# Print

Print your `serverless.yml` config file with all variables resolved.

If you're using [Serverless Variables](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/openwhisk/guide/variables/)
in your `serverless.yml`, it can be difficult to know if your syntax is correct
or if the variables are resolving as you expect.

With this command, it will print the fully-resolved config to your console.

```bash
serverless print
```

## Options

- `format` Print configuration in given format ("yaml", "json", "text"). Default: yaml
- `path` Period-separated path to print a sub-value (eg: "provider.name")
- `transform` Transform-function to apply to the value (currently only "keys" is supported)

## Examples:

Assuming you have the following config file:

```yml
service: new-service
provider: openwhisk
custom:
  globalSchedule: cron(0 * * * *)

functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    events:
      - schedule: ${self:custom.globalSchedule}
  world:
    handler: handler.world
    events:
      - schedule: ${self:custom.globalSchedule}
```

Using `sls print` will resolve the variables in the `schedule` blocks.

```bash
$ sls print
service: new-service
provider: openwhisk
custom:
  globalSchedule: cron(0 * * * *)

functions:
  hello:
      handler: handler.hello
      events:
        - schedule: cron(0 * * * *) # <-- Resolved
  world:
      handler: handler.world
      events:
        - schedule: cron(0 * * * *) # <-- Resolved
```

This prints the provider name:

```bash
sls print --path provider --format text
```

And this prints all function names:

```bash
sls print --path functions --transform keys --format text
```
