Kontent Management Javascript SDK

Javascript SDK for the Kontent Management. Helps you manage content in your Kentico Kontent projects. Supports both node.js and browsers.

Gzip bundle

Getting started

To get started, you'll first need to have access to your Kentico Kontent project where you need to enable Content management API and generate access token that will be used to authenticate all requests made by this library.

Installation

This library has a peer dependency on rxjswhich means you need to install it as well. You install it using npm or use it directly in browser using one of the cdn bundles.

npm

npm i rxjs --save
npm i @kentico/kontent-management --save

Using a standalone version in browsers

If you'd like to use this library directly in browser, place following script tags to your html page. You may of course download it and refer to local versions of scripts.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rxjs/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@kentico/kontent-management/_bundles/kontent-management.umd.min.js"></script>

Making the first request

The following code example shows how to create new content item in your Kentico Kontent project.

import { ManagementClient } from '@kentico/kontent-management';

const client = new ManagementClient({
        projectId: 'xxx', // id of your Kentico Kontent project
        apiKey: 'yyy', // Content management API token
    });

    client.addContentItem()
        .withData(
            {
                name: 'New article',
                type: {
                    codename: 'article' // codename of content type
                }
            }
        )
        .toObservable()
        .subscribe((response) => {
            // work with response
        },
        (error) => {
            // handle error
        });

If you are using UMD bundles directly in browsers, you can find this library under KontentManagement global variable.

			// you should use proxy server and set authorization header there rather than here
			apiKey: 'yyy'
		});

		client.addContentItem()
            .withData(
                {
                    name: 'New article',
                    type: {
                        codename: 'article'
                    },
                }
            )
            .toObservable()
            .subscribe((response) => {
                // work with response
            },
            (error) => {
                // handle error
            });

Configuration

const client = new ManagementClient({
    // configuration options
});

Option	Default	Description
`projectId`	N/A	Required - Id of your Kentico Kontent project
`apiKey`	N/A	Required - Content management API Token
`baseUrl`	https://manage.kontent.ai/v2/projects	Base URL of REST api. Can be useful if you are using custom proxy or for testing purposes
`retryStrategy`	undefined	Retry strategy configuration. If not set, default strategy is used.
`httpService`	HttpService	Used to inject implementation of `IHttpService` used to make HTTP request across network. Can also be useful for testing purposes by returning specified responses.
