Getting Started with Next.js and TypeScript

Introduction to Next.js

Next.js is a React framework that enables server-side rendering and static site generation, which are essential for building modern web applications.

Why Use Next.js?

Next.js provides many benefits out of the box, including:

Server-side rendering for better SEO

Setting Up TypeScript

TypeScript brings type safety to your JavaScript code, helping you catch errors early and improve developer experience.

// Example TypeScript component
interface Props {
  title: string;
  count: number;
}

const MyComponent: React.FC<Props> = ({ title, count }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

TypeScript is JavaScript that scales. It adds optional static typing to the language, catching errors before they reach runtime.
