I have been able to find a turnaround for exporting the schema using Node.js.
===========
To export your schema from a Directus instance using Node.js
Prerequisites
Node.js Installed: Ensure Node.js is installed on your system.
Directus Instance and Token: Obtain your source Directus project URL and access token.
Steps to Export the Schema
Setup Node.js Project:
Create a new directory and initialize a Node.js project:mkdir directus-schema-export
cd directus-schema-export
npm init -y
Install the required package:npm install cross-fetch
Create the Script:
Create a file, e.g., export-schema.js, and add the following code:
const fetch = require('cross-fetch');
// Replace with your actual Directus project URL and access token
const SOURCE_URL = 'https://your-directus-instance.com'; // Your Directus URL
const SOURCE_TOKEN = 'your-access-token'; // Your Directus access token
async function exportSchema() {
try {
const response = await fetch(`${SOURCE_URL}/schema/snapshot?access_token=${SOURCE_TOKEN}`);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`Failed to fetch schema: ${response.statusText}`);
}
const { data } = await response.json();
console.log('Schema exported successfully:', data);
return data;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error exporting schema:', error.message);
}
}
// Call the function
exportSchema();
Run the Script:
Execute the script using Node.js:node export-schema.js
The schema will be logged to the console. You can redirect it to a file:node export-schema.js > schema.json
