Publishing capability

Once your capability is tested and works, consider publishing it to the Superface registry. This will simplify the reuse of profile, map, and/or provider in other projects. The published capabilities will be also usable by other developers.

Prerequisites​

To publish content to the Superface registry, you need to:

  1. Have an existing Superface account.
  2. Have the Superface CLI installed.
  3. Have the local profile, map, and/or provider linked in super.json (as described in previous steps).

Log in to the registry​

First login with Superface CLI:

superface login

This will prompt you to login using the browser. Once you confirm the login return back to the terminal.

Publish the content​

Use the publish command with profile, provider, or map. You always need to specify a profile ID and provider name. The command has the following format:

superface publish profile|map|provider --profileId <profile-id> --provider <provider-name> [--dryRun]

<profile-id> corresponds to the profile ID including the scope (e.g. communication/send-sms), it can be a published profile. <provider-name> is a provider name as specified either in the local .provider.json file or already published provider.

Use the --dryRun option to preview the publishing. This is also useful for checking the capability for possible errors and issues (e.g. syntax errors or incompatibility between the map and the profile). For example:

superface publish profile --profileId my-profile --provider google-apis --dryRun

Publish profile​

If you are publishing a new capability start by publishing a profile:

superface publish profile --profileId my-profile --provider github

Publish provider​

When publishing a provider, its name must start with unverified- prefix otherwise the publishing fails (see Add a new provider for details about naming).

publish map --profileId communication/send-sms --provider unverified-my-provider

Publish map​

When publishing a new map, both its provider and the mapped profile must be already published.

superface publish map --profileId communication/send-sms --providerName twilio

Switch to the published capability​

After successful publishing the CLI will ask you to switch to the remote profile, map, or capability:

? Do you want to switch to remote profile instead of a locally linked one?: (Y/n)

Answering Y will disable the use of local files. If you plan on further updating and publishing the capability from the current project, answer N.
