next-gen

The Next.js Codebase Generator

Introduction

This project is meant to help you with two things:

1. It helps you to scaffold new Next.js applications that are custom-tailored to exactly the features you want.
2. It allows you to quickly add support for various tools and frameworks to existing Next.js applications.

Think of it as a mix of npx init gatsby and Blitz Recipes, but for Next.js.

Getting Started

You can either install next-gen globally:

npm install -g @biowaffeln/next-gen

or try it out directly with npx:

npx @biowaffeln/next-gen [command]

next-gen comes with two commands, next-gen init for scaffolding new projects, and next-gen add for adding tools to existing projects:

next-gen init

Simply answer the questions in the interactive prompt and a Next.js project will be generated for you. The prompt will guide you through the process and allow you to add any of the below recipes to your newly created Next.js project.

next-gen add [recipe]

This command adds various tools and frameworks to an existing Next.js project, all within seconds! To add a recipe, run next-gen add [recipe].

⚠️ Warning! This command will modify files in your project. It's advised to commit your changes to git before running this command.

Currently available recipes are:

• Sass - sass
• Typescript - typescript
• Tailwind CSS - tailwind
• Preact - preact
• styled-components - styled-components
• Chakra UI - chakra-ui
• MDX - mdx

Alternatively, you can omit the argument and run next-gen add, which will launch an interactive prompt that lists all the available recipes.

Don't see your favourite tool/framework and would like it to be added? Just go ahead and create an issue for it!
