Building a dynamic blog in Builder.io is quick and straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Create a new model
Go to Builder.io and navigate to the “Create Model” view.
Name the model exactly “Blog article” (without extra characters). The name must be exactly as specified to work correctly.
Step 2: Define required fields
Open the Fields tab of the model.
Add the following fields and recommend setting them as required:
title: The article’s headline.
handle: The article’s URL slug.
image: Main image used on the article page and in category views.
date: Publication date, used for blog sorting.
blurb: A short preview text shown in blog listings.
Step 3: Set dynamic preview
Open the Options tab of the model.
Configure the dynamic preview URL to match your website’s URL structure. This allows each article to be previewed through its actual URL.
Step 4: Manage categories and page structure
Categories and other pages, such as automatic listings, are not generated automatically in Builder.io. The category structure must be implemented separately, and your integration partner can utilize the GraphQL API to fetch and display data dynamically on the site.
Summary
Creating blogs in Builder.io simplifies content management and reduces manual work. You can automate blog article listings so new articles don’t need to be manually added to lists.
