Next.js v15 & Tailwind CSS

Next.js v15 & Tailwind CSS guide for Trezo.

Overview

Next.js v15 paired with MUI (Material-UI) React offers a powerful setup for building scalable, responsive web applications with a smooth developer experience. Here’s an overview of what makes this combination effective:

  1. Next.js v15 Enhancements
  • App Router: Streamlined routing for easier page and component structure, allowing nested layouts and API routes to be managed in one framework.
  • Performance Optimizations: Includes optimizations like faster page transitions, automatic image optimization, and built-in caching, making apps load faster.
  • React Server Components: Supports seamless server and client-side rendering, with reduced loading times and lower data transfer requirements.
  • Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR): Enables pages to update without requiring a full rebuild, enhancing flexibility for content-heavy apps.
  • Enhanced TypeScript Support: First-class TypeScript integration for type-safe code, minimizing runtime errors.

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a modern utility-first CSS framework designed to streamline front-end development by providing a vast library of low-level, customizable utility classes. Unlike traditional CSS frameworks that come with predefined components, Tailwind offers a more flexible approach, allowing developers to style elements directly in HTML. Each utility class in Tailwind serves a single purpose, such as setting colors, padding, margins, shadows, and typography, enabling fast prototyping and consistent, responsive designs.

With a focus on efficiency and ease of customization, Tailwind encourages developers to create unique interfaces without writing extensive custom CSS. Its utility-based approach minimizes CSS bloat, while configuration options and plugins allow seamless theming, dark mode support, and integration with other tools like PostCSS or PurgeCSS for optimal performance in production.

Tailwind CSS is perfect for building modern, responsive websites with minimal styling overhead and full design control right in your markup.

Setup Development Environment

To kickstart the development of the web app with Trezo, at first need to setup the react development environment.

  • Node.js and NPM: If NodeJS is not installed then download it from https://nodejs.org. NPM comes bundled with Node.js

NPM Packages

  • Before proceding you'll need to install npm packages. You can do this by running npm install from the root of your project to install all the necessary dependencies.

Development Server

  • Run npm run dev for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:3000. The app will autometically reload if you change any of the source files.

Building

  • Run npm run build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the .next/ directory. More Help: Deploying

  • For Static Exports: Run npm run build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the out/ directory. More Help: Static Exports

Local Environment Installation

Open the react-nextjs-tailwindcss folder in Visual Studio Code and open a terminal on that folder and run these commands one by one.

1. npm install
2. npm run dev
3. Go To http://localhost:3000
