@storyblok/vue

The Vue SDK you need to interact with Storyblok API and enable the Real-time Visual Editing Experience.


Storyblok Vue npm

Follow @Storyblok Follow @Storyblok

Note: This plugin is for Vue 3. Check out the docs for Vue 2 version.

🚀 Usage

Check out the Live Demo on Stackblitz!

If you are first-time user of the Storyblok, read the Getting Started guide to get a project ready in less than 5 minutes.

Installation

Install @storyblok/vue

npm install @storyblok/vue
# yarn add @storyblok/vue

⚠️ This SDK uses the Fetch API under the hood. If your environment doesn't support it, you need to install a polyfill like isomorphic-fetch. More info on storyblok-js-client docs.

Register the plugin on your application (usually in main.js), add the apiPlugin and add the access token of your Storyblok space:

import { createApp } from "vue";
import { StoryblokVue, apiPlugin } from "@storyblok/vue";
import App from "./App.vue";

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  accessToken: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  use: [apiPlugin],
});

That's it! All the features are enabled for you: the Api Client for interacting with Storyblok CDN API, and Storyblok Bridge for real-time visual editing experience.

You can enable/disable some of these features if you don't need them, so you save some KB. Please read the "Features and API" section.

From a CDN

Install the file from the CDN and access the methods via window.storyblokVue:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@storyblok/vue"></script>

Getting started

@storyblok/vue does three actions when you initialize it:

  • Provides a storyblokApi object in your app, which is an instance of storyblok-js-client
  • Loads Storyblok Bridge for real-time visual updates
  • Provides a v-editable directive to link editable components to the Storyblok Visual Editor

Short Form

Load globally the Vue components you want to link to Storyblok in your main.js file:

import Page from "./components/Page.vue";
import Teaser from "./components/Teaser.vue";

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  accessToken: "<your-token>",
  use: [apiPlugin],
});

app.component("Page", Page);
app.component("Teaser", Teaser);

Use useStoryblok in your pages to fetch Storyblok stories and listen to real-time updates, as well as StoryblokComponent to render any component you've loaded before, like in this example:

<script setup>
  import { useStoryblok } from "@storyblok/vue";
  const story = await useStoryblok("path-to-story", { version: "draft" });
</script>

<template>
  <StoryblokComponent v-if="story" :blok="story.content" />
</template>

Using slots

You can use slots to insert slot content into the dynamic component:

<script setup>
  import { useStoryblok } from "@storyblok/vue";
  const story = await useStoryblok("path-to-story", { version: "draft" });
</script>

<template>
  <StoryblokComponent v-if="story" :blok="story.content">
    <MyCustomComponent />
  </StoryblokComponent>
</template>

And then in the dynamic component that StoryblokComponent uses, you can render the slot content as you would with regular Vue slots:

<template>
  <div>
    <!-- Some content -->

    <!-- The slot content MyCustomComponent will be rendered here -->
    <slot></slot>
    
    <!-- Some more content -->
  </div>
</template>

Rendering Rich Text

You can easily render rich text by using the renderRichText function that comes with @storyblok/vue and a Vue computed property:

<template>
  <div v-html="articleContent"></div>
</template>

<script setup>
  import { computed } from "vue";
  import { renderRichText } from "@storyblok/vue";

  const articleContent = computed(() => renderRichText(blok.articleContent));
</script>

You can set a custom Schema and component resolver globally at init time by using the richText init option:

import { RichTextSchema, StoryblokVue } from "@storyblok/vue";
import cloneDeep from "clone-deep";

const mySchema = cloneDeep(RichTextSchema); // you can make a copy of the default RichTextSchema
// ... and edit the nodes and marks, or add your own.
// Check the base RichTextSchema source here https://github.com/storyblok/storyblok-js-client/blob/master/source/schema.js

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  accessToken: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  use: [apiPlugin],
  richText: {
    schema: mySchema,
    resolver: (component, blok) => {
      switch (component) {
        case "my-custom-component":
          return `<div class="my-component-class">${blok.text}</div>`;
        default:
          return "Resolver not defined";
      }
    },
  },
});

