Next Typescript Tailwind Starter

Next Typescript Tailwind Starter is a free, open-source boilerplate that scaffolds a production-ready Next.js 15 project with TypeScript 5 and Tailwind CSS 4, preconfigured with PWA support, Docker, and code-quality tooling.

What is Next Typescript Tailwind Starter?

Next Typescript Tailwind Starter is a GitHub repository created by Danang Eko Alfianto that serves as a starting point for building Next.js applications. It takes a blank Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app and adds a curated set of language, styling, PWA, and DevOps tools. The output is a project with pages and API routes under the pages directory, ready for development via pnpm dev or production builds via pnpm build. It targets Node.js version 22 or newer and requires pnpm 9 or newer.

Key Features

• React 19 and Next.js 15 — The starter bundles the then-current React 19 and Next.js 15 releases, so new projects begin on the latest framework versions.
• TypeScript 5 — TypeScript 5 is configured out of the box, giving type safety across the app.
• Tailwind CSS 4 — Tailwind CSS 4 is set up for utility-first styling; the README links to the official Tailwind documentation.
• Serwist 9 for PWA — Serwist 9 is included to make the app installable as a progressive web application.
• Docker support — A Dockerfile and docker-compose configuration are provided; prebuilt images are available on Docker Hub as danangekal/next-typescript-tailwind-starter.
• Biome — Biome acts as a fast formatter and linter for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and JSON.
• Husky 9 and Lint Staged 16 — Git hooks via Husky run Lint Staged on staged files to catch issues before commit.
• next/font optimization — The project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load the Inter custom Google Font.

Who is it for?

• Frontend developers who want to skip configuration and start a new Next.js project with TypeScript, Tailwind, and quality tooling already wired.
• Teams standardizing their stack can clone this starter to enforce a consistent set of tools (Biome, Husky, Lint Staged) across projects.
• PWA developers who need an installable web app can use the included Serwist configuration as the foundation.
• Developers deploying with Docker can take advantage of the provided Dockerfile and docker-compose setup to containerize the app.

What can you do with this starter?

• Spin up a new Next.js app: clone the repository, run pnpm install, and start editing pages/index.tsx with hot reload via pnpm dev.
• Build for production: run pnpm build followed by pnpm start to serve the optimized application.
• Deploy to Vercel: the README points to the Vercel platform and the official Next.js deployment documentation for one-command deployment.
• Run in a container: use docker build -t next-typescript-tailwind-starter . and docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 next-typescript-tailwind-starter, or simplify with docker-compose up.

How does it work?

The starter mirrors the standard create-next-app workflow: after cloning the repository and installing dependencies with pnpm, the development server runs on localhost:3000 with hot reload. The pages directory maps to routes, and files in pages/api become API routes accessible under /api/*. Production builds are generated with next build through the pnpm build command.

Pricing

The template is free to use — it is a public GitHub repository with no purchase or subscription required. Prebuilt Docker images are also publicly available on Docker Hub.

Alternatives

• create-next-app — the official Next.js scaffolding tool that produces a minimal project without the extra tooling (TypeScript, Tailwind, Biome, Docker) that this starter preconfigures.

FAQ

What Node.js and pnpm versions are required?

The project requires Node.js version 22.0.0 or newer (LTS) and pnpm version 9.0.0 or newer. Installation and build commands assume these versions are installed.

Is there a live demo?

Yes, the repository links to a live demo at https://next-typescript-tailwind-starter.vercel.app, which runs on Vercel.

Can the starter be deployed with Docker?

Yes — the repository includes a Dockerfile and a docker-compose configuration. You can build an image locally or pull the prebuilt danangekal/next-typescript-tailwind-starter image from Docker Hub.

What font does the template use?

The project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font. No manual font setup is needed.
