This solution has been moved to my organization and will be maintained at netlify-cms-components
Recommendation: If you are looking to extend NetlifyCMS and run a local file-system setup for development, use the netlify-cms-react-example starter project. It implements the backend as a component and bundles to a custom CMS deployment for your project.
Note: This is a backend library for NetlifyCMS proposed for file system testing of a CMS locally was contingent on this PR
Note #2: Created to be used for development purposes of a NetlifyCMS project. Handy for testing your config files.
To use:
Checkout and load dependencies
To load dependencies for build
yarnTo build dist/fs-backend.js
yarn build- Copy the
dist/fs-backend.jsscript bundle file into your cms location. - Change the
index.htmlpage to use the backend as in the example below - Register the backend Class to the CMS as shown below
- Change the
config.ymlbackend tobackend: file-systemor the name you registered - [Webpack] Add devServer middleware to expose the
/apipath for the file-system API - [Stand Alone Server] Create an express server (coming soon) to host the
/apiendpoint

<script>
CMS.registerBackend("file-system", FileSystemBackendClass)
</script>
</body>A React Component is required for the auth page of a backend in the NetlifyCMS, so you will need to use React to create the auth page of your backend library.
This library is using some styling that was in the NetlifyCMS, but it is better practice to style the component in your backend auth so a change does not break your component. (hey, call me lazy today 😁)
WARNING: This is a proof of concept at this time, there could be breaking changes to this library. I believe it can safely be used in a repository, since it is not used in production code. Ping me if you are not sure.
Don't forget: code like you are on 🔥
