Connect to Strapi
Headless CMS

Prebuilt Getting Started

• Create a new graph in GraphOS and follow the "Set up your local development environment" instructions.

• Update your local router.yaml file to configure your STRAPI_API_KEY with read access to Users - be sure to update your supergraph.yaml to use the same subgraph name (users)

# router.yaml
connectors:
  subgraphs:
    users.strapi:
      $config:
        apiKey: ${env.STRAPI_API_KEY}
        
# supergraph.yaml
federation_version: =2.10.0
subgraphs:
  users:
    routing_url: http://strapi-users
    schema:
      file: users.graphql

• Copy the prebuilt Connector file content into the .graphql file in your local project. Strapi ships with a default User Content-Type that the prebuilt Connector uses. You can copy the pattern for any Content-Type you have defined in your Strapi instance.

• Run rover dev with your STRAPI_API_KEY:

export STRAPI_API_KEY=...
rover dev \
  --supergraph-config supergraph.yaml \
  --router-config router.yaml
