Template details
T2 Template 2.0
A TypeScript + Tailwind Next.js template with Prisma and PostgreSQL.
About this template
T2 Template 2.0 is a TypeScript boilerplate for building web applications with Next.js 13, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
What is T2 Template 2.0?
T2 Template 2.0 is a starter project that wires together Next.js 13, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL into one preconfigured foundation. Its core function is to save developers the initial setup time for a full-stack web app, providing a working app/ directory, utility-first CSS, and a type-safe database layer out of the box. The project is still under development, and the repository description calls it "A Typescript + Tailwind Next.js template."
Key Features
- Next.js 13 App Router — The project uses the app/ directory structure, with a single page at
app/page.tsxthat auto-updates in the browser during development. - TypeScript — The entire codebase is written in TypeScript, enabling static type checking across server and client code.
- Tailwind CSS — Styling uses Tailwind's utility classes, so you can build custom interfaces without writing separate CSS files.
- Prisma with PostgreSQL — The template includes Prisma as the ORM and PostgreSQL as the database, giving you a typed query API.
- pnpm workflow — Commands are set up for pnpm: run
pnpm installto install dependencies andpnpm devto start the development server. - next/font with Inter — The Inter Google Font is automatically loaded and optimized through
next/font, which reduces layout shift and improves performance. - Backend service themes — The GitHub repository topics list Firebase, Prisma, and Supabase, indicating the template is oriented toward database/backend integrations even though the README only documents Prisma/PostgreSQL.
Who is it for?
- Web developers — who want a ready-made Next.js 13 + TypeScript + Tailwind stack without manually configuring the toolchain.
- Full-stack developers — who plan to use Prisma with PostgreSQL and prefer a starting point that already connects those pieces.
- Developers exploring the App Router — who want a minimal, readable example of a Next.js 13 app with font optimization and Tailwind.
What can you do with it?
- Launch a new web project: Start from this template, run
pnpm dev, and editapp/page.tsxto see live updates as you build out your UI. - Prototype a database-backed app: Leverage the Prisma/PostgreSQL setup to define data models and query them from your Next.js application.
- Learn the Next.js 13 stack: Because the template is minimal, it serves as a hands-on reference for App Router conventions, pnpm scripts, and
next/font.
How does it work?
Clone or download the repository, then run pnpm install to install dependencies. After that, start the development server with pnpm dev and open http://localhost:3000. The page you see is rendered from app/page.tsx, and editing that file will hot-reload the browser.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Uses a modern stack (Next.js 13, TypeScript, Tailwind, Prisma, PostgreSQL); includes automatic font optimization with Inter; follows the App Router structure.
- Cons: The project is still under development, so features may change; the README only covers getting started, leaving deeper customization to the developer.
FAQ
What is T2 Template 2.0?
T2 Template 2.0 is a boilerplate repository that combines Next.js 13, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL. It provides a preconfigured starting point for web development, with a basic page in the app/ directory and a database layer wired in.
What stack does it use?
The template is built with Next.js 13, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL. It also uses pnpm for package management and the next/font module to load the Inter font.
How do I run it?
Install dependencies with pnpm install, then start the development server with pnpm dev. The app will be available at http://localhost:3000. Any edits to app/page.tsx will appear automatically.
Is T2 Template 2.0 production-ready?
No — the repository description and README explicitly state that the project is still under development. You should expect ongoing changes and verify that all dependencies are stable before using it for production projects.
