Elevate Your NextJS Project with Mantine: Introducing the Mantine NextJS App Router + Nextra Template

The Mantine NextJS App Router + Nextra Template is an outstanding resource for developers looking to harness the power of the Mantine UI library, the NextJS framework, and the Nextra documentation template. This combination delivers a robust platform for building responsive, modern, and accessible websites efficiently.

Simplified Development with Pre-configured Tools

This template is not just a basic starting point; it's a comprehensive solution that integrates various development tools and setups to streamline your project workflow. It's built on top of the Mantine NextJS app-router template, which you can find here, and extends its capabilities significantly.

Key Features

  • PostCSS with mantine-postcss-preset: Leverages the power of PostCSS along with presets tailored for Mantine, ensuring that your CSS is both powerful and manageable.
  • TypeScript: Utilizes TypeScript to enhance your development experience with static type-checking, reducing bugs and improving code readability.
  • Storybook: Integrated Storybook setup allows you to develop and test UI components in isolation, making it easier to build beautiful UIs without worrying about the underlying business logic.
  • Jest and React Testing Library: Comes with a pre-configured Jest environment using the React Testing Library to help you write and run tests efficiently, ensuring your application is robust and error-free.
  • ESLint and Prettier: These tools are configured out-of-the-box to help maintain code quality and consistency across your project.

Enhanced Documentation and Theme Consistency

One of the standout features of this template is its dual focus on application development and documentation. Using Nextra v4, it provides a ready-to-use boilerplate that includes:

  • Nextra documentation site with a Mantine theme: Seamlessly integrates the documentation with your application's look and feel.

  • Sync Dark mode between documentation and application: Ensures a consistent user experience across both the application and the documentation site, managing Dark mode settings between Nextra and Mantine effortlessly.

Customization and Flexibility

The template is designed with customization in mind:

  • Customizable components: The ⁠components folder contains shared components that you can use and adapt for both the application and the documentation.

  • New Navigation and Footer components: Specifically designed for the Nextra documentation site, enhancing the overall user experience and site navigation.

Ready-to-Use Scripts

To further simplify your development process, the template includes a variety of npm scripts:

  • Development and build scripts: From starting a dev server (⁠dev) to bundling your application for production (⁠build).

  • Testing and linting scripts: Comprehensive scripts like ⁠jest, ⁠lint, and ⁠typecheck to ensure your code is clean and error-free.

  • Storybook integration: Run and build Storybook with dedicated scripts (⁠storybook and ⁠storybook:build).
