Storyblok is a component-based headless CMS that allows you to manage your content using reusable components called Bloks.

Integrating with Astro

In this section, you will use the Storyblok integration to connect Storyblok to Astro.

Prerequisites

To get started, you will need to have the following:

An Astro project - If you don’t have an Astro project yet, our Installation guide will get you up and running in no time.
A Storyblok account and space - If you don’t have an account yet, sign up for free and create a new space.
Storyblok Preview token - This token will be used to fetch drafts and published versions of your content. You can find and generate your API token in the Access Tokens tab of your Storyblok space settings.

Setting up credentials

To add your Storyblok credentials to Astro, create a .env file in the root of your project with the following variable:

STORYBLOK_TOKEN=YOUR_PREVIEW_TOKEN

Now, you should be able to use these environment variables in your project.

Your root directory should now include this new file:

Directorysrc/
- …
.env
astro.config.mjs
package.json

Installing dependencies

To connect Astro with your Storyblok space, install the official Storyblok integration using the command below for your preferred package manager:

npm install @storyblok/astro vite

pnpm add @storyblok/astro vite

yarn add @storyblok/astro vite

Configuring Storyblok

Modify your Astro config file to include the Storyblok integration:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import storyblok from '@storyblok/astro';
import { loadEnv } from 'vite';

const env = loadEnv("", process.cwd(), 'STORYBLOK');

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    storyblok({
      accessToken: env.STORYBLOK_TOKEN,
      components: {
        // Add your components here
      },
      apiOptions: {
        // Choose your Storyblok space region
        region: 'us', // optional,  or 'eu' (default)
      },
    })
  ],
});

The Storyblok integration requires an object with the following properties:

accessToken - This references the Storyblok API token that you added in the previous step.

Since the Astro config file does not normally support environment variables, use the loadEnv function from Vite to load them.
components - An object that maps Storyblok component names to paths to your local components. This is required to render your Storyblok Bloks in Astro.

The component paths are relative to the src directory. For example, if your component is located at src/storyblok/MyComponent.astro, the path would be storyblok/MyComponent (without the .astro extension).
apiOptions - An object containing Storyblok API options.

By default, the region is eu. If your Storyblok space was created in the US region, you will need to set the region to us.

Connecting Bloks to Astro components

To connect your Bloks to Astro, create a new folder named storyblok in the src directory. This folder will contain all the Astro components that will match your Bloks in your Storyblok Blok library.

In this example, you have a blogPost Blok content type in your Storyblok library with the following fields:

title - A text field
description - A text field
content - A rich text field

Our goal is to create the equivalent Astro component that will use these fields to render its content. To do this, create a new file named BlogPost.astro inside src/storyblok with the following content:

---
import { storyblokEditable, renderRichText } from '@storyblok/astro'

const { blok } = Astro.props
const content = renderRichText(blok.content)
---

<article {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>
  <h1>{blok.title}</h1>
  <p>{blok.description}</p>
  <Fragment set:html={content} />
</article>

The blok property contains the data that you will receive from Storyblok. It also contains the fields that were defined in the blogPost content type Blok in Storyblok.

To render our content, the integration provides utility functions such as:

storyblokEditable - it adds the necessary attributes to the elements so that you can edit them in Storyblok.
renderRichText - it transforms the rich text field into HTML.

Your root directory should include this new file:

Directorysrc/
- Directorystoryblok/
  - BlogPost.astro
.env
astro.config.mjs
package.json

Finally, to connect the blogPost Blok to the BlogPost component, add a new property to your components object in your Astro config file.

The key is the name of the Blok in Storyblok. In this case, it is blogPost.
The value is the path to the component. In this case, it is storyblok/BlogPost.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import storyblok from '@storyblok/astro';
import { loadEnv } from 'vite';

const env = loadEnv("", process.cwd(), 'STORYBLOK');

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    storyblok({
      accessToken: env.STORYBLOK_TOKEN,
      components: {
        blogPost: 'storyblok/BlogPost',
      },
      apiOptions: {
        region: 'us',
      },
    })
  ],
});

Fetching data

To test the setup, in Storyblok create a new story with the blogPost content type named test-post. In Astro, create a new page in the src/pages/ directory named test-post.astro with the following content:

---
import { useStoryblokApi } from '@storyblok/astro'
import StoryblokComponent from '@storyblok/astro/StoryblokComponent.astro'

const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi()

const { data } = await storyblokApi.get("cdn/stories/test-post", {
  version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
});

const content = data.story.content;
---
<StoryblokComponent blok={content} />

To query your data, use the useStoryblokApi hook. This will initialize a new client instance using your integration configuration.

