The contentful-duplicate cli tool allows users to recursively duplicate entries in Contenful from source space/environment to target space/environment. The entries are traversed doen the lined tree and new entries with same fields/values are created.
This document describes how to use the tool. Follow the steps described below to setup your environment for work with the tool.
This tool requires cma_token(Content Management API Token) to work. It provides read and write access to your Contentful space. Contentful spaces under same account do share one cma_token for all of them but if you use the tool to duplicate content between Contentful acounts you will need cma_token for each of them.
To generate cma_token go to Space settings -> API keys. Then open the Content management tokens tab and click on "Generate personal token". Follow the steps to generate it. Note: Write the token to a file. It won't be shown to you anymore!
2.1. First we need to mark the ENTRY ID of entry or IDs of entities we want to recursively duplicate. Under the info tab/sidebar Contentful will display this info.
2.2. The space ID is available under Space settings -> General settings
when having above information open a terminal and invoke the tool command (if command is not available to you, probably you need to run npm link in the root repo folder).
Basic example - duplicate single entry
This will duplicate the entry and all its children recursively. It also add prefix and suffix to the name field of the entries replacing HOME with CONTACT.
contentful-duplicate \
--space-id '<source-space-id-here>' \
--mToken '<your-cma_token-here>' \
--entries '<entry-id-here>' \
--prefix '[COPY] - ' \
--suffix '[cloned]' \
--regex-pattern 'HOME' \
--replace-str 'CONTACT' \Duplicate multiple entries skipping some of them This will duplicate the entries but exclude some children. Means new entries will have linked children that are same as sorce not new copies of them.
contentful-duplicate \
--space-id '<source-space-id-here>' \
--mToken '<your-cma_token-here>' \
--entries '<entry-id1,entry-id2,entry-id3>' \
--exclude '<exclude-entry-id1,exclude-entry-id2,exclude-entry-id3>' \
