How to Build a Banking Dashboard with Strapi 5 and Next.js 16
Blog post from Strapi
The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on building a prototype banking dashboard using Strapi 5 and Next.js 16, emphasizing the ease of creating a frontend interface to visualize banking data, an admin panel to manage data, and an API for data connectivity. Strapi simplifies the development process by automatically generating an admin panel and REST API from user-defined data models, allowing developers to focus on the frontend aspects like layout and user experience. The tutorial walks through creating content types for accounts, transactions, and cards, and setting up relations between them using Strapi's Content-Type Builder. It then guides on configuring API access, seeding sample data, and developing the Next.js frontend to fetch and display data using server-side rendering and client-side interactive components with Recharts for data visualization. The guide concludes with suggestions for further development, such as adding authentication and deploying the application for production use, while noting that the prototype is mainly for learning and demonstration purposes, not for creating secure, production-ready banking systems.
