Carlos' NextJS starter

This is my very own NextJS starter, suitable for my own purposes. Feel free to use it if it suits yours too :)

At the moment it includes:

• TypeScript
• Prettier
• MaterialUI
• Cypress

It also...

• Has a minimal template
• Uses lint-staged to run prettier on pre-commit
• Runs headless Cypress on precommit (keep your tests minimum or move this to your CI/CD pipeline!)
• Has the source code under /src (as it should be)

Everything else is (or should be) pretty much standard. For now at least.

Getting Started

npx create-next-app [name] --use-npm --example "https://github.com/carlosgarciamar/nextjs-starter"

Or clone it and run npm install...

Then npm run dev.

Thinking about adding...

• Conventional Commits
• Jest
• React testing library

On testing (a brief opinion)

A few good integration tests are in my opinion more valuable for UI development and easy to maintain than loads of unit tests with 1000% coverage. For this reason I have discarded Jest and RTL. Feel free to include them if you need to test specific units in a more targeted approach.

On folder structure (another brief opinion)

In src we have pages and theme to keep everything quite in the lines of NextJS. Feel free to create components for reusable components, hooks for your custom hooks and anything else you might feel that you will need.
