Building Modern Web Applications with Next.js and TypeScript.

Why Next.js and TypeScript?

Next.js provides an excellent foundation for React applications with features like:

• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for better SEO
• Static Site Generation (SSG) for optimal performance
• API Routes for backend functionality
• Image Optimization out of the box

TypeScript adds type safety and developer experience improvements that are crucial for large-scale applications.

Getting Started

First, let's create a new Next.js project with TypeScript:

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

This will set up a project with:

• TypeScript configuration
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• ESLint for code quality

Project Structure

A well-organized project structure is crucial for maintainability:

app/ ├── components/ # Reusable UI components ├── hooks/ # Custom React hooks ├── lib/ # Utility functions and configurations ├── types/ # TypeScript type definitions └── (routes)/ # App Router pages
