Resource Commands

Three command groups for browsing your Unlayer account:

  • workspace — list and switch workspaces.
  • project — list, switch, and inspect projects.
  • template — list, search, and fetch templates.

All three require authentication (unlayer login).

unlayer workspace​

Manage the active workspace.

workspace list​

List all workspaces you have access to. In a TTY (and without --json), this is interactive — pick a workspace from the list and the CLI offers to set it active and chain into a project picker. In CI or with --json, it prints a static DataTable.

unlayer workspace list                # interactive picker in a TTY; static table in CI
unlayer workspace list --json         # JSON to stdout, no prompts
FlagDescription
--jsonOutput as JSON

workspace use [workspace-id]​

Set the active workspace. With no argument, prompts interactively.

unlayer workspace use 42       # set explicitly
unlayer workspace use          # interactive picker
FlagDescription
--jsonOutput as JSON

The active workspace ID is stored in the global config. It's the default scope for project list and similar commands.

unlayer project​

Manage the active project.

project list​

List projects across accessible workspaces. Like workspace list, this is interactive in a TTY (pick a project to set it active) and a static DataTable in CI.

unlayer project list                  # interactive picker in a TTY; static table in CI
unlayer project list -w 42            # only workspace 42
unlayer project list --json
FlagDescription
-w, --workspace <id>Filter by workspace ID
--jsonOutput as JSON

project use [project-id]​

Set the active project (interactive picker if you omit the ID).

unlayer project use 17
unlayer project use            # interactive
FlagDescription
--jsonOutput as JSON

project info [project-id]​

Print detailed information for a project. Defaults to the active project.

unlayer project info           # active project
unlayer project info 17        # specific project
unlayer project info --json
FlagDescription
--project-id <id>Project ID (alias for the positional arg)
--jsonOutput as JSON

Handy in scripts:

PROJECT_NAME=$(unlayer project info --json | jq -r '.name')

unlayer template​

Browse and fetch templates.

template list​

List templates in a project. Defaults to the active project; pass --project-id to scope elsewhere. In a TTY this is interactive — after the list loads, pick a template to open an action menu (view, get JSON, etc.). In CI it prints a static DataTable.

unlayer template list                 # interactive picker in a TTY; static table in CI
unlayer template list --limit 20
unlayer template list -s welcome
unlayer template list --json
FlagDescription
--project-id <id>Filter templates by project ID
--limit <n>Maximum number of templates to return
-s, --search <query>Search templates by name
--jsonOutput as JSON

template search <query>​

Search templates by name, case-insensitive. Same interactive-vs-static behavior as template list.

unlayer template search welcome                       # interactive picker in a TTY
unlayer template search "black friday" --limit 10 --json
FlagDescription
--project-id <id>Filter by project ID
--limit <n>Maximum number of results
--jsonOutput as JSON

template get [template-id]​

Fetch a single template. Without an ID in a TTY, opens an interactive picker. In non-interactive mode without an ID, fails with exit 2 and lists available IDs.

By default (no --json, no --design-only, no -o), prints a key/value summary — name, ID, created/updated dates — plus a hint pointing at the flags below. To actually export the data, pick one of:

  • --json → full envelope to stdout as JSON.
  • --design-only → just template.design to stdout as JSON.
  • -o <file> → write envelope (or design with --design-only) to a file.
  • -o - → write to stdout.
# Interactive summary
unlayer template get 12345

# Print full envelope to stdout
unlayer template get 12345 --json

# Save envelope to file
unlayer template get 12345 -o ./welcome.json

# Just the design JSON, to file
unlayer template get 12345 --design-only -o ./welcome.design.json

# Pipe stdout (use - as the output target)
unlayer template get 12345 -o - | jq '.design.body.rows | length'
FlagDescription
-o, --output <file>Save output to file (- writes to stdout)
--design-onlyOutput only the design JSON
--project-id <id>Project ID to scope the lookup
--jsonOutput as JSON

To pull every template in a project at once, use unlayer pull instead of looping over template get.
