Sample Rails app to demonstrate the content creation using the Content Management API RubyGem.

Clone the repository and run

bundle install

Run the application with bundle exec rails server and open https://0.0.0.0:3000/ in your browser. The first time you use the application, you will be asked to enter your Contentful ACCESS_TOKEN and ORGANIZATION_ID.

Once you save your credentials the app will create a space called "CMA Rails App Demo" and setup the Post, Category content types

Your credentials will be stored in the settings table in a locale SQLite database.

Initializes objects of Entry type. Classes that operate on Contentful::Management::Entry objects inherit from it.

Example

class Category < Contentful::Entity

  content_type :category_content_type

end

• initialize

Creates localized getters and setters based on the fields of a content type.

Example: two locales with code en-US, "de-DE" and a field with API a name: title.

title_en_us
title_de_de

• content_type

Gets ID of the content type that you referring to. It helps to find a specified content type and is useful for filtering entries.

• locales

Returns the locales that are available for the space.

• has_one

To declare an association to other entries. The model defines the relationship through the name of 'API' field.

For example, if the post content type has a Link field with the api_name category

class Post < Contentful::Entity

  content_type :post_content_type

  has_one :category

end

In the views, you an return the name of a linked Entry like this:

= link_to post.category(@space).name

• all(space)

This method returns all objects for your space. All created objects are cached by the APICache Gem.

• find(space, id)

Returns contentful object. Every object is cached.

• build(ct_object, space)

Initialize an entry object from the API.

This class inherits from Entity and represents the asset content type. Classes that operate on Contentful::Management::Asset objects inherit from it.

class Image < Contentful::Asset

end

Using ActiveModel, we have no possibility to check the type of input data. They are always treated as a String value. We used custom casting type, by checking the type of content type field. Error handling has been added to the basic actions. It checks if the passed parameter has proper type. If not, the user will receive an Error object including error message.

Generates forms to create and edit entries and assets. It generates only fields that are localized.

Checks status of an entry object.

Display the image of a linked asset. You can specify parameters, which will return a resized version the image.