You can also set a custom Schema and component resolver only once by passing the options as the second parameter to renderRichText function:

import { renderRichText } from "@storyblok/vue";

renderRichText(blok.richTextField, {
  schema: mySchema,
  resolver: (component, blok) => {
    switch (component) {
      case "my-custom-component":
        return `<div class="my-component-class">${blok.text}</div>`;
        break;
      default:
        return `Component ${component} not found`;
    }
  },
});

Long Form

1. Fetching Content

Inject storyblokApi when using Composition API:

<template>
  <div>
    <p v-for="story in stories" :key="story.id">{{ story.name }}</p>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
  import { useStoryblokApi } from "@storyblok/vue";

  const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi();
  const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/home", { version: "draft" });
</script>

Note: you can skip using apiPlugin if you prefer your own method or function to fetch your data.

2. Listen to Storyblok Visual Editor events

Use useStoryBridge to get the new story every time is triggered a change event from the Visual Editor. You need to pass the story id as first param, and a callback function as second param to update the new story:

<script setup>
  import { onMounted } from "vue";
  import { useStoryblokBridge, useStoryblokApi } from "@storyblok/vue";

  const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi();
  const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/home", { version: "draft" });
  const state = reactive({ story: data.story });

  onMounted(() => {
    useStoryblokBridge(state.story.id, story => (state.story = story));
  });
</script>

You can pass Bridge options as a third parameter as well:

useStoryblokBridge(state.story.id, (story) => (state.story = story), {
  resolveRelations: ["Article.author"],
});
3. Link your components to Storyblok Visual Editor

For every component you've defined in your Storyblok space, add the v-editable directive with the blok content:

<template>
  <div v-editable="blok"><!-- ... --></div>
</template>

Where blok is the actual blok data coming from Storblok's Content Delivery API.

Check out the playground for a full example.

Features and API

You can choose the features to use when you initialize the plugin. In that way, you can improve Web Performance by optimizing your page load and save some bytes.

useStoryblok(pathToStory, apiOptions = {}, bridgeOptions = {})

This example of useStoryblok:

<script setup>
  import { useStoryblok } from "@storyblok/vue";
  const story = await useStoryblok("home", { version: "draft" });
</script>

Is equivalent to the following, using useStoryblokBridge and useStoryblokApi:

<script setup>
  import { onMounted } from "vue";
  import { useStoryblokBridge, useStoryblokApi } from "@storyblok/vue";

  const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi();
  const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/home", { version: "draft" });
  const state = reactive({ story: data.story });

  onMounted(() => {
    useStoryblokBridge(state.story.id, story => (state.story = story));
  });
</script>

Storyblok API

You can use an apiOptions object. This is passed down to the (storyblok-js-client config object](https://github.com/storyblok/storyblok-js-client#class-storyblok).

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  accessToken: "<your-token>",
  apiOptions: {
    // storyblok-js-client config object
    cache: { type: "memory" },
  },
  use: [apiPlugin],
});

If you prefer to use your own fetch method, just remove the apiPlugin and storyblok-js-client won't be added to your application.

app.use(StoryblokVue);

Region parameter

Possible values:

  • eu (default): For spaces created in the EU
  • us: For spaces created in the US
  • cn: For spaces created in China

Full example for a space created in the US:

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  accessToken: "<your-token>",
  use: [apiPlugin],
  apiOptions: {
    region: "us",
  },
});

Note: For spaces created in the United States or China, the region parameter must be specified.

Storyblok Bridge

You can conditionally load it by using the bridge option. Very useful if you want to disable it in production:

app.use(StoryblokVue, {
  bridge: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
});

In case you need it, you have still access to the raw window.StoryblokBridge:

const sbBridge = new window.StoryblokBridge(options);

sbBridge.on(["input", "published", "change"], (event) => {
  // ...
});

Compatibility

This plugin is for Vue 3. Thus, it supports the same browsers as Vue 3. In short: all modern browsers, dropping IE support.
