3 steps to connecting Adobe InDesign and Kirby<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install Kirby<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kirby is a flat-file CMS. That means all content is stored in files and folders. You can create that files and folders manually in the file system (and edit content files with the text editor). But it’s also possible to use a panel for that or create and modify content programmatically \u2013 with Kirby’s API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirby has an extremely flexible and versatile panel for data input. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The individual layout and field definitions are done in blueprints with YAML. Many predefined field types are already included. Custom fields can also be created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So you have full control over input fields and output format: \u00bbContent Representations allow you to output the content in different formats. Be it JSON for your frontend JS library of choice or to use Kirby as an API for other tools, [\u2026]\u00ab<\/em>. And this is where InDesign comes in \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can download Kirby via https:\/\/getkirby.com\/<\/a> (One license currently costs 99 Euro.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Configure Kirby<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To connect to InDesign, Kirby 3 has a built in REST API: \u00bbIt offers full access to your site, pages, files, users and more.\u00ab<\/em> Every API request requires authentication. Kirby offer session-based authentication or HTTP Basic auth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbBasic auth\u00ab has to be activated in the configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/site\/config\/config.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php\nreturn [\n    'api' => [\n        'basicAuth' => true\n    ]\n];<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
When \u00bbBasic auth\u00ab is activated, you must send an authorization header with every request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step: Fetch data in InDesign<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Via doScript and for example cURL the data can be fetched from Kirby in InDesign. Here is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cURL command for API data:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
var  _curlCommand = \"curl -X GET 'https:\/\/www.rolanddreger.net\n\/apollo\/api\/pages\/list\/children?select=id,num,title,url,content' \n-u yourUserName:yourPasswort -H 'Host: www.rolanddreger.net'\";<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
API-URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/www.rolanddreger.net\/apollo\/api
 Endpoint:<\/strong> pages
 Page ID:<\/strong> list
 Query:<\/strong> children
 Parameters:<\/strong> ?select=id,num,title,url,content<\/p>\n\n\n\n
URL for the XML file:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
In this example, an XML representation of all article pages (children of list page) will be created and imported into InDesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/www.rolanddreger.net\/apollo\/list\/lunar-surface-operations.xml
 \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
app.doScript<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
var _apiRequestString = app.doScript('do shell script \"' +\n _curlCommand + '\"', ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
