Nextjs
Overview
The Next.js Sample Application is a comprehensive guide tailored for frontend developers looking to delve into practical testing methodologies. Spanning chapters seven to ten, this resource offers insights into testing a web application equipped with CRUD functionalities. It covers a variety of testing techniques, from integration testing to visual regression tests, catering not only to Next.js users but also to developers using different frontend frameworks.
What sets this sample application apart is its hands-on approach, integrating various testing tools and methodologies. The inclusion of GitHub Actions for both UI component testing and E2E testing further enhances its usability, making it a valuable asset for developers aiming to refine their frontend testing skills.

- End-to-End (E2E) Testing with Playwright: Offers practical insights into E2E testing, detailing integration with databases, Redis, and S3 for a complete testing experience.
- GitHub Actions for Automated Testing: Shows how to utilize GitHub Actions to execute UI component tests and E2E tests seamlessly, including workflow explanations.
- Local Development Environment Setup: Detailed instructions for setting up a local environment using MinIO, Node.js, and Docker to simulate a production-like setting.
- Sample Code Included: Provides real-world sample codes to facilitate understanding and implementation of discussed testing strategies.
- 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
- Prisma
Prisma is a server-side library that helps developers read and write data to the database in an intuitive, efficient and safe way.
- Fullstack
A fullstack boilerplate provides a starter application that includes both frontend and backend. It should include database, auth, payments, user roles and other backend services to build a fully featured saas or webapps.
- 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.
- React Hook Form
React Hook Form is a performant, flexible, and extensible form library for React with easy validation. It reduces re-renders and improves performance by using uncontrolled components and native HTML validation, making form handling simple and efficient.
- 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.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
