Next.js generator (TypeScript)

[mathieusouflis]

Problem statement

Next.js is the most widely used React framework. Starting a Next.js project with a clean structure, proper TypeScript config, and a chosen architecture pattern requires significant manual setup.

Proposed solution

Implement NextJSGenerator in generators/typescript/nextjs.go.

• Name(): "ts-nextjs"
• Language(): "typescript"
• Modules(): ["nextjs"]

Apply() generates:

• package.json, tsconfig.json, next.config.ts
• App Router structure (app/layout.tsx, app/page.tsx, app/loading.tsx)
• public/ directory
• File structure under src/ varies by spec.Config.FrontendArchitecture

Router choice (App Router vs Pages Router) asked at dot init.

Commands: new page <name>, new component <name>, new api-route <name>

Alternatives considered

Use create-next-app under the hood. Rejected — same reason as other generators.

Area

Core

Additional context

Uses static composition with TypeScript frontend architecture generators based on spec.Config.FrontendArchitecture. Depends on: TypeScript architecture generators.
