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
minka layout export --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
minka layout export [--raw]
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.
