This is a Next.js v12 project with TailwindCSS and Redis using Redis OM, ready to be instantly deployed to Netlify!

This project is a very minimal starter that includes 3 sample components, a global stylesheet, a netlify.toml for deployment, a jsconfig.json for setting up absolute imports and aliases, and postcss.config.js and tailwind.config.js files for configuring Tailwind. It also includes the Essential Next.js Build Plugin, which will allow for you to implement features like Preview Mode, server-side rendering/incremental static regeneration via Netlify Functions, and internationalized routing.

(If you click this button, it will create a new repo for you that looks exactly like this one, and sets that repo up immediately for deployment on Netlify)

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Option one: One-click deploy

Option two: Manual clone

1. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/netlify-templates/next-netlify-starter.git
2. Navigate to the directory and run npm install
3. Run npm run dev
4. Make your changes
5. Connect to Netlify manually (the netlify.toml file is the one you'll need to make sure stays intact to make sure the export is done and pointed to the right stuff)

You will find a .env.example file in the root of the project. Copy it to .env.local and fill in the value for your Redis connection string. When you deploy, you will also need to configure your environment variables for your Netlify environnment.

Note: If you are using a localhost Redis this app is configured to connect to "redis://localhost:6379" by default

This app uses Redis OM, which will automatically setup indexes for you in Redis. In the server/redis.js you will find a commented-out line:

await repository.createIndex();

When you first start the app, you will need to create the index by uncommenting this line and searching. After that point you can comment this line again and the index will be maintained.

The app is a very basic Redis cache app. It allows you to see the performance increase you can achieve when you use Redis as a cache. It does this using the GitHub API. You can search for repositories, and it will first check Redis to see if the repository is already in the cache. If it is, it will return the cached data. If not, it will fetch the data from GitHub and store it in Redis. It also tracks the performance of both operations and shows it to you.

Redis OM is used to store the data on your behalf. While you do not need to worry about the specific commands used to store the data, the following commands are used:

• FT.CREATE: Used to create indexes for Redis Search
• HSET: Used to set a hash of the GitHub repository data

Redis OM is used to fetch the data on your behalf. While you do not need to worry about the specific commands used to fetch the data, the following commands are used:

• FT.SEARCH: Used to search for existing repositories in the cache
