Overview
Elastic’s Next.js EUI Starter provides an efficient framework for those looking to build prototypes using Elastic’s EUI (Elastic UI Framework) along with Next.js. While this starter offers a strong foundation for development, potential users should note that it is not consistently maintained and may not align with the latest EUI updates. This can pose some challenges, particularly with server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities in Next.js. However, with a straightforward setup process and the option to quickly dive into development, it serves as a great launchpad for building applications.
