Hey! Welcome to Nexset! 👋

Let's dive into this powerful boilerplate that will help you build and launch your startup efficiently.

How to start a local server

1. Download the repository from the dashboard after purchase.

2. Open the repository in your code editor and run the following commands:

cd [YOUR_APP_NAME]
npm install
npm run dev

Nexset requires Node 20 or greater. Type node -v in your terminal to check version.

3. Rename .env.example to .env.local

mv .env.example .env.local

4. Open http://localhost:3000 to see your site. And voila!

You will see errors in the console but nothing important.

NextJS project structure

• 1

  📁 /app → Pages (1 folder + page.tsx = 1 page)

• 2

  📁 /app/api → API calls (1 file = 1 API endpoint)

• 3

  📁 /components → React components

• 4

  📁 /layouts → Wrappers for pages

• 5

  📁 /libs → Libraries helper functions (Stripe, Resend, auth etc.)

• 6

  📁 /models → Database models

• 7

  📁 /utils → Additional helpers

config.ts file

It is where you configure your app. Each key is documented to know how and why it's used. Have a thorough look at it: it is the backbone of the app.

.env file

Rename the .env.example file to .env.local. Change NEXTAUTH_SECRET to anything else (15 characters minimum). The file content should look like this:

NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:3000
RESEND_API_KEY=
MONGODB_URI=
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY=
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
UPLOADTHING_TOKEN=
