Summary

The Developer Experience team at Netlify has been working on building demos to showcase how to integrate Contentful with different frontend frameworks, including Solid. The main goal of this project was to build a demo site with a couple of pages, fetch menu data for a restaurant, display the menu data, and fetch data about the restaurant's details. The team used a Netlify Build Plugin to share a common data layer through Contentful. The integration with SolidJS was relatively smooth, with similar syntax to React.js, and utilized primitive createSignal instead of useState. The demo site is available for testing, and the GitHub repository can be deployed directly to Netlify.
