A well-structured production ready Next.js boilerplate with Typescript, Redux, Jest, Enzyme, Express.js, Sass, Css, EnvConfig, Fetch, Reverse Proxy, Bundle Analyzer and Built-in Project CLI. https://pankod.github.io/next-boilerplate/
A Next.js + TypeScript starter from Pankod that bundles Redux, Express, Sass, i18n, Storybook, Jest, and a code-generation CLI into one repo. It is effectively abandoned — the README's opening line tells you to use their replacement project, superplate, instead. The repo hasn't had a meaningful commit since 2023.
The code-generation CLI is the one genuinely useful idea here: running `npm run cli` scaffolds pages, components, actions, and reducers with tests and styles wired up, which saves real time on a new project. The folder structure is sensible and consistent — Actions, Components, Redux, Services each have their own tree with co-located specs. Storybook decorators for i18next and Redux providers are set up correctly, which is the fiddly part most people skip.
Redux is hardwired in as the state solution with no escape hatch — in 2026 this is a liability, not a feature; most teams reaching for a boilerplate would want React Query or Zustand instead. The Express custom server blocks you from using Next.js's built-in optimizations and the App Router entirely, meaning you're stuck on the Pages Router architecture. Dependencies haven't been kept up: the last push was August 2023 and there's no indication of Next.js 13/14/15 compatibility. Most importantly, the maintainers themselves are telling you not to use it.
