Amplify + Typescript Template

Template repository for AWS Amplify apps using Typescript and NextJS

Overview

Run fast with a new AWS Amplify project using a quick and dirty TypeScript stack! Really built for single page web apps, but do with this what you want.

Stack

• Frontend
  • NextJS
  • React
  • SASS
  • TypeScript
• Testing
  • AVA (test runner)
  • XO (code linting)
  • stylelint (SASS linting)

How to use

1. Create a new repository using this as a template
2. npm i to get the dependencies installed
3. Modify the package.json and this readme to fit your project
4. Run the local build with npm run dev! (App will start on port 4000)
5. Deploy your app on Amplify! See their docs for more information on your specific deployment strategy.

Q + A

Why AVA? Why not Jest?

• Personal preference. I find Jest clunky in comparison, but it has its merits. Feel free to swap it out.

Why use such a strict linter?

• I like clean code, and personally it forces me to write more readable code. The style is automagically enforced by Prettier anyways.
