Customization

You can easily configure Next js Boilerplate. Please change the following file:

• public/apple-touch-icon.png, public/favicon.ico, public/favicon-16x16.png and public/favicon-32x32.png: your website favicon, you can generate from https://favicon.io/favicon-converter/
• src/styles/global.css: your CSS file using Tailwind CSS
• src/utils/AppConfig.ts: configuration file
• src/templates/Main.tsx: default theme

Deploy to production

You can see the results locally in production mode with:

$ npm run build
$ npm run start

The generated HTML and CSS files are minified (built-in feature from Next js). It will also removed unused CSS from Tailwind CSS.

You can create an optimized production build with:

npm run build-prod

Now, your blog is ready to be deployed. All generated files are located at out folder, which you can deploy with any hosting service.

Testing

All tests are colocated with the source code inside the same directory. So, it makes it easier to find them. Unfortunately, it is not possible with the pages folder which is used by Next.js for routing. So, what is why we have a pages.test folder to write tests from files located in pages folder.

Deploy to Netlify

Deploy to Vercel

VSCode information (optional)

If you are VSCode users, you can have a better integration with VSCode by installing the suggested extension in .vscode/extension.json. The starter code comes up with Settings for a seamless integration with VSCode. The Debug configuration is also provided for frontend and backend debugging experience.

With the plugins installed on your VSCode, ESLint and Prettier can automatically fix the code and show you the errors. Same goes for testing, you can install VSCode Jest extension to automatically run your tests and it also show the code coverage in context.

Pro tips: if you need a project wide type checking with TypeScript, you can run a build with Cmd + Shift + B on Mac.
