NodeBB use Backend and Custom Frontend

2 months ago by vijay kumavat to c/general-discussion

Scenario : I have one web application in next.js in front end and node.js in backend. It has courses, text, Users, etc. We use SSO for the same in web application and in NodeBB.

Now our NodeBB (Forum) i need to integrate with my web application. After searching i come to this point is that we can use endpoint API to create frontend in my web application.

Could you please tell me can we integrate this? Where i can find the list of all Endpoints API?

Is this better way ? or we can do custom modifications in frontend and try to make similar look of current web application ?

which is better?

Probably easier to create a custom theme that matches the design of your other app and use the session-sharing plugin to login users automatically. You can find the api documentation here.
