About: recreate repository and "Custom Types" automatically using local project

[mozgbrasil (Marcio dos Amorim)]

Good afternoon

Hello everyone

Who can help

I executed the following command where the theme was downloaded, the repository was created, and the "Custom Types" was created

prismic theme --theme-url https://github.com/prismicio/reactjs-starter --conf /src/prismic-configuration.js --folder prismicio-reactjs

I accessed the repository and deleted it, I would like to know how do I recreate the repository and "Custom Types" automatically, since I already have the project with "Custom Types" in my local environment

Hello Marcio, welcome to the Prismic community forum!

It’s really easy to do, you just need to paste the JSON of the custom types in a new repo and pass the name of that new repo to your project configuration (you can find these files in the custom_types folder at the root of your project). Follow these steps:

• Create a new repository
• Go to the ‘Custom type’ page and create a new Custom type, in the case of this React Starter, this should be a Repeatable type with the name of ‘Page’.
• Click in the JSON editor at the right of the Custom type editor and paste the corresponding JSON. In the case of this React Starter, this is the JSON that you should paste. Save.
• Then head over to your project and change the name of your repository in the prismic-configuration.js file.

That should be it, create a document, run your project and everything should look good!

If you need any further help let us know

Hello, thanks for interacting

I would like to do the same automation that is done when the command "prismic theme" is used, which in this case already creates the repository and custom_types automatically, that is, without having to do it manually in the prismic dashboard.

Is there a command that does this, or a library?

Hey!

If I understood correctly, you’d like to recreate the same steps that you did when you first ran the command, is that right? If that is correct, you’ll need to run the command again, this will create a new repo, with those Custom types and automatically connect it to your project.

prismic theme --theme-url https://github.com/prismicio/reactjs-starter --conf /src/prismic-configuration.js --folder prismicio-reactjs

That’s how you do it if you want to start all over again.
If you rather use the project that you already have in your local, then the steps I shared with you in my first response is the way to go.
