Welcome to the developer documentation for Prismic and Node.js + Express.js. This page outlines some of the resources that you will find in this documentation.

Introduction to Node.js & Express.js

If you've found yourself here, then most likely you already know at least a little about Node. For those that don't, the Node.js website describes Node as "a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine".

Express.js is minimalist framework built for Node to help handle your website routing & middleware. Combined with one of the many templating systems (such as Pug or EJS), it makes it easy to setup a server-side rendered, dynamic website.

Before you start

If you don't have any previous experience with Node.js or Express, then we recommend learning a little about these before continuing here. There are lots of great resources available to help you get started:

Getting started

This documentation covers how to use Node.js & Express.js with the Prismic REST API. If you're ready to start learning, here's where to begin:

Start from Scratch

Start building your website using Prismic's starter project with everything you need out of the box.

Integrating with an existing project

Let's walk through all the steps to get Prismic integrated into your React project.

Start with your use case

Sample websites and blogs are a great place to start if you're new to Prismic as they are very easy to explore and learn from. Feel free to explore how it all works or even to use them as boilerplates for your own project if it fits your needs!
