README

This package provides an implementation to consume the Strapi REST API.

The current implementation only supports fetching data from Strapi since I personally didn't have a use case to write data to it via API yet.

Currently supports Strapi v4 which is a bit different from the preceding v3 REST API.

Installation

1. Installation via Composer

composer require svnwa/laravel-strapi

2. Publishing the the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="svnwa\laravel-strapi\LaravelStrapiServiceProvider" --tag="laravel-strapi"

3. Editing the the .env file:

The STRAPI_CACHE_STORAGE_TIME is optional.¹

The default value is defined in the config file at 3600 seconds (1 hour).

STRAPI_API_TOKEN=some_strapi_api_token
STRAPI_BASE_URL="https://somestrapiurl.com"
STRAPI_CACHE_STORAGE_TIME=3600

4. Optional "cache reset" route

This package also provides an optional route to automatically reset the cache with a Webhook from within Strapi e.g. after update or creation of a resource. The route can be activated in the config file. Just set the value to true:

'cacheResetRoute' => true

Usage

This package attemps to make use of a fluent api similar to Laravels Eloquent:

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->paginate(0,20,true)
    ->fields(['name','adress','tel'])
    ->sortBy([
            ['name','asc'],
        ]
    ->filterBy([
            ['[name][$contains]','pizza'],
        ])
    ->populate()
    ->locale('de')
    ->withFullUrls()
    ->publicationState('preview')
    ->get();

Examples

1. Get a list of entries

2. Get an entry

3. Parameters

   • sort
   • pagination
   • filters
   • fields
   • populate
   • publicationState
   • locale

• Get a list of entries

GET api/restaurants

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')->get();

• Get an entry

GET api/restaurants/999

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::entry('restaurants',999)->get();

Using Strapis basic API Parameters:

• sort Sorting the response

Supports Strapis sorting on one or multiple fields and/or their direction

GET api/restaurants?sort[0]=id:asc&sort[1]=name:desc

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->sortBy([
        ['id','asc'],
        ['name','desc'],
    ]);

• pagination Page through entries

Supports Strapis pagination on results by offset

GET api/restaurants?pagination[start]=0&pagination[limit]=20&pagination[withCount]=true

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->paginate(0,20,true);

• filters

Supports Strapis filter results found with its "Get entries" method

GET api/restaurants?filters[name][$contains]=pizza

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->filterBy([
        ['[name][$contains]','pizza'],
    ]);

• fields

Queries can accept a fields parameter to select only some fields.

GET api/restaurants?fields[0]=name&fields[1]=adress&fields[2]=tel

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->fields(['name','adress','tel']);

• populate

Queries can accept a populate parameter to populate various field types

Populate with wildcard. If no parameter is given to the populate() method it defauls to using the wildcard operator: GET api/restaurants?populate=*

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->populate();

or:

GET api/restaurants?populate[0]=menu&populate[1]=customers

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->populate(['menu','customers']);

Tip: Strapi offers deep population for e.g. nested components and does not populate them by default. Even not with the wildcard * GET api/restaurants?populate[0]=menu.images

• publicationState

GET api/restaurants?publicationState=preview Queries can accept a publicationState parameter to fetch entries based on their publication state:

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->publicationState('preview');

• locale

The locale API parameter can be used to get entries from a specific locale

GET api/restaurants?locale=de

use Svnwa\LaravelStrapi\Facades\Strapi;

$listOfRestaurants = Strapi::collection('restaurants')
    ->locale('de');
