Next.JS Boilerplate with Typescript and Redux Toolkit

A Next.JS Boilerplate in Typescript syntax with important libraries. This structure based on next-boilerplate.

Enhancements:

  • Added Material UI and removed Styled Component.
  • Added Cypress as e2e testing framework.
  • Added Atomic design structure (Atoms, Molecules, etc.).
  • Added Redux Toolkit (createSlice, createApi / RTK Query) and Redux Persist.
  • Added Internationalization config by Next.JS Internationalization and next-i18next, currently support [en, id]. example http://localhost/id or http://localhost/en. The default value is en.
  • Added form management with react-hook-form and yup library.
  • Moved _app/index.tsx, _document/index.tsx, _error/index.tsx, 404/index.tsx from folder to _app.tsx.
  • Updated all library to latest update (Next.JS v9 to v11, storybook, redux, etc).
  • Updated definition structure in service layer from multiple definition to single definition, example: Auth.d.ts.
  • Updated bundle analyzer setup to the latest way.
  • Removed Express JS.
  • Removed CLI Pankod.

About

Next.js is a minimalistic React framework that runs on the browser and the server. It offers developers an easy way to get started, and as it uses React.js for templating, it’s also a straightforward way for developers with React experience to get productive quickly.

The advantage of this approach is to be able to create rich user experiences in a uniform way, without compromising SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) factors that are key to good ranking on Google and other search engines.

This boilerplate makes it easier to get up and running with a well-structured Next.js and TypeScript application.

Rules

Generals

  • The import local component/library should be with alias path (use @ReduxModules/Counter instead of ../src/Redux/Modules/Counter), here is available alias path:

    Alias Path Description
    @Atoms To access atoms directory which inside component
    @Molecules To access molecules directory inside component
    @Organisms To access organisms directory inside component
    @Definitions To access definitions directory inside src
    @Interfaces To access interfaces directory inside src
    @Pages To access pages directory
    @Redux To access redux directory
    @ReduxModules To access redux/modules directory
    @Static To access public/static directory
  • The imported library should be pyramid sorted and also grouped by:

    Order Number Import Area Description
    1 Import external library here
    2 Import local component here
    3 Import redux family here
    4 Import util/helper/etc function here
    5 Import Interface here

Components

  • Component should be writed in functional component
  • A function in functional component should be wrapped by useCallback to prevent a useless instantiation
  • A function has expensive calculation should be wrapped by useMemo to prevent a useless calculation
  • Functional component should be exported with React.memo to prevent a useless rendering
  • the interface should exist in a functional component to register incoming props.
  • Every component should have snapshot testing
  • Every new component shoud have property data-testid with prefix typescript validation, example: data-testid=button-login
