mergeway-cli create
Synopsis: Create a new object file that conforms to an entity definition.
Usage
mw [global flags] create --type <type> [--file path] [--id value]
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--type | Required. Type identifier to create. |
--file | Optional path to a YAML/JSON payload. If omitted, data is read from STDIN. |
--id | Optional identifier override. Useful when the payload omits the id field. |
Example
Run the command from the workspace root (or pass --root if you are elsewhere). Create a user by piping a YAML document and letting Mergeway write the file under data/users/:
cat <<'PAYLOAD' > user.yaml
name: Bob Example
PAYLOAD
mw create --type User --file user.yaml --id user-bob
Output:
User user-bob created
The command writes data/users/user-bob.yaml with the provided fields. Remove the temporary user.yaml file afterward and run mw validate to confirm the new object passes checks.
