PROJECT-STRUCTURE

Next.js project structure separates app routes, API endpoints, library utilities, and tests into distinct directories. This Skill provides a scalable layout with clear conventions for App Router, Server Components, and Prisma ORM integration, enabling maintainable codebases as your application grows.

Consistent naming conventions ensure scalability and readability across your Next.js codebase. This Skill covers recommended patterns for components, pages, and API routes that align with App Router standards and TypeScript strictness, reducing friction when onboarding developers.

Modern Next.js projects require coordinated tooling configuration across tsconfig.json, eslint.config.mjs, and Tailwind CSS v4. This Skill integrates these configurations with mise.toml for reproducible environments and strict type safety enforcement throughout your project.

Yes. Next.js 16 with React 19 enables Server Components for direct database queries via Prisma ORM, eliminating unnecessary API layers. This Skill demonstrates server-first design patterns and performance optimization strategies that leverage these capabilities together.

Vitest integrates with Next.js project layouts for fast, type-safe unit and integration testing. This Skill covers test directory organization and configuration aligned with your App Router structure, supporting code quality improvements and confidence in refactoring.

Separation of concerns improves maintainability, testing, and collaboration. Distinct directories for API routes, application pages, shared libraries, and tests clarify ownership and dependencies, making your Next.js codebase easier to navigate and modify as it scales.
