Overview

This product is a Next.js Boilerplate that provides a starting point for developing a web project. It comes with various features such as live reload in development mode, customization options, support for Conventional Commits, deployment to production, testing capabilities, and integration with VSCode.

Features

• Live Reload: The project can be run locally in development mode with live reload. Simply open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to view the project.
• Customization: The Next.js Boilerplate can be easily customized. The project provides various files that can be modified, such as favicon files, CSS file, configuration files, template files, and sitemap configuration.
• Conventional Commits: The project enforces the Conventional Commits specification for commit messages. Commitizen, an interactive CLI, is used to guide users through the commit process. This enables the automatic generation of a CHANGELOG file and determining the next version number based on commit types.
• Deployment to Production: The project can be deployed in production mode. The generated HTML and CSS files are minified and unused CSS from Tailwind CSS is removed. An optimized production build can be created and the generated files can be deployed with any hosting service.
• Testing: Tests are colocated with the source code in the same directory, making it easy to find them. However, this is not possible with the pages folder used by Next.js for routing. To address this, a pages.test folder is provided to write tests for files located in the pages folder.
• Integration with VSCode: For VSCode users, there is a suggested extension in the .vscode/extension.json file for better integration with the IDE. The starter code also includes settings and a debug configuration for frontend and backend debugging experience. ESLint, Prettier, and Jest extensions can be installed to automatically fix code, show errors, and run tests with code coverage.
