Overview

This article provides an introduction and guide to a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app. It covers the installation process, features of the project, and resources to learn more about Next.js.

Features

• Next.js Project: This project is built using Next.js, a framework for React applications.
• Bootstraped with create-next-app: The project is bootstrapped using create-next-app, which provides a preconfigured setup for Next.js projects.
• Development Server: The project includes a development server that can be started to preview the application locally.
• Editing the Page: The page can be edited by modifying the pages/index.tsx file. Any changes made to this file will automatically update the page.
• API Routes: The project includes an API route that can be accessed at http://localhost:3000/api/hello. The endpoint for this route can be modified in the pages/api/hello.tsx file.

Installation

To create a new project using this template, run the following command:

npx create-next-app my-next-app

Next, start the development server with the following command:

cd my-next-app
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the result. You can now start editing the page by modifying the pages/index.tsx file. The page will automatically update as you make changes.

API routes can be accessed at http://localhost:3000/api/hello. To modify this endpoint, edit the pages/api/hello.tsx file.
