Next.js TypeScript Tailwind Sass Boilerplate

Next.js TypeScript Tailwind Sass Boilerplate is a public GitHub template that combines create-next-app with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Sass/SCSS, ESLint, Prettier, and absolute imports, ready to use as a starting point for any Next.js project.

What is Next.js TypeScript Tailwind Sass Boilerplate?

This boilerplate is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app, with a set of preconfigured tools and conventions added on top. It takes a fresh Next.js installation and layers on TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React-responsive, Sass/SCSS with absolute imports, ESLint with custom strict settings, and Prettier integrated with ESLint. The result is a project structure that includes components, assets, utils, and custom SCSS functions designed to speed up development. The template is distributed via GitHub's "Use this template" button, so you can create a new repository with all of these files in one step.

Key Features

• Next.js — The React framework from Vercel, set up with create-next-app, gives you file-based routing, server-side rendering, and static site generation.
• TypeScript — TypeScript is configured, so components and utilities are typed by default.
• Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS is installed and ready to use for styling without leaving JSX.
• React-responsive — A library for responsive design that provides media query hooks for building adaptive layouts.
• Sass/SCSS — Sass is supported, with absolute imports so you can use paths like assets/styles/variables instead of relative paths.
• ESLint with custom strict settings — Linting rules are stricter than the create-next-app defaults, helping catch errors and enforce consistency.
• Prettier configured to work with ESLint — Code formatting is automated and compatible with the ESLint rules, so you don't have to resolve conflicts.
• Neat project structure — Folders for components, assets, and utils are pre-created to keep the codebase organized.
• Absolute module imports — Imports like import image1 from 'assets/image1.jpg' work without relative path traversal.
• Custom SCSS functions — Helpers are included to make pixel-perfect implementation from design files easier.
• Custom scripts — yarn start runs the Next.js dev server, and yarn serve runs the production server.

Who is it for?

• Next.js developers starting a new project — Skip the repetitive setup of TypeScript, Tailwind, Sass, and linting by using this template as a base.
• Frontend developers who value strict linting — The custom ESLint settings enforce code quality from the first commit.
• Design-focused teams — The custom SCSS functions and absolute imports streamline translating visual designs into code.

What can you do with it?

• Create a new app quickly — Click "Use this template" on GitHub, clone the repo, run yarn install, and then yarn start to get a development server running with the full toolchain.
• Customize the styling stack — Use Tailwind for utility classes and Sass for custom styles, with SCSS functions for consistent spacing and sizing.
• Maintain clean code — The combination of ESLint and Prettier keeps formatting and linting consistent across your team.

How does it work?

Using the template starts by clicking the "Use this template" button on the GitHub repository, which creates a new repository with the same file structure. After cloning, install dependencies with npm install or yarn install. For development, run yarn start (which executes next dev); for a production build, run yarn serve (which executes next start).

FAQ

Is this template free to use?

The repository is publicly available on GitHub and is meant to be used as a template. The README does not mention any payment or license restriction, so you can assume it is free to use for your own projects.

What is included in this boilerplate?

It includes Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React-responsive, Sass/SCSS, ESLint with custom strict settings, Prettier, absolute module imports, custom SCSS functions, and a neat project structure with predefined folders.

How do I start the development server?

After installing dependencies, run yarn start to start the Next.js development server. This is a custom script that runs next dev.

How do I run a production build?

Run yarn serve to start the production server with next start. This requires you to have built the project first.

Does this template include React-responsive?

Yes, React-responsive is one of the listed features, and it can be used to build responsive layouts with media query hooks.
