A statically generated blog example using Next.js and Markdown

This example showcases Next.js's Static Generation feature using markdown files as the data source.

The blog posts are stored in /_posts as markdown files with front matter support. Adding a new markdown file in there will create a new blog post.

To create the blog posts we use remark and remark-html to convert the markdown files into an HTML string, and then send it down as a prop to the page. The metadata of every post is handled by gray-matter and also sent in props to the page.

Notes

This blog-starter uses Tailwind CSS. To control the generated stylesheet's filesize, this example uses Tailwind CSS' v1.4 purge option to remove unused CSS.
