Yet another Astro Decap CMS integration

Astro Decap is an Astro integration to simplify the usage of Deacap CMS in your Astro projects.

Features:

• Automatically mount the Decap CMS admin dashboard on the /admin route
• Define your Decap CMS config with Javascript instead of YAML, for better type safety and code reusability
• Sveltia CMS compatible, by providing your own cms script src

Roadmap:

• Automatic generation of astro content collections schemas
• OAuth endpoints to use Decap CMS without Netlify Identity.

Installation

npx astro add astro-decap

Or manually install.

npm install astro-decap

And add the integration to your astro.config.mjs file.

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import decapCms from "astro-decap";

export default defineConfig({
    ...,
    integrations: [decapCms()],
});

Usage

Define your Decap CMS config (see reference):

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import decapCms from "astro-decap";

export default defineConfig({
    ...,
    integrations: [decapCms({
      cmsConfig: {
        local_backend: import.meta.env.MODE === "development",
        backend: { name: "gitlab", repo: "test/test" },
        media_folder: "public",
        public_folder: "/",

        collections: [
          {
            label: "Blog posts",
            name: "blog",
            folder: "src/content/blog",
            fields: [
              { name: "title", label: "Title", widget: "string" },
              { name: "description", label: "Description", widget: "text" },
              {
                name: "pubDate",
                label: "Publication date",
                widget: "datetime",
              },
              {
                name: "updatedDate",
                label: "Updated date",
                widget: "datetime",
                required: false,
              },
              {
                name: "heroImage",
                label: "Hero image",
                widget: "image",
                required: false,
              },
              { name: "body", widget: "markdown" },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    })],
});

You can provide a custom cmsScriptSrc option, for exemple if you want to use Sveltia CMS instead of Decap CMS:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";
import decapCms from "astro-decap";

export default defineConfig({
    ...,
    integrations: [decapCms({
      cmsConfig: {...},
      cmsScriptSrc: "https://unpkg.com/@sveltia/cms/dist/sveltia-cms.js"
    })],
});
