![Logo of gatsby-source-custom-api](https://github.com/andreasfaust/gatsby-source-custom-api/raw/master/gatsby-source-custom-api-logo.png) | ||
|
||
**gatsby-source-custom-api** helps you sourcing data from any API and transform it into Gatsby nodes. Define keys you want to be transformed into image-nodes and use them with **[Gatsby Image](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-image/)**. | ||
|
||
## Getting Started | ||
|
||
1. Install the package with **yarn** or **npm** | ||
|
||
`yarn add gatsby-source-custom-api` | ||
|
||
2. Add to plugins in your gatsby-config.js | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
module.exports = { | ||
plugins: [ | ||
{ | ||
resolve: "gatsby-source-custom-api", | ||
options: { | ||
url: "www.my-custom-api.com" | ||
} | ||
} | ||
] | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Options | ||
|
||
| **Name** | **Type** | **Description** | | ||
| :-------- | :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | ||
| url | object or string | `Required.` Url of your API as a string. If you have two different APIs for development and production, define an object with the keys `production` and `development`. | | ||
| rootKey | string | `Optional.` Name your API. | | ||
| imageKeys | array | Define the keys of image objects. These must have a childkey called `url`, which is a string that defines the path to an image file. Gatsby-Images are added as childkey `local`. Default: `['image']`. | | ||
| schemas | object | Define default-schemas for the objects of your API. See "Provide Default Schemas" for more information. | | ||
|
||
## Provide Default Schemas | ||
|
||
You need to provide default schemas for the arrays and objects of your API to avoid GraphQl-errors. You can provide default schemas via the prop `schemas`. More information: [https://graphql.org/learn/schema/](https://graphql.org/learn/schema/) | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
// Lets assume this is the data from your API: | ||
const exampleDataFromApi = [ | ||
{ | ||
url: "post-1", | ||
images: [ | ||
{ | ||
url: "image-1.jpg", | ||
modified: 1556752476267 | ||
}, | ||
{ | ||
url: "image-2.jpg", | ||
modified: 1556752702168 | ||
} | ||
], | ||
author: { | ||
firstname: "John", | ||
lastname: "Doe" | ||
} | ||
} | ||
]; | ||
|
||
// This is the content of your gatsby-config.js | ||
// and what you need to provide as schema: | ||
module.exports = { | ||
plugins: [ | ||
{ | ||
resolve: "gatsby-source-custom-api", | ||
options: { | ||
url: { | ||
development: "http://my-local-api.dev", // on "gatsby develop" | ||
production: "https://my-remote-api.com" // on "gatsby build" | ||
}, | ||
imageKeys: ["images"], | ||
rootKey: "posts", | ||
schemas: { | ||
posts: ` | ||
url: String | ||
images: [images] | ||
author: author | ||
`, | ||
images: ` | ||
url: String | ||
modified: Int | ||
`, | ||
author: ` | ||
firstname: String | ||
lastname: String | ||
` | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
] | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Images | ||
|
||
`Gatsby Source Custom API` automatically downloads your image-files, so you can use them with **[Gatsby Image](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-image/)**. | ||
|
||
#### How does it recognize images? | ||
|
||
The default key for images is `image`. You can also define your own image keys with the option `imageKeys`. Images have to be objects containing a childkey called `url`, which is a string that defines the path to an image file. Gatsby-Images are added as childkey `local`. | ||
|
||
#### What about Caching? | ||
|
||
If your image object provides a key called `modified`, this key gets cached and compared every time you build or develop. If it stays the same, the already downloaded version of the image-file is used. | ||
|
||
## Transform Nodes to Pages | ||
|
||
This is an example of how you use the required nodes to automatically generate pages: Insert the following code into the file `gatsby-node.js`. The sample key here is an array called `posts`. All array-elements can be required in GraphQl via `allPosts`. In this example the posts have a child-key called "url", which defines their path and serves as marker to find them in your matching React-component (`pages/post.js`). | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
const path = require("path"); | ||
|
||
exports.createPages = async ({ graphql, actions }) => { | ||
const { createPage } = actions; | ||
const result = await graphql(` | ||
{ | ||
allPosts { | ||
nodes { | ||
url | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
`); | ||
return Promise.all( | ||
result.data.allPosts.nodes.map(async node => { | ||
await createPage({ | ||
path: node.url, | ||
component: path.resolve("./src/pages/post.js"), | ||
context: { | ||
// Data passed to context is available | ||
// in page queries as GraphQL variables. | ||
url: node.url | ||
} | ||
}); | ||
}) | ||
); | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In your `pages/post.js` you can require the data like so: | ||
|
||
```jsx | ||
import React from "react"; | ||
import { graphql } from "gatsby"; | ||
|
||
const Post = ({ data }) => { | ||
return <h1>{data.posts.title}</h1>; | ||
}; | ||
|
||
export const query = graphql` | ||
query($url: String) { | ||
posts(url: { eq: $url }) { | ||
url | ||
title | ||
image { | ||
local { | ||
childImageSharp { | ||
fluid(maxWidth: 2000) { | ||
...GatsbyImageSharpFluid_withWebp | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
alttext | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
`; | ||
|
||
export default Post; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Replace conflicting Keys | ||
|
||
Some of the returned keys may be transformed, if they conflict with restricted keys used for GraphQL such as the following `['id', 'children', 'parent', 'fields', 'internal']`. These conflicting keys will now show up as `[key]_normalized`. (Thanks to [gatsby-source-apiserver](https://github.com/thinhle-agilityio/gatsby-source-apiserver)) | ||
