Implementing Previews with Nuxt Applications using a Strapi Backend

In a detailed tutorial, Mark Munyaka outlines how to integrate Nuxt Previews with Strapi as the backend to address the common issue in the Jamstack ecosystem of lacking real-time content previews. The guide walks through setting up a Nuxt.js application with Strapi, an open-source content management system based on Node.js, to enable dynamic content fetching using client-side JavaScript. This process involves setting up a Nuxt.js application, creating a Strapi project, and connecting the two to allow content previewing in Nuxt.js version 2.13 or later. It provides a step-by-step approach to configuring the necessary files and permissions, creating content types and entries in Strapi, and using Vuex state management to retrieve and display content. The tutorial emphasizes the benefits of using Nuxt Preview for generating static pages, whether for testing or deploying on platforms like GitHub Pages or Netlify, and highlights the flexibility of Strapi in managing content through both the admin UI and API.
