Usage

mw [global flags] entity show <entity>

No additional flags. Use --format json if you prefer JSON output, and add the global --root flag when working outside the workspace root.

Show the Post entity in YAML form:

mw --root examples/full --format yaml entity show Post

Output (abridged):

  - data/posts/*.yaml
fields:
  title:
    type: string
    required: true
