B2C Content Skill

Use the b2c CLI to export, list, and validate Page Designer content from Salesforce B2C Commerce content libraries.

Tip: If b2c is not installed globally, use npx @salesforce/b2c-cli instead (e.g., npx @salesforce/b2c-cli content export homepage).

Examples

Export Pages

# export a single page from a shared library
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary

# export multiple pages
b2c content export homepage about-us contact --library SharedLibrary

# export pages matching a regex pattern
b2c content export "hero-.*" --library SharedLibrary --regex

# export to a specific output directory
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary -o ./my-export

# export a specific component by ID
b2c content export hero-banner --library SharedLibrary

# export from a site-private library
b2c content export homepage --library RefArch --site-library

# preview without downloading (dry run)
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary --dry-run

# export with JSON output
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary --json

# export from a local XML file (offline, no instance needed)
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary --library-file ./library.xml --offline

# filter pages by folder classification
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary --folder seasonal

# custom asset extraction paths
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary -q "image.path" -q "video.url"

# include orphan components in export
b2c content export homepage --library SharedLibrary --keep-orphans

List Content

# list all content in a library
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary

# list only pages
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary --type page

# list including components
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary --components

# show tree structure
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary --tree

# list from a site-private library
b2c content list --library RefArch --site-library

# list from a local XML file
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary --library-file ./library.xml

# JSON output
b2c content list --library SharedLibrary --json

Configuration

The --library flag can be configured in dw.json or package.json so you don't need to pass it every time:

// dw.json
{
  "hostname": "my-sandbox.demandware.net",
  "content-library": "SharedLibrary"
}

// package.json
{
  "b2c": {
    "contentLibrary": "SharedLibrary"
  }
}

With a configured library, commands become shorter:

b2c content export homepage
b2c content list --type page

Validate Metadefinitions

# validate a single metadefinition file
b2c content validate cartridge/experience/pages/storePage.json

# validate all metadefinitions in a directory recursively
b2c content validate cartridge/experience/

# validate with a glob pattern
b2c content validate 'cartridge/experience/**/*.json'

# explicitly specify the schema type
b2c content validate --type componenttype mycomponent.json

# JSON output for CI/scripting
b2c content validate cartridge/experience/ --json

Schema types are auto-detected from file paths (experience/pages/ → pagetype, experience/components/ → componenttype) and from JSON content. Use --type to override.

More Commands

See b2c content --help for a full list of available commands and options in the content topic.

Troubleshooting

"Library is required" -- Set --library flag or configure content-library in dw.json.
Authentication errors -- OAuth credentials are required for remote operations. Run b2c auth:login first. The --library-file flag bypasses authentication for offline/local use.
Library not found -- Verify the library ID matches exactly. For site-private libraries, add --site-library.
No content found -- Check that the page/content IDs exist. Use b2c content list to discover available IDs.
Timeout errors -- Large libraries may exceed the default timeout. Use --timeout <seconds> to increase it.
