The Marketplace Kit is a command line interface that helps you deploy configuration files and assets to your platformOS site. It also allows you to use team collaboration tools like git in your workflow, and it works with cloud storage providers like Amazon AWS S3.
Requirements
Marketplace Kit requires Node.js version 8 or higher to work properly.
Installation
Follow our Installing the Marketplace Kit tutorial to install the Marketplace Kit.
Commands and options
All commands should be run in the project root directory (one level above the marketplace_builder directory).
Usage:
marketplace-kit [options] [command]
Help:
The help [cmd] displays help for the command in [cmd], for example:
marketplace-kit help data
Options
-V,--version: Display the version number-h,--help: Display usage information
Commands
audit
Check your code for deprecations, recommendations, errors.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| audit | marketplace-kit audit |
marketplace-kit audit |
data
Export, import or clean data on instance.
Operations:
export <environment>: export Instance data to a JSON fileimport <environment>: import Instance data from a JSON fileclean <environment>: remove all stored data in users, models, etc. Execute with caution, there is no coming back. Works only on staging.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| data export | marketplace-kit data export <environment> |
marketplace-kit data export production |
| data import | marketplace-kit data import <environment> |
marketplace-kit data import production |
| data clean | marketplace-kit data clean <environment> |
marketplace-kit data clean staging |
deploy
Deploy code to environment. It is recommended to first deploy to staging, test, and only then trigger deploy to production as desribed in the recommended Development Workflow.
Effectively, deploy creates a zip file that contains all your files and sends it to the API. It is then processed in the background. Each zip file is stored by us, to allow you to roll back in case something goes wrong.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| deploy | marketplace-kit deploy <environment> |
marketplace-kit deploy staging |

env
Manage environments.
To add your environment to a config file, run the env add command, and authenticate with your Partner Portal credentials. Configuration for environments is saved in the .marketplace-kit file.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| env add | marketplace-kit env add <environment> --email <your email> --url <your marketplace url> |
marketplace-kit env add staging --email myemail@example.com --url https://example.com |
| env list | marketplace-kit env list |
marketplace-kit env list |
Related topics:
gui
GUI for content editor, GraphQL.
To start the http server locally that will serve the GUI use the gui serve command.
GraphQL Browser: To explore your instance database using GraphQL open http://localhost:3333/gui/graphql in your web browser.
Resources editor: To list, edit, and create resources open http://localhost:3333/gui/editor in your web browser.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| gui serve | marketplace-kit gui serve <environment> |
marketplace-kit gui serve staging |
init
Initialize required directory structure.
In order to correctly communicate with the platformOS engine and API, your codebase should be organized into a specific directory structure. Use the marketplace-kit init command to download the directory structure in a zip file, and extract it into the current directory.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| init | marketplace-kit init |
marketplace-kit init |
Options:
--url <url>: theme GitHub repository URL (default: "https://github.com/mdyd-dev/directory-structure")--branch <branch>: branch where the theme is located (default: "master")
Related topics:
logs
Attach to environment log streams.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| logs | marketplace-kit logs <environment> |
marketplace-kit logs staging |
Options:
-c --config-file <config-file>: config file path (default: ".marketplace-kit")--interval <interval>: time to wait between updates in ms (default: 3000)
migrations
Generate, run, or list migrations.
Operations:
generate <environment> <name>: generate new empty migrationrun <environment> <timestamp>: run migration on environmentlist <environment>: list migrations and their statuses
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| migrations generate | marketplace-kit migrations generate <environment> <name> |
marketplace-kit migrations generate staging add_some_books |
| migrations run | marketplace-kit migrations run <environment> <timestamp> |
marketplace-kit migrations run staging 20180909123423 |
| migrations list | marketplace-kit migrations list <environment> |
marketplace-kit migrations list staging |
Related topics:
sync
Update environment on file change.
Enables sync mode: it checks what's different between the server and the local environment, and sends files after they have been changed on local. It only sends files that have changed after sync was started. It feels like working on localhost. It is recommended to use sync only for staging environments, as pushing changes immediately to production can be dangerous.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| sync | marketplace-kit sync <environment> |
marketplace-kit sync staging |
Related topics:
modules
Manage modules.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| modules list | marketplace-kit modules list <environment> |
marketplace-kit modules list staging |
| modules remove | marketplace-kit modules remove <environment> <name> |
marketplace-kit modules remove staging admin_module |
module templates
Templates provide automatic processing for easier module configuration. For example, upon installing a module, it is possible to specify URIs under which pages will be available after the module has been installed. This works both in sync and deploy mode.
Markup is the commonly used ERB/EJS stye: <%= =%> there is no logic supported, the only available filter is & which will unescape the value provided by the user (by default they are all escaped).
Values for variables have to be provided in the top-level "template-values.json", but the location of the configuration file can be set using the TEMPLATE_VALUES_FILE_PATH variable, for example by executing TEMPLATE_VALUES_FILE_PATH=templates/values.json marketplace-kit deploy staging file templates/values.json will be used as values for templates.
Example
A page with this code:
---
slug: <%= &desired_location =%>
---
This is using templates <%= what =%> !
And a template-values.json
{
"desired_location": "index",
"what": "magic"
}
will turn into this during deploy/sync:
---
slug: index
---
This is using templates magic !
help
Display help for command.
| Command | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| help | marketplace-kit help <command> |
marketplace-kit help data |
