Laravel-Strapi is a Laravel helper for using the Strapi V4 headless CMS.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kamil-malinski/laravel-strapi

You can publish and run the migrations with:

You can publish the config file with:

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

You need to define your STRAPI_URL (without /api path) and STRAPI_CACHE_TIME in .env:

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

Athorization (optional)

Create a bearer token in your admin panel and add it to your .env:

STRAPI_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

Cache Flushing (optional)

To flush the strapi cache on content update, you need to create a Webhook in the Strapi admin panel. Setup a url and a header with Key "Athorization" and a random string as Value and add them to your .env:

STRAPI_WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:8000/strapi-cache-webhook
STRAPI_WEBHOOK_SIGNATURE=your_random_string

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 KamilMalinski\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
use KamilMalinski\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();
$blogs = $strapi->collection('blogs', $sortKey = 'id', $sortOrder = 'DESC', $limit = 20, $start = 0, $fullUrls = true);

$entry = $strapi->entry('blogs', 1, $fullUrls = true);

You may also access Single Type items as follows:

use KamilMalinski\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 KamilMalinski\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();

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

Populate with deep relations:

use KamilMalinski\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();

// load all relations one Level deep 
$homepageArray = $strapi->populate(['*'])->single('homepage');

// 2 Level or deeper example
$homepageArray = $strapi->populate(['homepage.navbar.links', 'homepage.metadata'])->single('homepage');

Deeply populate a dynamic zone with 2 components, examples from Strapi API Docs:

use KamilMalinski\LaravelStrapi\LaravelStrapi;

$strapi = new LaravelStrapi();

$query = [
    'populate' => [
        'testDZ' => [
            'populate' => '*'
        ],
    ]
];

$homepageArray = $strapi->query($query)->single('articels');

$query = [
    'fields' => ['title', 'slug'],
    'populate' => [
        'headerImage' => [
            'fields' => ['name', 'url']
        ],
    ]
];

$homepageArray = $strapi->query($query)->single('articels');
