This command permanently deletes the page, just like removing it through the platform, thus special care is advised.

Sync operations

Push a page

Push a local Page's files to Ubidots cloud.

 Usage: ubidots pages push [OPTIONS]

 Update and synchronize your local page code with the remote server.

╭─ Options ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --yes      -y                        Confirm file overwrite without prompt.  │
│ --profile  -p                  TEXT  Profile to use.                         │
│ --verbose      --no-verbose          [default: no-verbose]                   │
│ --help                               Show this message and exit.             │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

This command must be executed from the local page's directory.

If the page has never been pushed before, the CLI will prompt you to confirm creating a new page on the remote server. The remote page ID is saved to local metadata after the first push so subsequent pushes are linked automatically.

Pull a page

Pull a Page's files from Ubidots cloud to your local machine.

 Usage: ubidots pages pull [OPTIONS]

 Retrieve and update your local page code with the latest changes from the
 remote server.

╭─ Options ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --remote-id  -i                  TEXT  The remote page ID.                   │
│ --profile    -p                  TEXT  Profile to use.                       │
│ --yes        -y                        Confirm file overwrite without        │
│                                        prompt.                               │
│ --verbose        --no-verbose          [default: no-verbose]                 │
│ --help                                 Show this message and exit.           │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

When running from outside a page directory, --remote-id is required and the page is created in a new subdirectory. When running from inside an existing page directory, the local metadata is used to determine the remote ID automatically.

Local development

Pages are static assets (HTML/JS/CSS) executed inside Ubidots. The primary workflow is: write your files locally, then ubidots pages push — the page is then available in the Ubidots UI for preview.

The pages dev commands described below give you a local preview server with hot reload, accessible at http://localhost:8080/<page-name>. This is convenient for rapid iteration but is not required — you can always push and preview in Ubidots.

The pages dev subcommand group provides local development commands for Ubidots Pages. All commands (except dev add and dev list) must be run from inside the page's directory. Note: pages dev start requires Docker to be running.

 Usage: ubidots pages dev [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

 Local development commands for Ubidots pages.
