This is a Next.js, Tailwind CSS blogging starter template. Version 2 is based on Next App directory with React Server Component and uses Contentlayer to manage markdown content.

Motivation

I wanted to port my existing blog to Nextjs and Tailwind CSS but there was no easy out of the box template to use so I decided to create one. Design is adapted from Tailwindlabs blog.

I wanted it to be nearly as feature-rich as popular blogging templates like beautiful-jekyll and Hugo Academic but with the best of React's ecosystem and current web development's best practices.

  1. Clone the repo
npx degit 'timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog'

  2. Modify the content security policy in next.config.js if you want to use other analytics provider or a commenting solution other than giscus.
  3. Personalize authors/default.md (main author)
  4. Modify projectsData.ts
  5. Modify headerNavLinks.ts to customize navigation links

  7. Deploy on Vercel

Installation

yarn

Please note, that if you are using Windows, you may need to run:

set PWD="$(pwd)"

Development

First, run the development server:

yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Edit the layout in app or content in data. With live reloading, the pages auto-updates as you edit them.

Extend / Customize

data/siteMetadata.js - contains most of the site related information which should be modified for a user's need.

data/authors/default.md - default author information (required). Additional authors can be added as files in data/authors.

data/projectsData.js - data used to generate styled card on the projects page.

data/headerNavLinks.js - navigation links.

data/logo.svg - replace with your own logo.

data/blog - replace with your own blog posts.

public/static - store assets such as images and favicons.

tailwind.config.js and css/tailwind.css - tailwind configuration and stylesheet which can be modified to change the overall look and feel of the site.

css/prism.css - controls the styles associated with the code blocks. Feel free to customize it and use your preferred prismjs theme e.g. prism themes.

contentlayer.config.ts - configuration for Contentlayer, including definition of content sources and MDX plugins used. See Contentlayer documentation for more information.

components/MDXComponents.js - pass your own JSX code or React component by specifying it over here. You can then use them directly in the .mdx or .md file. By default, a custom link, next/image component, table of contents component and Newsletter form are passed down. Note that the components should be default exported to avoid existing issues with Next.js.

layouts - main templates used in pages:

  • There are currently 3 post layouts available: PostLayout, PostSimple and PostBanner. PostLayout is the default 2 column layout with meta and author information. PostSimple is a simplified version of PostLayout, while PostBanner features a banner image.
  • There are 2 blog listing layouts: ListLayout, the layout used in version 1 of the template with a search bar and ListLayoutWithTags, currently used in version 2, which omits the search bar but includes a sidebar with information on the tags.

app - pages to route to. Read the Next.js documentation for more information.

next.config.js - configuration related to Next.js. You need to adapt the Content Security Policy if you want to load scripts, images etc. from other domains.

Post

Content is modelled using Contentlayer, which allows you to define your own content schema and use it to generate typed content objects. See Contentlayer documentation for more information.

Frontmatter

Deploy

Vercel
The easiest way to deploy the template is to deploy on Vercel. Check out the Next.js deployment documentation for more details.

Netlify Netlify’s Next.js runtime configures enables key Next.js functionality on your website without the need for additional configurations. Netlify generates serverless functions that will handle Next.js functionalities such as server-side rendered (SSR) pages, incremental static regeneration (ISR), next/images, etc.

See Next.js on Netlify for suggested configuration values and more details.

Static hosting services / GitHub Pages / S3 / Firebase etc.

  1. Add output: 'export' in next.config.js. See static exports documentation for more information.

  2. Comment out headers() from next.config.js.

  3. Add unoptimized: true to the images key in next.config.js:

    Alternatively, to continue using next/image, you can use an alternative image optimization provider such as Imgix, Cloudinary or Akamai. See image optimization documentation for more details.

  4. Remove api folder and components which call the server-side function such as the Newsletter component. Not technically required and the site will build successfully, but the APIs cannot be used as they are server-side functions.

  5. Run yarn build. The generated static content is in the out folder.

  6. Deploy the out folder to your hosting service of choice or run npx serve out to view the website locally.

Note: Deploying on Github pages require addition modifications to the base path. Please refer to the FAQ for more information.
