sourcebit-source-contentful

A Contentful source plugin for Sourcebit

👩‍🏫 Introduction

With this plugin, you can add Contentful as a data source for Sourcebit. To connect your Contentful account, you need a Personal Access Token.

🏗 Installation

To install the plugin and add it to your project, run:

npm install sourcebit-source-contentful --save

💡 You don't need to run this command if you start Sourcebit using the interactive setup process, as the CLI will install the plugin for you and add it as a dependency to your project.
