Get started

git clone https://github.com/cosmicjs/nextjs-website-boilerplate
cd medical-professional-next-js  
npm install

Import the bucket.json file into your Cosmic Bucket.  To do this go to Your Bucket > Settings > Import / Export Data.  Or install the app via the Next.js Website App page



Run in production

COSMIC_BUCKET=your-bucket-slug npm start 

Go to http://localhost:3000 

Run in development

 npm run dev

 Go to http://localhost:5000

Config 

Contact email Because Next.js doesn't have a mail server, the contact form uses mailgun to send the email. So add the following constants in the config file.
