In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to create a blog project using Next.js and Postiva. We'll cover setting up the project, installing necessary libraries, and configuring Postiva.
Step 1: Setting Up the Next.js Project
First, create a new Next.js project with Tailwind CSS:
Step 2: Installing the Postiva Client
Step 3: Configuring Postiva
Obtaining Your API Key and Workspace ID
• Workspace ID: Navigate to the settings page of your workspace.
• API Key: Go to the workspace service keys section and generate a new key.
Add these credentials to your .env file:
Step 4: Fetching and Displaying Content
Now, you can use the Postiva client to fetch and display blog content. Create a new page in your pages directory, for example app/page.tsx:
Step 5: Creating a Blog Detail Page with MDX
To create a blog detail page and render MDX content, first, create a new file app/posts/[id]/page.tsx. This file will handle displaying individual blog posts based on their ID.
This will fetch the post details based on the slug from the URL and render them on the page using MDX.
Conclusion
You have now created a basic blog project using Next.js 13 and Postiva. You can expand this by adding more features, styles, and functionality as needed. For more details on type definitions, visit the Postiva API Documentation.
Happy coding!
