Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Creates or updates your app definition in Contentful, and runs the app in development mode. Open your app to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed!

npm run upload

Uploads the build folder to contentful and creates a bundle that is automatically activated. The command guides you through the deployment process and asks for all required arguments. Read here for more information about the deployment process.

npm run upload-ci

Similar to npm run upload it will upload your app to contentful and activate it. The only difference is
that with this command all required arguments are read from the environment variables, for example when you add the upload command to your CI pipeline.

For this command to work, the following environment variables must be set:

• CONTENTFUL_ORG_ID - The ID of your organization
• CONTENTFUL_APP_DEF_ID - The ID of the app to which to add the bundle
• CONTENTFUL_ACCESS_TOKEN - A personal access token

Libraries to use

To make your app look and feel like Contentful use the following libraries:

• Forma 36 – Contentful's design system
• Contentful Field Editors – Contentful's field editor React components

Using the contentful-management SDK

With the SDK and the contentful-management package installed, you can also create an instance of the contentful-management client using the cmaAdapter, which is part of the SDK, without passing the access token.

Install the package

npm i @contentful/contentful-management@latest @contentful/app-sdk@canary

Use it in your app

import { init } from '@contentful/app-sdk'
import { createClient } from 'contentful-management'


init(sdk => {
  // Create the client scoped to current space-environment
  const cma = createClient(
    { apiAdapter: sdk.cmaAdapter },
    {
      type: 'plain',
      defaults: {
        environmentId: sdk.ids.environment,
        spaceId: sdk.ids.space,
      },
    }
  );

  // Use the client
  cma.locale.getMany({}).then((locales) => console.log(locales))
})
