# Api Reference

# useContent

Composable provides complete handling for fetching data from the CMS. Data received from it is locally cached. To avoid overriding the data, pass a unique id when calling the search function.

const { content, search, loading, error } = useContent('unique-id')

# content

  • Type: content: { value: {} | [] }
  • Description: Vue Ref object (opens new window) that stores the data fetched from the CMS.
  • Default: []

Response

All the received data will be almost in the raw form. In other words all the values that Storyblok is passing through the API will be provided. However, we're meddling the response a bit. How? All the meta-data will ba passed to the _meta object. Story / component related data will pass as a default Storyblok object content - though we're not removing any properties. Additionally, you can get _editable field that is handling connection between your app and the Storyblok Bridge. All the nested objects and references will be delivered with the same format.

{
  "component": {},
  "content": {},
  "_meta": {},
  "_editable": {}
}
