Variables

You can use variables within the json files for defining entities when performing a sync.

Environment Variables

Use the syntax ${{ env ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_NAME }} to replace with an environment variable.

Argument Variables

Use the syntax ${{ var VARIABLE_NAME }} to replace with a variable passed on the command line.

These can be entered on the command line using the following syntax:

portal-cli sync --var VARIABLE_NAME=variable_value

Note: to include spaces in the value, surround both the key and value with quotes ("), e.g. "VARIABLE_NAME=variable value"

Example

Environment Variables:

COMPANY_NAME=Acme

Argument Variables:

portal-cli sync --var VERSION=1.0 --var "VERSION_NAME=Interesting Otter"

  "description": "${{ env COMPANY_NAME }} Sample API. Version ${{ var VERSION }} - ${{ var VERSION_NAME }}",
