Nextjs Fsd Starter

Next.js FSD Starter

Create a production-ready Next.js project with FSD architecture and modern tooling.

Stack

• Next.js (latest, App Router)
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• ESLint (flat config) with FSD rules
• Prettier
• Husky (pre-commit lint)
• pnpm
• date-fns (date utilities)
• zustand (state management)
• es-toolkit (modern lodash alternative)
• react-hook-form (form handling)
• tw-animate-css (Tailwind animations)
• lucide-react (icons)
• @radix-ui (headless UI primitives)
• tailwind-merge (class merging)
• clsx (conditional classes)
• zod (schema validation)
• @tanstack/react-query (data fetching)

Setup Process

1. Create Next.js Project

pnpm create next-app@latest <project-name> --typescript --tailwind --eslint --app --src-dir --import-alias "@/*" --use-pnpm
cd <project-name>

2. Install Dependencies

# Dev dependencies
pnpm add -D prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier husky lint-staged prettier-plugin-tailwindcss

# ESLint 9 dependencies
pnpm add -D @eslint/js typescript-eslint eslint-plugin-react-hooks @next/eslint-plugin-next eslint-import-resolver-typescript eslint-plugin-import

# React Compiler
pnpm add -D babel-plugin-react-compiler eslint-plugin-react-compiler

# Runtime dependencies
pnpm add date-fns zustand es-toolkit react-hook-form tw-animate-css lucide-react tailwind-merge clsx zod @hookform/resolvers @tanstack/react-query @tanstack/react-query-devtools

# Radix UI primitives
pnpm add @radix-ui/react-dialog @radix-ui/react-popover @radix-ui/react-tooltip @radix-ui/react-select @radix-ui/react-checkbox @radix-ui/react-slot @radix-ui/react-tabs

3. Enable React Compiler

Update next.config.ts to enable React Compiler:

import type { NextConfig } from "next";

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: true,
};

export default nextConfig;

4. Create FSD Directory Structure

Copy assets/fsd-structure/ to src/ directory. The structure uses .gitkeep files to preserve empty folders in git.

5. Apply Configuration Files

Copy these config files from assets/configs/ to project root:

• eslint.config.mjs - ESLint flat config with FSD rules
• .prettierrc - Prettier config
• .prettierignore - Prettier ignore patterns

6. Update src/app/globals.css

Replace content with assets/configs/globals.css (shadcn-compatible with light/dark mode).

7. Setup Husky

pnpm exec husky init

Replace .husky/pre-commit content with:

pnpm lint-staged

8. Update package.json

Add these scripts and lint-staged config:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "next lint",
    "lint:fix": "next lint --fix",
    "format": "prettier --write .",
    "format:check": "prettier --check ."
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}": ["eslint --fix", "prettier --write"],
    "*.{json,md,css}": ["prettier --write"]
  }
}

9. Create CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md

Copy assets/configs/CLAUDE.md to project root as both CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md.

10. Update tsconfig.json paths

Ensure these path aliases exist:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"],
      "@/shared": ["./src/shared"],
      "@/shared/server": ["./src/shared/server"],
      "@/entities/*": ["./src/entities/*"],
      "@/features/*": ["./src/features/*"],
      "@/widgets/*": ["./src/widgets/*"],
      "@/views/*": ["./src/views/*"]
    }
  }
}

11. Final Verification

pnpm lint
pnpm format:check

12. Format Project

Run the formatter to ensure all generated and copied files follow the project style.

pnpm format
pnpm lint:fix

FSD Layer Overview

Slice Internal Structure

Each slice (entities, features, widgets, views) has the following internal structure:

<slice-name>/
├── index.ts      # Public API (barrel file)
├── api/          # API calls, server actions
├── model/        # Types, validation schemas, default values
├── ui/           # React components
├── lib/          # Utilities, custom hooks
└── config/       # Slice-specific configuration

Directory Purposes

Shared Layer Structure

shared/
├── index.ts      # Main barrel (client-safe exports)
├── server.ts     # Server-only exports
├── api/          # Shared API utilities (fetch wrapper, etc.)
├── config/       # Global configuration
├── lib/          # Utilities (cn, formatters, etc.)
├── model/        # Shared types, validation schemas
└── ui/           # Common UI components (Button, Input, etc.)

Barrel File Convention

• shared/index.ts - Main barrel for shared (client-safe exports)
• shared/server.ts - Server-only exports (use "use server" or server components)
• Other layers: <layer>/<slice>/index.ts (e.g., features/auth/index.ts)
