# Wix CMS: Next.js CMS starter

Next.js template with create-next-app, using Wix Headless for managing content via Wix CMS

# A Wix CMS Next.js Education Template

![Template showcase](https://github.com/wix/wix-cms-nextjs-template/blob/main/docs/media/template-showcase.gif?raw=true)

This template is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app). It uses [Wix Headless](https://dev.wix.com/api/sdk/about-wix-headless/overview) to leverage the Wix CMS business solution for managing the content on an education site.

## Local Development

Prerequisites:

1. [Create a Wix Headless project](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/getting-started/setup/general-setup/create-a-project)
2. [Add the Content Manager app to your project](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/getting-started/setup/general-setup/add-apps-to-a-project)
3. Authorize the template with [quick start deployment](https://manage.wix.com/headless-funnel-nextjs/select-platform?templateName=cms) or by [creating an OAuth app](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/getting-started/setup/authorization/create-an-o-auth-app-for-visitors-and-members)

Set up environment variables to consume Wix Headless APIs:

1. In the template's root folder, create a file for the local environment variables:
    ```sh
    cp .env.template .env.local.
    ```
2. In the new **.env.local** file, paste the OAuth app client ID after `NEXT_PUBLIC_WIX_CLIENT_ID=`.

Run the development server:

1. Run either:

    ```sh
    yarn dev
    ```

    or

    ```sh
    npm i
    npm run dev
    ```

2. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the template home page.

Edit the template:

- Start editing the homepage by modifying **app/page.tsx**. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
- Edit any other page using the pattern **app/page.tsx**. For more information, see [Defining Routes](https://beta.nextjs.org/docs/routing/defining-routes) in the Next.js documentation.

# Deployment

You can deploy this repository using any platform which supports Next.js Version 13 and [App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app).

The repository requires a single environment variable: `NEXT_PUBLIC_WIX_CLIENT_ID`, which should contain a client ID authorizing access to a Wix project's data.

# Learn More

This template is written in [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/docs) 13 using the [Next.js App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app).
