React App: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' about sdk HOT 8 CLOSED

@webdeb: I got it. I was able to set up the NodeJS app using express. Thanks!

The admin-api package is only supposed to be used from server-side (node.js) code because admin api keys should never be shared in the way that would be necessary for client-side code to work.

What is your use-case? Maybe there’s a different approach than trying to bundle server-side libraries into your client code.

Oh 🙀 I see.

I'm using ghost as my backend and have a separated frontend. I'm trying to build a preview feature on my side, I realized that the content-api doesn't return me any posts with the draft status. I was trying to get those post through the admin-api, which I should not be doing as you said. Do you see a solution for this?

Thanks again @kevinansfield for the prompt response!

@rsarai Previews are currently considered private data, rather than public and are only available via the admin API, which cannot be used client-side. We are aware of the difficulties this causes and are still working on a plan for the best way to solve this long term.

In the meantime, the correct approach would be to run a small server-side "proxy" service that speaks to the admin API and will return preview data for you. You can authenticate with your service however you choose, meaning the level of privacy & security afforded to the data is fully within your control.

Totally get that this isn't ideal, but it is at least possible 🙂

@ErisDS Thank you! I will totally check this option

Great, I'm going to close this issue now as the original report isn't a bug, and we've identified a workaround for what you want to achieve.

@ErisDS: Do you have a tutorial or some documentation on how to set up the proxy service?

from sdk.

@underthehoodlearning A proxy service is just a server like express which forwards your requests to another service (in this case ghost). This might sound complex when you haven't had any experience with it. Play with express or something like this.
