This is a basic starter project for a blog powered by a Slicknode backend and NextJS for the frontend.
You have to have an active Slicknode account and the Slicknode CLI needs to be installed on your computer:
npm install -g slicknode@latest
To deploy the backend to your Slicknode account, navigate to the server folder and run the following
commands:
cd ./server
# Pull the dependencies
slicknode pull
# Deploy the project to the cloud
slicknode deploy
After a few moments, the GraphQL endpoint will be ready. To get the endpoint, run this in the server
directory:
slicknode endpoint
This will be needed for the client setup.
To start the client, navigate to the client folder and install the dependencies:
cd ./client
yarn
Open the file client/config.js and set your Slicknode endpoint.
To start the server in dev mode with hot reload, automatic build etc:
yarn start
To create a production build and start the server in prod mode:
yarn build
yarn start
For more customization and options, checkout the official NextJS documentation
This is just an example to illustrate how NextJS can be connected to a Slicknode backend and not meant for production usage. To make this production ready, you would probably implement a custom mutation with a registration flow and remove the permissions for anonymous users to be able to create new users etc.
