$strapi

This module globally injects $strapi instance, meaning that you can access it anywhere using this.$strapi. For plugins, asyncData, fetch, nuxtServerInit and Middleware, you can access it from context.$strapi.

Properties

All properties are reactive. Meaning that you can safely use them in Vue template v-if conditions.

user

This object contains details about authenticated user. You can access it using $strapi.

// get user
this.$strapi.user
// set user prop
this.$strapi.user.avatar = ''

Methods

find(entity, params?)

• Returns Promise

Get entries. Returns entries matching the query filters. You can read more about parameters here.

The second argument params is for query parameters:

await this.$strapi.find('products', { title: '' })
// With entity shortcut
await this.$strapi.$products.find({ title: '' })

// 1st method
await $strapi.find('products', [['categories.name', 'women'], ['categories.name', 'men']])
// With entity shortcut
await $strapi.$products.find([['categories.name', 'women'], ['categories.name', 'men']])
// Entity shortcut with additional API Parameters
await $strapi.$products.find([['categories.name', 'women'], ['categories.name', 'men'], ['_limit', '200']])

// 2nd method
await $strapi.find('products', { 'categories.name': ['women', 'men'] })
// With entity shortcut
await $strapi.$products.find({ 'categories.name': ['women', 'men'] })
// Entity shortcut with additional API Parameters
await $strapi.$products.find({ 'categories.name': ['women', 'men'], _limit: 200 })

// 1st method
"?categories.name=woman&categories.name=men"
// 2nd method
