Technical Stack

Built with modern, production-tested technologies:

Quick Start

Get up and running in under 5 minutes:

```bash

# Clone the template

npx create-next-app my-site --example headless-cms-allanswebwork

# Install dependencies

cd my-site && npm install

# Set up environment variables

cp .env.example .env.local

# Run development server

npm run dev

```

Configuration

1. Database Setup

The template uses Supabase for content storage. Simply run the included migration:

```bash

npx supabase db push

```

This creates all necessary tables:

`posts` - Blog posts and pages

`authors` - Author profiles

`categories` - Content categorization

`media` - Image and file management

2. Authentication

Built-in authentication with multiple providers:

```typescript

// app/auth/config.ts

export const authConfig = {

providers: ['google', 'github', 'email'],

sessionStrategy: 'database',

pages: {

signIn: '/admin/login',

newUser: '/admin/onboarding'

}

```

3. Content Management

The admin panel provides a full-featured CMS:

**WYSIWYG editor** with live preview

**Media library** with drag-and-drop upload

**Scheduling** for future publication

**Draft/publish workflow**

**SEO fields** for every post

Customization

Styling

Customize your site's appearance with theme variables:

```css

/* app/globals.css */

:root {

--primary: 220 90% 56%;

--secondary: 170 75% 48%;

/* ... */

}

```

Components

All components are modular and customizable:

```typescript

// components/article-card.tsx

export function ArticleCard({ post }: { post: Post }) {

return (

{post.title}

{post.excerpt}

)

}

```

Content Types

Add custom content types by extending the schema:

```sql

CREATE TABLE products (

id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),

name TEXT NOT NULL,

price DECIMAL(10,2),

description TEXT,

created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()

);

```
