Video Course Starter Kit
A starter template to help create a video course with Mux + Next.js
Overview:
The Video Course Starter Kit is a project that showcases how to use Next.js and Mux to build a video course platform. It serves as a starting point for building a membership-gated video course platform. The project utilizes various modern tools and technologies, such as TypeScript, Tailwind for CSS styling, Planetscale for data persistence, Prisma for ORM, NextAuth for authentication via GitHub, Mux for video streaming and thumbnail generation, and Mux Player for video playback. Users can deploy their own version of the application by registering for Mux and Planetscale accounts. The provided instructions guide users through the installation process, including setting up necessary environment variables and database connections.
Features:
- Next.js and Mux integration for building a video course platform
- Membership-gated access to video courses
- Uploading, encoding, and playback of videos using Mux's video APIs
- Written in TypeScript for enhanced code maintainability
- Tailwind utilized for efficient CSS styling
- Planetscale for serverless MySQL-compatible database
- Authentication via GitHub using NextAuth
- Mux Player for seamless video playback experience
- Mux Uploader for video uploading convenience
- 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
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- 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.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and 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.
