Installation

Install dependency

Run the following command in your Strapi project to install netlify-deployments:

yarn add strapi-plugin-netlify-deployments
# or
npm i -S strapi-plugin-netlify-deployments

Enable plugin configuration

Open config/plugins.js file and add the netlify-deployments entry:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  "netlify-deployments": {
    enabled: true,
  },
});

Run

You can now run Strapi:

yarn develop

You should see the Netlify Deployments menu in the left panel.

Note: You may need to run yarn build in order to see the new menu entries.

Then you can proceed with the plugin configuration.

Plugin Configuration

Config properties

Example:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  "netlify-deployments": {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      accessToken: "<netlify-access-token>",
      sites: [
        {
          name: 'Site 1',
          id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          buildHook: "https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/<hook_id>",
          branch: 'master' // optional
        }
      ]
    },
  },
});

The plugin is reading the following configuration variables to work:

• accessToken: Access token of your Netlify account used to fetch the list of deployments

  • Access tokens can be created and managed on your user settings

• sites: An array of Netlify sites to view and manage deploys.

  • The array must have objects with a name, id, and buildHook. Optionally, you can include a branch to override the default value of master. The id can be found under Site settings > General and you can follow this guide to create a build hook.

Environment Configuration

You shouldn’t disclose your Access Token for security reasons. Therefore, you shouldn’t add this value to versioning in a public git repository. A suggested solution is to use an environment variable. Example:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  "netlify-deployments": {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      accessToken: process.env.NETLIFY_DEPLOYMENTS_PLUGIN_ACCESS_TOKEN
    },
  },
});

Local development

For local development, you can add the config properties in your .env file:

NETLIFY_DEPLOYMENTS_PLUGIN_ACCESS_TOKEN="<netlify-access-token>"

Server

You can save these values as process env variable on your server (e.g. this guide is for Heroku).
