Create a React site using data from Optimizely Graph

This tutorial creates a website that uses content from the "Music Festival" site that is synchronized to an Optimizely Graph demo account. Use a tool to auto-generate Typescript types from the Optimizely Graph service to let you work with strongly typed content from the "Music Festival" site.

This tutorial uses a preprepared Optimizely Graph account, where content types and content are synchronized from a "Music Festival" site. You can do the same thing from any Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) site using your own account. You will only have to modify the key and the queries.

Prerequisites

1. Install yarn through npm:
   Shell

   npm install --global yarn
   

2. Set up the Music Festival CMS backend site.
3. Add the package "Optimizely.ContentGraph.Cms" to the site.
4. Configure keys to "Optimizely Graph" for the site
5. Run the scheduled job "Optimizely Graph" to sync all content types and content from the site to "Optimizely Graph".

Tutorial

Set up your CMS site

1. Create your site by running:

yarn create react-app music-festival-graphql --template typescript

2. Go to the new folder for your created site:

cd music-festival-graphql

3. Start your site by running:

yarn start

4. Go to your new site by going http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
5. Install @tanstack/react-query by running:

yarn add @tanstack/react-query@4

6. Install html-react-parser by running:

yarn add html-react-parser

7. Add Codegen dependencies. Codegen lets you auto-generate TypeScript types based on the schema for the site from which you sync content types and content.

yarn add graphql
yarn add @graphql-codegen/cli
yarn add @graphql-codegen/typescript
yarn add @graphql-codegen/typescript-operations
yarn add @graphql-codegen/typescript-react-query

8. Create a codegen.yaml file to root by running

touch codegen.yaml

9. Add the following configuration to newly created codegen.yaml file.

schema: https://cg.optimizely.com/content/v2?auth=XoXsOl2bScWZzguDUylvaaZ5PEAAH5tg5qme0NebCHzEpyO4
documents: './src/**/*.graphql'
generates:
  ./src/generated.ts:
    plugins:
      - typescript
      - typescript-operations
      - typescript-react-query
    config:
      withHooks: true
      fetcher:
        endpoint: 'https://cg.optimizely.com/content/v2?auth=XoXsOl2bScWZzguDUylvaaZ5PEAAH5tg5qme0NebCHzEpyO4'

XoXsOl2bScWZzguDUylvaaZ5PEAAH5tg5qme0NebCHzEpyO4 is the public key for the Optimizely Graph account that you will use. You can change the YAML file to use your own public key if you have prepared a CMS backend site (see the preparations section).

10. Update the package.json file by adding the following inside "scripts": "generate": "graphql-codegen"
    Your package.json might look similar to the following after the modification

{
  "name": "music-festival-graphql",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@graphql-codegen/cli": "^2.11.6",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript": "^2.7.3",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript-operations": "^2.5.3",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript-react-query": "^4.0.1",
    "@tanstack/react-query": "4",
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.14.1",
    "@tanstack/react-query": "4",
    "@testing-library/react": "^13.0.0",
    "@testing-library/user-event": "^13.2.1",
    "@types/jest": "^27.0.1",
    "@types/node": "^16.7.13",
    "@types/react": "^18.0.0",
    "@types/react-dom": "^18.0.0",
    "graphql": "^16.6.0",
    "html-react-parser": "^3.0.1",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-query": "^3.39.2",
    "react-scripts": "5.0.1",
    "typescript": "^4.4.2",
    "web-vitals": "^2.1.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "generate": "graphql-codegen",
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": [
      "react-app",
      "react-app/jest"
    ]
  },
  "browserslist": {
    "production": [
      ">0.2%",
      "not dead",
      "not op_mini all"
    ],
    "development": [
      "last 1 chrome version",
      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  }
} 

11. Optional: Install extension in Visual Studio Code. Installing graphql.vscode-graphql as an extension to Visual Studio (VS) Code will make writing GraphQL queries inside VS Code easier. Go to extensions and search for: graphql.vscode-graphql.

Add GraphQL files

1. Create folders for graphql and fragments under src by running:

   Shell

   cd src
   mkdir graphql
   cd graphql
   mkdir fragments
   

2. Add one GraphQL query to use to handle requests for the pages. The idea is to use the same query for incoming routes but only fetch the necessary properties that match the route. You start creating fragments (partial queries) from your main query. Creating fragments lets you reuse GraphQL code for several queries. The query (including fragments) is validated against the schema when you run the tool for the auto-creation of TypeScript types. Error messages are returned if your query has issues. You can also test to create your own queries in the Optimizely online IDE using the account.

