Next.js + Styled Components Skeleton Boilerplate

I grew tired of setting up a project each time I wanted to build something new so I made this boilerplate. Very much a work in progress.

Includes:

• CSS Reset
• Mini Theme config - [styles/theme.styled.js]
• Working with Google Fonts
• Absolute imports (@components, @utils, @theme, etc.)
• Storybook - v6.5.16 (working with theme config/@imports/styled-components)
• React - v18.2.0
• Next.js - v13.1.6
• Styled Components - v5.3.3
• Jest - 29.4.2
• React Testing Library - 13.4.0

CSS Reset

Mini Theme config

styles/theme.styled.js

export const colors = {
	primary: "#3E71F4",
	secondary: "#4C956C",
	tertiary: "#4C956C",
};

components/Footer/Footer.styled.js

import styled from "styled-components";
import { colors } from "styles/theme.styled";

export const Logo = styled.a`
	color: ${colors.primary};
`;

Absolute imports (@components, @utils, etc.)

jsconfig.json

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"baseUrl": ".",
		"module": "commonjs",
		"target": "es6",
		"moduleResolution": "node",
		"paths": {
			"@components": ["./components/index"],
			"@utils": ["./utils/index"],
			"@theme": ["./styles/theme.styled.js"]
		}
	},
	"exclude": ["node_modules", "/.next"]
}

Example:

import { Header, Footer } from "@components";

Jest / React Testing Library

import React from "react";
import { render, cleanup } from "@testing-library/react";
import Button from "./Button";
import { colors } from "@theme";

describe("Button", () => {
	test("renders with primary prop and styles", () => {
		const { getByText } = render(<Button primary>Primary</Button>);

		expect(getByText("Primary")).toBeInTheDocument();

		expect(getByText("Primary")).toHaveStyle(`
    		background-color: ${colors.primary};
    		color: ${colors.white};
    	`);
	});
});
