@charlietango/react-umbraco v0.0.5

react-umbraco

A collection of React components for working with the Umbraco Content Delivery API.

Install

Install the @charlietango/react-umbraco package with your package manager of choice.

npm install @charlietango/react-umbraco

<UmbracoRichText>

Takes the rich text property from the Umbraco Content Delivery API and renders it with React.

Props

• element: The rich text property from the Umbraco Content Delivery API.
• renderBlock: Render a specific block type.
• renderNode: Overwrite the default rendering of a node. Return undefined to render the default node. Return null to skip rendering the node.

When passing the renderBlock and renderNode props, consider making them static functions (move them outside the consuming component) to avoid unnecessary re-renders.

import {
  UmbracoRichText,
  RenderBlockContext,
  RenderNodeContext,
} from "@charlietango/react-umbraco";
import Image from "next/image";
import Link from "next/link";

function renderNode({ tag, children, attributes }: RenderNodeContext) {
  switch (tag) {
    case "a":
      return <Link {...attributes}>{children}</Link>;
    case "p":
      return (
        <p className="text-lg" {...attributes}>
          {children}
        </p>
      );
    default:
      // Return `undefined` to render the default HTML node
      return undefined;
  }
}

function renderBlock({ content }: RenderBlockContext) {
  switch (content?.contentType) {
    // Switch over your Umbraco document types that can be rendered in the Rich Text blocks
    case "imageBlock":
      return <Image {...content.properties} />;
    default:
      return null;
  }
}

function RichText({ data }) {
  return (
    <UmbracoRichText
      element={data.richText}
      renderNode={renderNode}
      renderBlock={renderBlock}
    />
  );
}

Blocks

You can augment the renderBlock method with the generated OpenAPI types from Umbraco Content Delivery API. That way you can correctly filter the blocks you are rendering, based on the contentType, and get the associated properties. Create types/react-umbraco.d.ts, and augment the UmbracoBlockItemModel interface with your applications definition for ApiBlockItemModel.

To generate the types, you'll want to use the Delivery Api Extensions package, alongside a tool to generate the types from the OpenAPI schema, like openapi-typescript.

types/react-umbraco.d.ts

import { components } from "@/openapi/umbraco";

// Define the intermediate interface
type ApiBlockItemModel = components["schemas"]["ApiBlockItemModel"];

declare module "@charlietango/react-umbraco" {
  interface UmbracoBlockItemModel extends ApiBlockItemModel {}
}
