# wix app generate manifest

Regenerates the auto-generated portion of an [Editor React Component](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/site-extensions/editor-react-components/about-editor-react-components.md) extension's manifest. This command reads your project's build output, so you must run the [`build`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/build.md) command first. Components that aren't in the last build are skipped without a warning.

<blockquote class="important">

**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](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/articles/ai-tools/about-wix-skills.md) know to regenerate the manifest automatically, so you only need to run it yourself when you edit the component directly.

</blockquote>

> **Note**: [`wix app dev`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/dev.md) 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`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/project-structure/folders-and-files/wix-config-mjs.md) file imports `zeroConfig` from `@wix/cli-zero-config-flow` and includes `zeroConfig({ appId })` in the `flows` array.

## Usage

```bash
wix app generate manifest
```

## 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](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/supported-extensions/site/editor-react-components/editor-react-component-extension-files-and-code.md).
