îles with a CMS

[rylanharper]

Hey there! I really appreciate all the work you've done with this project. I recently migrated over from Gridsome to îles and it works wonderfully when creating a SSG with markdown:)

I am wondering how îles would do when integrated with a CMS? I plan on using the Sanity-Vue integration with îles... I am not sure if it will work, but it seems like it should be just fine. Does this project require any specific setup when using a third-party CMS (like Sanity, Prismic, Contentful, etc.) other than what the given docs say? Or does it just function the same way as a regular Vue app? I am somewhat of a newer dev so any info on this would really help!

Thank you!

Hi Rylan! @rylanharper

I'm not familiar with the Sanity CMS, It should be possible to use îles with most CMSs.

During build, îles is effectively a regular Vue app, which runs in SSR mode to generate pages, so as long as the code is compatible with Node.js, it can connect to the internet, fetch third-party data, and use that data to render the pages.

Here's an example using the Directus API.

Hey @ElMassimo! Okay great thats good to know! It sounds like everything should go just fine setting up îles with a CMS. I also appreciate that Directus repo link. Although I am using Sanity, it has a similar integration pattern as other CMS platforms, and I have messed around with Gridsome + Directus in the past so I will reference this for my project. Perhaps consider adding this example link to the docs under the demos section? Edit: I just found this link on the docs, I should have been more thorough in my reading into this! 😓

Thanks for the help!:)
