3. Start Developing
You are now ready to start modifying the next-ui-template repo. You can get started by running the development server with npm run dev or looking at additional scripts in the Scripts section below.
Scripts
Below are each of the package.json scripts that the next-ui-template repo provides.
build
npm run build
This script uses next build to build the Next.js project for production. It compiles all necessary files, optimizes assets, and prepares the application for deployment.
build:analyze
npm run build:analyze
This script runs next build with the ANALYZE=true environment variable, enabling the bundle analyzer. It generates a visual report of the build, helping to identify and optimize large modules.
build-storybook
npm run build-storybook
This script uses storybook build to generate a static version of the project's Storybook instance. It compiles all UI components and their stories into a set of static files that can be deployed to any web server.
dev
npm run dev
This script starts the development server for the Next.js project using next dev. It watches for changes and hot-reloads the application, allowing for a smooth development experience.
docs
npm run docs
This command runs TypeDoc to generate HTML documentation for the TypeScript files located in the src directory. The documentation can be viewed by opening docs/index.html in a web browser.
format
npm run format
This script uses Prettier to check the formatting of all files in the project without making any changes. It ensures that your code follows consistent formatting rules, reporting any issues in the console.
format:fix
npm run format:fix
This script runs Prettier with the --write flag, automatically formatting and updating all files in the project to conform to the defined style guidelines.
lint
npm run lint
This script runs next lint, which uses ESLint to analyze the code for potential issues and enforce coding standards in both JavaScript and TypeScript files, including JSX and TSX files.
lint:fix
npm run lint:fix
Similar to the lint script, this command uses next lint --fix to analyze the code and automatically fix any issues that can be corrected, ensuring the codebase adheres to best practices.
lint-staged
npm run lint-staged
This script runs lint-staged to lint and format only the files that are staged for commit. It ensures that only properly formatted and linted code is committed to the repository.
prepare
npm run prepare
This script is executed automatically after package installation to set up Husky. Husky is used to configure Git hooks, such as pre-commit hooks, which can automate actions like linting and testing before commits are made.
start
npm run start
This script uses next start to run the Next.js application in production mode. It starts the server with the compiled output, making the app ready for deployment.
storybook
npm run storybook
This script starts the Storybook development server on port 6006 with storybook dev. It provides a live environment for developing and testing UI components in isolation.
test:e2e
npm run test:e2e
Runs end-to-end tests using the playwright test command. This script executes the Playwright test suite to verify that the application functions correctly across various browsers.
test:e2e:report
npm run test:e2e:report
Generates and displays the Playwright test report using the playwright show-report command. This script provides a visual summary of test results, making it easier to review outcomes and diagnose any issues encountered during the tests.
test:unit
npm run test:unit
Executes tests using Vitest, a versatile test runner for modern web applications.
test:unit:ci
npm run test:unit:ci
Runs tests in a continuous integration environment using vitest run. This command executes the tests without entering watch mode and exits once the test suite completes
test:unit:coverage
npm run test:unit:coverage
Runs tests with coverage analysis using vitest run --coverage, generating a detailed report of test coverage for the project. The coverage report can be viewed by opening coverage/index.html in a web browser.
