Next Redux Typescript Starter is an open-source boilerplate that produces a server-side-rendered React application using Next.js, TypeScript, Redux, emotion, and Jest, ready to deploy through ZEIT Now.
What is Next Redux Typescript Starter?
Next Redux Typescript Starter is a GitHub boilerplate by locol23 that combines Next.js server-side rendering with TypeScript, Redux, emotion, and Jest. It takes a fresh React project and gives you a configured SSR setup with state management, styling, and test tooling, plus a deployment path through now. The repository description also mentions Recompose and styled-components, though the README's library list names emotion as the styling solution.
Key Features
- Next.js server-side rendering — Next.js handles SSR out of the box; the development server runs with
yarn devand production output deploys viayarn deploy. - TypeScript integration — The project is written in TypeScript, giving typed React components and Redux state.
- Redux state management — Redux is preconfigured for global application state, ready for actions, reducers, and store setup.
- emotion styling — The README includes emotion in its library list for CSS-in-JS styling; the repository description also mentions styled-components, so the exact styling package may vary by version.
- Jest testing — Jest is included in the dependency list for unit and component testing.
- ZEIT Now deployment — The
nowlibrary is listed, andyarn deploytriggers deployment to ZEIT Now (now Vercel). - Yarn-based workflow — Setup uses
yarnafter cloning, with three commands:yarn devfor development andyarn deployfor production.
Who is it for?
- React developers starting a new project who want SSR preconfigured without assembling Next.js, TypeScript, and Redux themselves.
- Teams building production React apps that need server rendering for performance and SEO, with Redux for state and Jest for tests.
- Developers who like CSS-in-JS and want a starter that wires emotion (or styled-components, per the repo description) into the SSR pipeline.
