I'm super excited to share with you a new video on building a static site with Next.js, Hygraph, and GraphQL.
In this video we'll cover creating a schema, relations, editing content, and modifying permissions to allow public API access.
We'll then use Next.js to fetch content using Apollo Client, and build static pages with the Next.js lifecycle methods getStaticPaths, and getStaticProps.
This video is great for those who want to check out how to build a simple Hygraph project from start to finish in just around 30 minutes. It demonstrates just how easy it is to build a static site and gives folks some example tooling for that.
