ℹ️ This project is used as a starting point for a getting started tutorial using Next.js as the framework and Contentful as the content source. If you would like to create a new project with Contentful as the content source, use the Contentful starter.
Before you begin, please make sure you have the following:
- Contentful account
- Node v14 or later
The following sections take you through the process of getting this project set up and wired up to Contentful so you can begin the tutorial.
Use the create-stackbit-app command to create a new project:
npx create-stackbit-app@latest --example tutorial-nextjs-contentful
This will create a new instance of this project in a tutorial-nextjs-contentful directory.
After signing into Contentful, create a new space. Note that if you already have an active Contentful account, you may want to create an organization to place your new space.
After creating the Contentful space, copy .env.example to .env and fill in the appropriate values.
CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID="..."
CONTENTFUL_PREVIEW_TOKEN="..."
CONTENTFUL_DELIVERY_TOKEN="..."
CONTENTFUL_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN="..."Your new project already contains the content for the tutorial. You can import this into Contentful by running the setup command.
npx cross-env npm run setup
Now you should be able to run the Next.js development server and see your content.
npm run dev
Visit localhost:3000 and you should see the example content you imported into your new Contentful space. Now you can continue with the tutorial!
