storyblok-js-client

Universal JavaScript SDK for Storyblok's API

This client is a thin wrapper for the Storyblok API's to use in Node.js and the browser.

Install

# as axios is a peerDependency, you should install it too
npm install storyblok-js-client axios # yarn add storyblok-js-client axios

Usage

Using the Content Deliver API

// 1. Require the Storyblok client
const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client')

// 2. Initialize the client with the preview token
// from your space dashboard at https://app.storyblok.com
let Storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'xf5dRMMjltLzKOcNgMaU9Att'
})

Using the Content Management API

// 1. Require the Storyblok client
const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client')
const spaceId = 12345

// 2. Initialize the client with the oauth token
// from the my account area at https://app.storyblok.com
let Storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  oauthToken: 'YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN'
})

Storyblok.post(`spaces/${spaceId}/stories`, {story: {name: 'xy', slug: 'xy'}})
Storyblok.put(`spaces/${spaceId}/stories/1`, {story: {name: 'xy', slug: 'xy'}})
Storyblok.delete(`spaces/${spaceId}/stories/1`, null)

Using the RichTextResolver separately

You can import and use the RichTextResolver directly:

// you should need to use the format when import
// es - when you are in EsModules environment (like React, Vue apps, for example)
// cjs - when you are in NodeJS environment
// standalone - when you are in Browser environment directly

import RichTextResolver from 'storyblok-js-client/dist/rich-text-resolver.es'
// const RichTextResolver = require('storyblok-js-client/dist/rich-text-resolver.cjs')

const resolver = new RichTextResolver()

const html = resolver.render(data)

Using from the Browser directly

This package has a standalone version that contains all dependencies and you can use it to import and use our package inside the browser.

<!-- This import makes the StoryblokClient class available globally -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/storyblok-js-client@3.1.0/dist/index.standalone.js"></script>

<!-- This import makes the RichTextResolver class available globally -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/storyblok-js-client@3.1.0/dist/rich-text-resolver.standalone.js"></script>

If you want a bundle with Babel (for non-es6 browsers):

<!-- This import makes the StoryblokClient class available globally -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/storyblok-js-client@3.1.0/dist/es5/index.standalone.js"></script>

<!-- This import makes the RichTextResolver class available globally -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/storyblok-js-client@3.1.0/dist/es5/rich-text-resolver.standalone.js"></script>

Note about use of Babel

This package doesn't use the Babel by default in the final bundle. So, if you want a Babel transpiled file, you need to set the es5/ prefix on import:

// for CommonJS environments (NodeJS)
const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client/dist/es5/index.cjs')

// for EsModules environments
import StoryblokClient from 'storyblok-js-client/dist/es5/index.es'

Documentation

Class Storyblok

Parameters

• config Object
  • accessToken String, The preview token you can find in your space dashboard at https://app.storyblok.com
  • cache Object
    • type String, none or memory
  • (responseInterceptor Function, optional - You can pass a function and return the result, like axios' interceptors. For security reasons, Storyblok client will deal only with the response interceptor.)
  • (region String, optional)
  • (https Boolean, optional)
  • (rateLimit Integer, optional, defaults to 3 for management api and 5 for cdn api)
  • (timeout Integer, optional)
  • (maxRetries Integer, optional, defaults to 5)
  • (richTextSchema Object, optional - your custom schema for RichTextRenderer)
• (endpoint String, optional)

Activating request cache

The Storyblok client comes with a caching mechanism. When initializing the Storyblok client you can define a cache provider for caching the requests in memory. To clear the cache you can call Storyblok.flushCache() or activate the automatic clear with clear: 'auto'.

let Storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'xf5dRMMjltLzKOcNgMaU9Att',
  cache: {
    clear: 'auto',
    type: 'memory'
  }
})

Passing response interceptor

The Storyblok client lets you pass a function that serves as a response interceptor to axios. Usage:

let Storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'xf5dRMMjltLzKOcNgMaU9Att',
  cache: {
    clear: 'auto',
    type: 'memory'
  },
  responseInterceptor: (response) => {
    // one can handle status codes and more with the response
    if (response.status === 200) {
      // handle your status here
    }
    // ALWAYS return the response
    return response
  },
})

Code examples

Filter by content type values and path

const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client')

let client = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'zlRONoLBKrilxkz2k6fYuwtt'
})

// Filter by boolean value in content type
client.get('cdn/stories', {
    version: 'draft',
    filter_query: {
      is_featured: {
        in: true
      }

    console.log(res.data.stories)
  })

Download all content from Storyblok

Following a code example using the storyblok-js-client to backup all content on your local filesystem inside a 'backup' folder.

const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client')
const fs = require('fs')

let client = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'WcdDcNgDm59K72EbsQg8Lgtt'
})

let lastPage = 1
let getStories = (page) => {
  client.get('cdn/stories', {
      version: 'draft',
      per_page: 25,
      page: page
    }).then((res) => {

    let stories = res.data.stories
    stories.forEach((story) => {
      fs.writeFile('./backup/' + story.id + '.json', JSON.stringify(story), (err) => {
        if (err) throw err

        console.log(story.full_slug + ' backed up')
      })
    })

    let total = res.total
    lastPage = Math.ceil((res.total / res.perPage))

    if (page <= lastPage) {
      page++
      getStories(page)
    }
  })
}

getStories(1)

Initialize with a proxy server

const proxy = {
  host: host,
  port: port,
  auth: {
    username: 'username',
    password: 'password'
  }
}

const storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  ...
  https: false,
  proxy: proxy
})

How to define a custom schema for the RichTextRenderer

To define how to add some classes to specific html attributes rendered by the rich text renderer, you need your own schema definition. With this new schema, you can pass it as the richTextSchema option when instantiate the StoryblokClient class. You must follow the default schema to do this.

Below, you can check an example:

const StoryblokClient = require('storyblok-js-client')

// the default schema copied and updated
const MySchema = require('./my-schema')

let client = new StoryblokClient({
  accessToken: 'WcdDcNgDm59K72EbsQg8Lgtt',
  richTextSchema: MySchema
})

client.richTextResolver.render(data)

If you just want to change the way a specific tag is rendered you can import the default schema and extend it. Following an example that will render headlines with classes:

Instead of <p>Normal headline</p><h3><span class="margin-bottom-fdsafdsada">Styled headline</span></h3> it will render <p>Normal headline</p><h3 class="margin-bottom-fdsafdsada">Styled headline</h3>.

const RichTextResolver = require('storyblok-js-client/dist/richTextResolver')
const MySchema = require('storyblok-js-client/dist/schema')

MySchema.nodes.heading = function(node) {
  let attrs = {}

  if (node.content &&
      node.content.length === 1 &&
      node.content[0].marks &&
      node.content[0].marks.length === 1 &&
      node.content[0].marks[0].type === 'styled') {
    attrs = node.content[0].marks[0].attrs
    delete node.content[0].marks
  }

  return {
    tag: [{
      tag: `h${node.attrs.level}`,
      attrs: attrs
    }]
  }
}

let rteResolver = new RichTextResolver(MySchema)
let rendered = rteResolver.render({
  "content": [
    {
      "content": [
        {
          "text": "Normal headline",
          "type": "text"
        }
      ],
      "type": "paragraph"
    },
    {
      "attrs": {
        "level": 3
      },
      "content": [
        {
          "marks": [
            {
              "attrs": {
                "class": "margin-bottom-fdsafdsada"
              },
              "type": "styled"
            }
          ],
          "text": "Styled headline",
          "type": "text"
        }
      ],
      "type": "heading"
    }
  ],
  "type": "doc"
})

console.log(rendered)
