redux-ghost v0.1.0

redux-ghost

Installation

npm install --save redux-ghost

Getting Started

Step 1

Enable your Ghost blog to expose a public api following this tutorial. Make note of your client_id, client_secret and host (e.g. http://localhost:2368).

Step 2

For a quick test, follow the example, otherwise configure redux ghost with your credentials in step 1 and give the Ghost reducer to redux. Ensure you also include the thunk middleware.

import { createStore, combineReducers, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import ReduxGhost, { reducer as ghostReducer } from 'redux-ghost';

ReduxGhost.config({
  host: '', // e.g. http://localhost:2368
  clientId: '', // e.g. ghost-frontend
  clientSecret: '', // e.g. 4837a41df11b
});

const rootReducer = combineReducers({
  blog: ghostReducer,
});

const store = createStore(rootReducer, null, applyMiddleware(thunk));

Step 3

Set up your store as you normally would, and fire off those actions.

import React from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux';
import { actions } from 'redux-ghost';

const App = ({ actions, blog }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => actions.getPosts()}>Load Posts</button>
      {blog.posts.data && blog.posts.data.map((post, index) => (
        <div key={index}>
          <h2>{post.title}</h2>
          <p>Published on: {post.published_at}</p>
          <p>Slug: {post.slug}</p>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

const mapStateToProps = ({ blog }) => ({
  blog,
});

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => ({
  actions: bindActionCreators(actions, dispatch)
});

export default connect(
  mapStateToProps,
  mapDispatchToProps,
)(App);

Actions

Call your actions how you like, I prefer binding mine to props using bindActionCreators.

Actions available:
