CeyLabs Next.js Starter Template

This is our standard Next.js project structure and setup guidelines. Follow these to ensure consistency across our projects.

Setup Guidelines

1. Project Structure:

   • Only keep Next.js routing files in the app directory
   • Implement dynamic imports for code splitting
   • Create custom components in components/

2. Styling:

   • Use Tailwind CSS for styling
   • Use ShadCn UI components

3. Performance Optimization:

   • Dynamically import components to improve performance through lazy loading
   • Use server-side rendering when possible for better performance
   • Use Next.js Image component for optimized images
   • Always use fetchy, a fetch wrapper function from @/lib/fetchy, for making HTTP requests

4. Forms and Validation:

   • Use React Hook Form for form handling
   • Use Zod for form validations

5. State Management:

   • Use Zustand for global state management
   • Utilize TanStack Query for server state management

6. Environment Variables:

   • Use .env.local for local environment variables
   • Never commit .env.local to version control

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/CeyLabs/Next-ShadCN-Template.git
2. Install Dependencies: bun i
3. Run the Development Server: bun dev
4. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Commit Guidelines

Before committing, ensure your code is properly formatted and builds without errors:

bun run format
bun run build

Use conventional commit messages:

• feat: for new features
• fix: for bug fixes
• docs: for documentation changes
• style: for formatting changes
• refactor: for code refactoring
• test: for adding or modifying tests
• chore: for maintenance tasks

Create Pull Requests:

• Create a new branch for each feature or fix
• Submit a pull request for review before merging to the main branch
