How to export a layout
CLI allows users to export layouts.
Exporting a layout with CLI
Ensure that you are connected to a server and have an active ledger set in the context before proceeding.
There are couple of ways to export a layout:
Exporting a full layout from the currently active ledger
This command will export the layout from the currently active ledger and save it to the layouts
folder in the minka CLI directory. The layout will be saved as a JSON file named after the current ledger, with proper formatting.
Exporting other layouts
This command will open an interactive prompt that will allow you to select the layout you want to export. There are three types of layouts you can choose from:
- Built-in layouts - layouts that are provided by the Minka team and reside in the Minka CLI.
- Custom layouts - layouts that are present in the
layouts
folder in the minka CLI directory. - Policy layouts - policy layouts that are stored in the ledger.
The --raw
flag is optional and will export the layout in raw format - format where inputs values are not resolved.
