This is a demo of how to use SvelteKit and DatoCMS together.
The purpose of this repo is to have a quick start reference that can be set up with the "one-click" button below.
Have a look at the end result live:
-
Make sure that you have set up the Github integration on Vercel.
-
Let DatoCMS set everything up for you clicking this button:
To take advantage of preview mode, deploy environment must support edge functions. That shouldn't be an issue: most of the providers have some form of edge function, these days.
If you use this demo as a starting point for a project and you plan to deploy to production, take some time to understand how to properly configure secrets, so that no reserved information (like, for example, DatoCMS contents in draft status) gets leaked.
Before deploying to production, you should set the following 4 environment variables:
PREVIEW_MODE_PASSWORD: the password that users must have to enable preview mode;PUBLIC_DATOCMS_API_TOKEN: a DatoCMS token with read-only permissions and no access to draft contents: this token can be included in the bundles produced by Nuxt at deploy;DRAFT_ENABLED_DATOCMS_API_TOKEN: a DatoCMS token with read-only permissions and access to draft contents: this token will be potentially accessible only to users who have access to the preview mode (thus, only to people that know the preview mode password and are therefore expected to see draft contents);PREVIEW_MODE_ENCRYPTION_SECRET: this secret is meant to sign the cookie that enables preview mode: it can be any random string.
With these secrets in place, you can safely go to production.
Once the setup of the project and repo is done, clone the repo locally.
In your DatoCMS' project, go to the Settings menu at the top and click API tokens.
Then click Bundle-safe, read-only token and copy the token.
Next, copy the .env.example file in this directory to .env (which will be ignored by Git):
cp .env.example .envThen set each variable in .env.
Once you've installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:
npm run dev
# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --openTo create a production version of your app:
npm run buildYou can preview the production build with npm run preview.
To deploy your app, you may need to install an adapter for your target environment.
