A nextjs template with typescript, tailwindcss and storybook support 🏗

The configuration of NextJS, TailwindCSS and Storybook can be complex 🏗 .

I have created a starter template to begin your journey with NextJS, typescript, tailwindcss and Jest 🎉 🦄

This project was bootstrapped with npx create-next-app and I have added support for:

Typescript
Taillwindcss
Storybook
Jest
Import SVG as React Component (SVGR) (Thanks to @neoziro)

You are welcome to contribute to this project to make it better. Contact me at contact@elitizon.com

This template is available at:

https://github.com/elitizon/nextjs-tailwind-storybook

To use this template:

  • clone it
  • remove the .git folder
  • git init .
  • git add .
  • git commit -m "First commit"

Hey! This is a great template!
How did you purge css for this?

Hi Vikrant.

I use PostCSS.

This is defined in the file tailwind.config.js. CSS is purged only for production.

const purgeEnabled = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"

console.log("\n")
console.log(`   TailwindCSS \n`)
console.log(`   ----------- \n`)
console.log(`   ✅ purgeEnabled=${purgeEnabled}\n`)

module.exports = {
  purge: {
    enabled: purgeEnabled,
    content: ["./src/**/*.html", "./src/**/*.tsx", "./src/**/*.jsx"]
  },
  darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
  theme: {
    extend: {}
  },
  variants: {
    extend: {}
  },
  plugins: []
}

I see, actually I am using bootstrap in my own project, do you by any chance have an idea how the same can be done with bootstrap?

Hehe, I'm just getting my hands dirty with Nextjs! It's amazing.

For Boostrap the best option is to use PurgeCSS npmjs.com/package/purgecss
