base44 functions pull

Pull deployed functions from Base44 to local files.

​
Syntax

npx base44 functions pull [name]

​
Arguments

ArgumentDescriptionRequired
[name]Function name to pull (pulls all if omitted)No

​
Authentication

Required: Yes. If not authenticated, you’ll be prompted to login first.

​
What It Does

  1. Fetches deployed functions from Base44
  2. Filters to the specified function if [name] is provided
  3. Skips functions owned by a plugin (they are not written locally)
  4. Writes function files to the local functions/ directory (configured in base44/config.jsonc)
  5. Reports each file as written (new/updated) or unchanged

​
Examples

# Pull all deployed functions
npx base44 functions pull

# Pull a specific function
npx base44 functions pull process-order

​
Output

$ npx base44 functions pull
✓ Functions fetched successfully
✓ Function files written successfully
✓ process-order              written
◆ send-notification          unchanged

✓ Pulled 2 functions to base44/functions
Single function: 
$ npx base44 functions pull process-order
✓ Functions fetched successfully
✓ Function files written successfully
✓ process-order              written

✓ Pulled 1 function to base44/functions

​
Error Handling

If the specified function is not found on remote: 
$ npx base44 functions pull nonexistent
✓ Function "nonexistent" not found on remote
If the specified function is plugin-owned: 
$ npx base44 functions pull plugin-func
✓ Function "plugin-func" is managed by a plugin and was not pulled into base44/functions
If no functions exist on remote: 
$ npx base44 functions pull
✓ No functions found on remote

​
Notes

  • Files are written to the functionsDir configured in base44/config.jsonc (defaults to functions/)
  • Files already matching remote content are skipped (reported as unchanged)
  • Plugin-owned functions are skipped — functions managed by a plugin are never written locally; they appear as plugin-owned, skipped in output
  • This overwrites existing local function files with remote versions — commit local changes first
  • Use npx base44 functions deploy to push local changes back to Base44
  • Use npx base44 functions list to see what functions are deployed on remote
