2 Add prismic-receiver in your routers.js

const prismicReceiver = require('prismic-receiver');

3 How to use it?

In your routers.js:

// get all articles
router.all('/', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Index', await prismicReceiver.getAllArticle([API ID], [language], [pageSize], req) ); 
});

// get a specific article
router.all('/blog/:recordUid', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Article', await prismicReceiver.getArticle([API ID], req) ); 
});

// get specific page, next or prev page for articles (pagination for articles)
router.all('/page/:pageNumber', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Index', await prismicReceiver.getAllArticle([API ID], [language], [pageSize], req) ); 
});

// get all articles for a specific category
router.all('/category/:categoryName', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Category', await prismicReceiver.getByArticleCategory([API ID], [language], [pageSize], [API ID for category], [API ID Key Text field for category], req) ); 
});

// get all articles for a specific category using pagination to display specific page, next or prev page (pagination for category)
router.all('/category/:categoryName/page/:pageNumber', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Category', await prismicReceiver.getByArticleCategory([API ID], [language], [pageSize], [API ID for category], [API ID Key Text field for category], req) ); 
});

• Routes Variable
  • pageNumber - variable specifying the number of displayed articles on the page
  • categoryName - variable specifying the name of the category
  • recordUid - variable specifying the unique ID name for the article (you definitely need to use UID in your articles in prismic)
• Methods:
  • getAllArticle - access to all your articles from the given API ID
  • getArticle - selected specific article based on UID
  • getByArticleCategory - articles from the given API ID for specific category
• Arguments:
  • API ID - your custom types name for API ID
  • language - the language you want to get data from
  • pageSize - how many artice you prefer for page
  • API ID for category - if you want to display categories, you must enter the custom types name for the category
  • API ID Key Text field for category - it's a filed name for Key Text of your category

Example:

// get all articles
router.all('/', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Index', await prismicReceiver.getAllArticle('article', 'en', 10, req) ); 
});

// get a specific article
router.all('/blog/:recordUid', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Article', await prismicReceiver.getArticle('article', req) ); 
});

// get specific page, next or prev page for articles (pagination for articles)
router.all('/page/:pageNumber', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Index', await prismicReceiver.getAllArticle('article', 'en', 10, req) ); 
});

// get all articles for a specific category
router.all('/category/:categoryName', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Category', await prismicReceiver.getByArticleCategory('article', 'en', 10, "article_category", "name", req) ); 
});

// get all articles for a specific category using pagination to display specific page, next or prev page (pagination for category)
router.all('/category/:categoryName/page/:pageNumber', async (req, res) => { 
  res.render('Category', await prismicReceiver.getByArticleCategory('article', 'en', 10, "article_category", "name", req) ); 
});

4 Now in your views you have access to data from prismic:

for example in ReactJS:

console.log(props.data);

5 Additional information: ❕

1. axios and dotenv are demanding dependencies for the package to work properly,
2. The articles are served according to the time of creation - DESC
