Develop JavaScript apps

Learn how to develop your own JavaScript applications that use the Kentico Kontent APIs to retrieve and manage Content as a Service.

Learn the basics

If you're new to the world of Content as a Service, it can help to take some time to understand what it's all about and test out the basic functions.

• Watch a video about adopting the right mindset to work with an API-first CMS.
• Watch a video about what structured content is and why you should structure all your content.
• See how to build a simple Hello World website in 5 minutes.
• Test out the APIs with the Kentico Kontent Postman collection.

Start building apps

Once you know the basics, you can start creating your own applications.

• Start by running a sample application to see Kentico Kontent features in action. You can choose tutorials for the React app or Vue.js app or see the other JavaScript sample apps we have available.
• Next build your own app from scratch with our tutorial on building your first React app.

See what else is available

Once you know what you're doing, you'll want to see what else is possible for your development.

• Test the APIs directly by seeing how to get content whatever its form. Work with multiple languages, various relationships, and different structures.

• Check out our JavaScript SDKs: the Delivery SDK for retrieving published content and the Content Management SDK for managing content in all production stages.
• Explore the boilerplates and tools we have to get your development started right.

• See how to integrate with other services to build out capabilities. Content as a Service is ideal for a microservices architecture, so you'll want to know how to add in other services to your solution.
