Integrating the Butter blog engine into your NuxtJS app is dead simple. Here's a mini tutorial to get a feel for setting up your blog home and blog post pages.
For a full integration guide, check out our Official NuxtJS Guide.
To display posts we create a simple /blog route in our app and fetch blog posts from the Butter API. See our API reference for additional options such as filtering by category or author. The response also includes some metadata we'll use for pagination.
To retrieve the blog posts using ButterCMS client, you can use the function butter.post.list({})
pages/blog/index.vue
import { butter } from '~/plugins/buttercms'
export default {
name: 'blog-home',
data() {
return {
page_title: 'Blog',
posts: []
}
},
methods: {
getPosts() {
butter.post
.list({
page: 1,
page_size: 10
})
.then((res) => {
// console.log(res.data)
this.posts = res.data.data
})
}
},
created() {
this.getPosts()
}
}
Display the result
<template>
<div id="blog-home">
<h1>{{ page_title }}</h1>
<div v-for="(post,index) in posts" :key="post.slug + '_' + index">
<router-link :to="'/blog/' + post.slug">
<article class="media">
<figure>
<img v-if="post.featured_image" :src="post.featured_image" alt="" />
<img v-else src="http://via.placeholder.com/250x250" alt="" />
</figure>
<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>
<p>{{ post.summary }}</p>
</article>
</router-link>
</div>
</div>
</template>
To display a complete post, you can use the butter.post.retrieve(<url>)
method. See a full list of available post properties in our API reference.
pages/blog/_slug.vue
import { butter } from '~/plugins/buttercms'
export default {
name: 'blog-post',
data() {
return {
post: {
data: {
author: {}
},
meta: {}
}
}
},
methods: {
getPost() {
butter.post
.retrieve(this.$route.params.slug)
.then((res) => {
console.log(res.data)
this.post = res.data
})
.catch((res) => {
console.log(res)
})
}
},
watch: {
$route(to, from) {
this.getPost()
}
},
created() {
this.getPost()
}
}
Display the result
<template>
<div id="blog-post">
<h1>{{ post.data.title }}</h1>
<h4>{{ post.data.author.first_name }} {{ post.data.author.last_name }}</h4>
<div v-html="post.data.body"></div>