3. Go to fragments folder if you are not already there: (run pwd to see your current folder):

cd src/graphql/fragments

                       RelativePath
                       artists: _children {
                           ArtistDetailsPage(
                               where: {
                                   StageName: {
                                       eq: $stageName
                                   }
                                   ArtistGenre: {
                                       eq: $artistGenre
                                   }
                               }
                               orderBy: {
                                   ArtistIsHeadliner: ASC,
                                   PerformanceStartTime: ASC,
                                   StageName: ASC,
                                   Name: ASC
                               }
                           ) {
                               items {
                                   ...ArtistDetailsPage
                               }
                               facets {
                                   ArtistGenre(orderType: VALUE, orderBy: ASC, limit: 10) {
                                       name
                                       count
                                   }
                                   StageName(orderType: VALUE, orderBy: ASC, limit: 10) {
                                       name
                                       count
                                   }
                               }
                           }
                       }
                   }
                   ... on ArtistDetailsPage {
                       ...ArtistDetailsPage
                   }
               }
           }
       }
       

12. Generate the TypeScript classes by tool from Optimizely Graph using the created queries.

    Shell

    yarn generate
    

13. Check the new generated types in generated.ts. You can use those classes when creating the website, to have strongly typed support, similar to working with content types in .Net.

Implement the site

Create a starting point for the site, where you make a request to Optimizely Graph with the Start.graphql query.

1. Update index.tsx to use react-query:
   TypeScript

   import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
   import './index.css';
   import App from './App';
   import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';
   import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
    
    
   const queryClient = new QueryClient()
    
   const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(
   document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement
   );
   root.render(
       <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
           <App/>
       </QueryClientProvider>
   );
    
   // If you want to start measuring performance in your app, pass a function
   // to log results (for example: reportWebVitals(console.log))
   // or send to an analytics endpoint. Learn more: https://bit.ly/CRA-vitals
   reportWebVitals();
   

2. Update App.tsx to use react-query:
   TypeScript

   import './App.css';
   import { Locales, useStartQuery } from './generated';
    
   const App = () => {
    
       let relativePath = window.location.pathname.length > 1 ? window.location.pathname : '/en'
       if(relativePath.endsWith('/')) {
           relativePath = relativePath.substring(0, relativePath.length - 1)
       }
       const urlSegments = relativePath.split('/')
       const language = urlSegments.length == 0 ? 'en' : (urlSegments[0].length > 0 ? urlSegments[0] : (urlSegments.length > 1 ? urlSegments[1] : 'en'))
       const locale = language.replace('-', '_')
       
       const { data } = useStartQuery({ relativePath: relativePath, locale: locale as Locales });
       
       if(data) {
           return (
               <div className="App">
               {
                   data?.Content?.items?.map((content, idx) => {
                   const siteUrl = content?.Url?.substring(0, content?.Url.length - 1 - (content?.RelativePath?.length ?? 0)) ?? ''
                   if(content?.__typename === 'LandingPage') {
                   
                       return (
                           <div className="row" key={idx}>
                           
                           </div>
                       )
                   }
                   else if (content?.__typename === 'ArtistContainerPage') {
                   
                       return (
                           <div className="row" key={idx}>
                           
                           </div>
                       )
                   }
                   else if (content?.__typename === 'ArtistDetailsPage') {
                   
                       return (
                           <div className="row" key={idx}>
                           
                           </div>
                       )
                       }
                   })
               }
               </div>
           );
       }
           
       return (
           <div className="App">
               Loading
           </div>
       );
   };
    
   export default App;
   

Use the typed content to continue creating the site

You created the base. You can now use the data received from the service in a strongly typed way.

1. Build the site with the yarn build command.

2. Start the site with the yarn start command.
   You can now go to the different parts of the site. App.tsx is called for them, and the content contains data based on which URL is being used. You can try the following URLs:

   • http://localhost:3000
   • http://localhost:3000/en
   • http://localhost:3000/en/artists
   • http://localhost:3000/en/artists/windy-of-trick
     • The page will not render any content yet, because you have not used any content yet.

3. Add bootstrap by running:

4. Update App.tsx to implement LandingPage content:

   TypeScript

       }
       const urlSegments = relativePath.split('/')
       const language = urlSegments.length == 0 ? 'en' : (urlSegments[0].length > 0 ? urlSegments[0] : (urlSegments.length > 1 ? urlSegments[1] : 'en'))
       const locale = language.replace('-', '_')
       
       const { data } = useStartQuery({ relativePath: relativePath, locale: locale as Locales });

   You can now go to the root of the site to check the content.

Go to an artist page from the root of the site to check the content http://localhost:3000/en/artists.

Note

Filtering is not yet implemented. You can continue the implementation to add proper way of filtering artists based on genre and stage name. You can also add other filtering capabilities by modifying the query to add one more facet or a fulltext search box.

7. Update App.tsx to implement Artist details page content:

       let relativePath = window.location.pathname.length > 1 ? window.location.pathname : '/en'
       if(relativePath.endsWith('/')) {
           relativePath = relativePath.substring(0, relativePath.length - 1)
       }
       const urlSegments = relativePath.split('/')
       const language = urlSegments.length == 0 ? 'en' : (urlSegments[0].length > 0 ? urlSegments[0] : (urlSegments.length > 1 ? urlSegments[1] : 'en'))
       const locale = language.replace('-', '_')
       
       const { data } = useStartQuery({ relativePath: relativePath, locale: locale as Locales });
       
       if(data) {
