How to Implement a Scalable CMS with Slices
Blog post from Prismic
The guide provides a step-by-step process for enhancing a Next.js app by integrating a scalable content management system (CMS) using Prismic, focusing on creating reusable components called Slices. It builds upon a previous guide by demonstrating how to set up a new Next.js project, log into Prismic, and create a Prismic content repository. The guide emphasizes the advantages of modular Slices, which allow content writers to independently create and update content without needing constant developer involvement, thereby reducing development time and enabling efficient website management. It details creating two Slices, "Text" and "LinkCards," and explains how to add them to a Custom Type, connect them to the app, and render them using React components. The guide also outlines enabling content writers to create new pages using a dynamic routing feature in Next.js, allowing for scalable content management. By following these instructions, the app becomes more scalable and manageable, freeing developers to focus on new features and optimizations.
