Cosmic JS makes it easy to manage content for your Bootstrap applications. In this blog we’ll quickstart a Bootstrap Landing Page using the Cosmic CLI. This single page website landing page is built using Node.js and a minimal theme from Start Bootstrap. Install, deploy and edit every part of this landing page website from your Cosmic JS Bucket Dashboard. 🔥

There are over 70 app examples available in the Cosmic JS Apps Marketplace to speed up your project as well. Today we’ll be using the Cosmic JS CLI to quickstart a Bootstrap Landing Page.

🛠️ Installation

Install via the Cosmic CLI:

I set up an example Bucket for this blog:

Run cosmic -h for a list of all commands. Run cosmic [command] -h for details on options for a specific command. You're now up and running with a Bootstrap Landing Page that can be managed entirely from your Cosmic JS Bucket Dashboard and Command Line Terminal tool of choice.

Conclusion

I was able to easily install a Bootstrap Landing Page using a headless CMS API that I can now use to manage dynamic content changes. When ditching the installed content management system and going API-first isn’t quick enough, check out the Starter Apps from Cosmic JS to get a project up and running in seconds. 🔥
