How to publish a manifest

Uniform manifest contains the configuration for personalization and A/B testing. This "config" file is needed for the web application instrumented with Uniform SDK in order to execute personalization or run an A/B test. Before changes to manifest can be used, it needs to be published. This guide shows different ways to publish a manifest.

Via GUI#

Easiest way if you have access to uniform.app, is to navigate to the Optimization area and click the Publish button. Top tip: the button will show the number of unpublished entities in manifest, if any.

Via CLI#

You need to install the Uniform CLI to be able to do this via npm install @uniformdev/cli and provide your Uniform project ID and API key into the .env file then run this npm script: uniform context manifest publish

See a working example of this in one of our Next.js starters here.

Via API#

Run the following POST request: https://uniform.app/api/v1/publish?siteId=<your-project-id>

Headers:

• x-api-key : <insert your API key>
  Pre-requisite: make sure you have an API key with permissions to publish the manifest.

Expected response: 204 No Content

Webhook event#

After manifest publishing, the following webhook event is executed: manifest.published

So if you have any functionality that needs to be notified about manifest publish, like a website rebuild, setup a webhook target using this webhook event type.
