gridsome-source-elliot v0.1.4

gridsome-source-elliot

Elliot source plugin for Gridsome

This plugin sources data from Elliot, using their headless API. It simplifies the process of querying the data, removes certain unecessary fields (i.e. admin-specific fields), and adds support for g-image.

Install

Yarn:

yarn add gridsome-source-elliot

NPM:

npm install gridsome-source-elliot

Usage

gridsome.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      use: 'gridsome-source-elliot',
      options: {
        keys: '<Elliot ENV keys>'
      }
    }
  ],
  templates: {
    Product: '/product/:slug',
    Collection: '/collections/:slug'
  }
}

You will need your Elliot keys to get started - follow the steps below to do so:

1. Login to Elliot Admin
2. Choose a Domain Space
3. Click on 'Get Headless' under the Developers section
4. Choose an Experience, and click 'Copy Variables to Continue'

It is recommended to add these to a .env file at the root of your project, as these are secret keys, and should NOT be exposed or included in a git repository etc.

.env

ELLIOT_KEYS="<paste variable string here>"

Then use this ENV in your config:

gridsome.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      use: 'gridsome-source-elliot',
      options: {
        keys: process.env.ELLIOT_KEYS
      }
    }
  ]
}

And you are good to go! Try exploring the different queries in the GraphQL Playground.
