Building a Blog with Skrip in 10 Minutes

date: 2026-02-05author: Taylor Reed

This guide walks through building a simple blog using Next.js and Skrip. You'll have a fully functional content pipeline in about 10 minutes.

Project Structure

content/
  blog/
    hello-world.md
    second-post.md
app/
  blog/
    page.tsx         ← list all posts
    [slug]/
      page.tsx       ← render a single post

Listing Posts

Fetch all posts from the Skrip API and render them:

async function getPosts() {
  const res = await fetch('/api/collections/blog')
  const { collection } = await res.json()
  return collection.items
}

Rendering a Post

async function getPost(slug: string) {
  const res = await fetch(`/api/collections/blog/${slug}`)
  const { item } = await res.json()
  return item
}

The item.data object has your frontmatter fields. The item.content has the raw markdown body — pass it to any renderer you like.

That's It

No schema migrations. No CMS deploys. Add a new .md file and it appears in the API immediately.
