Configuration

Initialization

To create a new NextDrupal client, use the following initialization:

import { NextDrupal } from "next-drupal"

const drupal = new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL)

Where NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL is the URL to your Drupal site defined as an environment variable.

NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL=http://example.com

Options

Additional options can be passed during initialization to customize the behaviors of the client.

apiPrefix

• Default value: /jsonapi
• Required: No

The JSON:API prefix to use. If you are using the JSON:API Extras module, you can customize the JSON:API prefix and set the custom value here.

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  apiPrefix: "/api",
})

frontPage

• Default value: /home
• Required: No

Use this to set the path for your front page. This path will resolve to / on your Next.js site.

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  frontPage: "/front",
})

auth

• Default value: null
• Required: No

Override the default auth. You can use this to implement your own custom auth.

You can find more info about using a custom auth here.

deserializer

• Default value: Built-in

Override the default data deserializer. You can use this to add your own JSON:API data deserializer.

import { Deserializer } from "jsonapi-serializer"

const jsonDeserializer = new Deserializer({
  keyForAttribute: "camelCase",
})

const customDeserializer = jsonSerializer.deserialize.bind(jsonSerializer)

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  deserializer: customDeserializer,
})

You can find more info about using a custom deserializer here.

fetcher

• Default value: fetch
• Required: No

Override the default fetcher.

import crossFetch from "cross-fetch"

const customFetcher = (url, options) => {
  const { withAuth, ...opts } = options

  if (withAuth) {
    // Make additional requests to fetch a bearer token
    // Or any other Authorization headers.
  }

  return crossFetch(url, {
    ...opts,
  })
}

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  fetcher: customFetcher,
})

You can find more info about using a custom fetcher here.

cache

• Default value: null
• Required: No

Implement a custom cache for caching data during builds.

import { DataCache } from "next-drupal"
import Redis from "ioredis"

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL)

export const redisCache: DataCache = {
  async set(key, value) {
    return await redis.set(key, value)
  },

  async get(key) {
    return await redis.get(key)
  },
}

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {
  cache: redisCache,
})

logger

• Default value: console
• Required: No

Implement a custom logger. You can use this to send logs to a third-party service.

withAuth

• Default value: false
• Required: No

Set whether the client should use authenticated requests by default. If set to true, all calls to Drupal will use the configured authentication.

headers

• Default value: { "Content-Type": "application/vnd.api+json", Accept: "application/vnd.api+json" }
• Required: No

Set custom headers for the fetcher.

new NextDrupal(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL, {

  },
})

accessToken

• Default value: null
• Required: No

A long-lived access token you can set directly on the client.

useDefaultEndpoint

• Default value: true

By default, the resource endpoint will be based on the resource name. If you turn this off, a JSON:API request will retrieve the resource's endpoint url.
