Migrate Codebase from Astro to Next.js 14

[rohankumarchaudhary67]

We need to migrate your current codebase from Astro to Next.js 14 due to several advantages that Next.js offers for your use case. Here are the main reasons for the migration:

• Full-Stack Capabilities: Next.js provides server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and client-side rendering, making it a versatile choice for our dynamic application needs.
• Built-in Features: Next.js comes with a lot of built-in features like API routes, image optimization, and incremental static regeneration, which can simplify development and improve performance.
• Strong Ecosystem: Next.js has a strong community and ecosystem, with plenty of plugins, examples, and resources, which will support our development efforts.

Tasks:

• Set up a new Next.js 14 project.
• Migrate the current Astro components to Next.js.
• Convert Astro pages to Next.js pages.
• Adjust component structure and imports.
• Implement server-side rendering (SSR) or static site generation (SSG) where applicable.
• Replace any Astro-specific features with their Next.js equivalents.
• Test all functionalities to ensure parity with the current Astro implementation.
• Optimize the Next.js setup for performance and best practices.
• Update documentation to reflect the new setup.
• Perform a thorough code review and testing before merging the changes.

This migration is crucial to leverage Next.js's full-stack capabilities, built-in features, and strong ecosystem, which will support your current and future project needs.

@rohankumarchaudhary67 @JacobZwang I am willing to work on this. But when i tried to run this code locally I am running into error as shown in the image below. I even tried running it on Stack Blitz but the error is produced. Can you please help me with this. Thank you.

Hey @Shan006 did you face the same error as the one I mentioned above. If yes, can you please help me set this up locally.

[Shan006]

Run these commands 1) npm i (to install dependencies) 2) npx astro dev (to start the development server)

This creates a simple todo application. But I believe we need to convert the whole website into nextjs
