Frontend

Storyden is API-driven, so you can build an entirely custom frontend for the web, mobile or embed it into existing software.

You can get started by generating an API client from the OpenAPI specification in your chosen language. For TypeScript, we recommend using Orval.

There are some examples on the Storyden GitHub page for different languages and the setup shape for your project: https://github.com/storyden

It's roughly:

• Run Storyden locally in a container or on your computer
  • Use the full-stack variant for development so you can still use Storyden's frontend to edit data.
• Generate an API client from the OpenAPI spec
• Build your frontend against localhost:8000/api
• For production, either:
  • deploy two separate containers: one running purely Storyden's headless image and the other running your frontend;
  • or, build them into the same Docker image
