Installation
Install @storyblok/js
:
npm install @storyblok/js
Create a new file and add code to utils/storyblok.ts
and replace the accessToken
with the preview API token of your Storyblok space.
import { storyblokInit, apiPlugin } from '@storyblok/js'
const { storyblokApi } = storyblokInit({
accessToken: '<your-access-token>',
bridge: true,
apiOptions: {
cache: { type: 'memory' },
},
use: [apiPlugin],
})
export async function getLinks() {
if (!storyblokApi) {
return
}
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get('cdn/links', {
version: 'draft',
})
const links = data ? data.links : null
return links
}
export async function getStory(slug: string) {
if (!storyblokApi) {
return
}
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get(`cdn/stories/${slug}`, {
version: 'draft',
})
const story = data ? data.story : null
return story
}
Options
When you initialize the integration, you can pass all @storyblok/js options. For spaces created in the United States, you have to set the region
parameter accordingly { apiOptions: { region: 'us' } }
.
// Defaults
storyblok({
accessToken: '<your-access-token>',
bridge: true,
apiOptions: {}, // storyblok-js-client options
useCustomApi: false,
})
Note: By default, the apiPlugin from
@storyblok/js
is loaded. If you want to use your own method to fetch data from Storyblok, you can disable this behavior by settinguseCustomApi
totrue
, resulting in an optimized final bundle.
Getting started
1. Creating and linking your components to the Storyblok Visual Editor
In order to link your components to their equivalents you created in Storyblok:
First, let's create a StoryblokComponent where we can load dynamically the component StoryblokComponent.tsx
:
import React, { FunctionComponent } from 'react'
import { ComponentsMap } from './components-list'
import { SbBlokData } from '@storyblok/js'
interface StoryblokComponentProps {
blok: SbBlokData
[key: string]: unknown
}
export const StoryblokComponent: FunctionComponent<StoryblokComponentProps> = ({ blok, ...restProps }) => {
if (!blok) {
console.error("Please provide a 'blok' property to the StoryblokComponent")
return <div>Please provide a blok property to the StoryblokComponent</div>
}
if(blok.component) {
const Component = getComponent(blok.component)
if (Component) {
return <Component blok={blok} {...restProps} />
}
}
return <></>
}
const getComponent = (componentKey: string) => {
// @ts-ignore
if (!ComponentsMap[componentKey]) {
console.error(`Component ${componentKey} doesn't exist.`)
return false
}
// @ts-ignore
return ComponentsMap[componentKey]
}
Then create a file components-list.ts
:
import PageStory from './page/PageStory'
import Grid from './grid/Grid'
import Feature from './feature/Feature'
import Teaser from './teaser/Teaser'
import { FunctionComponent } from 'react'
import { BlokComponentModel } from '../models/blok-component.model'
interface ComponentsMapProps {
[key: string]: FunctionComponent<BlokComponentModel<any>>;
}
export const ComponentsMap: ComponentsMapProps = {
page: PageStory,
grid: Grid,
feature: Feature,
teaser: Teaser,
}
For each component, use the storyblokEditable()
function on its root element, passing the blok
property that they receive:
For the components Teaser
for exemple create a file Teaser.tsx
in the components folder
:
import { FunctionComponent } from 'react'
import { BlokComponentModel } from '../../models/blok-component.model'
import { SbBlokData, storyblokEditable } from '@storyblok/js'
interface TeaserProps extends SbBlokData {
headline: string;
}
const Teaser: FunctionComponent<BlokComponentModel<TeaserProps>> = ({
blok,
}) => {
return <h2 {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>{blok.headline}</h2>
}
export default Teaser
Finally, you can use the provided <StoryblokComponent>
for nested components :
import { StoryblokComponent } from '../StoryblokComponent'
import { SbBlokData, storyblokEditable } from '@storyblok/js'
import { FunctionComponent } from 'react'
import { BlokComponentModel } from '../../models/blok-component.model'
interface PageStoryProps extends SbBlokData {
body: SbBlokData[];
}
const PageStory: FunctionComponent<BlokComponentModel<PageStoryProps>> = ({
blok,
}) => {
return (
<main {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>
{blok.body.map((nestedBlok) => (
<StoryblokComponent blok={nestedBlok} key={nestedBlok._uid} />
))}
</main>
)
}
export default PageStory
Note: The
blok
is the actual blok data coming from Storyblok's Content Delivery API.
