INTRODUCTION One of the top benefits of learning what is Next.js, is the knowledge of how flexible you can become in building, and adapting to online reality. As seasoned Next.js developers, we recognize the immense value in mastering this framework. One of its most compelling advantages lies in its unparalleled flexibility, empowering us to craft and seamlessly adapt to the dynamic landscape of the online realm. Within our realm as providers of Next.js development services, we view this flexibility as a cornerstone in navigating the swiftly evolving digital sphere. It affords us the agility to swiftly iterate and experiment with our concepts, enabling us to promptly respond to market demands and technological advancements. In essence, it allows us to stay ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive edge. Moreover, the current landscape of consumer behavior has undergone a seismic shift, presenting new challenges and opportunities. With the rise of e-commerce and changing consumer habits, the need for adaptable and innovative solutions has become more pressing than ever before. We became much more demanding when it comes to page loading speed (in milliseconds!) and the user experience from using websites or web shops. Our expectations regarding page loading speed, measured in milliseconds, and the overall user experience while navigating websites or online stores have significantly heightened. It allows you to build both simple and complex web applications much faster, and easier, and thanks to many great frameworks that have grown upon it, you can now build blazingly fast websites to achieve a much better UX and SEO efficiency. Let’s have a look at one of those frameworks — Next.js, which enjoys growing popularity and quickly became the first choice for many big names and companies.
Welcome back to our Epic Next.js tutorial series! Last time, we learned how to generate summaries using OpenAI and save them into our database. Part 1: Learn Next.js by building a website Part 2: Building Out The Hero Section of the homepage Part 3: Finish up up the homepage Features Section, TopNavigation and Footer Part 4: How to handle login and Authentication in Next.js Part 5: File upload using server actions Part 6: Get Video Transcript with OpenAI Function Part 7: Strapi CRUD permissions Part 8: Search & pagination in Nextjs Part 9: Backend deployment to Strapi Cloud Part 10: Frontend deployment to Vercel Today, we’ll take a look at how to update and delete our summaries while ensuring that only an authorized user can do this, as well as how to inject custom middleware on to users-permission plugin to allow users to update only their bio. We must ensure that only the right people can change or delete information. We’ll tackle this challenge using Strapi’s route middleware, ensuring only authorized users can interact with their summaries. Quick CRUD Refresher Let’s briefly revisit the basics of CRUD — Create, Read, Update, and Delete — essential operations for any web application: Create (POST): This method sends data to the server to create a new resource, like a summary. Read (GET): GET requests to retrieve data from the server, such as loading summary details. Update (PUT): Used for modifying an existing resource, like updating a user’s bio.
