|
#### API Options

## Examples
|
|
|
|
To import from a file, prepend the filename with `@`:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul kv import @values.json
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To import from stdin, use `-` as the data parameter:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass the JSON directly, however care must be taken with shell
|
|
escaping:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul kv import "$(cat values.json)"
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To import under prefix, use `-prefix` option:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -prefix=sub/dir/ -
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