To render your content, pass the content property of the Story to the StoryblokComponent as a blok prop. This component will render the Bloks that are defined inside the content property. In this case, it will render the BlogPost component.

Making a blog with Astro and Storyblok

With the integration set up, you can now create a blog with Astro and Storyblok.

Prerequisites

A Storyblok space - For this tutorial, we recommend using a new space. If you already have a space with Bloks, feel free to use them, but you will need to modify the code to match the Blok names and content types.
An Astro project integrated with Storyblok - See integrating with Astro for instructions on how to set up the integration.

Creating a blok library

To create Bloks, go to the Storyblok app and click on the Block Library tab. Click on the + New blok button and create the following Bloks:

blogPost - A content type Blok with the following fields:
- title - A text field
- description - A text field
- content - A rich text field
blogPostList - An empty nestable Blok
page - A content type Blok with the following fields:
- body - A nestable Blok

Creating content

To add new content, go to the content section by clicking on the Content tab. Using the Blok library that you created in the previous step, create the following stories:

home - A content type story with the page Blok. Inside the body field, add a blogPostList Blok.

blog/no-javascript - A story with the blogPost content type inside the blog folder.

title: No JavaScript
description: A sample blog post
content: Hi there! This blog post doesn't use JavaScript.

blog/astro-is-amazing - A story with the blogPost content type inside the blog folder.

title: Astro is amazing
description: We love Astro
content: Hi there! This blog post was build with Astro.

Now that you have your content ready, return to your Astro project and start building your blog.

Connecting Bloks to components

To connect your newly created Bloks to Astro components, create a new folder named storyblok in your src directory and add the following files:

Page.astro is a nestable Block content type component that will recursively render all the Bloks inside the body property of the page Blok. It also adds the storyblokEditable attributes to the parent element which will allow us to edit the page in Storyblok.

---
import { storyblokEditable } from '@storyblok/astro'
import StoryblokComponent from "@storyblok/astro/StoryblokComponent.astro";
const { blok } = Astro.props
---

<main {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>
  {
    blok.body?.map((blok) => {
      return <StoryblokComponent blok={blok} />
    })
  }
</main>

BlogPost.astro will render the title, description and content properties of the blogPost Blok.

To transform the content property from a rich text field to HTML, you can use the renderRichText helper function.

---
import { storyblokEditable, renderRichText } from '@storyblok/astro'
const { blok } = Astro.props
const content = renderRichText(blok.content)
---
<article {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>
  <h1>{blok.title}</h1>
  <p>{blok.description}</p>
  <Fragment set:html={content} />
</article>

BlogPostList.astro is a nestable Blok content type component that will render a list of blog post previews.

It uses the useStoryblokApi hook to fetch all the stories with the content type of blogPost. It uses the version query parameter to fetch the draft versions of the stories when in development mode and the published versions when building for production.

Astro.props is used to set up the editor in Storyblok. Additional props can also be passed to your component here, if needed.

---
import { storyblokEditable } from '@storyblok/astro'
import { useStoryblokApi } from '@storyblok/astro'

const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi();

const { data } = await storyblokApi.get('cdn/stories', {
  version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
  content_type: 'blogPost',
})

const posts = data.stories.map(story => {
  return {
    title: story.content.title,
    date: new Date(story.published_at).toLocaleDateString("en-US", {dateStyle: "full"}),
    description: story.content.description,
    slug: story.full_slug,
  }
})

const { blok } = Astro.props
---

<ul {...storyblokEditable(blok)}>
  {posts.map(post => (
    <li>
      <time>{post.date}</time>
      <a href={post.slug}>{post.title}</a>
      <p>{post.description}</p>
    </li>
  ))}
</ul>

Finally, add your components to the components property of the storyblok config object in astro.config.mjs. The key is the name of the Blok in Storyblok, and the value is the path to the component relative to src.

