A statically generated blog example using Next.js, Markdown, and TypeScript

This is the existing blog-starter plus TypeScript.

This example showcases Next.js's Static Generation feature using markdown files as the data source.

The blog posts are stored in /_posts as markdown files with front matter support. Adding a new markdown file in there will create a new blog post.

To create the blog posts we use remark and remark-html to convert the markdown files into an HTML string, and then send it down as a prop to the page. The metadata of every post is handled by gray-matter and also sent in props to the page.

How to use

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel:

Deploy with Vercel

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example blog-starter-typescript blog-starter-typescript-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example blog-starter-typescript blog-starter-typescript-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/vercel/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/blog-starter-typescript
cd blog-starter-typescript

Install dependencies and run the example:

npm install
npm run dev

# or

yarn install
yarn dev

Your blog should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Notes

This blog-starter-typescript uses Tailwind CSS. To control the generated stylesheet's filesize, this example uses Tailwind CSS' v1.4 purge option to remove unused CSS.
