The best way to setup an
opinionated, full-stack, typesafe Next.js project

What is this? Some kinda template?

Kind of. We love all of the technologies that create-t3-app includes - check out init.tips for even more info on topics such as state management and deployment - but we do not believe these are needed on every project.

So we made create-t3-app to do one thing: Simplify complex boilerplate around the core T3 Stack tech without compromising the pieces modularity. This is NOT an all-inclusive template and we expect you to bring your own libraries as well.

Libraries that work

Without the complex setup

create-t3-app gives you the option to install libraries that you need without the hassle of scaffolding it all yourself.

Next.js

Next.js

We love React. It has made UI development accessible in ways we never imagined before. It also can lead developers down some rough paths. Next.js offers a lightly opinionated, heavily optimized approach to creating a website using React. From routing to API definitions to image rendering, we trust Next.js to lead developers towards good decisions.

Typescript

Typescript

Javascript is hard. Why add more rules? We firmly believe the experience TypeScript provides will help you be a better developer, regardless of where you are in your career as an engineer. Whether you're new to web development or a seasoned pro, the "strictness" of TypeScript will provide a less frustrating, more consistent experience than vanilla JS.

tRPC

If you use TypeScript on both the frontend and backend, you should use tRPC to infer types to create a full stack type-safe API. It can be used in place or alongside Next.js' API routes, or as a standalone server.

Finally had the chance to play with @trpcio and it's scary how easy it makes to make your data flow, with full type safety and backend validation. With create-t3-app and @supabase, I was able to create a simple to-do app with auth in less than 3 hours, scary.

Now that Blitz.js has pivoted and Bison has stagnated, create-t3-app will be the only framework to give Redwood a run for its money in the quest to build a legitimate fullstack React framework.
