README

Laravel-Strapi is a Laravel helper for using the Strapi headless CMS.

Note: for Strapi v3 support use version 2.x.x

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require dbfx/laravel-strapi

You can publish and run the migrations with:

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dbfx\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapiServiceProvider" --tag="strapi-config"

You need to define your STRAPI_URL and STRAPI_CACHE_TIME in .env: You can also optionally define a STRAPI_TOKEN to enable authentication. Do not include 'Bearer' only the token itself.

STRAPI_URL=https://strapi.test.com
STRAPI_CACHE_TIME=3600
STRAPI_TOKEN=abcd1234abcd1234

Usage

laravel-strapi provides the collection() and entry() calls to return a full collection, or a specific entry from a collection. In the example below we are querying the strapi collection 'blogs' and then getting the entry with id 1 from that collection.

use Dbfx\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();
$blogs = $strapi->collection('blogs');
$entry = $strapi->entry('blogs', 1);

There are several useful options available as well.

$sortKey and $sortOrder allow you to specify the key to sort on and the direction
$fullUrls will automatically add your STRAPI_URL to the front of any relative URLs (e.g. images, etc).
$limit sets how many items you are requesting
$start is the offset to be used with limit, useful for pagination
$populate is an array containing the fields to populate
$queryData is an array of additional key-value pairs to add to the query string

use Dbfx\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();
$blogs = $strapi->collection('blogs', $sortKey = 'id', $sortOrder = 'DESC', $limit = 20, $start = 0, $fullUrls = true, $populate = ['author', 'images'], $queryData = ['locale' => 'en']);

$entry = $strapi->entry('blogs', 1, $fullUrls = true, $populate = ['author', 'images'], $queryData = ['locale' => 'en']);

You may also access Single Type items as follows:

use Dbfx\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();

// Fetch the full homepage array
$homepageArray = $strapi->single('homepage');

// Return just the ['content'] field from the homepage array
$homepageItem = $strapi->single('homepage', 'content');

And you may select entries by searching for a custom field (e.g. slug):

use Dbfx\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();

$entries = $strapi->entriesByField('blogs', 'slug', 'test-blog-post');
