To display posts we create a few routes (using react-router) and components that 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.
routes.jsx
:
import React from 'react';
import { Router, IndexRoute, Route } from 'react-router';
import App from './App';
import BlogHome from './BlogHome';
import BlogPost from './BlogPost';
const Routes = (props) => (
<Router {...props}>
<Route path="/blog" component={App}>
<IndexRoute component={BlogHome} />
<Route path="/p/:page" component={BlogHome} />
<Route path="/post/:slug" component={BlogPost} />
</Route>
</Router>
);
export default Routes;
BlogHome.js
:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router'
import Butter from 'buttercms'
const butter = Butter('your_api_token');
class BlogHome extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
loaded: false
};
}
fetchPosts(page) {
butter.post.list({page: page, page_size: 10}).then((resp) => {
this.setState({
loaded: true,
resp: resp.data
})
});
}
componentWillMount() {
let page = this.props.params.page || 1;
this.fetchPosts(page)
}
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
this.setState({loaded: false});
let page = nextProps.params.page || 1;
this.fetchPosts(page)
}
render() {
if (this.state.loaded) {
const { next_page, previous_page } = this.state.resp.meta;
return (
<div>
{this.state.resp.data.map((post) => {
return (
<div key={post.slug}>
<Link to={`/post/${post.slug}`}>{post.title}</Link>
</div>
)
})}
<br />
<div>
{previous_page && <Link to={`/p/${previous_page}`}>Prev</Link>}
{next_page && <Link to={`/p/${next_page}`}>Next</Link>}
</div>
</div>
);
} else {
return (
<div>
Loading...
</div>
)
}
}
}
export default BlogHome;
Our BlogPost.js
component for displaying a full post includes information such as author and publish date. See a full list of available post properties in our API reference. We use react-helmet to set HTML title and meta tags for SEO.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Butter from 'buttercms'
import { Helmet } from "react-helmet";
const butter = Butter('your_api_token');
class BlogPost extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
loaded: false
};
}
componentWillMount() {
let slug = this.props.params.slug;
butter.post.retrieve(slug).then((resp) => {
this.setState({
loaded: true,
post: resp.data.data
})
});
}
render() {
if (this.state.loaded) {
const post = this.state.post;
return (
<div>
<Helmet>
<title>{post.seo_title}</title>
<meta name="description" content={post.meta_description} />
<meta name="og:image" content={post.featured_image} />
</Helmet>
<h1>{post.title}</h1>
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: post.body}} />
</div>
);
} else {
return (
<div>
Loading...
</div>
);
}
}
}
That's it! If you browse to your homepage you'll see your homepage populated with the content you created in Butter.
