React + Next.js + Cosmic

This blog uses Next.js to create a React blog. It uses Next.js 13 and the new app organization structure which takes advantage of React Server Components. It connects to the Cosmic API via the Cosmic JavaScript SDK.

Getting Started

1. Log in to Cosmic and install the Simple Next.js Blog template.
2. Run the following commands to install the code locally.

git clone https://github.com/cosmicjs/simple-nextjs-blog
cd simple-nextjs-blog

Environment Variables

1. Create an .env.local file to gain API access to your Cosmic Bucket. To do this, run:

cp .env.example .env.local

2. Find your API access keys at Bucket Settings > API Access after logging into your Cosmic dashboard and add them to the .env.local file. It should look something like this:

NEXT_PUBLIC_COSMIC_BUCKET_SLUG=your-bucket-slug
NEXT_PUBLIC_COSMIC_READ_KEY=your-bucket-read-key
