# A statically generated blog example using Next.js and GraphCMS

|
|
|
This example showcases Next.js's [Static Generation](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages) feature using [GraphCMS](https://www.graphcms.com/) as the data source.
|
|
|
|
## Demo

## Deploy your own
|
|
|
|
Once you have access to [the environment variables you'll need](#step-3-set-up-environment-variables), deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example):
|
|
|
|
[](https://vercel.com/new/git/external?repository-url=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/cms-graphcms&project-name=cms-graphcms&repository-name=cms-graphcms&env=GRAPHCMS_PROJECT_API,GRAPHCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN,GRAPHCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN,GRAPHCMS_PREVIEW_SECRET&envDescription=Required%20to%20connect%20the%20app%20with%20GraphCMS&envLink=https://vercel.link/cms-graphcms-env)
|
|
|
|
## 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-graphcms cms-graphcms-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn create next-app --example cms-graphcms cms-graphcms-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm create next-app --example cms-graphcms cms-graphcms-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Step 1. Create an account and a project in GraphCMS
|
|
|
|
First, [create an account in GraphCMS](https://app.graphcms.com).
|
|
|
|
### Step 2. Create a new GraphCMS project
|
|
|
|
After creating an account, create a new project from the **Blog Starter template** - be sure to include the example content.
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inside your project dashboard, navigate to **Settings > API Access page**.
|
|
|
|
Then set each variable in `.env.local`:
|
|
|
|
- `GRAPHCMS_PROJECT_API`: Set it to the API endpoint under **Endpoints**, at the top of the page.
|
|
- `GRAPHCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN`: Copy the `NEXT_EXAMPLE_CMS_GCMS_PROD_AUTH_TOKEN` token under **Existing tokens**, at the bottom of the page. This will only query content that is published.
|
|
- `GRAPHCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN`: Copy the `NEXT_EXAMPLE_CMS_GCMS_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN` token under **Existing tokens**, at the bottom of the page. This will only query content that is in draft.
|
|
- `GRAPHCMS_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).
|
|
|
|
### Step 4. 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, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions).
|
|
|
|
### Step 5. Try preview mode
|
|
|
|
In GraphCMS, go to one of the posts in your project and:
|
|
|
|
- **Update the title**. For example, you can add `[Draft]` in front of the title.
|
|
- After you edit the document save the article as a draft, but **DO NOT** click **Publish**. By doing this, the post will be in the draft stage.
|
|
|
|
Now, if you go to the post page on localhost, you won't see the updated title. However, if you use **Preview Mode**, you'll be able to see the change ([Documentation](/docs/advanced-features/preview-mode.md)).
|
|
|
|
To view the preview, transform the url to the following format: `http://localhost:3000/api/preview?secret=<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>&slug=<SLUG_TO_PREVIEW>` where `<YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN>` is the same secret you defined in the `.env.local` file and `<SLUG_TO_PREVIEW>` is the slug of one of the posts you want to preview.
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to see the updated title. To exit the preview mode, you can click on _"Click here to exit preview mode"_ at the top.
|
|
|
|
### Step 6. 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.
