This example showcases how to use Next.js with Xata as your data layer.
With this template you get out-of-the-box:
- API Route to connect to your Xata database
- Type-safe Codegen
- Accessibility-Ready
- Dark/Light mode
- Respects
prefers-reduce-motion
for CSS Transitions
Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz
Execute create-next-app
with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-xata with-xata-app
yarn create next-app --example with-xata with-xata-app
pnpm create next-app --example with-xata with-xata-app
💡 We recommend installing the Xata CLI globally, but you can also use
npx @xata.io/cli
instead ofxata
in the commands below.
You can link your project with a Xata workspace by running the following command:
xata init
To update your types, run the following command:
xata codegen
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
💡 the template will prompt you to create a dummy new table (
nextjs_with_xata_example
) with some useful resources.
Some tips that may help you develop your app.
- The Xata VS Code Extension will make managing your data more comfortable
- Prefer fetching data from
getServerSideProps()
orgetStaticProps()
- Create a Serverless Route(s) to handle data mutations
Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
