Using Providers in SimplCMS​

SimplCMS provides a built-in API at simplcms.providers, allowing you to access and interact with your providers seamlessly.

import { simplcms } from "simplcms";

const project = await simplcms.providers.vercel.getProject(id);
const media = await simplcms.providers.s3.getMedia();

Next.js Requirement​

SimplCMS is built exclusively for Next.js and leverages server-side rendering (SSR) along with API routes to handle data processing and authentication efficiently.
