You can use this little global node utility to fetch your strapi endpoints and save them as static JSON files in a dir of your choice.
The idea behind it has born while needing to embed server contents in a static-generated website. You can then make them dynamic-like triggering strapi-to-static and a re-build.
It's extremely simple and easy to use.
Install globally:
npm install -g strapi-to-static
Accepted CLI arguments:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| contentTypes | array | content types slugs to fetch from your strapi server |
| dir | string | define your JSON files output directory |
| apiURL | string | the URL in which your strapi server runs |
Example of usage:
strapi-to-static --contentTypes=['news'] --dir=src/data --apiURL=http://localhost:1337
Then you will have your endpoints exported as single JSON files in the chosen directory.
The best thing is to associate it with a custom "scripts" command in a project's package.json, so the output dir is relative to it.
Example:
{
"scripts": {
"fetch": "strapi-to-static --contentTypes=['news'] --dir=src/data --apiURL=http://localhost:1337",
},
}