Let's get our first Story page
In app/page.tsx
:
import styles from './page.module.css'
import { getStory } from '../utils/storyblok'
import { previewData } from "next/headers";
import StoryblokBridge from "../components/StoryblokBridge";
import { StoryblokComponent } from "../components/StoryblokComponent";
async function fetchData() {
const story = await getStory( 'home' )
return {
props: {
story: story ?? false,
},
}
}
export default async function Home() {
const { props } = await fetchData();
const data = previewData() as {key: string};
//Add this code if you need to use preview mode
const isPreviewMode = !!data && data.key === 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN';
const version = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_STORYBLOK_VERSION;
return (
<main className={ styles.container }>
{ isPreviewMode || version === 'draft' ?
<StoryblokBridge blok={ props.story.content }/> :
<StoryblokComponent blok={ props.story.content }/>
}
</main>
)
}
2. Use the Storyblok Bridge
Use the loadStoryblokBridge
function to have access to an instance of storyblok-js
:
'use client'
import { loadStoryblokBridge, SbBlokData } from '@storyblok/js'
import { StoryblokComponent } from './StoryblokComponent'
import { useState } from 'react'
const StoryblokBridge = ({ blok }: { blok: SbBlokData }) => {
const [blokState, setBlokState] = useState(blok)
loadStoryblokBridge()
.then(() => {
const { StoryblokBridge, location } = window
const storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge()
storyblokInstance.on(['published', 'change'], () => {
location.reload()
})
storyblokInstance.on(['input'], (e) => {
setBlokState(e?.story?.content)
})
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
return <StoryblokComponent blok={blokState} />
}
export default StoryblokBridge
Dynamic Routing
In order to dynamically generate Nextjs pages based on the Stories in your Storyblok Space, you can use the Storyblok Links API and the Nextjs generateStaticParams()
function similar to this example:
import styles from '../page.module.css'
import { StoryblokComponent } from '../../components/StoryblokComponent'
import { getLinks, getStory } from '../../utils/storyblok'
import StoryblokBridge from "../../components/StoryblokBridge";
import { previewData } from "next/headers";
interface Paths {
slug: string[]
}
export async function generateStaticParams() {
const links = await getLinks()
const paths: Paths[] = [];
Object.keys(links).forEach((linkKey) => {
if (links[linkKey].is_folder || links[linkKey].slug === 'home') {
return
}
const slug = links[linkKey].slug
let splittedSlug = slug.split('/')
paths.push({ slug: splittedSlug })
})
return paths
}
async function fetchData(params: Paths) {
let slug = params.slug ? params.slug.join('/') : 'home'
const story = await getStory(slug)
return {
props: {
story: story ?? false,
},
}
}
export default async function Page({ params } : {params: Paths}) {
const { props } = await fetchData(params);
const data = previewData() as {key: string};
//Add this code if you need to use preview mode
const isPreviewMode = !!data && data.key === 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN';
const version = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_STORYBLOK_VERSION;
return (
<main className={styles.container}>
{ isPreviewMode || version === 'draft' ?
<StoryblokBridge blok={ props.story.content }/> :
<StoryblokComponent blok={ props.story.content }/>
}
</main>
)
}
Using the Storyblok Bridge and preview mode
Create an API route for the preview, it should be defined at pages/api/preview.js
export default async function preview(req, res) {
const { slug = '' } = req.query
// get the storyblok params for the bridge to work
const params = req.url.split('?')
// Check the secret and next parameters
// This secret should only be known to this API route and the CMS
if (req.query.secret !== 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN') {
return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Invalid token' })
}
// Enable Preview Mode by setting the cookies
const location = `/${slug}?${params[1]}`
res.setPreviewData({
key: req.query.secret,
})
// Set cookie to None, so it can be read in the Storyblok iframe
const cookies = res.getHeader('Set-Cookie')
res.setHeader(
'Set-Cookie',
cookies.map((cookie) =>
cookie.replace('SameSite=Lax', 'SameSite=None;Secure')
)
)
res.writeHead(307, { Location: location })
res.end()
}
And in order to exit preview mode create a file pages/api/exit-preview.js
export default async function exit(req, res) {
const { slug = '' } = req.query
// Exit the current user from "Preview Mode". This function accepts no args.
res.clearPreviewData({})
// set the cookies to None
const cookies = res.getHeader('Set-Cookie')
res.setHeader(
'Set-Cookie',
cookies.map((cookie) =>
cookie.replace('SameSite=Lax', 'SameSite=None;Secure')
)
)
// Redirect the user back to the index page.
res.redirect(`/${slug}`)
}
