Overview

The Next.js boilerplate is a project template that utilizes various technologies such as TypeScript, NextJS, Chakra UI, React Hook Form, Zod, Jest, React Testing Library, Eslint, and Prettier. It provides a convenient starting point for building web applications with these technologies.

Features

• TypeScript: Utilizes TypeScript for static typing and improved development experience.
• NextJS: Built on top of Next.js, a popular React framework that provides server-side rendering and other optimizations for better performance.
• Chakra UI: Includes Chakra UI, a flexible and customizable UI component library based on styled-components, for rapidly building user interfaces.
• React Hook Form: Integrates React Hook Form, a powerful form validation library that simplifies the handling of form inputs and validations.
• Zod: Uses Zod, a TypeScript-first runtime validation library, for efficient runtime validation of data.
• Jest: Includes Jest, a JavaScript testing framework, for writing unit tests and performing test coverage analysis.
• React Testing Library: Includes React Testing Library, a library for testing React components by simulating user interactions and asserting on the rendered output.
• Eslint: Integrates Eslint, a linter for identifying and fixing code errors and enforcing consistent code style.
• Prettier: Includes Prettier, a code formatter that automatically formats code to ensure consistent code style across the project.
• Husky: Utilizes Husky, a Git hook manager, to automate tasks such as linting and running tests before commits.

Installation

To create a project using this boilerplate, follow these steps:

1. Install all dependencies:

npm install

2. Run the development server:

npm run dev

3. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the result.

4. Start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page will auto-update as you edit the file.

Other available commands:

• npm run build: creates the production build version.
• npm run start: starts a simple server with the build production code.
• npm run lint: runs the linter in all components and pages.
• npm run generate: consistently creates components using PlopJS.
• npm run test: runs Jest to test all components and pages.
• npm run test:watch: runs Jest in watch mode.
• npm run prepare: starts Husky install and configuration.

Summary

The Next.js boilerplate is a project template that integrates various technologies for building web applications efficiently. It provides a solid foundation using TypeScript, NextJS, Chakra UI, React Hook Form, Zod, Jest, React Testing Library, Eslint, Prettier, and Husky. By leveraging these technologies, developers can benefit from improved development experience, powerful form validation, efficient runtime validation, and automated testing and linting processes.
