Nnextop / app
GitHub NPM

Getting Started

Scaffold a project

npx create-nextop-app my-app
# or with an explicit name prompt:
npx create-nextop-app

The CLI:

  1. Copies the default template into ./my-app.
  2. Rewrites package.json name to the project directory name.
  3. Runs npm install.

Flags

FlagDescription
[project-directory]Target directory (prompted if omitted).
--linkRuns npm link nextop-app before install to use a locally linked build of the library. Best-effort — silently continues with the registry version if no global link exists. Intended for NextOP development.

Run it

cd my-app
npm run dev      # nextop dev  → compiles Electron + launches the in-process Next dev server
npm run build    # nextop build → next build + Electron compile + electron-builder package

Stack of a freshly scaffolded app

Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, Electron 39, TypeScript 5, electron-builder 25.

The scaffolded app contains an app/ (Next.js App Router), an electron/ entry layer (main.ts, preload.ts, startNext.ts, types.d.ts), next.config.mjs at the project root, Tailwind v4, and TypeScript.
