How to Build a Product Comparison and Review Site with Strapi and Next.js
Blog post from Strapi
The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on building a product comparison and review site using Strapi 5 and Next.js 16, focusing on creating essential backend components like product models, category taxonomies, and user reviews with moderation. It outlines the setup of Strapi's Content-Type Builder to model products, categories, reviews, and specifications, and the configuration of role-based permissions to manage content access. The frontend, developed using Next.js, includes routes for product listings, detail pages, comparisons, and a review submission form, leveraging Strapi's REST API for data fetching. The tutorial emphasizes efficient data handling through batched requests and introduces caching strategies using webhook-driven cache revalidation for immediate content updates. Authenticated users can submit reviews, which go through a Draft and Publish moderation pipeline, while lifecycle hooks recompute average product ratings automatically. The guide also touches on transitioning from SQLite to PostgreSQL for production deployments and suggests further enhancements like integrating full-text search or enforcing verified-purchase status.
