And tailwind:)
This is something I built as I am new to NextJS, a NextJS app with its serverless backend with MongoDB. Kind of a template I can use for quickly bootstrap new NextJS projects. It also has Tailwind configured with Postcss:)
Clone/(Download as zip) this repo, then:
npm install
or
yarn install
When starting the dev server, pass an env. variable with the URI for the MongoDB connection.
MONGO_URI="my-mongodb-uri" npm run dev
Since serverless doesn't save variables after an api call, you need to create the connection inside each request, calling the function connectToDatabase that is inside utils.
And you are ready to go:)
(It has an example using Typescript with Mongoose models and in the api handlers)
