Fetching and Displaying Code Snippets Using Server Actions, Prisma and MongoDB & Syntax Highlighting

Welcome back to our Code Snippet Sharing App series! In this video, we focus on fetching code snippets and displaying them with syntax highlighting using NextJS. We'll explore cache revalidating, fetching a list of snippets from the database using Prisma ORM and server actions, and fetching individual snippet details by ID.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • How to implement cache revalidation for efficient data fetching
  • Fetching a list of snippets from the database using Prisma ORM and server actions
  • Fetching individual snippet details by snippet ID
  • Integrating code syntax highlighting for better readability
  • Creating reusable components for displaying snippets in multiple places

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to fetch and display code snippets with syntax highlighting, making your app more dynamic and user-friendly. This is a key feature for our Code Snippet Sharing App, enhancing the overall user experience.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the previous videos in this series where we set up authentication, integrated a VS Code-like editor, and created code snippets. Stay tuned for more exciting features coming up!
