Overview

The NextJS Boilerplate is a simple boilerplate that includes TypeScript, React, NextJS, and Styled Components. It provides a basic setup to start building a project with these technologies.

Features

• TypeScript: The boilerplate includes TypeScript, which provides static typing for a better development experience and helps catch errors early.
• React: NextJS is built on top of React, allowing developers to easily build modern and interactive user interfaces.
• NextJS: NextJS is a framework for building server-side rendered React applications. It provides features like automatic code splitting, routing, and server-side rendering out of the box.
• Styled Components: Styled Components is a CSS-in-JS library that allows developers to write CSS styles directly in their components. It provides a convenient and maintainable way to style React components.

Installation

To create your own project using the NextJS Boilerplate, follow these steps:

1. Run the following command to create your project:

npx create-next-app my-app -e https://github.com/username/repo

2. Navigate to the newly created directory:

cd my-app

3. Run the development server:

npm run dev

4. Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

5. You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page will automatically update as you edit the file.

6. API routes can be accessed at http://localhost:3000/api/hello. The endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.

7. The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.

Summary

The NextJS Boilerplate is a convenient starting point for projects that require TypeScript, React, NextJS, and Styled Components. It provides a basic setup and installation guide to get developers up and running quickly. With its features and easy deployment on Vercel, this boilerplate is a useful tool for building modern web applications.
