// ... changelog data
};
<ChangelogSingleItem data={changelogData} />;

Functionality
The ChangelogSingleItem component provides the following functionality:
- Displays detailed information about a single changelog entry, including title, version, date, and description.

: For structuring the changelog entry layoutBadge

MDX Rendering
The component uses the useMDXComponent
hook from next-contentlayer/hooks
to render the MDX content of the changelog entry:
const Component = useMDXComponent(data?.body?.code);
This allows for rich, formatted content within the changelog entry.
Styling
The component uses Tailwind CSS for styling:
- The
Card
component is centered with a maximum width and no border. - The title uses large, bold text.
- The version badge uses a secondary variant.
- The date is displayed with muted text.
- The MDX content area has vertical spacing between elements.
Customization
To customize the ChangelogSingleItem component:
- Modify the Tailwind classes to adjust the layout and styling.
- Replace the UI components (Card, Badge, etc.) with your own custom components if needed.
- Adjust the date formatting to match your preferred style.
Accessibility
To improve accessibility:
- Ensure that the MDX content follows accessibility best practices.
- Consider adding ARIA labels to the "See All Changelogs" button for better context.
Best Practices
- Ensure that the
Changelog
data passed to the component is complete and correctly formatted. - Keep MDX content concise and well-structured for easy reading.
- Consider adding keyboard navigation support for moving between changelog entries.
Example Usage
Here's an example of how you might use the ChangelogSingleItem component in a Next.js page:
import { getChangelogBySlug } from '@/lib/changelogs';
import ChangelogSingleItem from '@/components/ChangelogSingleItem';
export default function ChangelogPage({ params }) {
const changelog = getChangelogBySlug(params.slug);
return (
<div className='container mx-auto py-8'>
<h1 className='text-3xl font-bold mb-6'>Changelog</h1>
<ChangelogSingleItem data={changelog} />
</div>
);
}
export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
const changelog = getChangelogBySlug(params.slug);
return { props: { changelog } };
}
export async function getStaticPaths() {
const changelogs = getAllChangelogs();
const paths = changelogs.map((changelog) => ({
params: { slug: changelog.slug },
}));
return { paths, fallback: false };
}
This example demonstrates how to use the ChangelogSingleItem component within a dynamic page that displays a specific changelog entry based on the URL slug.
By using the ChangelogSingleItem component, you can create detailed, formatted changelog entries in your Next.js application. This component provides a clean, structured way to present version updates and changes to your users, enhancing the documentation and transparency of your project's development process.
