Contentful with Next Js

Next.js is a React framework for building server-rendered applications, offering features like routing and API routes. It simplifies development by providing pre-built tools and functions, unlike a simple library. Next.js actions, especially within the App Router, facilitate server-side operations with client-side integration. These actions handle side effects like form submissions and API data fetching. Contentful is a headless CMS for managing and delivering content via an API. Integrating Contentful with Next.js involves using the Contentful API to fetch and display content dynamically. The integration allows for flexible content management and responsive interface creation. Setting up involves creating a Contentful account, space, and content models. Fetching data in Next.js utilizes `getStaticProps` or `getServerSideProps` to retrieve content from Contentful. The example demonstrates fetching and displaying articles from Contentful on a Next.js page. This combination enables efficient development of robust, content-driven applications.
