Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Direct, fact-dense answers about architecture, styling, testing, and AI search optimization.

What makes NextJS Starter different from other templates?

NextJS Starter is engineered for React 19 and Next.js 16 with pure React Server Components by default, Tailwind CSS v4's CSS-first theme engine, unstyled accessible Base UI primitives, an automated Vitest test suite, and built-in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) with llms.txt and Schema.org structured data.

How does Tailwind CSS v4 work in this starter?

Tailwind CSS v4 replaces JavaScript configuration with CSS-first directives via @theme inline in globals.css. It natively supports OKLCH color spaces, CSS custom variants for dark mode, container queries, and tw-animate-css without requiring a tailwind.config.js file.

How do I add new shadcn/ui components?

Run `pnpm dlx shadcn add <component-name>` in your terminal. Newly installed components automatically integrate with the configured base-nova design tokens, `@base-ui/react` primitives, and `@/lib/utils` class merging.

What testing framework is pre-configured?

The starter comes pre-configured with Vitest, focusing on fast, pure unit testing of decoupled business logic, custom hooks, SEO schema builders, environment helpers, and utility functions without fragile UI rendering tests.

Is this starter optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. The starter includes a public/llms.txt manifest, structured SoftwareApplication and FAQPage JSON-LD schema, 100% server-rendered static HTML, and explicitly configured AI crawler directives in robots.ts.
