This project was created and bootstrapped using nextjs with typescript
npm install && npm start
The solution is a isomorphic frontend application that has a server side and a client side developed in just few hours (roughly 4) with a much more focus on the user experience rather than DX.
1- server side
Also includes an endpoint to jokes endpoints, since the random jokes can't return
10 jokes, the endpoiunt act as a wrapper with Promise.all
2- client side Fetches the jokes from the endpoint display them with a timer that is initially paused and can fetch a joke every 5 seconds. A possibiblity to bookmark jokes and store them in the local storage of the client browser.
3- Deployment with ci/cd
a sample github action is under .github/ folder to deploy the project to vercel
it isn't really deploying anything at the moment, to deploy the project we can replace the secrets with real values.
This is a really simple project that shows the usage of Next.js with TypeScript.
Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz
Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-typescript with-typescript-appyarn create next-app --example with-typescript with-typescript-apppnpm create next-app --example with-typescript with-typescript-appDeploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
This example shows how to integrate the TypeScript type system into Next.js. Since TypeScript is supported out of the box with Next.js, all we have to do is to install TypeScript.
npm install --save-dev typescript
To enable TypeScript's features, we install the type declarations for React and Node.
npm install --save-dev @types/react @types/react-dom @types/node
When we run next dev the next time, Next.js will start looking for any .ts or .tsx files in our project and builds it. It even automatically creates a tsconfig.json file for our project with the recommended settings.
Next.js has built-in TypeScript declarations, so we'll get autocompletion for Next.js' modules straight away.
A type-check script is also added to package.json, which runs TypeScript's tsc CLI in noEmit mode to run type-checking separately. You can then include this, for example, in your test scripts.
