Getting Started

Getting Started

Welcome to your Next.js boilerplate! This boilerplate allows you to quickly build, launch, and publish ideas. Follow these steps to set up and deploy your project.

Introduction

You will be invited to the Next.js boilerplate project upon purchasing the product.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following tools installed:

Setting Up the Project

  1. Download the Repository: Download the ZIP file from the GitHub repository and extract it to your local machine.

  2. Navigate to the Project Directory: Move into the project directory:

    cd your-project-name
  3. Install Dependencies: Install all necessary dependencies using Yarn:

    yarn
  4. Start the Development Server: Start the development server:

    yarn start

    Your project should now be running at http://localhost:3000 (opens in a new tab).

Deployment

When you are ready to deploy your project you can do so using either Vercel or Render. However, I recommend using Render because it avoids cold start issues, resulting in faster API responses.

Deploying to Render

  1. Create an Account on Render: Sign up at Render (opens in a new tab) if you don't already have an account.

  2. Create a New Web Service: Follow the instructions to create a new web service from your Git repository.

  3. Configure Build and Start Commands: Use these commands for the build and start scripts:

    # Build command
    yarn build
     
    # Start command
    yarn start
  4. Deploy: Deploy your project. Render will handle the rest.

Deploying to Vercel

  1. Create an Account on Vercel: Sign up at Vercel (opens in a new tab).

  2. Import Project: Use Vercel's import flow to import your Next.js project.

  3. Configure Project Settings: Ensure the build and start commands are correctly set. Vercel usually detects these automatically.

  4. Deploy: Deploy your project. Vercel will take care of the rest.

Happy coding! If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.
