The node.js example app

The node.js example app teaches the very basics of how to work with Contentful:

• consume content from the Contentful Delivery and Preview APIs
• model content
• edit content through the Contentful web app

The app demonstrates how decoupling content from its presentation enables greater flexibility and facilitates shipping higher quality software more quickly.

Requirements

• Node 8
• Git
• Contentful CLI (only for write access)

Without any changes, this app is connected to a Contentful space with read-only access. To experience the full end-to-end Contentful experience, you need to connect the app to a Contentful space with read and write access. This enables you to see how content editing in the Contentful web app works and how content changes propagate to this app.

Common setup

Clone the repo and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/contentful/the-example-app.nodejs.git
cd the-example-app.nodejs

npm install

Steps for read-only access
