Contentful::Management

Gem Version Build Status

Ruby client for the Contentful Content Management API.

Contentful is a content management platform for web applications, mobile apps and connected devices. It allows you to create, edit & manage content in the cloud and publish it anywhere via powerful API. Contentful offers tools for managing editorial teams and enabling cooperation between organizations.

Setup

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'contentful-management'

Usage

Examples

Some examples can be found in the examples/ directory or you take a look at this extended example script.

Client

At the beginning the API client instance should be created for each thread that is going to be used in your application:

client = Contentful::Management::Client.new('access_token')

The access token can easily be created through the management api documentation.

Spaces

Retrieving all spaces:

spaces = Contentful::Management::Space.all

Retrieving one space by id:

blog_space = Contentful::Management::Space.find('blog_space_id')

Destroying a space:

blog_space.destroy

Creating a space:

blog_space = Contentful::Management::Space.new
blog_space.name = 'Blog Space'
blog_space.save

or

blog_space = Contentful::Management::Space.create(name: 'Blog Space')

or in the context of the organization (if you have multiple organizations within your account):

blog_space = Contentful::Management::Space.create(name: 'Blog Space', organization_id: 'organization_id')

If you want to create a default locale different from en-US:

blog_space = Contentful::Management::Space.create(name: 'Blog Space', default_locale: 'de-DE')

Updating a space:

blog_space.update(name: 'New Blog Space')

or

blog_space.name = 'New Blog Space'
blog_space.save

Content Types

Retrieving all content types from a space:

blog_post_content_types = blog_space.content_types.all

Retrieving all published content types from a space:

blog_post_content_types = blog_space.content_types.all_published

Retrieving one content type by id from a space:

blog_post_content_type = blog_space.content_types.find(id)

Creating a field for a content type:

title_field = Contentful::Management::Field.new
title_field.id = 'blog_post_title'
title_field.name = 'Post Title'
title_field.type = 'Text'
blog_post_content_type.fields.add(field)

or

blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'title_field_id', name: 'Post Title', type: 'Text')
  • if the field_id exists, the related field will be updated.

or the field of link type:

blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'my_entry_link_field', name: 'My Entry Link Field', type: 'Link', link_type: 'Entry')

or the field of an array type:

items = Contentful::Management::Field.new
items.type = 'Link'
items.link_type = 'Entry'
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'my_array_field', name: 'My Array Field', type: 'Array', items: items)

Deleting a field from the content type:

blog_post_content_type.fields.destroy(title_field_id)

Creating a content type:

blog_space.content_types.create(name: 'Post', fields: [title_field, body_field])

or

blog_post_content_type = blog_space.content_types.new
blog_post_content_type.name = 'Post'
blog_post_content_type.fields = [title_field, body_field]
blog_post_content_type.save

Destroying a content type:

blog_post_content_type.destroy

Process an Asset file after create:

asset.process_file

Updating an asset:

  • default locale
my_image_asset.update(title: 'My Image', description: 'My Image Description', file: image_file)
  • another locale (we can switch locales for the object, so then all fields are in context of selected locale)
my_image_asset.locale = 'nl'
my_image_asset.update(title: 'NL Title', description: 'NL Description', file: nl_image)
  • field with multiple locales
my_image_asset.title_with_locales = {'en-US' => 'US Title', 'nl' => 'NL Title'}

my_entry.archived?

Publishing or unpublishing the entry:

my_entry.publish
my_entry.unpublish

Checking if the entry is published:

my_entry.published?

Entries created with empty fields, will not return those fields in the response. Therefore, Entries that don't have Cache enabled, will need to make an extra request to fetch the Content Type and fill the missing fields. To allow for Content Type Caching:

  • Enable Content Type Cache at Client Instantiation time
  • Query Entries through space.entries.find instead of Entry.find(space_id, entry_id)

Webhooks

webhooks = blog_space.webhooks.all

blog_post_webhook.update(url: 'https://www.newlink.com')

Destroying webhook:

blog_post_webhook.destroy

Api Keys

Retrieving all api keys from the space:

blog_post_api_keys = blog_space.api_keys.all

Retrieving one api key by the api-key-id from the space:

blog_post_api_key = blog_space.api_keys.find(api_key_id)

Creating an api key

blog_space.api_keys.create(name: 'foobar key', description: 'key for foobar mobile app')

Validations

in

Takes an array of values and validates that the field value is in this array.

validation_in = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_in.in = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'valid', name: 'Testing IN', type: 'Text', validations: [validation_in])

size

Takes optional min and max parameters and validates the size of the array (number of objects in it).

validation_size = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_size.size = { min: 10, max: 15 }
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'valid', name: 'Test SIZE', type: 'Text', validations: [validation_size])

range

Takes optional min and max parameters and validates the range of a value.

validation_range = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_range.range = { min: 100, max: 150 }
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'valid', name: 'Range', type: 'Text', validations: [validation_range])

regex

Takes a string that reflects a JS regex and flags, validates against a string. See JS Reference for the parameters.

validation_regexp = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_regexp.regexp = {pattern: '^such', flags: 'im'}
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'valid', name: 'Regex', type: 'Text', validations: [validation_regexp])

linkContentType

Takes an array of content type ids and validates that the link points to an entry of that content type.

validation_link_content_type = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_link_content_type.link_content_type =  ['post_content_type_id']
blog_post_content_type.fields.create(id: 'entry', name: 'Test linkContentType', type: 'Entry', validations: [validation_link_content_type])

linkMimetypeGroup

Takes a MimeType group name and validates that the link points to an asset of this group.

validation_link_mimetype_group = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_link_mimetype_group.link_mimetype_group = 'image'
content_type.fields.create(id: 'asset', validations: [validation_link_mimetype_group])

present

Validates that a value is present.

validation_present = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_present.present = true
content_type.fields.create(id: 'number', validations: [validation_present])

linkField

Validates that the property is a link (must not be a valid link, just that it looks like one).

validation_link_field = Contentful::Management::Validation.new
validation_link_field.link_field  = true
content_type.fields.create(id: 'entry', validations: [validation_link_field])

Pagination

blog_space.entries.all(limit: 5).next_page
blog_space.assets.all(limit: 5).next_page
blog_space.entries.all(limit: 5).next_page

Logging

Logging is disabled by default, it can be enabled by setting a logger instance and a logging severity.

client = Contentful::Management::Client.new('access_token', logger: logger_instance, log_level: Logger::DEBUG)

Example loggers:

Rails.logger
Logger.new('logfile.log')

The default severity is set to INFO and logs only the request attributes (headers, parameters and url). Setting it to DEBUG will also log the raw JSON response.

Raise Errors

If :raise_errors is set to true, an Exception will be raised in case of an error. The default is false, in this case a Contentful::Management::Error object will be returned.

client = Contentful::Management::Client.new('access_token', raise_errors: true)

Content Type Cache

This allows for fetching Content Types for your Space at Client instantiation time, which prevents extra requests per Entry. To enable this, in your Client instantiation do:

Contentful::Management::Client.new(token, dynamic_entries: ['my_space_id'])

You can enable the Cache for as many Spaces as you want.
