Welcome to StormyCMS Documentation

StormyCMS is a headless content management system built around a GraphQL API — with one big difference from other headless platforms: the editor lives in your codebase, not ours.

You scaffold a project with stormy init and get a public site and an admin editor as two Next.js apps in your repository. Your React components are shared between both, so what editors see in the admin panel uses the same component implementation as the site.

Getting Started in 3 Steps

1. Scaffold a project: npx @stormycms/cli init
2. Configure your site credentials from account.stormycms.com in the generated .env files
3. Run pnpm dev — your site is at localhost:3000 and your own admin editor at localhost:4000
