| # A statically generated blog example using Next.js and Builder.io | |
| This example showcases Next.js's [Static Generation](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages) feature using [Builder.io](https://builder.io/) as the data source. | |
| ## Demo | |
| [https://cms-builder-io.vercel.app/](https://cms-builder-io.vercel.app/) | |
| ## How to use | |
| Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example: | |
| ```bash | |
| npx create-next-app --example cms-builder-io cms-builder-io-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| yarn create next-app --example cms-builder-io cms-builder-io-app | |
| ``` | |
| ```bash | |
| pnpm create next-app --example cms-builder-io cms-builder-io-app | |
| ``` | |
| ## Configuration | |
| ### Step 1 Install the Builder.io cli | |
| ``` | |
| npm install @builder.io/cli -g | |
| ``` | |
| ### Step 2 Generate a space | |
| [Signup for Builder.io](https://builder.io/signup), then go to your [organization settings page](https://builder.io/account/organization?root=true), create a private key and copy it and supply it for `[private-key]` below. For `[space-name]` create a name for your space, such as "Blog" | |
| ``` | |
| cd cms-builder-io-app | |
| builder create -k [private-key] -n [space-name] -d | |
| ``` | |
| This command when done it'll print your new space's public api key, copy it and add as the value for `NEXT_PUBLIC_BUILDER_API_KEY` into the .env files (`.env.production` and `.env.development`) | |
| ``` | |
| BUILDER_PUBLIC_KEY=... | |
| ``` | |
| ### Step 3 Run Next.js in development mode | |
| ```bash | |
| npm install | |
| npm run dev | |
| # or | |
| yarn install | |
| yarn dev | |
| ``` | |
| Your blog should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, you can post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions). | |
| ### Step 4 Try preview mode | |
| To try preview mode at any time while editing in Builder.io press `view current draft`, if you changed the secret defined in [constants.js](./lib/constants.js) you'll need to also change it in your `Post` [model settings](https://builder.io/models). | |
| To exit the preview mode, you can click **Click here to exit preview mode** at the top. | |
| ### Step 5 Deploy on Vercel | |
| You can deploy this app to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)). | |
| #### Deploy Your Local Project | |
| To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and [import to Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example). | |
| **Important**: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on **Environment Variables** and set them to match your `.env.local` file. | |
| #### Deploy from Our Template | |
| Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below. | |
