Contentful Remix Starter Blog

Create a Remix blog powered by Contentful. Based on the contentful gatsby starter blog repo.

Getting started

Get the source code and install dependencies

$ git clone git@github.com:marcolink/contentful-remix-starter-blog.git
$ npm install

Or hit the Use this template button on the repo page.

Create contentful space

Create contentful account or use your existing account to create a space. Now create a delivery and management token.

Create environment variables

We now need to set up some env variables:

I personally like to use direnv to manage my env variables. go check it out!

# your space id
export CONTENTFUL_SPACE=<contentful-space-id>

# your content delivery API token 
export CONTENTFUL_CDA_TOKEN=<contentful-delivery-token>

# your content delivery API token 
export CONTENTFUL_CMA_TOKEN=<contentful-management-token>

Import data to your contentful space

$ npm run setup

Development

To run your Remix app locally, make sure your project's local dependencies are installed:

$ npm install

Afterwards, start the Remix development server like so:

$ npm run dev

Update your local typescript definitions for your content types. This step is only needed If you change content types in the associated space.

$ npm run generate

Open up http://localhost:3000 and you should be ready to go!

If you're used to using the vercel dev command provided by Vercel CLI instead, you can also use that, but it's not needed.

Deployment

This project is bootstrapped with npx create-remix@latest and can be deployed to vercel.
