# using yarn
yarn build
yarn develop

# using npm
npm run build
npm run develop

The Config Sync plugin should now appear in the Settings section of your Strapi app.

To start tracking your config changes you have to make the first export. This will dump all your configuration data to the /config/sync directory. You can export either through the CLI or Strapi admin panel

Enjoy 🎉
