kentico-kontent-nuxt-module

Add Kentico Kontent super power to your nuxt app 🔥

Features

The module makes it easy to do delivery client api calls via the Kentico kontent Delivery JS SDK.

Quick start

• Install via npm

npm i kentico-kontent-nuxt-module --save

• Add kentico-kontent-nuxt-module to modules section of nuxt.config.js

  /*
  ** Nuxt.js modules
  */
  modules: [
    'kentico-kontent-nuxt-module'
  ],
  kenticokontent: {
    projectId: 'xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx',
    enableAdvancedLogging: false,
    previewApiKey: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    globalQueryConfig: {
			usePreviewMode: true, // Queries the Delivery Preview API.
      useSecureMode: false,
		},
    baseUrl: 'https://custom.uri/api/KenticoKontentProxy',
    secureApiKey: 'xxx',
    enableSecuredMode: true
  },

Note: See the client configuration section of the Kentico Kontent Delivery SDK for all available configuration options.

• $nuxtDeliveryClient is now globally available.

 this.$nuxtDeliveryClient.items()
    .type('page')
    .toPromise()
    .then(response => console.log('DeliveryClient Response', response));

Note:

By default Nuxt can only work with promises. Therefor you always use the "toPromise" method provided by the Kentico Kontent Delivery SDK! RxJs operator's are not supported at the moment.

Typescript

Since version 7 the kentico-kontent-nuxt-module has typescript support!

Add the types to your "types" array in tsconfig.json after the @nuxt/types (Nuxt 2.9.0+) or @nuxt/vue-app entry

 {
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": [
      "@nuxt/types",
      "kentico-kontent-nuxt-module"
    ]
  }
}

Generating

When using a static generated deployment you may need to use the items-feed endpoint when generating your site (because the items endpoint has a rate limitation).

 this.$nuxtDeliveryClient.itemsFeedAll()
    .toPromise()
    .then(response => console.log('DeliveryClient Response', response));

Caching

API calls can be "cached" (they will be stored in memory) client side via the "viaCache" method.

 const query =  this.$nuxtDeliveryClient.items().type('page');
 const cacheSeconds = 30;
 this.$nuxtDeliveryClient.viaCache(query, cacheSeconds)
        .then(response => console.log('DeliveryClient Response', response));

Extending

If you need to customize the Kentico Kontent Delivery SDK by registering interceptors and changing global config, you have to create a nuxt plugin.

nuxt.config.js

{
  modules: [
    'kentico-kontent-nuxt-module',
  ],

  plugins: [
    '~/plugins/kenticokontentNuxtModule'
  ]
}

plugins/kenticokontentNuxtModule.js

export default function ({ store, $nuxtDeliveryClient }) {
    $nuxtDeliveryClient.config.globalHeaders = (queryConfig) => {
        let headers = [];
        headers.push({header: 'Authorization', value: 'bearer ' + store.state.token });
        return headers;
      }
  }

Type Resolvers

Type resolvers can also be registered by using a nuxt plugin:

plugins/kenticokontentNuxtModule.js

import { TypeResolver, ContentItem } from '@kentico/kontent-delivery';

class Page extends ContentItem {
    constructor() {
        super({
            richTextResolver: (item, context) => {
                // todo: implement
            },
            urlSlugResolver: (link, context) => {
                // todo: implement
            }
        });
    }
}

export default function ({ store, app, $nuxtDeliveryClient }) {
    $nuxtDeliveryClient.config.typeResolvers = [
        new TypeResolver('page', () => new Page())
    ]
}
