Nuxt.js module

Drupal JSON:API Entities provides a Nuxt.js module for easily caching the schema(s).

Getting started with Nuxt.js

Add drupal_jsonapi_entities/nuxt to the modules section of your nuxt.config.js file.

module.exports = {
  modules: [
    // Drupal JSON:API entities.
    [
      'drupal_jsonapi_entities/nuxt',
      {
        baseUrl: process.env.API_URL,
        auth: {
          clientId: process.env.API_CONSUMER_CLIENT_ID,
          clientSecret: process.env.API_CONSUMER_CLIENT_SECRET,
          user: process.env.API_CONSUMER_USERNAME,
          pass: process.env.API_CONSUMER_PASSWORD
        }
      }
    ],
  ]
}

Add a drupalJSONAPIEntities section to your nuxt.config.js file in the following format for all required Entity types, Bundles, Schema types and Modes:

module.exports = {
  drupalJSONAPIEntities: {
    'entityType': { 'bundle': { 'type': [ 'mode' ] } }
  }
}

Example:

module.exports = {
  drupalJSONAPIEntities: {
    'node': {
      'recipe': {
        form: [ 'default' ],
        view: [ 'default' ],
      }
    }
  }
}

The module provides a plugin, which returns the Drupal JSON:API Entities schema(s).
