Summary

The article provides a comprehensive guide on building a simple to-do application using Strapi, Next.js, and GraphQL. Strapi is highlighted as an advanced open-source Node.js Headless Content Management System designed to efficiently create scalable, secure APIs with features like an Admin Panel and Authentication management. Next.js, a React framework, facilitates server-rendered applications by managing tasks such as code splitting and server-side rendering. GraphQL enables the front end to query APIs efficiently, fetching only the necessary data. The tutorial walks through setting up Strapi to manage CRUD operations on a to-do list, including creating and configuring content types and permissions. It then explains how to integrate Strapi's RESTful and GraphQL endpoints with the front end using Apollo Client in a Next.js application, detailing the creation of components and containers for managing todos. The article concludes by discussing the GraphQL queries and mutations necessary for managing to-dos, including adding, updating, and deleting entries, thus demonstrating how to integrate Strapi into a Next.js project effectively.
