Integrating Builder.io with Next.js for Blog website.

Hello everyone. How are you ?
Recently, I learned about builder.io and this was made I am very exciting.
So I am going to share about builder.io with example(blog website).

Here’s a more detailed example of how you can integrate Builder.io with Next.js to create a blog:

1. Create a new Next.js project:

npx create-next-app my-blog

2. Install the necessary packages:

cd my-blog
npm install --save @builder.io/react next-transpile-modules

3. Create a new page for your blog posts. In this example. we’ll call it pages/blog/[slug.js] :

import React from 'react';
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
import { BuilderComponent } from '@builder.io/react';

const BlogPostPage = () => {
  const router = useRouter();
  const { slug } = router.query;

  return (
    <BuilderComponent
      modelName="blog-post"
      entry={slug}
      apiKey="my-api-key"
    />
  );
};

export default BlogPostPage;

In this example, we’re using Next.js dynamic routes to create a page for each blog post. We’re also passing the slug value as the entry for the blog-post model in Builder.io.

4. Create a new Builder.io model for your blog posts:

• Go to the Dashboard and Create a new model
• Set the model name to blog-post
• Add fields for the title, content., and any other metadata you want to include(e.g. author, date)
• Save the model

5. Create a new page for your blog index. In this example, we’ll call it pages/blog/index.js

import React from 'react';
import { BuilderComponent } from '@builder.io/react';

const BlogIndexPage = () => {
  return (
    <BuilderComponent
      modelName="blog-index"
      apiKey="my-api-key"
    />
  );
};

export default BlogIndexPage;

In this example, we’re using a separate Builder.io model (blog-index ) to create a custom index page for our blog.

6. Create a new Builder.io model for your blog index:

• Go to the Builder.io dashboard and Create a new model
• Set the model name to blog-index
• Add fields for the title, content, and any other metadata you want to include (e.g. featured posts, categories).
• Save the model

7. Update your next.config.js file to include the Builder.io webpack configuration:

const withPlugins = require('next-compose-plugins');
const withTM = require('next-transpile-modules')(['@builder.io/react']);

module.exports = withPlugins([withTM], {
  webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
    if (!isServer) {
      config.node = {
        fs: 'empty',
        module: 'empty'
      };
    }

    return config;
  }
});

8. Update your Builder.io models with your blog content:

• Go the Builder.io dashboard and create new entries for your blog-post and blog-index models.
• Add your blog posts to the blog-post model, including the title, content, and metadata.
• Add your blog index content to the blog-index model, including the title, featured posts, and any other metadata.

9. Run your Next.js development server:

npm run dev

10. Navigate to your blog index page at http://localhost:3000/blog to see your Builder.io-powered blog in action !

Conclusion

And that’s it! With these steps, you should now have a fully-functional blog powered by Builder.io and Next.js. You can customize your blog’s appearance and functionality by editing your Builder.io models and components.

Thank you
