Using Contentful's Delivery API

Ecosystem Static site generators
1

Hi,

I’ve added Contentful’s Javascript Delivery SDK to VuePress - a static site generator (details below). I thought Contentful’s Content Delivery API is used once to build the site with the content I received. But in the network section of the browser developer tools I see API requests even after the site has been deployed to Netlify/ is live.

Is that the way it should be?

How I added Contentful to VuePress:

  1. I created docs/.vuepress/contentful.js

    const contentful = require('contentful')
const config = {
  space: "example-space",
  accessToken: "example-token"
}
module.exports = {
  createClient () {
    return contentful.createClient(config)
  }
}

  2. I added to the in docs/.vuepress/components/ExampleComponent.vue

      import { createClient } from '../contentful.js'
  const client = createClient()
 
  ...

  created() {
      client
        .getEntry("example-entry")
        .then(entry => this.data = entry)
        .catch(err => console.log(err));
    }
  }

Thank you very much for your help :blush:
