DataTable commands in the mabl CLI

Starting with version 1.50.1, the mabl CLI supports commands to describe, list, create, update, and export DataTables from your workspace! Use mabl CLI DataTable commands to make bulk updates to large DataTables and update DataTables without having to navigate to the DataTables page in the app.

Try it out

To try out the new DataTable commands, make sure the mabl CLI installed on your local machine uses version 1.50.1 or higher.

# Check the mabl CLI version
$ mabl -v

# Update the mabl CLI to the latest version
$ npm i -g @mablhq/mabl-cli

The new DataTable commands include the following:

Command	Description
`mabl datatables create <input>`	Create a new mabl DataTable
`mabl datatables describe <datatable_id>`	Describe a specific DataTable
`mabl datatables export <datatable_id>`	Export a DataTable in a specified file format
`mabl datatables list`	List DataTables in your workspace
`mabl datatables update <datatable_id> <input>`	Update a mabl DataTable

Check out our docs for more details on how each command works.

In the UI
