Next.js + Playwright + GitHub Actions Boilerplate

A comprehensive Todo app with APIs and E2E tests with GitHub Actions enabled. See the repository:...

This project provides a comprehensive boilerplate for building a modern, feature-rich Todo app using a combination of Next.js, Playwright, GitHub Actions, and Foresight. The app is designed to demonstrate the ease and efficiency of integrating various technologies into an end-to-end (E2E) testing stack.

The serverless Next.js app includes Playwright for cross-platform browser testing, which is easy to set up and lightweight. GitHub Actions serve as a free CI/CD pipeline, automating tests on every commit and pull request utilizing its 2000 free minutes of execution time.

The setup guide outlined includes initializing Playwright and creating basic test suites that verify the functionality of adding and completing Todo items. Tests are run using GitHub Actions, generating JUnit-style XML reports for monitoring purposes.

Foresight complements the stack by providing insights into test and CI/CD performance, especially helpful when faced with failures. It's free for open-source projects and offers features like Change Impact Analysis and Enhanced Log Viewing.

The project targets those looking to quickly and efficiently set up a production-ready web application with robust testing and continuous integration frameworks, all predominantly using free tools. This initiative leverages guides from Upstash and simple configurations, aiming to empower users to adopt modern tech stacks for their web development projects.
