Import example data for a Gatsby starter

flotiq import [projectName] [flotiqApiKey]

This command imports Content Types and Content Objects from Gatsby starter to your Flotiq account using the API key. Gatsby starter must include directory .flotiq with ContentType[0-9] folders, each of them containing ContentTypeDefinition.json file, and contentObject[0-9].json files.

The number at the end of the directory or file name defines the file import order. The .flotiq/images directory in a particular starter stores images that will be imported into your Media Library.

Import variables

There is a possibility to use dynamic data in json files. We implemented our parser to create dynamic date value, but it can be extended in the future. To use dynamic date in imported contentObject.json files use {{date}} function:

• {{date}} means now, outputs e.g. 2022-01-01
• {{date:+5d}} means now + 5 days, outputs e.g. 2022-01-06
• {{date:-5m}} means now - 5 months, outputs e.g. 2021-06-01
• {{date:+5y}} means now + 5 years, outputs e.g. 2027-01-01
