Overview: Build a robust CMS for hospitals using Strapi (headless CMS) and Next.js (React framework).
Benefits: Flexible content management, server-side rendering, and improved user experience.

2. Project Setup

Environment: Ensure Node.js and npm/yarn are installed.
Strapi Setup: Create a Strapi project, configure the database, and set up content types.

User Roles: Set permissions for different roles (Admin).
API Endpoints: Utilize Strapi’s APIs to manage and fetch data.

5. Developing the Frontend with Next.js

Data Fetching: Retrieve data from Strapi.
Pages & Components: Build key pages like Patient Dashboard and Appointment Management.
Authentication: Implement secure access using JWT or OAuth.

6. Deployment and Maintenance

Deployment: Deploy Strapi backend (e.g., Heroku) and Next.js frontend (e.g., Vercel).

Hi @okosaleo,

This looks interesting. Could you please give me a walkthrough or user story of our application?

Meanwhile, are you willing to use Strapi 5 (https://strapi.io/five) for this project?

Hi @okosaleo ,

I hope you are doing great!

Could we have a Strapi 5 article on this: Strapi Policies and Middleware to secure user data? This is because Hospital data are always private.

What do you think?

I'm sorry for the late reply. I was caught up with work. Yes, I can use Strapi 5. That's not a problem.

Hi @okosaleo 👋,

I hope you are doing great. I have got an update from my team.

Would you please be willing to cover the complexities of securing endpoints in Strapi, it can get quite complex?
When you mentioned this • API Endpoints: Utilize Strapi’s APIs to manage and fetch data. I am not sure if you meant use it out of the box, or create custom security with Policies and Middleware?

Please let me know your response. Thank you.

I meant out of the box use. But that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to cover topics on custom security and using Strapi middleware. And yes I am willing to cover securing endpoints for API security.
