I am working on a personal side project & using DatoCMS to manage content for a React-based web app. Things were going smooth at first but now I am facing issue when trying to integrate dynamic content updates – when it comes to syncing my content models with frontend components.
I am using React with some basic GraphQL queries but the data does not reflect real-time changes or throws unexpected errors. Also I tried checking the docs but I think I am missing something obvious.
Is there any go-to method or tool you all prefer for syncing content updates more reliably?? Also, if anyone has used DatoCMS with static site generators such as Next.js, I want to hear how you structured your setup.
Welcome to DatoCMS! Are you new to the world of React and Javascript sites in general? (No problem if you are, just trying to understand your background and experience level so we can provide better help.)
First, from that other post you said you looked at… did you already go through the starter projects, especially the Next.js ones? They show a working connection between demo projects in Dato and Next.js frontends.
Beyond that, many of our customers use Next.js. It’s probably the most common frontend we see, especially for medium and larger sites. But it’s not an easy thing to learn. Have you gone through their own tutorials? https://nextjs.org/learn Even if you know React, Next adds significant complexity on top of it.
We can try to help you with specific parts that you may have difficulty with, but to do so, we need to talk specifics… as in:
What was the query, and what was the data you’re getting back? What were the errors?
If you have source code, screenshots, queries, responses, etc., then we can better discuss what is happening at each stage of the process.
I also don’t see any DatoCMS projects in your account right now. What were you testing the frontend against?
Anyway… how can we best help you? If you can please share with us what you’ve tried so far, we can go from there… or I can briefly describe how such a setup would work… or? What would be the most helpful?
