Decap Starter

Deploy your site so you can get the assigned URL

If you plan to use a custom domain, you can set up the GitHub OAuth app directly.
Set up GitHub OAuth app

On GitHub, go to Settings > Developer Settings > OAuth apps > New OAuth app or use this direct link.

Homepage URL: This must be the prod URL of your application.

Authorization callback URL: This must be the prod URL of your application followed by /oauth/callback.
Set up your config

/public/admin/config.yml
- Need to change the repo, sitename, and base_url
- Can change the collections fields or media folder
Update env vars and redeploy
- Add your OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and OAUTH_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET environmental variables to platform

How it works

Hybrid SSR on Vercel
Github backend of Decap
- This is why we need SSR
- We create two endpoints used for auth ( /oauth and /oauth/callback )
The decap admin board is preconfigured with preview styles built from the tailwind of our project and to only show the body in the preview (personal preferences of mine can be removed by removing the scripts in /pages/admin.astro)
If you have a private repo, you need to add anyone you want to be able to log into the CMS as a collaborator of the repo
Tailwind typography for styling the blogs
- Personally not a fan, but I figured it was easy to use and remove
