@ravisiontech/iris-client

The official client for reading your content from the Iris platform. Iris is where your site's content is managed and edited; this package lets your site fetch that content and render it however you like, with full TypeScript types.

Install

npm install @ravisiontech/iris-client
# or
pnpm add @ravisiontech/iris-client
# or
yarn add @ravisiontech/iris-client

Usage

import { createIris } from "@ravisiontech/iris-client";

const iris = createIris({ apiKey: process.env.IRIS_KEY! });

const home = await iris.pages.bySlug("home");
const all = await iris.pages.list();

Pass baseUrl to target a local Iris during development:

const iris = createIris({
  apiKey: process.env.IRIS_KEY!,
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000",
});

Requests are scoped to the property the API key belongs to, so pages.list() only ever returns that property's pages.

Rendering Content

A page's content is an array of blocks, each discriminated by blockType. Use getBlocks to iterate and narrow each block to its concrete shape:

import { getBlocks, type Page } from "@ravisiontech/iris-client";

function render(page: Page) {
  return getBlocks(page).map((block) => {
    switch (block.blockType) {
      case "hero":
        return block.heading; // typed as the hero block
      case "faq":
        return block.items;
      default:
        return null;
    }
  });
}

BlockOfType<"hero"> narrows to a single block type when you want per-block components.

API

Method	Returns
iris.pages.list(opts?)	Paginated<Page>
iris.pages.bySlug(slug, opts?)	Page | null
iris.pages.byId(id, opts?)	Page
iris.media.byId(id, opts?)	Media
iris.raw.get(path, params?)	raw JSON (escape hatch)

opts accepts depth, limit, page, sort, where, and draft. Failed requests throw an IrisError carrying the response status and body.

Types

Every type you need ships with the package. Import Page, Media, and the block unions (PageBlock, BlockOfType) directly:

import type { Media, Page, PageBlock } from "@ravisiontech/iris-client";

They always reflect the content types set up in your Iris platform, so your editor autocompletes real fields and flags typos before you ship.
