🚀 LearnStrapi Boilerplate

Full stack boilerplate for Strapi + Next.js + Chakra UI projects

Features:

• A monorepo to run Strapi and your Next.js client from a single command yarn dev (uses lerna under the hood)
• Options to run just the frontend - once you've deployed your project and setup the CMS_URL_PRODUCTION in the client package
• A basic Next.js app with Chakra UI ready to customise with your own branding (also includes some basic components and Strapi authentication)

Recommendations

We recommend using a submodule for the packages/cms package so you can freely deploy this on Heroku, Digital Ocean, AWS or anywhere you can host a node server.
