LaunchPad - Official Strapi Demo

Welcome aboard LaunchPad, the official Strapi demo application, where we launch your content into the stratosphere at the speed of "we-can't-even-measure-it!". This repository contains the following:

• A Strapi project with content-types and data already onboard
• A Next.js client that's primed and ready to fetch the content from Strapi faster than you can say "blast off!"

🌌 Get started

Strap yourself in! You can get started with this project on your local machine by following the instructions below, or you can request a private instance on our website

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher
• Yarn as your package manager (this project uses Yarn internally for its scripts)

Don't have Yarn installed? You can enable it via Node.js Corepack:

corepack enable

Or install it globally via npm:

npm install -g yarn

1. Clone and Install

To infinity and beyond! Clone the repo and install root dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/strapi/launchpad.git
cd launchpad
yarn install

2. Setup

Run the setup script to install dependencies in both projects (Strapi and Next.js) and copy the environment files:

yarn setup

3. Seed the Data

Populate your Strapi instance with demo content:

yarn seed

4. Start the Development Servers

Launch both Strapi and Next.js concurrently from the root:

yarn dev

This starts the Strapi server first, waits for it to be ready, then starts the Next.js frontend. You're now a spacefaring content master!

Visit http://localhost:1337/admin to create your first Strapi user, and http://localhost:3000 to discover your space rocket website.
