Full-Stack Next.js Case Studies
1. Introduction
Next.js is a powerful React framework that enables developers to build full-stack applications with ease. This lesson focuses on practical case studies that demonstrate the capabilities and real-world applications of Next.js in full-stack development.
2. Case Studies
2.1 E-Commerce Application
An e-commerce platform built with Next.js can leverage its server-side rendering capabilities for SEO optimization and fast page loads. This case study outlines the architecture and implementation.
// Example of a page in Next.js for listing products
import React from 'react';
import { getProducts } from '../lib/api';
const ProductsPage = ({ products }) => {
return (
Products
{products.map(product => (
- {product.name}
))}
);
};
export async function getServerSideProps() {
const products = await getProducts();
return { props: { products } };
}
export default ProductsPage;
2.2 Blogging Platform
This case study illustrates how to create a blogging platform where users can create, edit, and delete posts. The platform utilizes Next.js for both the frontend and backend.
// Example of a blog post creation form
import React, { useState } from 'react';
const CreatePost = () => {
const [title, setTitle] = useState('');
const [content, setContent] = useState('');
const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
await fetch('/api/posts', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ title, content }),
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});
};
return (
