Installation

npm install @movement-react/prismic prismic-javascript

or

yarn add @movement-react/prismic prismic-javascript

optionally you can install prismic-reactjs to render their CMS components.

Getting Started

Below is a quick start to getting setup with the prismic react library.

Requirements

1. You will need access to https://prismic.io
2. Create a new site see the prismic docs for further details
3. Retrieve your access token from the prismic admin dashboard

Setting Up Your Provider

Within your main component, import and wrap your jsx with the PrismicProvider component.

import { PrismicProvider } from '@movement-react/prismic';

const App = () => {
  const url = `https://${process.env.PRISMIC_DOMAIN}.prismic.io/api/v2`;
  const accessToken = process.env.PRISMIC_ACCESS_TOKEN;
  
  return (
    <PrismicProvider url={url} accessToken={accessToken}>
      <App />
    </PrismicProvider>
  );
}

From here you can use the React Hooks to query your prismic site.

const App = () => {
  const url = `https://${process.env.PRISMIC_DOMAIN}.prismic.io/api/v2`;
  const accessToken = process.env.PRISMIC_ACCESS_TOKEN;
  
  return (
    <PrismicProvider url={url} accessToken={accessToken}>
      <App />
    </PrismicProvider>
  );
}

Hooks

1. usePrismicFetchByID()
2. usePrismicQuery()

  console.log(data) // outputs document with uid 'my-page'
  return (
    <div>{data.id}</div>
  );
}

const App = () => {
  const url = `https://${process.env.PRISMIC_DOMAIN}.prismic.io/api/v2`;
  const accessToken = process.env.PRISMIC_ACCESS_TOKEN;
  
  return (
    <PrismicProvider url={url} accessToken={accessToken}>
      <Component />
    </PrismicProvider>
  );
}

usePrismicQuery

A react hook that fetches documents from the prismic api using predicates.

See the Prismic Predicate API for further details on predicates

usePrismicQuery Props

Name	DataType	Mandatory
predicates	string or string[]	*
options	QueryOptions

import { usePrismicQuery, PrismicProvider } from '@movement-react/prismic';
import Prismic from 'prismic-javascript';

const Component = () => {
  const { data, loading } = usePrismicQuery([
    Prismic.Predicate.at('document.type', 'page')
  ]);
  console.log(data) // outputs an array of documents
  return (
    <div>{
      data.map((result, i) => (
        <div key={i}>{result.id}</di>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

const App = () => {
  const url = `https://${process.env.PRISMIC_DOMAIN}.prismic.io/api/v2`;
  const accessToken = process.env.PRISMIC_ACCESS_TOKEN;
  
  return (
    <PrismicProvider url={url} accessToken={accessToken}>
      <Component />
