@artizy-io/strapi-utils

@artizy-io/strapi-utils exposes the smerge utility allowing to create a strapi backend application as a combination of multiple strapi templates. It also allows to use template as versioned packages and thus benefit from template updates.

smerge should be invoked as a post-install step in the backend application package.json file.

Usage

⚠️ the command line smerge utility requires a strapi patch which is applied in the postinstall step of the npm/yarn process. The command line patch-strapi applies the required patch (provided in the patches directory) either in a monorepo or a non-monorepo project.

The smerge merges following directories from multiple strapi templates. Supported templates are the regular strapi templates but also @artizy-io templates which can include config and extensions directories.

  +-- api
  +-- components
  +-- config
    +-- env
        +-- production
            server.js
    database.js
    plugins.js :
    server.js
  +-- data
  +-- extensions

to use the smerge utility and combine multiple strapi templates, update your backend strapi application with:
