Quick Start

With The Headless Content Starter Kit you will be creating websites in just a few minutes. Let's start by cloning the project, configuring, starting the Strapi backend, Next.js frontend and create our very first page.

Setup Strapi backend

git clone https://github.com/DerMambo/headless-content-starter-kit.git YOUR_PROJECT_NAME cd YOUR_PROJECT_NAME git remote remove origin cd headless-strapi npm install npm run init npm run dev

Next visit the Strapi admin and create your admin user

↗️ Open Strapi Admin

Then create your first page under "Content Manager" -> "Page" -> "+ Create new entry".

Make it our homepage by setting the path to "/".

Also add a "hero" component and set the title to "Hello World".

Then publish the page by clicking the "Publish" button.

Start Next.js Frontend

cd headless-nextjs npm install npm run init

After the basic setup we need to create the API key to access the Strapi backend from the frontend.

In Strapi go to Settings -> API Tokens -> + Add new API Token

Give it a name (e.g. frontend), make the duration "Unlimited" and of type "Read-only".

Copy the token and add this to the .env file as your STRAPI_API_TOKEN

Once this is setup you can start the frontend.

npm run dev

And then open the homepage of your new project:

↗️ Go To Homepage
