Getting Started with Sapper
The Strapi Documentation team focuses on improving the documentation for Strapi 5's core experience. We will release many changes in the next 6 months, so please keep an eye out 👀.
As a result, the present page is now in maintenance mode only, might not be fully up-to-date with Strapi 5, and will soon be removed from docs.strapi.io and moved to Strapi's integrations page.
In the meantime, if you want to help us improve this page, please feel free to contribute to the documentation's GitHub repository.
This integration guide follows the Quick Start Guide. You should be able to consume the API by browsing the URL http://localhost:1337/api/restaurants.
If you haven't gone through the Quick Start Guide, the way you request a Strapi API with Sapper remains the same except that you do not fetch the same content.
Create a Sapper app
First, install Degit by running npm install -g degit
in your command-line interface (CLI).
“Degit makes copies of Git repositories and fetches the latest commit in the repository. This is a more efficient approach than using git clone, because we’re not downloading the entire Git history.”
Create a basic Sapper application using webpack:
npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack" sapper-app
Use an HTTP client
Many HTTP clients are available but in this documentation we'll use Axios and Fetch.
- axios
- fetch
yarn add axios
No installation needed
GET Request your collection type
Execute a GET
request on the restaurant
collection type in order to fetch all your restaurants.
Be sure that you activated the find
permission for the restaurant
collection type
- axios
- fetch
import axios from 'axios';
axios.get('http://localhost:1337/api/restaurants').then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
fetch('http://localhost:1337/api/restaurants', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
