📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Project migration from Vite-based React setup to Next.js framework. Vite configuration, legacy entry points, and build tooling are replaced with Next.js conventions, including new app directory structure, layout/page components, and configuration files for Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and PostCSS. Dependencies and TypeScript configuration updated accordingly.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Next.js Core Configuration
next.config.ts, eslint.config.mjs, next-env.d.ts
New Next.js configuration files: base Next.js config with typed NextConfig, updated ESLint config for Next.js core Web Vitals and TypeScript with custom ignores, and Next.js type references.
Next.js App Structure
app/layout.tsx, app/page.tsx, app/globals.css
New app directory with root layout component (metadata, font setup, HTML scaffold), home page component with hero UI and CTAs, and global styles with Tailwind imports, CSS variables for theming, and dark mode support.
Styling & PostCSS Setup
postcss.config.mjs, tailwind.config.js
New PostCSS configuration with Tailwind plugin and Tailwind CSS configuration with content paths for app and components directories.
TypeScript Configuration
tsconfig.json, tsconfig.app.json, tsconfig.node.json
Root tsconfig expanded with Next.js compiler options, path aliases, and project structure; legacy app-specific and node-specific tsconfigs removed.
Dependency & Build Script Updates
package.json
Project name changed to temp-next, version bumped to 0.1.0. Scripts migrated from Vite (dev/build/preview) to Next.js (dev/build/start). Dependencies replaced: Vite removed, next/react 19.2.3 added. DevDependencies refactored: Tailwind, PostCSS, autoprefixer, and TypeScript ecosystem integrated; Vite tooling removed.
Removed Legacy Vite Setup
vite.config.ts, index.html, src/App.tsx, src/App.css, src/index.css, src/main.tsx, eslint.config.js, VERSION
Deletion of Vite configuration, static HTML bootstrap, legacy React entry point files, old ESLint configuration, and version file from previous Vite-based React setup.

🐰 From Vite's swift bundler we hop and take flight,
To Next.js pastures where routing feels right!
With Tailwind's colors and layouts so neat,
Our config files dance to the framework beat. 🚀

In `@app/globals.css`:
- Around line 22-26: The body rule in globals.css currently hardcodes "Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" which overrides the Geist font provided by next/font and
the className set in layout.tsx (mapped via `@theme` inline and the
--font-geist-sans CSS variable); update the body style to stop hardcoding system
fonts—either remove the font-family declaration entirely or replace it with the
Geist token/variable (e.g., use var(--font-geist-sans) or the Tailwind font
token you use elsewhere) so the font injected by layout.tsx is applied
site-wide.

In `@app/layout.tsx`:
- Around line 15-18: Update the placeholder site metadata by replacing the
default values in the exported constant metadata (export const metadata:
Metadata) — change the title and description fields from "Create Next App" and
"Generated by create next app" to the real project name and purpose (for example
"OrgExplorer" and a short description of the app) so the metadata accurately
represents the project.

In `@next-env.d.ts`:
- Around line 1-6: Add next-env.d.ts to .gitignore and remove the committed
next-env.d.ts from version control: update the repository's .gitignore to
include the entry "next-env.d.ts", then git rm --cached the existing
next-env.d.ts and commit that change so the file is no longer tracked; ensure no
code changes remain that import "./.next/dev/types/routes.d.ts" in tracked files
(the import in next-env.d.ts is the toggling line causing noise).

In `@package.json`:
- Around line 2-3: The package.json currently uses the scaffold placeholder
"temp-next" in the "name" field; update the "name" value to the real project
package name (e.g., "orgexplorer" or a valid kebab-case variant matching the
repository name) ensuring it is a valid npm package name (lowercase, no spaces,
only URL-safe characters) and save the change in package.json so tooling and
publishing reflect the correct project identity.

