Configuration

Each project typically uses environment variables and configuration files for setup.

Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the project root:


cp .env.example .env.local

Edit the file with your specific values:


# API Keys
API_KEY=your_api_key_here
DATABASE_URL=your_database_url

# App Config
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000

Never commit .env.local to version control. It’s already included in .gitignore by default.

Most projects include a config file at the root:


// config.ts
export const config = {
  siteName: 'My Project',
  siteUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL,
  // Add project-specific config here
}

All projects use TypeScript with strict mode enabled. The tsconfig.json is pre-configured with sensible defaults.

Tailwind is included in most frontend projects. Customize the theme in the CSS or config file as needed.
