Nuxt Content + Netlify CMS Starter Blog

Note: This starter uses Nuxt 2.14 and @nuxt/content v1.1.0. This is a port of the Gatsby + Netlify CMS Starter.

This repo contains an example business website that is built with Nuxt.js, @nuxt/content, and Netlify CMS: Demo Link.

It follows the Jamstack architecture by using Git as a single source of truth, and Netlify for continuous deployment, and CDN distribution.

Prerequisites

• Node (I recommend using v8.2.0 or higher)
• Nuxt
• Netlify CLI

Getting Started (Recommended)

Netlify CMS can run in any frontend web environment, but the quickest way to try it out is by running it on a pre-configured starter site with Netlify. Use the button below to build and deploy your own copy of the repository:

After clicking that button, you’ll authenticate with GitHub and choose a repository name. Netlify will then automatically create a repository in your GitHub account with a copy of the files from the template. Next, it will build and deploy the new site on Netlify, bringing you to the site dashboard when the build is complete. Next, you’ll need to set up Netlify’s Identity service to authorize users to log in to the CMS.

Access Locally

Pulldown a local copy of the Github repository Netlify created for you, with the name you specified in the previous step

git clone https://github.com/[GITHUB_USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git
cd [REPO_NAME]
npm install
netlify dev # or ntl dev

This uses the new Netlify Dev CLI feature to serve any functions you have in the lambda folder.

To test the CMS locally, you'll need to run a production build of the site:

netlify dev # or ntl dev

Getting Started (Without Netlify)

git clone https://github.com/lukeocodes/gatsby-starter-netlify-cms/ [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
cd [SITE_DIRECTORY_NAME]
npm install

# dev start
npm run dev

# prod build and start
npm run generate
npm run start

Setting up the CMS

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.
