Simple backup of DatoCMS content

dato.config.js

// First option:
// This will dump every content of a DatoCMS space in the "backup" directory
// To be used with the `dato dump` command (see https://docs.datocms.com/other/basic-usage.html)

module.exports = (dato, root, i18n) => {
  i18n.availableLocales.forEach(locale => {
    root.directory(`backup/${locale}`, localeDir => {
      dato.itemTypes.forEach(itemType => {
        localeDir.createDataFile(
          `${itemType.apiKey}.json`,
          `json`,
          dato.itemsOfType(itemType).map(item => item.toMap())
        )
      })
    })
  })
}

dump.js

// Second option
// Just use our API client to fetch all the records and save them in a JSON file

// To run it, just
// node dump.js

const SiteClient = require('datocms-client').SiteClient;
const fs = require('fs');

const client = new SiteClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN');

client.items.all()
.then(response => {
  fs.writeFileSync('dump.json', JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
})
