wix app generate manifest

Regenerates the auto-generated portion of an Editor React Component extension's manifest. This command reads your project's build output, so you must run the build command first. Components that aren't in the last build are skipped without a warning.

Important: You must run this command whenever you make manual changes to a component's React code, CSS, or types. AI coding agents that use Wix skills know to regenerate the manifest automatically, so you only need to run it yourself when you edit the component directly.

Note: wix app dev doesn't regenerate the manifest. If you edit a component and only restart the dev server, the editor keeps using the previous manifest.

Prerequisites

The command runs only in a project that has the @wix/cli-zero-config-flow package set up.

Make sure that:

  • Your project has the @wix/cli-zero-config-flow package installed.
  • Your project's wix.config.mjs file imports zeroConfig from @wix/cli-zero-config-flow and includes zeroConfig({ appId }) in the flows array.

Usage

Copy

What the command does

For each Editor React Component in the last build, the command regenerates <component-name>.generated.ts with an updated editorElement object.

The command doesn't modify <component-name>.extension.ts, which holds the rest of the manifest and imports the editorElement from the generated file.

For more information about the auto-generated output, see Editor React Component Extension Files and Code.
