ExContentful is a module to interface with Contentful. Contentful is a powerful hosted CMS that exposes content via a JSON API.
I normally implement only the bits of an API that I need right now and then grow it over time so this will most definitely miss functionality till I either need it myself or get PRs for it. Contributions (any kind incl how to make it better) gratefully received :)
Make sure you add :excontentful to your apps section like so:
applications: [:excontentful]Next define your various token as Contentful distinguishes between different
APIs and has token for all of them. For nor the space_id and various token
are limited to one set. this limitation is just how I currently use Contentful
but can be extended in the future if needed (PRs welcome)
config :excontentful,
space: "SPACE_ID",
token: "CONTENT_DELIVERY_TOKEN",
prev_token: "CONTENT_PREVIEW_TOKEN",
mgmt_token: "CONTENT_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN"All set, just fire off queries and get back data:
{:ok, entry} = Excontentful.get_entry(ID)
{:ok, entry} = Excontentful.search_entry(CONTENT_TYPE, FIELD_NAME, FIELD_VALUE)
{:ok, entry} = Excontentful.search_entry_prev(CONTENT_TYPE, FIELD_NAME, FIELD_VALUE)
{:ok, entry} = Excontentful.publish_entry(ID)
{:ok, entries} = Excontentful.entries(CONTENT_TYPE)If available in Hex, the package can be installed
by adding excontentful to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:excontentful, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
