Documentation

===================================================

Installation

Prismic API Settings

Your endpoint must contains "v2" at the end, otherwise it means that you're working on the API V1 so this library won't work for you.

apiEndpoint: your-repo-name.prismic.io/api/v2

NPM

npm install prismic-javascript --save

CDN

https://unpkg.com/prismic-javascript

(You may need to adapt the version number)

Downloadable version

On our release page: https://github.com/prismicio/prismic-javascript/releases.

The kit is universal, it can be used:

  • Server-side with NodeJS
  • Client-side as part of your build with Browserify, Webpack
  • Client-side with a simple script tag

Starter kits

For new project, you can start from a sample project:

Demo project

You can find an integration of prismic content with the new API V2 in the following project:

Query the content

To fetch documents from your repository, you need to fetch the Api data first.

var Prismic = require('prismic-javascript');

Prismic.api("http://your_repository_name.prismic.io/api", function(error, api) {
  var options = {}; // In Node.js, pass the request as 'req' to read the reference from the cookies
  api.query("", options, function(err, response) { // An empty query will return all the documents
    if (err) {
      console.log("Something went wrong: ", err);
    }
    console.log("Documents: ", response.documents);
  });
});

All asynchronous calls return ES2015 promises, so alternatively you can use them instead of callbacks.

var Prismic = require('prismic-javascript');

Prismic.api("https://your-repository-name.prismic.io/api").then(function(api) {
  return api.query(""); // An empty query will return all the documents
}).then(function(response) {
  console.log("Documents: ", response.results);
}, function(err) {
  console.log("Something went wrong: ", err);
});

See the developer documentation or the API documentation for more details on how to use it.

Integrate the content

In each case documented below, you will have a snippet of the custom type and another for the code needed to fill the content field into your JS Template. In these examples we have a doc parameter corresponding to the fetched prismic document.

new Slice the new Slice type allow you to create a repeatable area and a non repeatable one.

          slice.value.primary.title

          //repeatable part
          slice.value.items.forEach(item => {
            RichText.asHtml(item.description, linkResolver)

Source files are in the src/ directory. You only need Node.js and npm to work on the codebase.

npm install
npm run dev

Documentation

Please document any new feature or bugfix using the JSDoc syntax. You don't need to generate the documentation, we'll do that.

If you feel an existing area of code is lacking documentation, feel free to write it; but please do so on its own branch and pull-request.

If you find existing code that is not optimally documented and wish to make it better, we really appreciate it; but you should document it on its own branch and its own pull request.
