## 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-kontent-ai cms-kontent-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

yarn create next-app --example cms-kontent-ai cms-kontent-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm create next-app --example cms-kontent-ai cms-kontent-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### **1. Create an account on Kontent.ai**
|
|
|
|
First, [create an account on Kontent.ai](https://app.kontent.ai/sign-up?utm_source=nextjs_docs_example&utm_medium=devrel&utm_campaign=extended_trial).
|
|
|
|
> The link above will provide you with the 30-days trial. Once you finish the trial, or even during the trial period, you can switch to the [**developer plan**](https://kontent.ai/developer-plan) which is **free of charge** and offers all the features you'll need to test out the example capabilities.
|
|
|
|
After signing up, [create an empty project](https://docs.kontent.ai/tutorials/set-up-kontent/projects/manage-projects#a-creating-projects).
|
|
|
|
### **2. Create the content models and fill them with data**
|
|
|
|
The [content model](https://docs.kontent.ai/tutorials/set-up-kontent/content-modeling/what-is-content-modeling) defines the data structures of your application/websites. The structures are flexible and you can tailor them to your needs.
|
|
|
|
For this example, you need to create a content model that defines an `author` and a `post` content type. **You can import these automatically or by doing it manually** to familiarize yourself with the Kontent.ai user interface.
|
|
|
|
To import the content models with their data follow the next steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter [Kontent.ai application](https://app.kontent.ai)
|
|
1. Go to "Project Settings" and select API keys
|
|
1. Activate Management API
|
|
1. Copy `Project ID` and `Management API` key
|
|
1. Install [Kontent.ai Backup Manager](https://github.com/kontent-ai/backup-manager) and import data to the newly created project from kontent-ai-backup.zip file (don't forget to place appropriate values for apiKey and projectId arguments):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm i -g @kontent-ai/backup-manager
|
|
kbm --action=restore --apiKey=<Management API key> --projectId=<Project ID> --zipFilename=kontent-ai-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your Kontent.ai project and publish all the imported items.
|
|
> Note: You can deactivate the Management API key, as it is not necessary anymore.
|
|
|
|
#### **2.1. (Optional) Create the content models manually**
|
|
|
|
You can ignore this step if you already imported the content models in Step 2.
|
|
|
|
#### Create an `Author` content type
|
|
|
|
In your Kontent.ai project, go to the **Content models** and add a new `Content type`:
|
|
|
|
> you don't have to modify the element configuration unless specified
|
|
|
|
- Content type name: `Author`
|
|
- Add the following content elements
|
|
- `Name` - **Text** element
|
|
- `Picture` - **Asset** element - configure to allow to select `At most 1` asset and `Limit file types` only to `Adjustable images`
|
|
|
|
Save the content type.
|
|
|
|
The content type should look like this:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### Create a `Post` content type
|
|
|
|
In your Kontent.ai project, go to **Content models** and add a new content type:
|
|
|
|
> you don't have to modify the element configuration unless specified
|
|
|
|
- Content type name: `Post`
|
|
- Add the following content elements
|
|
- `Title` - **Text** element
|
|
- `Date` - **Date & time** element
|
|
- `Excerpt` - **Text** element
|
|
- `Content` - **Rich Text** element
|
|
- `Cover Image` - **Asset Text** element - configure to allow to select `At most 1` asset and `Limit file types` only to `Adjustable images` - `Content` - `Slug` - **URL slug** element - auto-generated from `Title` element
|
|
- `Author` - **Linked items** element - configure to accept `Exactly 1` item of type `Author`
|
|
|
|
Save the content type.
|
|
|
|
The content type should look like this:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### Fill content models with data
|
|
|
|
Go to `Content & Assets` section in your project and click `Create new` on the `Content` tab and select `Author` content type.
|
|
|
|
- You just need **1 author item** first.
|
|
- Use dummy data for his name.
|
|
- For the image, you can download one from [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/).
|
|
|
|
Next, create another item based on **Post** content type:
|
|
|
|
- It's recommended to create at least **2 post items**.
|
|
- Use dummy data for the text.
|
|
- For images, you can download them from [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/).
|
|
- Pick the **author** you created earlier.
|
|
|
|
**Important:** For each item, you need to click on **Publish**. If not, the entry will be in the draft workflow step.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### **3. Set up environment variables**
|
|
|
|
Copy the `.env.local.example` file in this directory to `.env.local` (which will be ignored by Git):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.local.example .env.local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set each variable on `.env.local` using the keys `Project settings` > `API keys`:
|
|
|
|
- `KONTENT_PROJECT_ID` - Should be the Project ID in `Project settings` > `API keys`.
|
|
- `KONTENT_PREVIEW_API_KEY` - One of the Preview API keys in `Project settings` > `API keys`.
|
|
- `KONTENT_PREVIEW_SECRET` - Can be any random string (but avoid spaces), like `MY_SECRET` - this is used for [Preview Mode](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/preview-mode).
|
|
|
|
### **4. Run Next.js in development mode**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
|
|
# or
|
|
|
|
yarn
|
|
yarn dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your blog should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions).
|
|
|
|
### **5. Try preview mode**
|
|
|
|
In your Kontent.ai project, go to **Project Settings > Preview URLs** and set a new preview URL for the `Post` content type to:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
http://localhost:3000/api/preview?secret=<KONTENT_PREVIEW_SECRET>&slug={URLslug}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<KONTENT_PREVIEW_SECRET>` with its respective value in `.env.local`:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Once saved, go to one of the posts you've created and:
|
|
|
|
- Create a new version of the post
|
|
- **Update the title**. For example, you can add `[Draft]` in front of the title.
|
|
> Mind the title also regenerates the URL slug, if you want to change any other field that does not influence the URL slug, feel free to do so.
|
|
- **Do not** publish it. By not publishing it, the post will be in the draft workflow step.
|
|
- On the menu, you will see the **Preview** button. Click on it!
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
You will now be able to see the updated title. To exit preview mode, you can click on **Click here to exit preview mode** at the top of the page.
|
|
|
|

|
|
