Welcome! In this course, we will start by integrating a meticulously crafted application layout. We will adhere to the latest practices in React and Next.js, leveraging hook functions to the fullest extent. Once the initial layout and pages are set up, we'll proceed to prepare actual data within Sanity Studio. I'll guide you through the fundamentals of Sanity, and together we will create two document types: Blogs and Authors.
Course Outline
Data Structuring and Fetching
We will define various fields to describe our data, such as "Code Blocks," "Images," and more. After successfully fetching this data, we will be ready to display blogs on our application pages. You'll learn to process images and apply stylings to code blocks effectively.
Enhancing User Interaction
As the course progresses, you'll learn to apply different filtering options to the application's user interface, paginate items, and manage data sorting. Additionally, we'll explore the provider and consumer concept to manage the application's light and dark themes.
Preview Feature
We'll discuss the Preview feature, which allows for displaying draft blog data before its production release. This ensures you can review content before publishing.
Deployment
At the finish line, we'll deploy our application to the Vercel platform. Our application will be statically optimized for rapid performance.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to having you in the course.
Understanding Sanity
What is Sanity? Sanity is a platform designed for structured content management. It allows you to handle text, images, and other media through APIs. The platform features Sanity Studio, an open-source single-page application that quickly sets up a customizable editing environment. Sanity offers a suite of APIs, libraries, and tools to centralize your content as a single source of truth. This section will walk you through key concepts, providing a quick head start.
Introduction to Next.js
What is Next.js? Next.js is a robust React framework that delivers infrastructure and a simplified development experience for server-side rendered (SSR) applications. Its features include:
- An intuitive page-based routing system, with dynamic route support.
- Support for pre-rendering through both static generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR) on a per-page basis.
