Resolve relations in nested GraphQL query
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
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', () => {})
Examples:
Client side rendered pages:
const storyblokInstance = new StoryblokBridge() storyblokInstance.on('input', (payload) => { const changedContent = storyblokInstance.addComments(payload.story.content, payload.story.id) console.log('Content changed', changedContent) // 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() })

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 || {}) }) )