In `@tsconfig.json`:
- Line 14: The tsconfig currently sets the "jsx" option to "react-jsx", which
causes TypeScript to emit transformed JSX and conflicts with Next.js's
SWC/Turbopack pipeline; change the "jsx" compiler option value from "react-jsx"
to "preserve" so TypeScript leaves JSX untouched for Next.js to compile (update
the "jsx" property in tsconfig.json accordingly).
🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
package.json (2)

21-21: autoprefixer is unnecessary with Tailwind CSS v4.

Tailwind CSS v4 uses Lightning CSS under the hood, which handles vendor prefixing automatically. Since you're already using @tailwindcss/postcss, autoprefixer is redundant and can be removed.

🧹 Proposed fix
     "@tailwindcss/postcss": "^4",
     "@types/node": "^20",
     "@types/react": "^19",
     "@types/react-dom": "^19",
-    "autoprefixer": "^10.4.24",
     "eslint": "^9",

12-14: Consider using ^ for core dependencies to receive patch updates.

next, react, and react-dom are pinned to exact versions while all dev dependencies use ^ ranges. Exact pinning is fine if intentional, but using ^ (e.g., "next": "^16.1.6") would allow automatic patch-level bug fixes and security updates without manual bumps.

tailwind.config.js (1)

1-11: This v3-style config file is unused with Tailwind CSS v4.

The project uses Tailwind CSS v4.1.18, which uses CSS-first configuration and automatic content detection. The @import "tailwindcss" in globals.css already sets up Tailwind v4 correctly. This JS config file (content, theme, plugins) follows the v3 pattern and is not consumed by the v4 engine unless explicitly imported via @config in CSS.

Consider removing this file to avoid confusion — all theming is already handled by @theme inline in globals.css, and content paths are auto-detected.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Hardcoded font-family on body overrides the Geist font setup.

Line 25 sets font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, which will take precedence over the Geist fonts configured via next/font in layout.tsx and mapped through @theme inline on Line 11. The Geist CSS variables (--font-geist-sans) injected by the layout's className won't be used for body text.

Consider removing the hardcoded font-family or using the Tailwind token instead:

Proposed fix
 body {
   background: var(--background);
   color: var(--foreground);
-  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
+  font-family: var(--font-geist-sans), Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Update placeholder metadata.

The title and description still contain the default create-next-app scaffolding text. Update these to reflect the actual project name and purpose (e.g., "OrgExplorer") before merging.

next-env.d.ts gitignore Next.js auto-generated

💡 Result:

next-env.d.ts is a Next.js auto-generated TypeScript declaration file placed in your project root so TypeScript picks up Next.js types (e.g., for images/styles and Next.js-specific globals). It is regenerated when you run next dev, next build, or next typegen, so don’t edit it—your changes will be overwritten. [1]

Git strategy (what to do): Next.js’ current docs recommend adding next-env.d.ts to .gitignore (i.e., don’t commit it). [1]

Add this line to .gitignore:

next-env.d.ts

If you need custom global types, put them in a separate .d.ts file (e.g. new-types.d.ts) and include that in tsconfig.json, rather than modifying next-env.d.ts. [1]

Sources:
[1] Next.js TypeScript docs (next-env.d.ts section) https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript


next-env.d.ts should not be committed — add it to .gitignore.

This file is regenerated on each next dev, next build, or next typegen run. The Next.js docs recommend adding next-env.d.ts to your .gitignore file.

Additionally, the import line toggles between .next/dev/types/routes.d.ts and .next/types/routes.d.ts depending on whether you ran next dev vs next build, resulting in persistent Git changes and noise in commits.

Add to .gitignore:

next-env.d.ts

Then remove this file from version control.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

"jsx" should be "preserve", not "react-jsx".

Next.js handles JSX transformation via its own compiler (SWC/Turbopack). Setting "jsx": "react-jsx" tells TypeScript to transform JSX itself, which conflicts with Next.js's build pipeline. This is likely a leftover from the previous Vite setup.
