Middleman Prismic

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-prismic'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install middleman-prismic

Configuration

To configure the extension, add the following configuration block to Middleman's config.rb:

Parameter	i Description
api_url	the single endpoint of your content repository
access_token	Prismic API OAuth2 based access token (optional)
release	The content release (optional, defaults to master)
link_resolver	A link resolver. Expects a proc with one param, which is an object of type Prismic::Fragments::DocumentLink (optional)

For instance:

activate :prismic do |f|
  f.api_url = 'https://testrepositorymiddleman.prismic.io/api'
  f.release = 'master'
  f.link_resolver = ->(link) { binding.pry; "#{link.type.pluralize}/#{link.slug}"}
end

Usage

Run bundle exec middleman prismic in your terminal. This will fetch entries for the configured spaces and content types and put the resulting data in the local data folder as yaml files.

For each document mask you have, you will get a file named prismic_{document-name} under /data. So for instance if you have article and product document masks, you will get 2 files: prismic_articles, prismic_products. Each file will contain all your documents of the specified document mask in an array.

In your templates, you get for free helper methods named after your document mask that return the Prismic equivelant object. For instance for articles, if you run <%= articles %> you get back a Prismic::Document.

If at any time need access to Prismic::Ref you can do it using the reference helper.

Prismic Preview

Prismic supports a preview function by sending a browser to /preview with a token and document_id on the query. This middleware is intended to hook into Middleman to add a /preview endpoint that will fetch the preview content by token (as ref) and display the content in the Middleman server.

In your Middleman app, add the following to config.rb to activate this middleware:

require "middleman-prismic/preview"

use Middleman::Prismic::Preview,
  app_url: 'https://mysite.prismic.io/api',
  link_resolver: link_resolver

Now when running the middleman server, any requests to /preview will be intercepted. The token param will be read and used to execute middleman prismic --ref ${token}. Because Middleman is running as a server, when the content from Prismic is downloaded, it will show the live content when browsing the Middleman site.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
