Vercel40

It comes to the point in time when your Vercel project is mature enough, and you would like to get rid of the default xxx. vercel.app domain and use your domain

Deploying a Nextjs project to Vercel is easy, and all you need is a GitHub account for your project code. But you need more control over the deployment

In this how-to, I will show you how to add HTTP basic auth to your next.js 14 App. Basic Auth is a feature Vercel offers, but only for the Pro Plan.

In the next few posts, I will guide you through building a SaaS solution on Azure (Blob Storage, App Services, Azure Functions, Azure AD B2C, etc.).

Let's build a nice-looking upload form with Next.js 14. We will integrate a dropzone and the capability to upload multiple files simultaneously with a fancy upload progress bar.

In this story, I will show you how to use Contentful Environments and Aliases in your Nextjs 14 project. Environments are a great way to change your project's data structure.

Now we will add the UserAgent, Pathname, Mobile, Platform, Region, and City. All data will be saved to a Neon.tech Postgres DB via Prisma ORM, as in the story before.

I will show you how you can build a custom hook for page tracking and integrate it into your existing Next.js 14 project with ease. The data will be saved into a Neon.tech Postgres DB

React introduced the useMemo and useCallback hooks in React 16.8, which was released on February 6, 2019. So, as of August 2024, these hooks are five years and 6 months old.

We will walk through the process of a complete data re-sync between Contentful and Algolia with two Custom API Routes in Nextjs 14, and we will extend the Algolia Data Model.

Now, we will examine the last two widgets (“HighLight” and “Snippet”), which we did not use in our previous post, where the focus was on SearchBox, Hits, and RefinementList.

In this follow-up story, I will show you how to easily integrate the Algolia Instant search into your existing Next.js 14 project. We will also use custom styling with TailwindCss.

In this post, we will proceed with our analytics dashboard. We will add new styling with TailwindCss and new Widgets to our Dashboard, which we created in our existing Nextjs 14 project.

We introduce the platform Tinybird and integrate the provided Javascript Snippet for the data collection. Then, we integrate the Analytic Dashboard into our existing Nextjs 14 project.

In the previous story, we created the components for the flyout menu and did the basic integration. Now, we will connect the menu with our headless CMS Contentful.

Building a flyout menu with Tailwind CSS is advantageous due to its utility-first approach. This approach offers flexibility and speeds up development by using pre-defined classes

I will reuse the component I created in the previous story combined with the headless CMS Contentful. So I can create my Content within Contentful and use Next.js 14 for the visualization

You can use different approaches to integrate code blocks on your blog or website (TailwindCSS, etc.). I came across a modern approach to syntax highlighting and discovered Shiki

Due to its serverless architecture, Upstash Kafka is an ideal solution for website analytics. It offers high throughput and low latency, crucial for real-time data processing.

Ensuring system availability is crucial for any product. Implementing rate limiting effectively addresses these issues and can be integrated seamlessly.

Integrating social share buttons on your blog post can significantly increase reach and visibility by making it easy for readers to share, boosting traffic and providing social proof

We know, Google Crawler is not a big fan of infinite scrolling because it can't use Javascript. Therefore, we need to add a crawler-friendly solution to find and index all pages properly.

A slugify function is valuable for creating clean, readable, and SEO-friendly URLs that enhance user experience. To round up the service offering, we add a Word/Character count as well

A broken link checker is crucial for maintaining website health and user experience. It helps identify and fix dead links, which can frustrate users and negatively impact SEO rankings.

An up-to-date sitemap.xml builds the foundation for the Google Crawler. We will create a count function to check the sitemap.xml. This will help us to check if all pages are present.

An HTML sitemap lists and links to all pages on a website, providing an organized overview of its structure. Search engines benefit from HTML sitemaps as they ensure all pages are discovered

I'm using Next.js 14 with the new app router, but instead of storing the page views in a relational database like PostgreSQL, I'll be using Upstash Redis so add this nice feature

As your blog grows, you may need a function like "Load more" or "Infinite scroll." I will focus on that and show how easy it is with Next.js 14, Server Actions, and Contentful as CMS.

We will focus on possible Identity providers for our Azure B2C Tenant because we would like to remove every obstacle for our users during the login process. Let's start with the main ones.

After integrating it into our Next.js 14 project, we will style the signup and sign-in page provided by Azure AD B2C to look nicer.

We will focus on integrating this tenant into a full-fledged Next.js 14 project. As a template, we will take the example that we created in the previous stories

Contentful offers a great tagging system. I will show you how we can use it to cluster content by tags and expose new " tag pages," with the related content

Structuring your content is great for your users and Search Engines, but sometimes, it leads to much work for the Authors/Editors, so let's automate it.

Every Blog needs a nice-looking landing page. This step-by-step guide will add two new content types in Contentful and show the newly added data on our Next.js 14 blog project.

Every Blog needs a lightning-fast search and content filtering. Let’s use one of the best services in the market and combine it with a nice-looking Tag Cloud delivered in Milliseconds.

You plan to start a new business where you need to present your new products to a broader audience on a marketing website. Here you will find a complete guide.

In Part 5, we will add multilanguage support and a language switcher to our example Blog powered by Contentful and the GraphQL API. (Client/Server Components)

In Part 4 we are going to add a custom 404 page, a loading UI (SVG Spinner) and we add some extra colors to our tailwind.config.ts

Now we have reached part 3 and we will add a header and a footer component, as well as the so-called draft/preview functionality offered by Contentful. Not to forget the nowadays mandatory dark mode toggle.

Let’s create a completely new website powered with next.js 14, Contentful, and Typescript
