Description

fauna schema pull pulls a database’s remote .fsl schema files into a local schema directory.

If the database has staged schema, the command pulls the database’s remote staged schema by default. If the database has no staged schema, the command pulls the database’s remote schema.

To pull the remote active schema regardless of whether schema is staged, use the --active option. See Pull active schema files.

You can check whether a database has staged schema using fauna schema status.

Options

Option Description

Option	Description
`--active`	Pulls remote active schema files for the database into the local schema directory.
`--[no-]color`	Enables or disables color formatting for the output. Color formatting is enabled by default if the terminal supports it (determined using chalk/supports-color). Use `--no-color` to disable.
`--delete`	Delete `.fsl` files in the local directory that aren’t part of the database schema.
`--dir`	A local directory to pull `.fsl` files into. Defaults to the directory specified in `.fauna-project`.
`--endpoint`	Fauna server endpoint.
`--environment`	Environment to use from `.fauna-project`.
`--help`	Help for `schema pull` command.
`--secret`	Authentication secret. Overrides the secret in `.fauna-shell`. Use a scoped key to interact with a child database using a parent database’s admin key. For example, with a parent database’s admin key secret of `fn123`, you can access a child database by appending the child database name and role: `fn123:childDB:admin`.
`--timeout`	Connection timeout in milliseconds.
`--url`	Database URL. Overrides the `url` in `.fauna-shell`.
