It's looking like we could be using headless CMS systems in teh future... Kentico offer their own headless CMS (and it seems really good!). This repo is my first attempt at rendering simple content from an API endpoint using React.
Note: Currently, this is client-side only! The next step would be to SSR this baby, which is totally do-able using this environment. I just don't have time right now to sort it. Feel free to chip in if you do
We're now rendering server-side first :)
- Install latest node
- Pull the repo
npm inpm start- Head to localhost:8080
- Head to https://kenticocloud.com
- Sign up for a free trial
- Once you're set up, and logged into your Kentico Cloud site, click the Kentico logo in the top left hand corner and click "Development"
- Copy the "Project ID"
- Replace the Project ID in
src/config/endpoints.jsonwith yours:
"content": "https://deliver.kenticocloud.com/your-project-id-here/items"You should now see some data on localhost:3000. If you don't, here is what might have happened:
- You pasted the Project ID wrong
- Kentico have changed their base project and the fields have changed. Try inspecting the data
- React doesn't like a field. Check the console.
- Slack me
@js
Render the content on the server, first- Look into the various content-specific endpoints Kentico provides
- Look at hooking up a view model, for easier data management
Add nodemon
