chore: replace deprecated String.prototype.substr() (#6333)
* chore: replace deprecated String.prototype.substr()

.substr() is deprecated so we replace it with .slice() which works similarily but isn't deprecated

* refactor: add prefer slice lint rule and fix errors

Netlify CMS Proxy Server

Netlify CMS Proxy Server is an express server created to facilitate local development.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to a local Git repository configured with the CMS.
  2. Run npx netlify-cms-proxy-server from the root directory of the above repository.
  3. Update your config.yml to connect to the server:
backend:
  name: proxy
  proxy_url: http://localhost:8081/api/v1
  branch: master # optional, defaults to master
  1. Start you local development server (e.g. run gatsby develop).

Custom Configuration

  1. Create a .env file in the root directory of your local Git repository.
  2. Update the file as follows:
# optional, defaults to current directory
GIT_REPO_DIRECTORY=FULL_PATH_TO_LOCAL_GIT_REPO
# optional, defaults to 8081
PORT=CUSTOM_PORT
