Quick Start

We recommend creating a new Dokz app using create-dokz-app, which sets up everything automatically for you. To create a project, run:

npm init dokz-app
# or
yarn create dokz-app

After the installation is complete run npm run dev to start the development server. Try editing pages/index.mdx and see the result on your browser.

Manual Setup

warning: you should use npm init dokz-app if you don't have an existing next application

You can also install dokz in an existing nextjs application:

npm install dokz @emotion/react @chakra-ui/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

Add the dokz provider to the main nextjs entrypoint

// _app.jsx
import { DokzProvider } from 'dokz'
import { ChakraProvider } from '@chakra-ui/react'
import React from 'react'

export default function App(props) {
    const { Component, pageProps } = props
    return (
        <ChakraProvider>
            <DokzProvider headerLogo={<img src='/logo.svg' width='100px' />}>
                <Component {...pageProps} />
            </DokzProvider>
        </ChakraProvider>
    )
}

Add withDokz in the next.config.js file

const { withDokz } = require('dokz/dist/plugin')

module.exports = withDokz()

Create a new mdx document inside tha pages folder
