### How to Enable Page Editing
|
|
689
|
+
|
|
690
|
+
The `@dotcms/client` SDK is responsible for **fetching** your page, while a framework SDK ([`@dotcms/react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dotcms/react) or [`@dotcms/angular`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dotcms/angular)) makes that page **editable** inside the [Universal Visual Editor (UVE)](https://dev.dotcms.com/docs/uve-headless-config).
|
|
691
|
+
|
|
692
|
+
The flow is always the same three steps:
|
|
693
|
+
|
|
694
|
+
1. **Fetch the page** on the server with `client.page.get()`.
|
|
695
|
+
2. **Connect the page to the editor** with the framework hook/service (`useEditableDotCMSPage` in React, `DotCMSEditablePageService` in Angular).
|
|
696
|
+
3. **Render the layout** with `DotCMSLayoutBody`, mapping your content types to components.
|
|
697
|
+
|
|
698
|
+
#### 1. Fetch the page with `client.page.get()`
|
|
699
|
+
|
|
700
|
+
Fetch the full page response on the server. The complete response object — not just `pageAsset` — must be forwarded to the editor layer, because it carries the data UVE needs to track changes.
|
|
701
|
+
|
|
702
|
+
```typescript
|
|
703
|
+
// server-side, e.g. a Next.js Server Component
|
|
704
|
+
import { createDotCMSClient } from '@dotcms/client';
|
|
705
|
+
|
|
706
|
+
const client = createDotCMSClient({
|
|
707
|
+
dotcmsUrl: 'https://your-dotcms-instance.com',
|
|
708
|
+
authToken: 'your-auth-token',
|
|
709
|
+
siteId: 'your-site-id'
|
|
710
|
+
});
|
|
711
|
+
|
|
712
|
+
// Return the whole response so the framework SDK can make it editable
|
|
713
|
+
export async function getPage(path: string) {
|
|
714
|
+
return await client.page.get(path);
|
|
715
|
+
}
|
|
716
|
+
```
|
|
717
|
+
|
|
718
|
+
#### 2. Make the page editable (React example)
|
|
719
|
+
|
|
720
|
+
Pass the full page response into `useEditableDotCMSPage`. The hook keeps the page in sync with UVE while editing and returns the same `pageAsset` / `content` shape you get from `client.page.get()`, so the component works identically in and out of the editor.
|
|
721
|
+
|
|
722
|
+
```tsx
|
|
723
|
+
'use client';
|
|
724
|
+
|
|
725
|
+
import { DotCMSLayoutBody, useEditableDotCMSPage } from '@dotcms/react';
|
|
726
|
+
import { pageComponents } from '@/components/content-types';
|
|
727
|
+
|
|
728
|
+
export function Page({ pageContent }) {
|
|
729
|
+
// `pageContent` is the full response from client.page.get()
|
|
730
|
+
const { pageAsset } = useEditableDotCMSPage(pageContent);
|
|
731
|
+
|
|
732
|
+
return (
|
|
733
|
+
<DotCMSLayoutBody
|
|
734
|
+
page={pageAsset}
|
|
735
|
+
components={pageComponents}
|
|
736
|
+
mode={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DOTCMS_MODE}
|
|
737
|
+
/>
|
|
738
|
+
);
|
|
739
|
+
}
|
|
740
|
+
```
|
|
741
|
+
|
|
742
|
+
> 💡 Using Angular? Use [`DotCMSEditablePageService`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dotcms/angular) together with `DotCMSLayoutBody` — the same fetch → make-editable → render flow applies.
|
|
743
|
+
|
|
744
|
+
#### 3. Render the layout with `DotCMSLayoutBody`
|
|
745
|
+
|
|
746
|
+
`DotCMSLayoutBody` renders the page's rows, columns, and containers, and maps each contentlet to one of your components via the `components` prop. When loaded inside UVE it automatically applies the `data-dot-*` attributes that make the page editable — no extra wiring required.
|
|
747
|
+
|
|
748
|
+
#### Working example
|
|
749
|
+
|
|
750
|
+
See the page-editing flow end to end in the official Next.js example — [`examples/nextjs`](https://github.com/dotCMS/core/tree/main/examples/nextjs). In particular, [`src/views/Page.js`](https://github.com/dotCMS/core/blob/main/examples/nextjs/src/views/Page.js) uses `useEditableDotCMSPage` and `DotCMSLayoutBody` exactly as shown above.