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import storyblok from '@storyblok/astro';
import { loadEnv } from 'vite';

const env = loadEnv("", process.cwd(), 'STORYBLOK');

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    storyblok({
      accessToken: env.STORYBLOK_TOKEN,
      components: {
        blogPost: 'storyblok/BlogPost',
        blogPostList: 'storyblok/BlogPostList',
        page: 'storyblok/Page',
      },
      apiOptions: {
        region: 'us',
      },
    })
  ],
});

Generating pages

To create a route for a specific page, you can fetch its content directly from the Storyblok API and pass it to the StoryblokComponent component. Remember to make sure you have added the Page component to your astro.config.mjs.

Create an index.astro file in src/pages/ to render the home page:

---
import { useStoryblokApi } from '@storyblok/astro'
import StoryblokComponent from '@storyblok/astro/StoryblokComponent.astro'
import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro'

const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi();
const { data } = await storyblokApi.get('cdn/stories/home', {
  version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
});
const content = data.story.content;
---
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Storyblok & Astro</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <StoryblokComponent blok={content} />
  </body>
</html>

To generate pages for all of your blog posts, create a .astro page that will create dynamic routes. This approach varies depending on whether you’re using static site generation (the default) or server-side rendering.

Static site generation

If you are using Astro’s default static site generation, you will use dynamic routes and the getStaticPaths function to generate your project pages.

Create a new directory src/pages/blog/ and add a new file called [...slug].astro with the following code:

---
import { useStoryblokApi } from '@storyblok/astro'
import StoryblokComponent from '@storyblok/astro/StoryblokComponent.astro'

export async function getStaticPaths() {
  const sbApi = useStoryblokApi();

  const { data } = await sbApi.get("cdn/stories", {
    content_type: "blogPost",
    version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
  });

  const stories = Object.values(data.stories);

  return stories.map((story) => {
    return {
      params: { slug: story.slug },
    };
  });
}

const sbApi = useStoryblokApi();
const { slug } = Astro.params;
const { data } = await sbApi.get(`cdn/stories/blog/${slug}`, {
  version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
});

const story = data.story;
---

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Storyblok & Astro</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <StoryblokComponent blok={story.content} />
  </body>
</html>

This file will generate a page for each story, with the slug and content fetched from the Storyblok API.

Server-side rendering

If you’ve opted into SSR mode, you will use dynamic routes to fetch the page data from Storyblok.

Create a new directory src/pages/blog/ and add a new file called [...slug].astro with the following code:

---
import { useStoryblokApi } from '@storyblok/astro'
import StoryblokComponent from '@storyblok/astro/StoryblokComponent.astro'
const storyblokApi = useStoryblokApi()
const slug = Astro.params.slug;
let content;
try {
  const { data } = await storyblokApi.get(`cdn/stories/blog/${slug}`, {
    version: import.meta.env.DEV ? "draft" : "published",
  });
  content = data.story.content
} catch (error) {
  return Astro.redirect('/404')
}
---
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Storyblok & Astro</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <StoryblokComponent blok={content} />
  </body>
</html>

This file will fetch and render the page data from Storyblok that matches the dynamic slug parameter.

Since you are using a redirect to /404, create a 404 page in src/pages:

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Not found</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Sorry, this page does not exist.</p>
  </body>
</html>

If the story is not found, the request will be redirected to the 404 page.

Publishing your site

To deploy your website, visit our deployment guides and follow the instructions for your preferred hosting provider.

Rebuild on Storyblok changes

If your project is using Astro’s default static mode, you will need to set up a webhook to trigger a new build when your content changes. If you are using Netlify or Vercel as your hosting provider, you can use its webhook feature to trigger a new build from Storyblok events.

Netlify

To set up a webhook in Netlify:

Go to your site dashboard and click on Build & deploy.
Under the Continuous Deployment tab, find the Build hooks section and click on Add build hook.
Provide a name for your webhook and select the branch you want to trigger the build on. Click on Save and copy the generated URL.

Vercel

To set up a webhook in Vercel:

Go to your project dashboard and click on Settings.
Under the Git tab, find the Deploy Hooks section.
Provide a name for your webhook and the branch you want to trigger the build on. Click Add and copy the generated URL.

Adding a webhook to Storyblok

In your Storyblok space Settings, click on the Webhooks tab. Paste the webhook URL you copied in the Story published & unpublished field and hit Save to create a webhook.

Now, whenever you publish a new story, a new build will be triggered and your blog will be updated.
