Request for Next.js Support with DFX

Developers JavaScript
1

Given that Next.js is frontend-centric and the IC supports Rust, Azle, Motoko, and Kybra for backend logic, incorporating Next.js into dfx could bridge the gap between frontend and backend development on the IC. This would cater to projects that prefer Next.js’s robust frontend capabilities alongside the powerful backend canister implementations of the IC.

Would this be a feasible enhancement for dfx?

@kpeacock how hard do you think it would be to add next.js to the default templates?

This would be supremely useful

Not terribly. It’s just a matter of running create-next-app and then re-using the dfx React frontend with it
