Cosmic — Headless CMS and API toolkit. Free personal plans for developers.

Hi HN, today we are releasing Blocks (https://blocks.cosmicjs.com/), our new data infused components for building Cosmic (https://www.cosmicjs.com/) (W19) powered websites and apps. Cosmic is a headless content management system (CMS). We provide a dashboard to create content and API tools to deliver content to any website or app.

Blocks are pre-built website components that you can drop into your project. Choose from landing pages, blogs, image galleries, product pages, and more. With Blocks you can build these features with Cosmic faster than ever.

It's our goal to empower your team to create the best content powered websites and apps. Blocks can be considered the missing "head" to connect with the Cosmic headless CMS. It is our opinionated component frontend for building highly scalable and performant web applications built with tools we think offer a development experience and performance advantage (React Server Components, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS).

React Server Components (RSCs) have unlocked a new paradigm in building data-driven web applications. By safely encapsulating data-fetching inside components, we can use RSCs as building blocks to enable faster and more scalable application development. We are excited for the potential of RSCs and Blocks. This is just the beginning.

To get started, go to the Blocks website (https://blocks.cosmicjs.com/) and follow the steps for installation. View the Blocks demo (Agency Template) (https://cosmic-agency-template.vercel.app/) to see all of the Blocks in action.

Blocks are built to give developers a head start with features that are:

- Performance optimized

In this article, we’re going to cover best practices for using React Server Components along with a headless CMS. We’ll also cover when to use client-side components and how to best structure your websites and apps for efficient data fetching from a headless CMS, in our case Cosmic (learn more about Cosmic here). Alright, let’s get into it:

RESTful API: Cosmic provides a RESTful API allowing for easy integration with any web or mobile applications. The Cosmic SDK for Swift abstracts the REST API to manage the CRUD operations for our app, this is what we’ll be using for our app.

For these demonstrations, I'm using IntelliJ IDEA, equipped with the Kotlin Notebook plugin and all necessary dependencies. If you’d like to follow along step-by-step, I recommend setting up your environment similarly. Here is a short installation guide.

Android Studio or IntellijIDEA (configured for Android development) installed and working in your machine.

If you are using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, you can set environment variables in the configuration settings of your application.

Being somewhat allergic to coding in Java (this is a personal thing, if you like Java then good for you) I decided to try out writing the code using Kotlin from JetBrains instead. I'm already using IntelliJ as I work with Apache Spark using Scala, so the tooling was already there and ready to go for this.

IntelliJ (look for the community edition) on the other hand offered great out-of-box Groovy support including IntelliSence, building, and running features. So, I sticked with it 😊

I readily admit I am not familiar enough with fossil to know about the impedance mismatch, but I'll point out that https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-plugins/tree/idea/241.... https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/idea/24... https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/idea/24... https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/idea/24... may a long way toward finding how they think about those operations

I've always used IntelliJ IDEA, other IDEs start feeling useless once you go down the Jetbrains path 😅

I offer, again, my JetBrains GrammarKit counterpoint from the last time that assertion came up <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38192427>

I consider the JetBrains parsing system to be world class and they seem to hand-write very few (instead building on this system: https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit#readme )
