Bynder Asset Integration

Use Bynder to manage, transform, and deliver assets.

Note: Bynder integration requires a Netlify Create paid plan. However, it can be evaluated in local development mode.

Configuration

To enable Bynder integration, add it as an asset source in your Netlify Create configuration file.

import { defineStackbitConfig } from '@stackbit/types'

export default defineStackbitConfig({
  stackbitVersion: '~0.6.0',
  contentSources: [
    // ...
  ],
  assetSources: [{ type: 'bynder' }],
})

See below for details on authentication, along with further usage instruction.

Authentication

The first time each user attempts to access Bynder in the asset selection modal, they will be prompted to add the URL of your Bynder domain portal.

Every editor will have to go through this process, which will authenticate the user to be able to upload and use Bynder images.

Disconnecting

To disconnect Bynder for an individual user, sign out of Bynder. To disconnect an entire site from using Bynder, remove the appropriate entry in the assetSources property within the Netlify Create configuration file.

Usage

When using Bynder as an asset source, you'll see your Bynder assets appear within the asset selection modal for the appropriate field types.

const MyModel = {

  fields: [
    {
      name: 'image',
      type: 'image',
      source: 'bynder',
    },
  ],
}

Git CMS

With Git CMS, as long as assetsConfig is specified, Netlify Create will show Bynder in addition to Netlify Create (local) images.

Use the source property (shown above) to show only the Bynder asset selection modal for a particular image field.
