tailwind-react-next.js-typescript-eslint-jest-starter

Starter template for building a project using React, Typescript, Next.js, Jest, TailwindCSS and ESLint.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone or download the project.
2. cd in the project directory.
3. If you cloned the project, make sure you remove the remote reference to this project by running git remote rm origin.
4. Copy .env.example to .env as that file is used to load up all your environment variables.
5. Run yarn install or npm install to install all dependencies.

Commands

• yarn dev: To start a local development server.

• yarn test: To run the entire unit test suite using jest.

• yarn lint: To run the ESLint based linter to find out the issues in the project.

• yarn format: To autoformat all the issues.

• yarn export: Run this after running yarn analyze to export a build copy.

• yarn production: To export a production build. Use yarn start to serve that.

• yarn upgrade --latest: To upgrade all packages to their latest versions (could include breaking changes).

Code Structure

1. All Next.js entrypoints are housed in the pages/ directory as a default.
2. Everything else is in the src/ directory.
3. src/components are all stateless reusable components.
4. src/containers are more of stateful components for more main level components, like a whole page or screen for example.
5. src/css folder is there just to house the Tailwind initialization.
6. All env variables are available in .env files (.env file isn't committed). Whenever you update .env, please update .env.example and .env.test and next.config.js to proxy all environment variables properly. You can access these variables in the app source code anywhere using process.env.<VAR_NAME>.

My personal preference is to have the bare minimum code in pages/ and house everything in the src/ directory. Helps keep everything in one place, neat and tidy. You can change this in any way you prefer.

If you feel like changing the directory structure, please change the appropriate settings in the following files:

• .babelrc
• jest.config.js
• postcss.config.js
• tsconfig.json
• The lint and the format scripts in package.json

Note

1. This project removes the x-powered-by response header via next.config.js by marking the poweredByHeader property as false.

2. This project also adds support for trailing slash on URL's. Makes /dashboard/ redirect to /dashboard instead of 404ing.

   So if you have a route for /dashboard, a request for /dashboard/ 404's. This is definitely true for file-based URL's as documented here: vercel/next.js#5214 (comment). Picked the fix from that GitHub Issue.

   NOTE: Delete pages/_error.ts to disable this.

3. If you wish to use Enzyme instead of React Testing Library, please refer to this commit. Enzyme was removed with that commit.
