CloudCannon React Connector


Using a React based SSG? Want to see give your editors a live visual editing experience? Use the React Connector and connect CloudCannon.

Installation

``
npm i @cloudcannon/react-connector
`

Next JS Integration

Update the code in pages/_app.jsx from:

`
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
return
}
`

to:

`
import { CloudCannonConnect } from '@cloudcannon/react-connector'

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
const AppComponent = CloudCannonConnect(Component);
return
}
`

In CloudCannon will now push through new page props from your editors updates.

By default CloudCannon passes through processed markdown as HTML and new files as blobs. Both of these options are configurable
using the valueOptions parameter. If you have a markdown processor built into your component set keepMarkdownAsHTML
to false, this will prevent any double processing conflicts.

`
import { CloudCannonConnect } from '@cloudcannon/react-connector'

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
const AppComponent = CloudCannonConnect(Component, {
valueOptions: {
keepMarkdownAsHTML: false,
preferBlobs: true
}
});
return
}
`

If your props are modified in the getStaticProps function you can mirror those same operations. Below is an example of
the processProps function which is passed the props before it is injected into the new props. This defaults to an identity
function which passes the props directly through.

`
import { CloudCannonConnect } from '@cloudcannon/react-connector'

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
const AppComponent = CloudCannonConnect(Component, {
processProps: (props) => {
return props;
}
});
return
}
