Extracting Meta Data

There are helpers in Shopware CLI to extract data of an extension. This is useful in your CI/CD pipeline to get the extension version, name, or the changelog for the automated release.

Extracting the version

To extract the version of an extension, you can use the following command:

shopware-cli extension get-version <path>

The path can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. The command will output the version of the extension.

Extracting the name

To extract the name of an extension, you can use the following command:

shopware-cli extension get-name <path>

The path can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. This is useful in CI/CD pipelines when you need to programmatically determine the extension identifier.

Extracting the changelog

To extract the changelog of an extension, you can use the following command:

shopware-cli extension get-changelog <path>

The path can be absolute or relative to the current working directory. The command will output the changelog of the extension.

It will output always the English changelog.

Configuration schema

To view the JSON schema for the .shopware-extension.yml configuration file, you can use:

shopware-cli extension config-schema

This outputs the JSON schema that describes all available configuration options in .shopware-extension.yml. This is particularly useful for AI agents and automation tools that need to understand the extension configuration structure.
