Integrating Payload CMS with Next.js: Best Practices

 Since Payload CMS 3.0 introduced native support for Next.js, developers can now build high-performance CMS-driven applications efficiently.

Key Features:

  • Server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG)
  • API routes for dynamic content fetching
  • Authentication and session management

Example: Fetching CMS Data in Next.js

Using getServerSideProps for SSR:

export async function getServerSideProps() {

 const response = await fetch(‘https://your-payload-cms.com/api/posts’);

 const posts = await response.json();

 return {

  props: { posts }

 };

}

Using getStaticProps for SSG:

export async function getStaticProps() {

 const response = await fetch(‘https://your-payload-cms.com/api/posts’);

 const posts = await response.json();

 return {

  props: { posts },

  revalidate: 10, // Rebuild every 10 seconds

 };

}
