next-turbo-tailwind

next-turbo-tailwind is a monorepo template built on Vercel's Turborepo that ships three Next.js starter apps and one SvelteKit starter app, each pre-configured with TailwindCSS, TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier.

What is next-turbo-tailwind?

next-turbo-tailwind is a Turborepo monorepo template that organizes multiple frontend framework apps under a single repository with shared tooling. It provides a web, docs, and init app built with Next.js, plus a sveltekit app, and a shared ui React component library. It runs on pnpm as the package manager and uses Turborepo for task running, caching, and remote caching via Vercel. The repository is published publicly on GitHub by user engageintellect.

Key Features

• Multiple framework apps — The monorepo contains three Next.js applications (web, docs, init) and one SvelteKit application, letting you compare or reuse patterns across frameworks in one codebase.
• TailwindCSS pre-configured — Every app has TailwindCSS set up for styling without additional build configuration.
• Shared UI component library — The ui package exports React components shared by the Next.js apps, reducing duplication.
• Shared configuration packages — eslint-config-custom and tsconfig centralize ESLint rules (including eslint-config-next and eslint-config-prettier) and TypeScript settings across all apps.
• TypeScript throughout — Each package and app is 100% TypeScript, per the README.
• pnpm workspaces — The monorepo uses pnpm for dependency management, and all commands are run through pnpm.
• Turborepo remote caching — Build artifacts can be cached locally or shared with your team and CI/CD pipelines via Vercel's remote cache after logging in with pnpm dlx turbo login and pnpm dlx turbo link.
• Prettier for code formatting — Prettier is already installed as a formatting utility.

Who is it for?

• Frontend developers exploring monorepos — They can use this template to see how Turborepo orchestrates builds for both Next.js and SvelteKit apps from a single root.
• Teams standardising on TypeScript and Tailwind — The shared config packages make it easy to enforce consistent linting, formatting, and TS settings across apps.
• Developers wanting multiple starter examples — The three Next.js apps and one SvelteKit app serve as reference implementations for spinning up new pages or features.
• Developers using pnpm — The template is built around pnpm commands, so pnpm users will feel at home.

What can you do with next-turbo-tailwind?

• Run a dev server with hot reload — Clone the repo, run pnpm i && pnpm run dev, and get all four apps running concurrently through Turborepo.
• Build all apps or individual ones — Run pnpm run build from the root to compile every package and app, proving the monorepo wiring works.
• Share UI components across apps — Import from the ui package into any of the Next.js apps to keep buttons, cards, and other components consistent.
• Set up remote caching — Use pnpm dlx turbo login and pnpm dlx turbo link to cache build artifacts on Vercel and share them across machines.

How does next-turbo-tailwind work?

The template starts with a standard Turborepo structure: a root package.json with pnpm workspaces, a turbo.json configuration, and separate folders for apps and packages. Each app is a standalone framework project that depends on the shared packages. Running pnpm run dev triggers Turborepo to execute the dev task across all apps and cache outputs; after linking a Vercel account, remote caching shares those artifacts with your team or CI.

FAQ

What is Turborepo?

Turborepo is a build system and task runner for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. It tracks task inputs and outputs to cache results, so unchanged tasks are skipped, and it supports remote caching via Vercel.

How many apps are included in this template?

There are four apps: three Next.js apps named web, docs, and init, and one SvelteKit app named sveltekit. There is also a shared ui React component library.

Which package manager does this template use?

The template uses pnpm. All commands in the README are pnpm commands, such as pnpm i, pnpm run dev, and pnpm run build.

Is the template free to use?

The repository is public on GitHub, so it is free to clone and use. Remote caching requires a Vercel account, but local caching works without one.

Does this template include TailwindCSS?

Yes, TailwindCSS is already installed and configured in the apps, as stated in the repository metadata and README utilities list.
