Concepts

Site handling

The content API will use the current domain / site of the request, so make sure to call the API via the correct domain when in a multi-site installation.

Extensibility via Fusion

The API responses are declared by Fusion prototypes. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and customization.

Simple API

This package does not offer a complex API for querying nodes. It is mainly focused on rendering pages backed by document nodes when using Neos as a headless CMS. It is also perfect to pair with @networkteam/zebra and supports full editing of nodes with visual editing.

A node can be fetched either by path (for public access) or by context path (for access with preview in workspaces).

Features

• Support for multi-site installations
• Supports dimensions (e.g. for multi-language sites)
• Supports Flowpack.Neos.DimensionResolver for flexible dimension routing
• Supports Neos.RedirectHandler (if installed) and checkRedirects is enabled in settings

Configuration

Networkteam:
  Neos:
    ContentApi:
      recursiveReferencePropertyDepth: 1
      documentList:
        ignoredNodeTypes:
          - 'Neos.Neos:Shortcut'
      # Enable to check redirects of RedirectsHandler (if package is available) if a node is not found
      checkRedirects: false

Examples

Adding an API prototype for document node types:

prototype(Neos.Demo:Document.Page.Api) < prototype(Networkteam.Neos.ContentApi:DefaultDocument) {
	content {
		main = Neos.Neos:ContentCollection {
			nodePath = 'main'
		}
		teaser = Neos.Neos:ContentCollection {
			nodePath = 'teaser'
		}
	}
}
prototype(Neos.Demo:Document.LandingPage.Api) < prototype(Neos.Demo:Document.Page.Api)
prototype(Neos.Demo:Document.Homepage.Api) < prototype(Neos.Demo:Document.Page.Api)

The idea here is to have a .Api prototype for the complete document node type hierarchy. Content as well as arbitrary data can be added to the prototype and will be serialized as JSON.

Extending API site properties

contentApi {
	site {
		# Set some additional context variables for default Fusion to work correctly
		@context {
			documentNode = ${site}
			node = ${site}
		}
		navigation = Neos.Fusion:DataStructure {
			mainItems = Neos.Fusion:Map {
				items = ${q(site).children('[instanceof Neos.Neos:Document][_hiddenInIndex=false]')}
				itemName = 'node'
				itemRenderer = Neos.Fusion:DataStructure {
					title = ${q(node).property('title')}
					renderPath = Neos.Neos:NodeUri {
						node = ${node}
						format = 'html'
					}
				}
			}
		}
		content {
			footer = Neos.Neos:ContentCollection {
				nodePath = 'footer'
			}
		}
	}
}

This can be fetched via the /content-api/site endpoint for the current site (depends on domain).

API endpoints

/neos/content-api/documents

Lists available documents with route path / context path and iterating through dimensions.

A different workspace can be selected via workspaceName (needs authentication).

Note: If Flowpack.Neos.DimensionResolver already resolved dimensions e.g. based on the domain, then the dimensions are not iterated.

/neos/content-api/document

Render a document given by path or contextPath.

/neos/content-api/node

Render a single node given by contextPath.

/neos/content-api/site

Render site properties independent of a single node.
