Next Eui Starter
Start building Kibana protoypes quickly with the Next.js EUI Starter
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.
Features
- Quick Start with CodeSandbox: Jump right into coding by forking a sandbox on CodeSandbox, allowing you to make changes effortlessly and see real-time updates.
- Yarn Dependency Management: Designed with Yarn in mind, this starter kit simplifies dependency management, ensuring a smooth development experience.
- Easy Local Development: After cloning the repository, running your Next.js site is a breeze. Simply navigate into the directory and start developing locally at http://localhost:3000.
- Instant Browser Updates: With hot reloading, any changes saved in the source code will automatically reflect in the browser, making development efficient and fluid.
- GitHub Pages Deployment: A built-in script assists with deploying your project to GitHub Pages, complete with instructions for combating any initial setup hurdles.
- Configuration Files Included: Essential files such as
.eslintrc.jsand.prettierrcare included to ensure code quality and consistent formatting throughout your project. - Customizable Build Process: The
next.config.jsfile allows for personalized adjustments to the Next.js build, ensuring compatibility with EUI.
- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
