Dynamic Builder.io blog at AI Commerce – support for headless CMS architectures

Building a dynamic blog on Builder.io is easy and fast. Here are step-by-step instructions for creating a blog:

Step 1: Create a new template

1. Go to Builder.io and select the view for creating a new template (Model).

2. Name the template Blog article (without any additional characters). The name must be exactly "Blog article" for it to work correctly.

Step 2: Define required fields

1. Go to the template Fields tab.

2. Add the following fields and recommend setting them as required:

• title: The title of the article.

• handle: The slug of the article URL.

• image: The main image of the blog article, which can be used on the article page and in category views.

• date: The publication date that can be used to sort blogs.

• blurb: A brief preview text that appears in the blog listings.

Step 3: Set up dynamic preview

1. Open the template Options tab.

2. Set the dynamic preview URL to correspond to the web address and blog structure. This allows each article to be previewed through its own URL.

Step 4: Managing categories and page structure

• Categories and other pages, such as automatic listings, do not automatically generate in Builder.io. The category structure must be implemented separately, and your integration partner can utilize the GraphQL API to dynamically fetch and display data on the site.

Summary

Creating a blog on Builder.io makes content management easier and minimizes manual work. You can automate the listings of blog articles so that new articles do not need to be added manually to the lists.
