    Now, if you’ve chosen to follow along exactly, there’ll be some missing pieces before you can actually deploy this project. Take a look at the sample code to see what you might need and make adjustments accordingly to get it up and running.

  • DOMPurify

    DOMPurify - a DOM-only, super-fast, uber-tolerant XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG. DOMPurify works with a secure default, but offers a lot of configurability and hooks. Demo:

    It is highly recommended to use an XSS Sanitizer like DOMPurify to sanitize HTML and prevent XSS attacks. For Next.js projects, which prominently feature server-side rendering, Isomorphic DOMPurify is especially valuable. It offers a seamless sanitization process across both server and client, ensuring consistent HTML sanitization in environments like Next.js where a native server-side DOM isn't present.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The open-source backend cloud platform. Add Auth, Databases, Functions, and Storage to your product and build any application at any scale while using your preferred coding languages and tools.

  • react-markdown

    Markdown component for React

    You can also choose to convert this to Markdown and use our Markdown metafield instead if you prefer, just note you’ll need to install a markdown package to do so. The article Building React Components from headless CMS markdown is a great read about how a package like React Markdown parses markdown from a headless CMS, and explains how to render markdown in a Next.js application.
