Go headless, but don’t lose your head Andy Adiwidjaja Virtual
StripeCon Europe, 24.09.2020
Headless is here to stay and Silverstripe CMS is the
best open source solution
Overview Why SSR? Should I care? Why headless Silverstripe CMS?
How can I start?
Why SSR? Should I care? Is it worth it?
Me - had projects as a NextJS developer - was
forced to work with strange backends - would like to use Silverstripe CMS - launches own projects with NextJS+SilverstripeCMS
Going SSR Disadvantages of Single Page Apps: - SEO -
Browser history - Time to first render Solutions: - Server-side-rendering - Static generators (Graphic: microsoft.com)
Yeah, right Stacey Trooster StripeCon EU 2019
Headless CMS, React, SSR? 2001 2003 Plain PHP, Templating with
Smarty 2010 CMS, SASS, JQuery, Ajax 2015 CMS/Framework, SASS, React / Angular 2020 Plain HTML, Dreamweaver Templates
Demo https://kulturellebildung-sh.de/ Loads pages as XHR Loads HTML on Reload
Works without JavaScript!
NextJS getStaticProps getStaticPaths: - Fetch data at Build time New:
“static can also be dynamic” - getStaticProps can revalidate - getStaticPaths can have fallback getServerSideProps: - Fetch data on each request
NextJS SSR
NextJS dynamic pages Default NextJS logic: pages in /pages folder.
Former solution: Custom server.js rewriting to /pages/index.tsx Now: /pages/[[...page]].tsx
So, why Silverstripe CMS as headless CMS?
Headless CMS Criteria: Simple setup Mostly config Low maintenance Frontend-independent,
but: Pages Page elements Navigation Custom Data Hosted CMS (examples): Contentful Kentico GraphCMS Expensive, Limitations. Self-hosted CMS: Strange new players, all old players with APIs
Silverstripe CMS - dev/build - Pages with Elemental - ModelAdmin
- Backend functionality - Backend integration! Basic admin interfaces are a matter of configuration, but configuration in code! Strength of Silverstripe: Create solutions! class Actor extends DataObject { private static $db = [ “Name” => “Varchar(255) ]; } class ActorAdmin extends ModelAdmin { private static $managed_models = [ Actor::class, ]; private static $url_segment=”actor”; private static $menu_title=”Actors”; }
Example: DBRD React Frontend Headless Silverstripe CMS Sync with MS
Dynamics 365 (SOAP) ModelAdmin for Control No pages, assets etc. Easy to map models in and out
How? https://github.com/adiwidjaja/silverstripe-nextjs-starter Demo - Elements - Preview - RedirectorPage
File structure .storybook Storybook config backend Silverstripe CMS pages NextJS
pages public NextJS static files src JavaScript code No templates!
Setup > git clone
[email protected]
:adiwidjaja/ silverstripe-nextjs-starter.git demo > cd demo
> vi .env # Configuration > cd backend && composer install # PHP dependencies > cd .. > yarn # JS dependencies > yarn dev # Dev server
JavaScript Stack - NextJS - React - Typescript - Styled-components
- Storybook const FaqElementStyled = styled.div``; const TextContent = styled.div` display: ${props => (props.visible ? 'block' : 'none')}; `; const FaqElement = ({ title, text, }) => { const [open, setOpen] = useState(false); return ( <FaqElementStyled> <h1 onClick={() => setOpen(!open)}>{title}</h1> <TextContent visible={open}>{text}</TextContent> </FaqElementStyled> ); };
Config .env
Backend: Models Page TextElement FAQElement - Title - Description -
Image - Text
GraphQL - Route - Page - Fields - readOne op
with Resolver - nestedQueries - Elements - Menu - Children
Backend: Resolver
GraphiQL Your single most important tool Working with GraphQL. composer
require --dev silverstripe/ Graphql-devtools Demo
Client: GraphQL /src/utils/api.ts Called by getServerSideProps
Tricks BaseElementalExtension: - getContentFields: Waiting for GraphQL 4 Page: -
FrontendLink - Menu - PreviewLink Cannot use LinkOrSection, as Director::get_curr_page() uses Controller::curr(), which is not available.
Hosting - Silverstripe CMS: Standard - Javascript: Start with pm2
- NGinx: - /api: Rewrite to Silverstripe public folder - /: Proxy to Javascript-Server location ^~ /api { alias [...]/demo/backend/public; try_files $uri $uri/ @silverstripe; [...] } location @silverstripe { rewrite /api/(.*)$ /api/index.php?$1 last; } location ~ ^/ { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; } > yarn && yarn build > pm2 start yarn --interpreter bash --name app -- start > pm2 restart app
Conclusion SSR is no silver bullet Headless is here to
stay SSR+Headless Silverstripe CMS is easy to setup I would like to see a positioning for Silverstripe CMS as a headless CMS.
Thank you! I’m happy to speak with you about Headless+SSR.
