Knock CLI basics: notification workflows in code
The Knock CLI provides developers a way to bring resources in Knock directly into their codebases for local editing, version control, and CI/CD. In the first part of this series exploring the Knock CLI, we’ll cover the following:
installing the CLI from npm or homebrew
configuring the CLI with a config.json file
using the workflow list and get commands to read data about about existing workflows
pulling workflows into your codebase as JSON, MD, and HTML files
validating and pushing workflow changes back to Knock
Stay tuned for the next parts of this series covering email layouts and translations.
