Chapter 1: An Introduction to Strapi

This chapter gives an introduction to Strapi. First, we will explain what Strapi is and what are the benefits of using it in developing API (short for application programming interface). Then, we will see how to set up and prepare our development environment to work with Strapi. Afterward, we will create a simple API to help us get started with Strapi. Finally, we will have a quick look at the server scripts offered by Strapi to start and stop the development server.

These are the topics we will cover in this chapter:

  • What is Strapi?
  • Why use Strapi? (The benefits of Strapi)
  • Preparing the development environment
  • Creating a Strapi application
  • Understanding server scripts
