v1.19.0: DevLink export

v1.19.0 adds webflow devlink export, a new command that generates a static, self-contained DevLink bundle of your Webflow components as local React code that runs without a build-time connection to Webflow.

$webflow devlink export

Key features

  • Filter exports — Use components and componentGroups regex patterns in webflow.json to control what gets exported.
  • TypeScript or JavaScript — Output language is auto-detected from your project. Override with the ts option in webflow.json.
  • CSS scoping — Optional CSS style isolation via cssScopes to prevent style leakage.
  • Configurable output — Set the output location with rootDir, and rewrite link targets via relativeHrefRoot to fit any project layout.
  • CI-friendly — Authenticate via OAuth interactively, or set WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN / --api-token for non-interactive use. Target a site with --site or via webflow.json.

Also in this release: code library selection in library share is now searchable and sorted alphabetically.

v1.20.0: Global session auth and new auth commands

v1.20.0 introduces global session storage so a single webflow auth login covers all CLI commands, plus two new commands for inspecting and clearing your session.

Global session storage

Running webflow auth login now saves your credentials in two places:

  • Global session file — ~/.config/webflow/auth.json on macOS/Linux or %APPDATA%\webflow\auth.json on Windows. This is shared across all projects and survives outside any specific project directory.
  • Project .env file — WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN continues to be written for compatibility with existing 1.x workflows.

The WEBFLOW_API_TOKEN environment variable still takes precedence over the session file, so CI/CD pipelines that set it explicitly continue to work without changes.

New auth commands

  • webflow auth status — Shows the currently authenticated user (name and email) and the active OAuth scopes for the stored token.
  • webflow auth logout — Removes the global session file and logs you out of the CLI.

Version flag shorthand

The version flag has been changed from -V to -v for convenience.

Updates to DevLink Export

DevLink Export ships a major upgrade. A new webflow devlink export command replaces webflow devlink sync and walks you through setup the first time you run it. Exported components are fully-typed TSX by default, and the generated CSS is now isolated to your DevLink components via CSS @scope so it won’t leak into the rest of your app. Webflow’s native Slot element replaces DevLink Slots (with an in-canvas Convert action), and the new Attributes prop replaces Runtime Props (auto-conversion coming soon).

DevLink Export requires @webflow/webflow-cli v1.19.0 or later, on Node.js v22+.

New export workflow

  • New webflow devlink export command replaces webflow devlink sync. See Quickstart: DevLink Export.
  • The first run walks you through an interactive setup and saves your settings to webflow.json, so subsequent runs — manual or in CI — execute without prompts.
  • New components and componentGroups regex filters in webflow.json let you scope the export to a subset of your library. See Configuration options.
  • The webflow devlink export command now requires the DevLink Export read permission on OAuth and Site API tokens.

TypeScript by default

  • Exported components ship as fully-typed .tsx files with JSDoc comments. Set ts: false in webflow.json to opt out and emit .jsx instead.

Style isolation and CSS structure

  • New cssScopes option (enabled by default) wraps the exported styles in a CSS @scope rule tied to each component’s wrapper, so DevLink styles can’t leak into the rest of your app.
  • Categorized CSS files (normalize, defaults, variables, tags, classes, fonts) are imported from a single global.css you load once at your app root.

New Designer primitives

  • DevLink Export now supports Webflow’s native Slot element — the recommended replacement for DevLink Slots. Existing DevLink Slots continue to work but show a deprecation warning in the Designer; use the in-canvas Convert action to migrate. See Slots.
  • DevLink Export now supports the new Attributes prop — the recommended replacement for Runtime Props. Existing Runtime Props will be automatically converted soon. See Attributes.
  • New supported elements: Iframe, Inline Code, and Code Block. See Supported elements.

Broader component coverage

  • Nested components and any library components they depend on are automatically included in the export.
  • Conditional visibility settings on elements are compiled into the exported React code (Boolean, Enum, Number, Text, and Style Variant conditions).

Defaults and cleanup

  • The default export folder is now webflow/ at the root of the project (was devlink/).
  • The following options are no longer supported: cssModules, skipTagSelectors, envVariables, overwriteModule, fileExtensions.

Migration

Existing DevLink Sync projects can upgrade by following the Migrating to DevLink Export guide. It walks through the CLI bump, .env rename, webflow.json restructure, tsconfig and import-path updates, and the Designer-side migration of Runtime Props and DevLink Slots.
