LaunchPad - Official Strapi Demo

Welcome aboard LaunchPad, the official Strapi demo application, where we launch your content into the stratosphere at the speed of "we-can't-even-measure-it!". This repository contains the following:

• A Strapi project with content-types and data already onboard
• A Next.js client that's primed and ready to fetch the content from Strapi faster than you can say "blast off!"

🌌 Get started

Strap yourself in! You can get started with this project on your local machine by following the instructions below, or you can request a private instance on our website

🛠 Prerequisites

Before you take off, make sure you have the right env variables loaded for each part (rocket science at its best):

• Strapi (example in ./strapi/.env.example):

  • STRAPI_ADMIN_CLIENT_URL=<url-of-nextjs>
  • STRAPI_ADMIN_CLIENT_PREVIEW_SECRET=<a-random-token>

• Next.js (already in ./next/.env):

  • NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=<url-of-strapi>
  • PREVIEW_SECRET=<the-same-random-token-as-for-strapi>

1. Clone Launchpad

To infinity and beyond! 🚀 Clone the repo with this command:

git clone https://github.com/strapi/launchpad.git

• Navigate to your project folder by running cd launchpad.

2. Start Strapi

Take a deep breath. It's time to power up the Strapi engines. Navigate to your ./my-projects/launchpad/strapi folder by running:

Navigate to your ./my-projects/launchpad/strapi folder by running cd strapi from your command line.

• Run the following command in your ./launchpad/strapi folder:

yarn && yarn seed && yarn develop

This will install dependencies, sprinkle in some data magic, and run the server. (You can run these commands separately, but why not be efficient?)
