Source Control Identity Schemas + Theme Settings?

[Jtango18]

Hi all,

We've been getting Ory up and running for a couple of weeks now. One thing I'm looking to do as we move from Dev -> Prod is to make sure all our configuration is Source Controlled.

The 2 things I can't figure out how to retrieve are:

• Identity Schema
• Theme settings

Any ideas on how I can retrieve, and ultimately upload these settings from one project to another?

Cheers

For the schema, check out https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/model/manage-identity-schema and hit the "Ory CLI" tab - there you see the commands to retrieve and push the schema config.

@Benehiko how does that work for themes?

[Benehiko]

Themes aren't currently exposed to the project revision, hence the CLI won't be able to retrieve it. But one could still retrieve the Theme JSON using the APIs the Ory Console calls.

This is not a long-term solution, we will most likely have these exposed via the Ory CLI using API keys in future.

Copy your session cookie from the browser and use cURL

curl https://api.console.ory.sh/projects/<project-id>/branding --cookie "ory_session_ory=...."

Thanks @Benehiko - will the same technique allow me to POST/PUT/PATCH if I need to?

Yes it should. But I would warn against this since the behaviour of the API isn't documented for use outside of the Ory Console (yet). So no guarantees can be given at this point in time that breaking changes won't occur.

Although we try keep breaking changes to a minimum, APIs that aren't at the moment exposed (such as Themes) could have breaking changes without you knowing about it.
