Getting Started

Requirements

• Node.js

Install Gridsome CLI tool if you don't have

npm install --global @gridsome/cli

Create codebase

1. Click on "Use this repository" button to create your own repository from this template.

Create content source

1. Go to app.kontent.ai and create empty project

2. Go to "Project Settings", select API keys and copy

   • Project ID

3. Install Kontent Backup Manager and import data to newly created project from kontent-backup.zip file (place appropriate values for apiKey and projectId arguments):

   npm i -g @kentico/kontent-backup-manager
   
   kbm --action=restore --apiKey=<Management API key>
       --projectId=<Project ID> --zipFilename=kontent-backup

   Alternatively, you can use the Template Manager UI for importing the content.

4. Go to your Kontent project and publish all the imported items.

Join codebase and content data

Copy .env.template and name it .env then set the KONTENT_PROJECT_ID environment variable to value from Kontent -> "Project Settings" -> API keys -> Project ID.

You are now ready to use the site as your own!

Install the dependencies and run development environment

npm run develop

Production Deploy

Before deploying to production add own google analytics trackingId to [gridsome.config.js].

Deploy with Netlify

Netlify 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.
