NEXT Boilerplate

Lightweight Next boilerplate!

Background

We had tough times working with Next to make it our beloved framework. We opened issues (vercel/next.js#3131), make pull requests and discuss a lot in the slack channel of NextJs. Unfortunately some of our must have features was not supported at that time. So we started creating a boilerplate that had all the features we wanted on top of Next.

Features

  • redux for handling application state
  • redux-saga for handling async actions and side-effects
  • next-routes for handling dynamic routes
  • axios for making HTTP requests
  • dotenv for using environment variables
  • express as the server
  • redux-devtools in development
  • redux-logger in development for managing actions and state changes they cause
  • universal-cookie-express as a middleware for easily writing cookies
  • compression for compressing static assets
  • babel-plugin-module-resolver for importing modules related to the root directory
  • prettier and eslint configured with airbnb's styleguide for formating code
  • husky and lint-staged for autoformatting code before commit
  • styled-components allows you to write actual CSS code to style your components.

this boilerplate also includes flow and storybook that you can easily remove them if you don't like.
