Next.js Project Setup and Explanation

This project was bootstrapped with create-next-app and uses the powerful framework Next.js for building server-side rendered React applications. In addition to getting started quickly, this setup provides an optimized development experience with automatic hot-reloading and file-based routing.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally.

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the project to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/ariebrainware/basis-data-ltt-fe.git
cd basis-data-ltt-fe

2. Install Dependencies

Install the project dependencies using your preferred package manager:

npm install
# or
yarn install
# or
pnpm install
# or
bun install

3. Start the Development Server

4. Editing and Automatic Reload

The main page is located at app/page.tsx. Any changes you make will automatically reload the page, thanks to Next.js's hot-reload feature.

Explanation of the Setup and Method

Project Bootstrapping with create-next-app

• Scaffolding: The project was initialized using create-next-app, which sets up a minimal, yet functional, Next.js project with sensible defaults.
• File-based Routing: Next.js uses the file system to automatically build routes for your application, making it easy to manage and scale.
• Optimized Fonts: This project utilizes next/font to automatically load and optimize fonts like Geist, ensuring performance and design consistency.

Advanced Features

• Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Next.js supports SSR, which can improve performance and SEO for your application.
• Static Generation: With static generation, pages can be pre-rendered at build time, reducing load times.
• API Routes: Next.js allows for the creation of backend API endpoints within the same project structure, facilitating a full-stack approach.
