Overview:
The Next TypeScript boilerplate is designed to provide developers with a pre-configured setup for starting a Next.js project using TypeScript. It includes configurations for ESLint, Prettier, and Husky to ensure consistent code formatting and linting. The default deployment platform for this boilerplate is Vercel.
Features:
- TypeScript: The boilerplate uses TypeScript as the primary programming language, providing static typing and enhanced developer tooling.
- Next.js: The project is built on top of the Next.js framework, which offers server-side rendering, code splitting, and other performance optimizations.
- Independent Configuration: The configurations for ESLint, Prettier, and Husky are set up in such a way that they work independent of the developer’s IDE configuration, as long as they are using Visual Studio Code (VSCode).
- Inter Font: The boilerplate comes with the Inter font, which is hosted locally rather than relying on Google Fonts. This can help with performance and privacy concerns.
Installation:
To install the Next TypeScript boilerplate, follow these steps:
Install Yarn package manager.
npm install --global yarn
Install the project dependencies.
yarn install
Start the development server and watch for code changes.
yarn dev
Summary:
The Next TypeScript boilerplate provides a convenient and pre-configured setup for starting a Next.js project with TypeScript. It includes features such as independent configuration for ESLint, Prettier, and Husky, and uses the Inter font for improved performance. The installation process is straightforward and allows developers to quickly start building their projects.
