Next.js TS Template

Next.js TS Template is a boilerplate starter combining Next.js and TypeScript, pre-wired with ESLint, Prettier, Stylelint, Husky, and Commitlint so you can start building server-rendered React applications immediately.

What is Next.js TS Template?

Next.js TS Template is a boilerplate codebase for creating Next.js applications with TypeScript. It takes an empty project and gives you a pre-configured environment with linting, formatting, and commit tooling. The template runs on Node.js and uses Yarn as its package manager. The author created it while moving away from Create React App and Webpack, looking for a faster build setup.

Key Features

• Next.js framework — React framework with server-side rendering and file-based routing built in.
• TypeScript support — Typed JavaScript for catching errors early and improving developer experience.
• ESLint + Prettier — Linting and formatting configured together to keep code consistent and readable.
• Commitlint + Husky — Pre-commit hooks enforce commit message conventions (e.g., conventional commits) before each commit.
• Stylelint — A CSS linter to catch errors and enforce consistent styling rules.
• Axios — HTTP client included for making API calls from your application.
• Yarn commands — Includes yarn start-dev, yarn build, yarn lint, yarn install, and yarn remove for common tasks.
• Atomic design structure — Repository topics reference an atomic design folder structure for scalable component organization.
• React Query, React Hook Form, Tailwind CSS, and Zod — Repository metadata lists these additional libraries (data fetching, form handling, styling, validation).

Who is it for?

• Frontend developers starting a new server-rendered React project who want a TypeScript setup without manual tooling configuration.
• Teams that value code quality — pre-configured ESLint, Prettier, and Stylelint ensure consistent code from the first day.
• Developers moving from Create React App/Webpack — this template offers a modern Next.js alternative with a faster development experience.
• Projects that need commit discipline — Husky and Commitlint help enforce commit message standards across contributors.

What can you do with Next.js TS Template?

• Fast scaffold a Next.js app — clone and run yarn install to get a working project with all tooling in place.
• Develop with hot reload — use yarn start-dev to run the development server.
• Maintain code quality — run yarn lint to check code, and rely on Prettier for formatting.
• Build for production — run yarn build to compile the application for deployment.
• Enforce commit conventions — use the Husky pre-commit hooks to validate commit messages.

How does Next.js TS Template work?

The template is a Git repository you clone. After cloning, install dependencies with yarn install, then start the development server with yarn start-dev. The tooling runs automatically: ESLint and Prettier format your code, Stylelint catches CSS issues, and Husky runs Commitlint on every commit. When you're ready to ship, yarn build produces a production bundle.

FAQ

Is Next.js TS Template free?

Yes, it is released under the MIT License, so you can use it freely in personal and commercial projects.

How do I start the development server?

Run yarn install to install dependencies, then yarn start-dev to launch the Next.js development server.

Does the template include Tailwind CSS?

The repository metadata lists Tailwind CSS as a topic, along with React Query, React Hook Form, and Zod. After setup you can use Tailwind utility classes in your components.

What commit hooks are configured?

Husky is used for pre-commit hooks, and Commitlint enforces commit message conventions. This helps keep your commit history readable.
