JSON RTE embeded entries

I’m working on a small side project, testing out the capabilities of the new JSON RTE field type in ContentStack by integrating it with a frontend UI like ChakraUI.  I’ve been able to get the basic formatting of default things like paragraphs, tables, lists and such, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to get the data for an embedded entry.  This is using Next.Js, so I’m using the ContentStack node.js packageTo give a small example, I have an entry type called Call To Action, which is just a model that holds a link, maybe an image, and gives a few other options for what the link can do.  I can choose to embed it into the JSON RTE, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to get the data for it.  I’m already getting the data for the rich text with the .includeReferences() method, but I can’t figure out the fields that I need to get all of the data for those other entries.I’ve attempted to use ‘rich_text.json_rte’, as those are the field names, but I’m not sure what the other

Spell check tool

 What are content managers using as a spell check tool for text fields? Are there any custom widgets / features that can be applied to specific CS fields (ie, headline/body/instructions) for spell check, instead of relying on a browser extension that scans the entire page?

How can I see where an asset is being used?

We are attempting to clean up and reorganize our assets in our Contentstack CMS, the problem is we haven’t found a way to see where each asset is being used. We have duplicate assets, how do we know where each one is being used so that we can consolidate?Is there an asset relationship feature in Contentstack to find out what entries reference a specific asset?

How to deploy "nx" monorepos on Launch

Problem StatementLaunch supports deploying monorepos. The documentation shows how to deploy monorepos using an Turborepo as the framework. nx is a similar monorepo framework. You might face issues deploying an nx based monorepo setup on Launch. Root causeBy default, the nx outputs to a different dist directory, outside the source directory. This approach is different from other monorepos, notably turborepo, which outputs the build to the same source directory structure. For e.g. if we have the following directory structure for a NextJS based module in a monorepo:/apps/myappBy default, nx will output the build at:/dist/apps/myapp/.nextWhile turborepo outputs at:/apps/myapp/.nextLaunch does not support outputing the build to a separate directory structure. Steps to Resolve In the project.json file, change the outputPath from dist/apps/myapp to just apps/myapp In the environment settings, under "Deployment", change the following settings: Framework Preset: NextJs Output Directory: .

Troubleshoot NextJS Image Optimization not working on Contentstack Launch

Problem StatementNextJS image optimization is a useful feature to optimize images for the web. A common use case is to optimize various image formats to a web optimized format like webp.You may face an issue where the image optimization works when testing locally, but does not work when deploying to Launch. Root CauseNextJS requires installing the sharp library in production for image optimization. The latest version of sharp (>= 0.33.0) does not get included in the build due to a bug in vercel/nft. Steps to ResolveExplicitly install an older version of sharp as follows:npm install sharp@0.32.6or add the dependency in your package.json:"sharp": "0.32.6"We also recommend using Contentstack's image delivery API instead for better performance and many other features.

Live preview with NextJS SSR

https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-live-preview/set-up-live-preview-with-rest-for-server-side-renderingI completed all the steps listed in this document to setup live preview for our site. When debugging, I see that the live preview hash and content_type_uid are received by the NextJS server. They are then passed by me to the Stack.livePreviewQuery. Now when I try to test live preview, the website is loaded successfully and I get the following message: You are currently previewing a different webpage. To go back, open the webpage that corresponds to the current entry.When I make changes to the entry, the website in the preview pane reloads (I see it blinking a bit + the server logs indicate that new requests are made each time I make draft changes to the entity), but it never gets into the “draft” mode. The thing is that while all these live preview configuration steps seem to be simple, I lack understanding of how exactly live preview works, so I don’t have any idea o

Fetching all referenced entries

In our project, we need the content manager to have the ability to create entries from other entities that reference each other. Flexibility is the priority, so the structure of the content does not adhere to any predefined schema and is unknown in advance. The issue is that we are unable to retrieve an entry along with all the entries it references, as well as their referenced entries.In this discussion, the idea of introducing a potential include_all method or parameter was brought up, but as of now, such an option is not available. Are there any plans to implement this feature in the future?
