This is a wrapper around the swagger API provided by Squidex.
The project is still a in early phase so the featureset is limited.
Please note all examples below use cloud.squidex.io
in the examples but you
can easily change out the https://cloud.squidex.io/api
portion with the
following format https://<my-server-url>/api/
for self-hosted version.
Squidex is a open source headless CMS. To learn more about it checkout the following links:
npm install squidex-client-manager
yarn add squidex-client-manager
You need to setup the client before using it. For getting values for the client see
https://cloud.squidex.io/app/<my-app>/settings/clients
When you have those values you can setup the client. Note that all examples
below assume you are running in an async
function.
const { SquidexClientManager } = require('squidex-client-manager');
const client = new SquidexClientManager(
// Server Url
'https://cloud.squidex.io',
// App name
'my-blog-squidex',
// Client Id
'my-blog-squidex:developer',
// Client Secret
'my-secret',
);
By default only 20
records are returned, the max is 200
but you can combine
it with skip
to paginate between the results or use AllRecords
like below.
const records = await client.RecordsAsync('Articles', { top: 0 })
console.log(JSON.stringify(records, null, 2))
/* Output:

The current implementation of filtering only supports comparisons i.e only
eq
. If you have use case that requests the full support of OData
Conventions, please reach out by creating a issue.
If you only want to use eq
then the following example should suffice
const input = { data: { title: { iv: 'Hello Squidex' } }, publish: true }
const filter = await client.FilterRecordsAsync('Articles', input, 'title')
console.log(JSON.stringify(filter, null, 2))
/* Output:

If you need to upload images or PDF's you can use CreateAssetAsync
. The only restriction currently
set is that the file must exist locally and be accessible. Also the mime type should be detectable.
// The path to the file locally
const filename = '../GitHub/power-by.png';
const localImageFile = path.resolve(__dirname, filename);
const upload = await client.CreateAssetAsync(localImageFile);
console.log(upload.statusText, `${upload.url}/${upload.body.id}`);

some reason you experience issues creating content via the API and are
self-hosting. Make sure you are running a recent release of Squidex.
To check your version visit check version visit https://<my-server-url>/api/info
- Check the client has enough permissions (recommended role for testing is
Developer
). - Check the model name you are querying exists in the Squidex schema.
- Check your token is valid.
