Strapi v3 plugin for Filerobot by Scaleflex

Intro

Strapi v3.x.x

To know which versions of Node goes with which versions of Strapi, refer to here: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/releases

If you are not familiar with using the Strapi CMS, here are some quick tutorials:

Strapi v3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FnwAbd2SDY

Install the plugin

At this point, assuming that you already have an Strapi CMS installed and setup, and that you already have an super-admin user configured. It's time to install the Scaleflex Filerobot plugin for Strapi v3:

npm install strapi-plugin-filerobot

or

yarn add strapi-plugin-filerobot

Run

yarn build

yarn start

Configure

Click "Filerobot from Scaleflex" on the left vertical menu (under the plugins section)

• CNAME should be without https://
• Folder can have a preceding / , but it's not necessary. So both /folder_name and folder_name are ok

Usage

Now you can make use of the "Check Connection", "Synchronization Status" and "Trigger Synchronization" buttons.

Check Connection

Synchronization Status

Media Tab

The Media Tab keeps a "log" of all your media assets.

Note: when provider is local, the Hash is like a "unique name" generated by Strapi, and the Alt is like an "alternative name" generated by Strapi.

Indeed, there are 2 local images that are yet to be synchronized to the Filerobot platform.

And there are indeed 4 remote images on the Filerobot platform that are yet to be synchronized down to the Strapi CMS.

Trigger Synchronization

Afterwards, the logs will be updated:

Note: when provider is filerobot, the Hash is Filerobot's file -> hash -> sha1, and the Alt is Filerobot's file -> uuid.

FMAW Tab

When you Upload, the image will be uploaded to the Filerobot platform. Also, the same image (with Filerobot's URL) will go into the Strapi CMS:

If you know that eye.jpg only exists on the Filerobot platform (ie: haven't yet been synchronized down to the Strapi CMS), then you can check it and press "Add to Strapi":

REST API

Give the appropriate permissions to the authenticated user

Get the auth token

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIK9CYDgs5k&list=PL2dKqfImstaROBMu304aaEfIVTGodkdHh&index=3

curl --location --request POST '{domain}/auth/local' \
--form 'identifier="{an authenticated user's email}"' \
--form 'password="{an authenticated user's password'}"'

Potential Problem: If you get

error /var/www/v3/node_modules/redis/dist/index.js:42
            ...options?.modules
                       ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

you need to install a lower version of Redis, eg npm i [email protected]
