A statically generated blog example using Next.js, Markdown, and TypeScript

This is the existing blog-starter plus TypeScript.

This example showcases Next.js's Static Generation feature using Markdown files as the data source.

The blog posts are stored in /_posts as Markdown files with front matter support. Adding a new Markdown file in there will create a new blog post.

To create the blog posts we use remark and remark-html to convert the Markdown files into an HTML string, and then send it down as a prop to the page. The metadata of every post is handled by gray-matter and also sent in props to the page.

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz

How to use

yarn dev

Your blog should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Notes

blog-starter uses Tailwind CSS (v3.0).
