nuxpresso-strapi-template working in local development grants full permissions to Public Role to all collections

# Initial Data

When you create Strapi CMS using nuxpresso-strapi-template it will create some initial data that can be useful to start with:

  • a library of blocks (page samples and a default template)
  • a default article as homepage with a default template
  • settings and elements needed to use with MOKAStudio (single collections)

# Custom API models and controllers

Following are the custom models and controllers created by nuxpresso-strapi-template

# API

# Articles Slug

To take advantage of friendly URLs STRAPI whenever an article is create or updated slugify the title to create a valid slug.

The slug will be used by nuxpresso website as pages URL

http://your_website/articles/article_slug

Path - ./api/articles/models/article.js

'use strict';
module.exports = {
    lifecycles : {
        beforeCreate: async ( data ) => {
            data.slug = data.title.toLowerCase()
            .replace(/ /g,'-')
            .replace(/[^\w-]+/g,'') 
        }
    }
};

This create a stripped slug based on the title used by nuxpresso as friendly url when a new article has been added

# Contacts

This is availabled only with a public Strapi CMS

Path - ./api/contacts/controllers/contacts.js

'use strict';

module.exports = {
    async create(ctx){
        let email = {
            to: process.env.SITE_EMAIL,
            from: ctx.request.body.email,
            subject: 'Contact Us',
            text: `
            Name:  ${ctx.request.body.firstname} ${ctx.request.body.lastname} 
            Message: ${ctx.request.body.message}`
        }
        if ( ctx.request.body.subscriber ){
            email = {
                to: process.env.SITE_EMAIL,
                from: ctx.request.body.email,
                subject: 'Subscription',
                text: `Subscription from ${ctx.request.body.email}`
            }
        }
        await strapi.plugins['email'].services.email.send(
            email
        );
        await strapi.services.contacts.create( ctx.request.body )
        return ctx
    }
};

The controller has 2 scopes:

  • register the contact basic information
  • register the contact information with a subscribe flag

It also automatically send email to site email contact about the new contact registration.

You can update this controller as per your need.

# GraphQL

NUXPRESSO take advantages of GraphQL to reduce the fetch overload of using REST API. Thus means that only the required information is sent out from Strapi CMS.
