Next.js

Quick start

tinkerise web next my-next-app --typescript --tailwind --eslint

tinkerise web next my-next-app --no-install --package-manager pnpm

When to use

Use next when you want:

• React Server Components and file-based routing
• Built-in API routes and full-stack patterns
• A single framework for app UI and backend endpoints

Prerequisites

• Node.js >=20.9.0
• npx available in your Node install

Framework-specific behavior

• tinkerise delegates to create-next-app.
• --yes is auto-injected so all scaffolding runs non-interactively. Options not explicitly passed use create-next-app defaults, including AGENTS.md in current v16.2+ releases.
• Registry version mappings handle create-next-app flag changes automatically (v14, v15+, v16.0-v16.1, v16.2+).
• Pass-through args are enabled, so native flags still work.

Generated output

You get the official Next.js scaffold output, including:

• app/ or src/app/ route structure (depending on options)
• Next.js config, TypeScript config, and package scripts
• Optional Tailwind and ESLint setup based on selected flags
