stackbit-strapi-content-source v0.1.0

Strapi content source for Stackbit

This is a POC of a Strapi Content Source Interface for Stackbit

This Content Source Interface is based on the example content source provided by Stackbit.

Usage

In stackbit.config.js file:

import {StrapiContentSource} from 'stackbit-strapi-content-source';

const config = {
    stackbitVersion: '~0.6.0',
    ssgName: '...',
    nodeVersion: '16',
    contentSources: [
        new StrapiContentSource({
            url: process.env.STRAPI_URL,
            token: process.env.STRAPI_TOKEN,
            jwt: process.env.STRAPI_JWT,
        }),
    ],
};

export default config;

In .env file:

STRAPI_URL=http://127.0.0.1:1337
STRAPI_TOKEN=...
STRAPI_JWT=...

With:

• STRAPI_TOKEN: a token created in Settings > API Tokens in Strapi. It is used to read/write on the Strapi API
• STRAPI_JWT: a JWT that you can get when logged in to Strapi admin by executing the following script in the browser console: JSON.parse(sessionStorage.jwtToken || localStorage.jwtToken). This is used to read the "content-manager" API that is required to discover Strapi model

Available features

• load Strapi schema
• load Strapi documents
• link Strapi document to Strapi content manager edit page
• updating a document field (only setting a new value)
• most content types mappings (basic types, relations, repeatable, components)

Missing features

• load Strapi assets
• watch content updates
• stop watching content updates
• localisation handling
• checking ACLs
• document creation
• most document updates
• document delete
• asset upload
• publish document

Other limitations

As Stackbit loads every Strapi document at startup, this won't work with more than a few hundreds documents in your CMS (long Stackbit start time + huge CPU/RAM usage in Stackbit UI as no pagination is present).
