I'll create a Next.js project template for a blog website using the App Router. This template will include a basic structure for a blog with a home page, blog post listing, and individual blog post pages. I'll use TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for styling.
Let's start with the main components and pages:
app/layout.tsx
app/page.tsx
app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx
components/Header.tsx
components/Footer.tsx
lib/posts.ts
app/about/page.tsx
This template provides a basic structure for a blog website using Next.js with the App Router. It includes:
To use this template, you'd need to:
getPosts
function in lib/posts.ts
with actual data fetching logic (e.g., from a CMS, database, or API).This template provides a solid foundation for building a blog with Next.js. You can expand on it by adding features like pagination, categories, tags, search functionality, and more as your blog grows.
I'll add some dummy content to showcase the blog posts. We'll modify the getPosts
function in the lib/posts.ts
file to include more posts with longer content. Then, we'll update the home page to display excerpts of these posts.
Let's start by updating the lib/posts.ts
file:
lib/posts.ts
Now, let's update the home page to display excerpts of these posts:
app/page.tsx
These changes will create a more realistic-looking blog with dummy content. The home page now displays a list of blog posts with their titles, dates, and excerpts, along with a "Read more" link for each post.
To complete this update, we should also modify the individual blog post page to properly display the full content of each post:
app/posts/[slug]/page.tsx
With these changes, your blog will now have:
This provides a more complete and realistic template for a blog website using Next.js. You can further customize the styling and layout to match your preferences, and replace the dummy content with real blog posts when you're ready to launch your blog.
