Hello Next JS

Check out this page to see all the cool new features of Next while building a dashboard. We based this project on that tutorial. This way, you can see the the benefits of using a headless CMS like Strapi with Next JS.

How To Get Started With The Project

  1. Clone the repository locally:
  1. Run setup command to setup frontend and backend dependencies:
  yarn setup
  1. Next, navigate to your /frontend directory and set up your .env file. You can use the .env.example file as reference:
  STRAPI_URL=http://localhost:1337
  1. Next, navigate to your /backend directory and set up your .env file. You can use the .env.example file as reference:
HOST=localhost
PORT=1337
APP_KEYS="toBeModified1,toBeModified2"
API_TOKEN_SALT=tobemodified
ADMIN_JWT_SECRET=tobemodified
JWT_SECRET=tobemodified
TRANSFER_TOKEN_SALT=tobemodified
  1. Next, navigate to your /backend and start your project by running the following command:
  yarn build
  yarn develop

You will be prompted to create your first admin user.

admin-user

Great. You now have your Strap project running. Let's add some data.

Seeding The Data

We are going to use our DEITS feature which will alow to easily import data into your project.

You can learn more about it in our documentation here.

In the root of our project we have our seed-data.tar.gz file. We will use it to seed our data.

  1. Open up your terminal and make sure you are still in you root of your project folder.

  2. Run the following command to seed your data:

  yarn seed

after-import

This will import your data locally.

Log back into your admin panel to see the newly imported data.

Starting Both Projects

You can start each project individually, by running the following commands.

In your terminal, change directory to backend and run yarn develop, then in a new terminal window, change directory to frontend and run yarn dev.

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 and should see the following screen. You can find your Strapi app running on http://localhost:1337.

You can also run both projects using *concurrently to start both projects by running yarn dev in the root of your project.

You can checkout the scripts inside the package.json file in the root of your project.

{
  "scripts": {
    "frontend": "yarn dev --prefix ../frontend/",
    "backend": "yarn dev --prefix ../backend/",
    "clear": "cd frontend && rm -rf .next && rm -rf cache",
    "setup:frontend": "cd frontend && yarn",
    "setup:backend": "cd backend && yarn",
    "setup": "yarn install && yarn setup:frontend && yarn setup:backend",
    "dev": "yarn clear && concurrently \"cd frontend && yarn dev\" \"cd backend && yarn develop\"",
    "seed": "cd backend && yarn strapi import -f ../seed-data.tar.gz",
    "export": "cd backend && yarn strapi export --no-encrypt -f ../seed-data",
    "repo:upstream": "git fetch upstream && git merge upstream/main"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "concurrently": "^8.2.2"
  }
}

Starting Both Projects

You can start each project individually by running the following commands.

In your terminal, change the directory to backend and run yarn develop, then, in a new terminal window, change the directory to frontend and run yarn dev.

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 and should see the following screen. You can find your Strapi app running on http://localhost:1337.

You can also run both projects using *concurrently to start both projects by running yarn dev at the root of your project.

You can check out the scripts inside the package.json file at the root of your project.

{
  "scripts": {
    "frontend": "yarn dev --prefix ../frontend/",
    "backend": "yarn dev --prefix ../backend/",
    "clear": "cd frontend && rm -rf .next && rm -rf cache",
    "setup:frontend": "cd frontend && yarn",
    "setup:backend": "cd backend && yarn",
    "setup": "yarn install && yarn setup:frontend && yarn setup:backend",
    "dev": "yarn clear && concurrently \"cd frontend && yarn dev\" \"cd backend && yarn develop\"",
    "seed": "cd backend && yarn strapi import -f ../seed-data.tar.gz",
    "export": "cd backend && yarn strapi export --no-encrypt -f ../seed-data",
    "repo:upstream": "git fetch upstream && git merge upstream/main"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "concurrently": "^8.2.2"
  }
}
