Contenta is a content API and CMS based on Drupal 8. It provides a standard, jsonapi-based platform for building decoupled applications and websites.
Follow the documentation instructions to install Contenta CMS.
Once your site is running locally, you might want to use Curl to examine the pre-installed content:
curl --header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/recipesThe result will be a list of recipes. Note that:
- The Drupal implementation of the jsonapi uses entity uuids to identify individual content resources. Append a
/{{uuid}}to the URL above to fetch a single recipe. - Contenta uses the JSON API Extras module to customize the URL to resources:
/api/recipesinstead of/jsonapi/node/recipes, for example. Contenta also configures JSON API Extras to customize the output of the request to eliminate unnecessary fields.
When you actually build a front-end you will likely have CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues.
In order to allow browsers to request the contenta back-end you need to:
- Copy sites/default/default.services.yml to sites/default/services.yml
- Allow your app to access it, by replacing the end of this configuration file.
cors.config:
enabled: true
allowedHeaders:
- '*'
allowedMethods:
- '*'
allowedOrigins:
# Note: you need to specify the host + port where your app will run.
- localhost:8000
exposedHeaders: false
maxAge: false
supportsCredentials: false
- Run drush:
cd <DESTINATION>/web && ../vendor/bin/drush cr

There are a bunch of example consumers, see http://www.contentacms.org/#example-consumers for a list of them.
Contenta CMS is a Fork & Go solution. There is no supported upgrade path. You may update your Drupal like you usually do.
Please see documented issues :
This work is based upon a couple of contrib modules.
On top of that the thunder distrbution was used as sort of a base for this installation profile.
Contenta CMS is built by humans.
