Statiq boilerplate for Kontent

Boilerplate utilizing Statiq and Kentico Kontent to provide a starting point in the Jamstack world for .NET developers.

Get started

Requirements

• .NET 5

Clone the codebase

1. Click the "Use this template" button to create your own repository from this template.

Running locally

dotnet run -- preview

🎊🎉 Visit http://localhost:5080 and start exploring the code base!

By default, the content is loaded from a shared Kentico Kontent project. If you want to use your own clone of the project so that you can customize it and experiment with Kontent, continue to the next section.

Create a content source

1. Go to app.kontent.ai and create an empty project

2. Go to the "Project Settings", select API keys and copy the following keys for further reference

   • Project ID
   • Management API key

3. Use the Template Manager UI for importing the content from kontent-backup.zip file and API keys from previous step. Check Publish language variants after import option before import.

   Alternatively, you can use the Kontent Backup Manager and import data to the newly created project from content.zip file via command line:

    npm i -g @kentico/kontent-backup-manager
   
    kbm --action=restore --projectId=<Project ID> --apiKey=<Management API key> --zipFilename=content

   Go to your Kontent project and publish all the imported items.

4. Map the codebase to the data source

   • adjust the ProjectId property in appsettings.json with your project ID.

🚀 You are now ready to use the site with your own Kentico Kontent project as data source on http://localhost:5080! 🚀

Features

• Kontent Model Generator for generating strongly-typed models from Kontent model.
