Getting Started

Here’s how you can quickly get started with the Shopify-react-blog-UI package in your Next.js or React project:

1. Install the package using npm or yarn as shown above.
2. Use the BlogUI component in your project:

Example in Next.js

// pages/index.tsx
import React from 'react';
import BlogUI from 'shopify-react-blog-ui';

const Home = () => {
  return (
    <BlogUI
      title="Welcome to My Blog"
      content="This is an example blog using the Shopify React Blog UI component!"
    />
  );
};

export default Home;

Props

The BlogUI component accepts the following props:

• title: (string) - The title of your blog post.
• content: (string) - The content of your blog post.

Example usage:

<BlogUI
  title="Understanding Server-Side Rendering"
  content="Server-side rendering is a key part of building performant web applications..."

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
