Blog post from Strapi
The tutorial details the process of creating a gift registry and wishlist platform using Next.js 16 and Strapi 5, highlighting the unique requirement of maintaining the surprise element by not revealing who claimed which gift. It covers setting up Strapi for content management, including modeling content types such as Registry, GiftItem, and Claim, and implementing custom controllers to handle gift claims while hiding claimer identity. The tutorial also explains preventing double-claims using Document Service middleware and configuring public versus owner API scopes. Next.js 16 is used to render public registry pages with dynamic SEO and Open Graph tags and to build an authenticated management dashboard for registry owners to track and manage gifts. The platform allows users to create registries for various events, share public URLs, and manage items through a dashboard, ensuring that claim details remain private to owners for post-event thank-you notes. The guide emphasizes the integration of server actions and optimistic UI updates to enhance user experience, with suggestions for further enhancements and deployment options.
