Project Structure

/app
  /api
    /hello
      route.ts          # Example API route
  layout.tsx            # Root layout (Geist font)
  page.tsx              # Home page
  globals.css           # Global styles (Tailwind v4)
next.config.ts          # Next.js configuration
postcss.config.mjs      # PostCSS configuration
tsconfig.json           # TypeScript configuration
package.json            # Dependencies

API Routes

Create new API routes in /app/api/. Example:

// app/api/users/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export async function GET() {
  return NextResponse.json({ users: [] });
}

Server Actions

Mutate data directly from components:

async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  "use server";
  // runs on the server
}

Styling

This template uses Tailwind CSS v4 with the new @import "tailwindcss" syntax. Add custom styles in app/globals.css or use Tailwind utilities directly in your components.
