In plain English

This repository holds the starter code and completed example projects that accompany the official Next.js learning courses on the Next.js website. Next.js is a framework for building websites and web apps using React. The repository covers three courses: one focused on the newer App Router approach along with data fetching, databases, and user authentication, one covering the basics and TypeScript, and one about search engine optimization. Each course has both a starting template learners use at the beginning and a finished version they can compare their work against. The course content itself is not stored here and is not open source, but the code for the example applications built during the courses lives in this repository. Vercel, the company behind Next.js, welcomes contributions to the example code and accepts bug reports through the issue tracker.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I'm following the Next.js learn course and I'm on the chapter about data fetching. Show me how to fetch data from a Postgres database in a Next.js Server Component using the pattern from the course.

Prompt 2

Using the next-learn financial dashboard as a reference, show me how to add a login page with NextAuth.js and protect routes from unauthenticated users.

Prompt 3

Based on the Next.js learn course project, how do I create a form that submits data to a Server Action and updates a Postgres database without using a separate API route?

Prompt 4

I cloned the next-learn repo. Walk me through setting up the local Postgres database and running the seed script so the dashboard has data to display.
