Boost Your Sitecore Headless Next.js App with Builder.io CMS Integration

 Introduction to Builder.IO

Builder.io is a powerful visual content management system (CMS) that allows developers and marketers to create, manage, and optimize digital experiences without writing code. It provides a drag-and-drop interface for building web pages, landing pages, and other digital content, making it easy for non-technical users to contribute to the development process. Builder.io integrates seamlessly with various frameworks and platforms, offering flexibility and scalability for modern web applications.

Connecting Builder.io with a Sitecore Headless Next.js App

In this blog, we will walk you through the process of integrating Builder.io with a Sitecore Headless Next.js application. This integration will enable you to leverage the visual editing capabilities of Builder.io while maintaining the robust content management features of Sitecore. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to create and manage content in Builder.io and have it seamlessly rendered in your Sitecore-powered Next.js app.

Install Builder.IO in your application

In the root of your project run the following command and install the dependencies also.

Once the installation is done, run the dev server and you will see a screen to get started and authorize the Workspace from Builder.IO.

After completing the authorization process, you should see a confirmation screen indicating that your Sitecore Headless Next.js app is successfully connected with Builder.io. This screen signifies that the integration is set up correctly and that you can now start managing your content through Builder.io.

To ensure that the changes take effect and the integration works seamlessly, you need to restart your server. Restarting the server will reload the configuration and apply any changes made during the integration process.

In the code solution, you can make changes in the [[path]].tsx file or the layout.tsx file which will have the Builder.IO code.

We can see out page coming from Sitecore in Builder.IO content page and we can add more component to your Page which can be custom or Builder.IO inbuilt components.
