Additional info

Exclude Nodes

Add nodes to be removed from the conversion

ContentfulConverter.configure do |config|
  config.forbidden_nodes = ['table', 'script', 'iframe']
end

<a>

• HTML hyperlinks with full URL e.g: (<a href="https://google.com"></a>), will be converted into URL hyperlinks

  {
  nodeType: 'paragraph',
  data: {},
  content: [
    {
      nodeType: 'hyperlink',
      data: {
        uri: 'https://google.com'
      },
      content: [
        {
          marks: [],
          value: 'click me',
          nodeType: 'text',
          data: {}
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
  }
  

• HTML hyperlinks without a scheme e.g: (<a href="/about_us/contact">about us</a>), will be converted into ENTRY hyperlinks, with the href value as an ID

  {
  nodeType: "paragraph",
  data: {},
  content: [
    {
      nodeType: "entry-hyperlink",
      data: {
        target: {
          sys: {
            id: "/about_us/contact",
            type: "Link",
            linkType: "Entry"
          }
        }
      },
      content: [
        {
          data: {},
          marks: [],
          value: "about us",
          nodeType: "text"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
  }
  

• HTML hyperlinks without a scheme but with an extension e.g: (<a href="/path/to_file.docx">file</a>), will be converted into ASSET hyperlinks, with the href value as an ID, excluding the extension.

  {
  nodeType: "paragraph",
  data: {},
  content: [
    {
      nodeType: "asset-hyperlink",
      data: {
        target: {
          sys: {
            id: "/path/to_file",
            type: "Link",
            linkType: "Entry"
          }
        }
      },
      content: [
        {
          data: {},
          marks: [],
          value: "file",
          nodeType: "text"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
  }
  

<embed /> AND <img />

If you want to add an embedded entry block, you need to create an <embed> element in HTML with src and type attributes, for ID and entry type. Images will be converted into embedded-asset-blocks by default and the src will be used as an ID.

• Embedded Entry block: <embed src="id_of_your_entry_123" type="entry"/>

  {
    data: {
      target: {
        sys: {
          id: "id_of_your_entry_123",
          type: "Link",
          linkType: "Entry"
        }
      }
    },
    content: [],
    nodeType: "embedded-entry-block"
  }
  

• Embedded Asset block: <embed src="id_of_your_entry_123" type="asset"/> Images: <img src='id_of_your_entry_123' />

  {
    data: {
      target: {
        sys: {
          id: "id_of_your_entry_123",
          type: "Link",
          linkType: "Asset"
        }
      }
    },
    content: [],
    nodeType: "embedded-asset-block"
  }
