Last Updated : 5 Aug, 2025

In this project, we will explore the process of building The Blogging Platform with Next.js. Blogging Platform is a web application that allows users to create and publish blog posts. The platform provides a user-friendly interface for managing blog content and includes functionalities to create new blogs, search for blogs, and read the detailed content of specific blogs.

Output Preview: Let us have a look at how the final output will look like.

Prerequisites:

• NPM & NodeJS

• NextJS

• NextJS Routing

• React Hooks

Approach to Create Blogging Platform:

• Setup the Project by Creating a new NextJS project Install the necessary libraries.

• Design the layout of blogging platform, including components like Navbar, BlogList, Blogdetail, SearchBar, etc.

• We will use local storage to store the blog details.

• We will utilize useState and useEffect hooks to manage state and fetch blog data. we will use useRouter hook to access route parameters such as blog id.

• Implement a search feature for filtering blog posts based on the search query.

• We will implement Next.js routing to navigate between different pages (e.g., list of blogs, individual blog posts, create new blogs).

• We will style the application using bootstrap.

Steps to Create the Blogging Platform:

Step 1: Create a application of NextJS using the following command.

npx create-next-app blog-app

Step 2: Navigate to project directory

cd blog-app

Step 3: Install the necessary package in your project using the following command.

npm install bootstrap

Step 4: Create the folder structure as shown below and create the files in respective folders.

Project Structure:

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^5.3.3",
    "next": "14.1.3",
    "react": "^18",
    "react-dom": "^18"
}

Example: Below are the components which describes the implementation of the Blogging platform.

• Navbar.js: This component defines a navigation bar for blogging platform. It uses the Link component from Next.js to create links to different pages of the website.

• Createblog.js: This component allows users to add new blog posts by entering blog details.

• BlogList.js: This component is responsible to retrieve and display a list of published blog posts.

• [id].js: This component displays the details of a specific blog post using dynamic routing.

// page.js

import React from 'react'
import BlogList from '@/Components/BlogList';

const page = () => {
    return (
        <>
            
        
    )
}

export default page

Start your application using the following command:

npm run dev

Output: Naviage to the URL http://localhost:3000:
