Summary

This post explains how to render linked assets and entries inside the Contentful Rich Text field on the front end, focusing on a JavaScript ecosystem but applicable to other tech stacks as well. It covers how Contentful returns items and their linked entries and assets, resolving links manually or with the JavaScript SDK, which uses the contentful-resolve-response package to convert flat nodes into a rich tree of data. The post also discusses rendering HTML for each node using Rich Text field renderers like `@contentful/rich-text-react-renderer` and how to handle linked entries when using the GraphQL API, requiring manual mapping of linked assets and entries in the renderOptions.
