next-drupal 1.5.0

1. Upgrade to the latest version

yarn add next-drupal@latest

next-drupal 1.4.0

1. Upgrade to the latest version

2. Create a new DrupalClient in lib/drupal.ts

import { DrupalClient } from "next-drupal"

export const drupal = new DrupalClient(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL,
  {
    frontPage: "/home",
    previewSecret: process.env.DRUPAL_PREVIEW_SECRET,
    auth: {
      clientId: process.env.DRUPAL_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.DRUPAL_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
  }
)

By default, all requests made to Drupal by DrupalClient are un-authenticated. See Step 5 below on how to configure permissions for un-authenticated calls.

To make authenticated requests, you opt-in on a method-basis.

If you want to have all requests authenticated, you can use the withAuth option on the DrupalClient:

import { DrupalClient } from "next-drupal"

export const drupal = new DrupalClient(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DRUPAL_BASE_URL,
  {
    frontPage: "/home",
    previewSecret: process.env.DRUPAL_PREVIEW_SECRET,
    auth: {
      clientId: process.env.DRUPAL_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.DRUPAL_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
    withAuth: true,
  }
)

3. Update helpers to use the drupal client.

+ import { drupal } from "lib/drupal"

- await getPathsFromContext()
+ await drupal.getStaticPathsFromContext()

- await translatePathFromContext()
+ await drupal.translatePathFromContext()

- await getResourceFromContext()
+ await drupal.getResourceFromContext()

4. Replace pages/api/preview.ts with the following:

- import { DrupalPreview } from "next-drupal"
-
- export default DrupalPreview()
+ import { drupal } from "lib/drupal"
+
+ export default async function (request, response) {
+  return await drupal.preview(request, response)
+ }

5. On the Drupal site, visit /admin/people/permissions/anonymous and assign the Issue subrequests permission to the Anonymous user role:
   
   We do this because during the build phase, most of the requests for pages are anonymous requests. By assigning this permission, you can significantly decrease your site's build time.
   
   If you would rather keep requests authenticated, you can use the withAuth options.

6. Done. You are now ready to run your site using the new DrupalClient.
