Build A Blog From Markdown Files In Next.js
In this video, you will learn how to create a blog in Next.js, where content is generated through markdown files. This means that with some preliminary Next.js work, which we will spend a good deal of time focusing on; we will be able to create a new markdown file that contains the content and images that we want our new blog post to have, and then just from the creation of this markdown file, a new blog post will be listed on the homepage of our website and clicking on it will lead us to a page where we can read that specific blog post in full.
To create a project like this, we will first need to find a way to read and parse markdown files, because Next.js does not give us a way of doing this out of the box. After, we will need to set up dynamic routing so that a unique URL is automatically generated for each new blog post. So that, all we need to do on our end, is create a single blog page component that is set-up to render out a blog from the data stored in a given markdown file. And with this, we will set all of our dynamic URL’s to go to this page component, which is configured to extract the unique part of the dynamic URL, the query parameter, and use this information to render out a specific markdown file that corresponds to the blog-post that the user just clicked on.
