⚡ Tigris and Next.js starter template

Tigris is a fully-managed developer data platform that offers a suite of databases and data services with a code-first approach, empowering you to build responsive applications without the hassle of infrastructure management and scaling complexities.

  • Database: A fully-managed, serverless document database designed to run applications at any scale. Offers native support for global transactions, high availability, fault tolerance, data security and database branching.
  • Search: A unified, fully-managed platform that combines database, full-text search and sync mechanism providing the easiest way to build search capabilities into applications.

To learn more about Tigris, see tigrisdata.com.

This template creates a simple todo app built on Next.js and Tigris and deployed on Vercel.

Project demo

https://tigris-nextjs-starter-kit.vercel.app/

⚙️ Deploying the app

All you need is a Github, Vercel and Tigris account(sign up for a free account). Now, Hit "Deploy" and follow instructions to deploy app to your Vercel account

:tada: All done. You should be able to use app on the URL provided by Vercel. Feel free to play around or do a code walkthrough next :tada:

Tigris integration with Vercel will automatically fetch access keys to populate Environment Variables when deploying app.

📖 Running Next.js server & Tigris locally

Prerequisites

  1. Tigris installed on your dev computer
    1. For macOS: brew install tigrisdata/tigris/tigris-cli
    2. Other operating systems: See installation instructions here
  2. Node.js version 16+

Instructions

  1. Clone this repo on your computer
git clone https://github.com/tigrisdata/tigris-vercel-starter
  1. Install dependencies
cd tigris-vercel-starter
npm install
  1. Start Tigris local development environment
tigris dev start
  1. Run the Next.js server
npm run dev

Note: This step will also initialize Tigris project and collections for app.

:tada: All done. You should be able to use app on localhost:3000 in browser. Feel free to play around or do a code walk-through next :tada:

db/models/todoItems.ts - The to-do list app has a single collection todoItems that stores the to-do items. This Collection gets automatically created/updated by the setup script.

lib/tigris.ts - Loads the environment variables you specified previously in creating a Vercel project section and uses them to configure the Tigris client.

All the Next.js API routes are defined under pages/api/. We have three files exposing endpoints:

pages/api/items/index.ts
  • GET /api/items to get an array of to-do items as Array
  • POST /api/items to add an item to the list
/pages/api/items/search.ts
  • GET /api/items/search?q=query to find and return items matching the given query
pages/api/item/[id].ts
  • GET /api/item/{id} to fetch an item
  • PUT /api/item/{id} to update the given item
  • DELETE /api/item/[id] to delete an item

🚀 Next steps

In a few steps, we learnt how to bootstrap a Next.js app using Tigris and deploy it on Vercel. Feel free to add more functionalities or customize App for your use-case and learn more about Tigris.
