Build a blog for beginners with React in 3 minutes

Strapi will be used in this project. It saves our data in a JSON file and return data with JSON throught API. Strapi is a popular open-source used by a lot of developers in 2021. You don't know how to use? Don't anxious, just follow me.

1. Set up Strapi

Open termial and paste it:

npx create-strapi-starter@latest my-strapi-gatsby gatsby-blog

But but, remember to enter "Quickstart (recommended)" after that 😲

To download, it takes about 1 minute to download. So, you can watch some pornhubs 😂.

2. Look through the blog

There are two tabs will be opened by the broswer after downloaded. The first tab for back-end where create some posts and the second tab for front-end where display your posts.

And Strapi creates some files that consists of two folders like back-end and front-end on Visual Studio Code:

3. Admin's Database on Strapi

After register, we go to Articles and click on Add new Articles to write our post. Remarkable of the post is Category and Author's name on the right of the page.

You can add some photos and the slug will be created by Strapi at the bottom of page.

Go to http://localhost:8000/articles and check on API

Click on Publish.

4. Read our post

Remember to type npm start on front-end folder, you will see your posts there.

5. Deploy

You can deploy our project on any service. I recommend to deploy on Heroku
