  • Resolve relations in nested GraphQL query

    Changes in: gapi Permalink

    It’s now possible to resolve one more level of relations with Storyblok’s GraphQL API. This lets you receive your data with less requests.

    The example below shows a query where you have an author single option field inside the page item. The author content type has also a single option field called “group” which can be resolved with the resolve_relations parameter.

    {
  PageItem(id: "test") {
    id
    content {
      author(resolve_relations: "author.group") {
        content
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

  • Storyblok Bridge V2 Beta

    Changes in: app Permalink

    We are proud to announce that the Storyblok Javascript Bridge Version 2 has been released as beta version.

    You can use it by using the new path app.storyblok.com/f/storyblok-v2-latest.js and by changing the init function to a class instantiation.

    The new bridge has a lot of new features and works best with Javascript frameworks like Nuxt, Gatsby, Gridsome, Next, Vuejs, React and much more.

    Features

    • Breadcrumbs navigation

    • Add block before/after (only if registering input event)

    • Move block (only if registering input event)

    • Duplicate block (only if registering input event)

    • Delete block (only if registering input event)

    How to upgrade?

    If you want to upgrade from the Bridge Version 1 to the Version 2 you need to adapt following parts of your application:

    1. New path to the Javascript Bridge

    Instead of

    <script src="https://app.storyblok.com/f/storyblok-latest.js?t=123" />

    use

    <script src="https://app.storyblok.com/f/storyblok-v2-latest.js" />

    2. Class instantiation instead of init call

    Instead of

    storyblok.init()

storyblok.on('change', () => {})

    use

    const storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge()

storyblokInstance.on('change', () => {})

    3. Resolve relationships and add comments

    Instead of

    storyblok.on('input', (payload) => {
  storyblok.addComments(payload.story)
  storyblok.resolveRelations(['blog-post.author'])
})

    use

    const storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge({
  resolveRelations: ['blog-post.author']
})

storyblokInstance.on('input', (payload) => {
  // addComments is not required anymore
})

    Examples:

    Client side rendered pages:

    const storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge()

storyblokInstance.on('input', (payload) => {
  console.log('Content changed', payload.story.content)
  // Handle re-rendering
})

storyblokInstance.on('change', (payload) => {
  // Load draft version of story
})

// Call ping editor to see if in editor
storyblokInstance.pingEditor(() => {
  if (storyblokInstance.isInEditor()) {
    // Load draft version of story
  } else {
    // Load published version of story
  }
})

    Server rendered pages:

    storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge()
storyblokInstance.on(['change', 'published'], function() {
  window.location.reload()
})

  • GraphQL speed improvements

    Changes in: gapi Permalink

    Storyblok's GraphQL api just got huge performance improvements and the possibility to use automatic persisted queries which will save you a lot of traffic.

    Improvements:

    Usage example in Next.js of persisted queries:

    To use automatic persisted queries you need to add the library apollo-link-persited-queries like done in the Next.js example https://github.com/storyblok/nextjs-persisted-query-graphql-example.

    import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client'
import { InMemoryCache } from 'apollo-cache-inmemory'
import withApollo from 'next-with-apollo'
import { createHttpLink } from 'apollo-link-http'
import { createPersistedQueryLink } from 'apollo-link-persisted-queries'
import fetch from 'isomorphic-unfetch'

const GRAPHQL_URL = 'https://gapi.storyblok.com/v1/api'

const link = createPersistedQueryLink({useGETForHashedQueries: true}).concat(createHttpLink({
  fetch, // Switches between unfetch & node-fetch for client & server.
  uri: GRAPHQL_URL,
  headers: {
    'Token': 'YOUR_TOKEN',
    'Version': 'published',
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }
}))

export default withApollo(
  ({ initialState }) =>
    new ApolloClient({
      link: link,
      cache: new InMemoryCache()
        //  rehydrate the cache using the initial data passed from the server:
        .restore(initialState || {})
    })
)

  • Rollback migration

    Changes in: app mapi Permalink

    It's now possible to show a log of your webhook executions and retry the call if it failed. Check it out by going to the webhooks section on the space settings page and clicking the link "View logs".

  • Resolve relations with Storyblok Bridge

    Changes in: app Permalink

    It’s now possible to resolve relations with the live updates from the input event of the Storyblok Javascript bridge.

    If you call the function resolveRelations the relations provided as second argument will be solved.

    How to use?

    You can use the storyblok bridge function .resolveRelations.

    window.storyblok.resolveRelations(storyObject, relationsToResolve, callbackWhenResolved) 

    in callback of the input event after the addComments function.

    Example

    window.storyblok.on('input', (event) => {
  window.storyblok.addComments(event.story.content, event.story.id)
  window.storyblok.resolveRelations(event.story, ['blog.author', 'blog.categories'], () => {
    // event.story.content has now the resolved relations
    // this.content = event.story.content
  })
})

    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    {%- for tr in blok.table.tbody -%}
      <tr>
        {%- for td in tr.body -%}
