Next.js 16 SaaS Starter CLI

A powerful CLI tool to scaffold a production-ready Next.js 16 application with a robust stack pre-configured. Stop wasting time on setup and start building your product.

🚀 The Stack

This CLI generates a project with the following technologies pre-installed and configured:

• Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
• Language: TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS + Shadcn/UI
• Database (ORM): Prisma (PostgreSQL ready)
• Authentication: Clerk
• Testing: Cypress (E2E)

📦 Usage

You don't need to install anything globally. Just run the following command with npx:

npx @codecont/starter my-new-project

Or simply run it without arguments to start the interactive mode:

npx @codecont/starter

🛠️ Post-Installation Steps

Once the CLI finishes generating your project, follow these steps to get up and running:

1. Navigate to your project:

cd my-new-project

2. Environment Variables:

Rename .env.example to .env and fill in your keys:

• DATABASE_URL (Your PostgreSQL connection string)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY (From Clerk Dashboard)
• CLERK_SECRET_KEY (From Clerk Dashboard)

3. Database Setup:

Push the schema to your database:

npx prisma db push

4. Start the development server:

npm run dev
