Next.js App Template 🚀

This repository contains a Next.js application template designed for both development and production environments. It utilizes TypeScript 📚 and is configured with ESLint and Prettier ✨ for code quality and formatting. The project is set up to be developed inside a DevContainer 📦, ensuring a consistent and isolated development environment.

Features 🌟

• TypeScript: Strongly typed language that builds on JavaScript, giving you better tooling at any scale.
• ESLint with Prettier: Linting and code formatting are set up to maintain code quality and consistency.
• DevContainer: Containerized development environment for consistent setup and configurations.
• Next.js: A powerful React framework that enables functionality such as server-side rendering and generating static websites.

Getting Started 🚀

Prerequisites 📋

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Visual Studio Code
• Remote - Containers extension for VS Code

Setting Up the Development Environment 🛠️

1. Open the project in VS Code: Open the root directory of the project in Visual Studio Code.

2. Start the DevContainer: Use the Remote - Containers extension in VS Code to reopen the project inside the DevContainer. This will create an isolated development environment with all necessary dependencies.

3. Developing inside the container: Once the container is running, you can start the development server with the following command:

cd /workspace/next-app && pnpm dev

This command is also set as the postCreateCommand in the .devcontainer.json, so it runs automatically when the container starts.

Building and Running for Production 🏗️

Building the Application:

To build the application for production, run:

docker build -t <your-image-name> .

This command compiles your Next.js application and prepares it for deployment.

Starting the Application:

After building, you can start your application in production mode with:

docker run -p <host-port>:<container-port> <your-image-name>

# Example
docker run -p 3000:3000 prod-test

This starts the Next.js server on the specified port (default: 3000).

Scripts 📜

• pnpm dev: Starts the development server.
• pnpm build: Builds the application for production.
• pnpm start: Runs the built app in production mode.
• pnpm lint: Runs ESLint for code quality checks.
• pnpm prettier-format: Formats code using Prettier.
