Getting Started with Next.js and TypeScript

Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes building web applications easier and more efficient.

Why Next.js?

Next.js provides several key benefits:

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Improve SEO and initial page load
  • Static Site Generation (SSG): Pre-render pages at build time
  • API Routes: Build your backend alongside your frontend
  • File-based Routing: Intuitive routing based on file structure

Setting Up Your Project

To create a new Next.js project with TypeScript:

npx create-next-app@latest my-app --typescript
cd my-app
npm run dev

TypeScript Benefits

TypeScript adds type safety to your JavaScript code:

types/user.ts

Conclusion

Next.js and TypeScript together provide a robust foundation for building modern web applications.
