Saw someone give Contentlayer a shout-out on Twitter so I came to check it out. I could definitely see how support for Contentful would allow us to remove a significant amount of boilerplate needed to incorporate content in our NextJS app. Will be excited to try this out once you add support for remote sources.

hi everyone.

I'd love to help update the docs and contribute to the plugin. Our company is using contentful for +- 30 content types and +1000 entities and we have all the issues that @schickling talked about in Lee Robinsons interview.:

very slow build
content is being fetched multiple times
too much logic in the contentful-sdk and too much coupling with contentful query language

Now, in the documentation contentful is marked as 'experimental' but going through the code, I can only find code with mocked data.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks for your comment @digitalbase. I'm excited to hear you're looking forward to use Contentlayer together with Contentful. Unfortunately there isn't any update yet in regards to a production-grade Contentful content source (however you can find the experimental source code here).

Answer 11 · 2023-03-31T14:56:13.000Z

Thanks Johannes @schickling , although I thought this was more going to be a way to download the Contentful posts and convert them to MDX, or am I missing something? One of the reasons I am moving to ContentLayer is to replace Contentful entirely.

I am currently doing that by combinign contentful-export, @contentful/rich-text-html-renderer and turndown, so I can use all content with ContentLayer after some adjustments.

Answer 12 · 2023-04-11T16:25:48.000Z

@itsjavi The exact approach is still TBD. However, the intention is that Contentlayer makes working with a content source easier, not that it replaces the source.

The approach you're taking to replace Contentful sounds like a good one, and should also work nicely with Contentlayer.

Answer 13 · 2023-10-18T15:53:33.000Z

I totally by accident found out about contentlayer and when i saw an example code in the introductory blog post with processing MD content and how easy it is to achieve same with Contentlayer, i shed a tear!

Can't wait for contentful adapter to be released to use contentlayer for my portfolio website.

Answer 14 · 2023-12-27T20:03:14.000Z

currently running a blog using nextjs and contentful, would love to see contentlayer on top of contentful with type safe
