Syncano command line utilities
Project description
Syncano command line tool
Build Status
Master
Develop
Installation
pip install syncano-cli
Usage:
First you need to login into your account
syncano login
It will ask you for your email and password and store account key in ${HOME}/.syncano file. You can also override account key with –key option.
You can specify the default instance name - that would be used in all CLI calls:
syncano login --instance-name patient-resonance-4283
After when you want to override this setting use –instance-name in particular command, eg:
syncano sync pull --instance-name new-instance-1234
Pulling your instance classes and scripts
In order to pull your instance configuration you can execute
syncano sync pull
This will fetch all Classes and Scripts into current working directory, and store configuration in syncano.yml file. If you want to pull only selected classes/scripts you can add -c/–class or -s/–script option eg.
syncano sync pull -c Class1 -c Class2 -s script_label_1 -s "script label 2"
Scripts source code is stored in scripts subdirectory, and names are based on script labels. Keep in mind that script labels in syncano are not unique, and this tools can’t handle this kind of situation.
Classes and Scripts configuration is stored in syncano.yml file. If file syncano.yml already exists only classes and scripts stored in this file, will be pulled and updated. If you want to pull whole instance you can use -a/–all flag.
Pushing your changes
When you have made some changes to syncano.yml or some script source code you can push the changes to syncano using
syncano sync push
It will push only changes newer then last synchronization time. This time is recorded using .sync file last modification time. If syncano.yml has changed it will try to push all data to syncano. Otherwise it will just push changed source code files for scripts. If you want to force push all changes you can use -a/–all option.
If you want to just push selected classes/scripts changes you can provide them with -c/–class or -s/–script options like in the pull example above.
Synchronization of changes in realtime
There is also an option to synchronize your project live. When you change syncano.yml or some script source code pointed to by syncano.yml your changes will be automatically pushed to syncano.
syncano sync watch
This command will push all your project configuration to syncano and will wait for changes made to project files. When it detects file modification it will push those changes to syncano.
Syncano Parse migration tool
This tool will help you to move your data from Parse to Syncano.
Usage:
Currently supports only transferring data. This tool takes the Parse schemas and transform them to Syncano classes. Next step is to move all of the data between Parse and Syncano. The last step is rebuilding the relations between objects.
Configuration
syncano migrate configure
Will run the configuration that will ask you for the following variables:
PARSE_MASTER_KEY: the master key of your PARSE account;
PARSE_APPLICATION_ID: the application ID of the application that you want to transfer;
SYNCANO_ADMIN_API_KEY: Syncano Account Key;
SYNCANO_INSTANCE_NAME: the Syncano instance name to which the transfer will be made;
syncano migrate configure command will take following parameters:
-c (–current) which will display the current configuration;
-f (–force) which allow to override the previously set configuration;
The configuration will be stored in your home directory in .syncano file under the P2S section. It’s used to call the Parse API and Syncano API as well.
Run migration
syncano migrate parse
This command will run the synchronization process between Parse and Syncano. Sit comfortably in your chair and read the output.
Syncano Hosting
Syncano Hosting is a simple way to host the static files. CLI supports it in the following way:
syncano hosting --list-files
This command will list files in hosting which match the default hosting.
syncano hosting --publish <base_dir>
This command will publish all files inside <base_dir> and will publish it to the Syncano Hosting (default one). The whole directory structure - will be mapped in Syncano Hosting.
Tips & Troubleshooting
This tool currently does not support checking if some object is already present in the Syncano instance, so if sync is run twice the end results is that data is duplicated. To avoid such cases, simply remove your instance in using Syncano dashboard;
The process can be quite slow - it’s because of the throttling on both sides: Parse and Syncano on free accounts (which is the bottom boundary for scripts);

The Syncano can be found on - please do not hesitate to ask for help or share your thoughts;
Running scripts
This command will allow you to execute any script (Script Endpoint) with optional payload and read the output.
Usage:
syncano execute <instance_name> <script_endpoint_name> --payload="<payload_in_JSON_format>"
