Usage
@storyblok/svelte
helps you connect your Svelte project to Storyblok by:
- Providing the
getStoryblokApi
function to interact with the Storyblok APIs, using the storyblok-js-client; - Enabling real-time editing through the Storyblok Bridge;
- Providing the
StoryblokComponent
, which allows you to connect your components to the Storyblok Visual Editor.
Installation
Install @storyblok/svelte
npm install @storyblok/svelte
Please note that you have to use npm
- unfortunately, we are currently not supporting yarn
or pnpm
for this SDK.
Initialize the library in your application by adding the apiPlugin
and the access token of your Storyblok space:
import App from "./App.svelte";
import { storyblokInit, apiPlugin } from "@storyblok/svelte";
storyblokInit({
accessToken: "<your-token>",
// bridge: false,
use: [apiPlugin],
components: {
teaser: Teaser,
},
});
The best place to initialize the Storyblok library is in the main.ts.
or main.js
file if you are using svelte
or in the load()
function in the src/routes/+layout.js
file if you are using SvelteKit
.
List all your components to the components object in the storyblokInit function. You can load all of them by adding them to the list.
Region parameter
Possible values:
eu
(default): For spaces created in the EUus
: For spaces created in the USap
: For spaces created in Australiaca
: For spaces created in Canadacn
: For spaces created in China
Full example for a space created in the US:
{
accessToken: "<your-access-token>",
apiOptions: {
region: "us"
}
}
Note For spaces created in the United States or China, the
region
parameter must be specified.
Getting started
1. Fetching Content
Use the getStoryblokApi
()` to get your stories from the Storyblok CDN API:
<script>
import { onMount } from "svelte";
import { getStoryblokApi } from "@storyblok/svelte";
onMount(async () => {
const storyblokApi = getStoryblokApi();
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/home", {
version: "draft",
});
});
</script>
Note You can skip using
storyblokApi
if you prefer your own method or function to fetch your data.
2. Listen to Storyblok Visual Editor events
Use useStoryBridge
to get the updated story every time a change event is triggered from the Visual Editor. You need to pass the story id as the first param, and a callback function as the second param to update the new story:
<script>
import { onMount } from "svelte";
import { getStoryblokApi, useStoryblokBridge } from "@storyblok/svelte";
let story = null;
onMount(async () => {
const storyblokApi = getStoryblokApi();
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/home", {
version: "draft",
});
story = data.story;
useStoryblokBridge(story.id, (newStory) => (story = newStory));
});
</script>
You can pass Bridge options as a third parameter as well:
useStoryblokBridge(story.id, (newStory) => (story = newStory), {
resolveRelations: ["Article.author"],
resolveLinks: "url",
});
3. Link your components to Storyblok Visual Editor
To link the Storyblok components, you have to
Load them in components when calling
storyblokInit
Use the
storyblokEditable
action on the root element of each component
<div use:storyblokEditable={blok} / >
- Use the
StoryblokComponent
to load them by passing theblok
property
<StoryblokComponent {blok} />
The
blok
is the actual blok data coming from Storyblok's Content Delivery API.
Features and API
You can choose the features to use when you initialize the plugin. In that way, you can improve web performance by optimizing your page load and saving some bytes.
Storyblok API
You can use an apiOptions
object. This is passed down to the storyblok-js-client config object:
storyblokInit({
accessToken: "<your-token>",
apiOptions: {
//storyblok-js-client config object
cache: { type: "memory" },
},
use: [apiPlugin],
});
If you prefer to use your own fetch method, just remove the apiPlugin
and storyblok-js-client
won't be added to your application. You can find out more about our Content Delivery API in the documentation.
Storyblok Bridge
You can conditionally load it by using the bridge
option. Very useful if you want to disable it in production:
storyblokInit({
bridge: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
});
Keep in mind you have still access to the raw window.StoryblokBridge
:
const sbBridge = new window.StoryblokBridge(options);
sbBridge.on(["input", "published", "change"], (event) => {
// ...
});
For background information on the Storyblok JS Bridge, please check out the documentation.
Rendering Rich Text
You can easily render rich text by using the renderRichText
function that comes with @storyblok/svelte
and Svelte {@html htmlstring}
directive.
<script>
import { renderRichText } from "@storyblok/svelte";
export let blok;
$: articleHTML = renderRichText(blok.article);
</script>
<div class="prose">{@html articleHTML}</div>
If you are allowing the content editors to add Blok (components like teaser, hero etc) into the rich text editor, you can also implement a specific logic for rendering correctly the components added to the rich text editor. To achieve this, you have to obtain the schema definition from the RichTextSchema via cloning object. For cloning schema you can use the clone-deep library for example:
npm i clone-deep
You can set a custom Schema and component resolver globally at init time by using the richText
init option:
import { RichTextSchema, storyblokInit } from "@storyblok/svelte";
import cloneDeep from "clone-deep";
const mySchema = cloneDeep(RichTextSchema); // you can make a copy of the default RichTextSchema
// ... and edit the nodes and marks, or add your own.
// Check the base RichTextSchema source here https://github.com/storyblok/storyblok-js-client/blob/master/source/schema.js
storyblokInit({
accessToken: "<your-token>",
richText: {
schema: mySchema,
resolver: (component, blok) => {
switch (component) {
case "my-custom-component":
return `<div class="my-component-class">${blok.text}</div>`;
default:
return "Resolver not defined";
}
},
},
});
You can also set a custom Schema and component resolver only once by passing the options as the second parameter to renderRichText
function:
<script>
import {
RichTextSchema,
storyblokEditable,
StoryblokComponent,
renderRichText,
} from "@storyblok/svelte";
import cloneDeep from "clone-deep";
const mySchema = cloneDeep(RichTextSchema);
export let blok;
$: resolvedRichText = renderRichText(blok.richText, {
schema: mySchema,
resolver: (component, blok) => {
switch (component) {
case "teaser":
console.log(blok); // for learning purpose
return `<div class="my-component-class">${blok.headline}</div>`;
break;
default:
return `Component ${component} not found`;
}
},
});
</script>
Enabling SSL
For security reasons the Storyblok UI loads and embeds the frontend project that you are building with Svelte, via HTTPS protocol into Storyblok Visual Editor.
To enable the HTTPS protocol when you run npm run dev
, you can install the basicSsl
Vite plugin.
npm i @vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl
and, in the vite.config.js
file be sure to load correctly the plugin, importing the plugin:
import basicSsl from '@vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl'
and then, activating the plugin in plugins
configuration array:
plugins: [sveltekit(), basicSsl()],
Compatibility
This plugin is for Svelte. Thus, it supports the same browsers as Svelte 3. In short: all modern browsers and IE10+.
Troubleshooting
Working with a Component Library
When working with a component library, create an alias pointing '@storyblok/svelte' to './node_modules/@storyblok/svelte'. This will ensure the imported module will use the local version of Storyblok SDK. In your vite.config.js
, include:
import { sveltekit } from "@sveltejs/kit/vite";
import basicSsl from "@vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl";
import path from "path";
import { fileURLToPath } from "url";
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);
/** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */
const config = {
plugins: [sveltekit(), basicSsl()],
server: {
https: true,
},
resolve: {
alias: {
"@storyblok/svelte": path.resolve(
__dirname,
"./node_modules/@storyblok/svelte"
),
},
},
};
export default config;
Another option might also be using npm / yarn workspaces.
A note about Fetch API
⚠️ This SDK uses the Fetch API under the hood. If your environment doesn't support it, you need to install a polyfill like isomorphic-fetch. More info on storyblok-js-client docs.
