# ExWagtailContentClient

Elixir library for consuming the [Wagtail content API](https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/advanced_topics/api/v2/usage.html)

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `ex_wagtail_content_client` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:ex_wagtail_content_client, "~> 0.1.0"},
  ]
end
```

## Usage

The library is a simple REST API client fo the default Wagtail Content API. It's intended for accessing content based on the `/v2/pages`, `/v2/images` and `/v2/documents` endpoints.

There are two key methods to consider.

### Listing collections

Use the `list` method to list the contents of a collection:

```elixir
{:ok, items, meta, info} = ExWagtailContentClient.list :pages, base_url: "https://iamkonstantin.eu"
```

The returned items are:

- `items` - a list of the JSON objects returned by the Wagtail API (the nested `items` field from the raw response).

- `meta` - the JSON meta object returned bu the Wagtail API.

- `info` - a map created by the library to include pagination information like the total number of items and helpers for the next and previous query.

### Get detail of a resource

Individual items can be retrieved by their `detail_url`:

```elixir
{:ok, content} = ExWagtailContentClient.detail "https://iamkonstantin.eu/api/v2/pages/45/"
```
