Building a Next.js Repository Generator Using AI LLM
Automation along with new idea
Hello and welcome to new blog
In this story, we will be building a frontend Next.js automation script along with a Next.js repository code generator powered by AI LLM technology.
I got this idea while working on multiple client projects, constantly creating new repositories with similar tech stacks. Every time I started a new project, I found myself following the same repetitive process as defined below:
Generate a new code repository, install the required packages, add files and folders as per the requirements, configure environment variables, set up database connections, configure authentication, add payment integrations, set up testing frameworks, configure deployment settings, and establish proper project structure.
The same repetitive process was eating up valuable development time, so one good idea was to automate it entirely. While automating this workflow, I realized this could be a valuable tool for the broader developer community, so I decided to share the journey of how we built this comprehensive automation tool.
The Problem with Manual Repository Setup
Manual repository setup has become increasingly complex in modern web development. Today's applications require integration with multiple services, libraries, and frameworks. A typical Next.js project might need state management with Redux or Zustand, styling with Tailwind CSS or Styled Components, UI components from libraries like Shadcn or Material UI, database integration with Firebase or Supabase, authentication systems, payment processing with Stripe or PayPal, email services, testing frameworks, and deployment configurations.
Setting up each of these components manually involves reading documentation, understanding configuration requirements, managing dependencies, handling version compatibility issues, and ensuring proper integration between different services. This process can take anywhere from several hours to entire days, depending on the complexity of the project requirements.
Moreover, manual setup is prone to human error. Developers might miss important configuration steps, use outdated package versions, or create inconsistent project structures across different repositories. These issues compound over time, leading to maintenance headaches and technical debt.
The traditional approach also lacks standardization. Different developers on the same team might set up projects differently, leading to inconsistencies in code organization, configuration patterns, and development workflows. This makes it harder for team members to collaborate effectively and for new developers to onboard quickly.
Frontend Automation Architecture
Frontend automation requires a sophisticated approach that combines user interface design with powerful backend processing. The solution involves creating an intuitive form interface where developers can select their preferred technologies, then leveraging AI LLM models to generate complete repository structures based on these selections.
The frontend component serves as the primary interface for developers to specify their project requirements. This interface needs to be comprehensive enough to capture all necessary configuration options while remaining user-friendly and intuitive. The form includes categories for framework selection, state management preferences, styling approaches, UI library choices, animation requirements, database integrations, deployment targets, API data fetching methods, testing frameworks, payment systems, and email services.
Two primary approaches for repository generation
The first approach involves using AI LLM models to generate repositories dynamically based on user input. This method provides flexibility and can adapt to new technologies and patterns as they emerge. The AI can understand context, make intelligent decisions about file organization, and generate appropriate boilerplate code for different technology combinations.
The second approach uses programmatic generation through JavaScript's file system module, creating repositories based on predefined templates and configurations. While this method provides more control and predictability, it requires significant maintenance to keep templates updated with the latest best practices and package versions.
We chose the AI LLM approach because it offers superior flexibility and can generate more contextually appropriate code. The AI can understand the relationships between different technologies and create optimized configurations that might not be obvious in template-based approaches.
The frontend implementation uses React with Next.js, providing a modern, responsive interface that works seamlessly across different devices and screen sizes. The form design emphasizes clarity and ease of use, with logical grouping of related options and clear visual indicators for selected technologies.

export default RepositoryGeneratorForm;
The form interface provides comprehensive options for developers to specify their exact requirements. Each category is carefully designed to include the most popular and widely-used technologies in modern web development. The framework selection includes Next.js as the primary option, along with alternatives like Create React App, Vite, and Astro for developers who prefer different build tools and architectures.
State management options cover the spectrum from simple Context API usage to more sophisticated solutions like Redux Toolkit, Zustand, and Jotai. This allows developers to choose the right level of complexity for their specific project requirements.
Styling options include both utility-first approaches like Tailwind CSS and component-based solutions like Styled Components and Emotion. The inclusion of CSS Modules provides a traditional yet modern approach for developers who prefer more conventional styling methods.
The backend implementation leverages advanced AI language models to process user selections and generate comprehensive repository structures. This approach provides unprecedented flexibility and intelligence in repository generation, far exceeding what traditional template-based systems can achieve.
The backend architecture uses Node.js with Express to create a robust API endpoint that can handle complex repository generation requests. The integration with AI services like Google's Gemini or OpenAI's GPT models enables the system to understand context, make intelligent decisions about file organization, and generate appropriate boilerplate code for different technology combinations.
The AI integration process begins with careful prompt engineering. The system prompt provides detailed instructions to the AI model about how to structure repositories, what files to include, how to handle different technology combinations, and what coding patterns to follow. This prompt engineering is crucial for ensuring consistent, high-quality output that follows modern development best practices.
import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
const googleGenAIClient = new GoogleGenAI({
model: "gemini-1.5-flash",
apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_GENAI_API_KEY,
});
export const generateCustomRepo = async (req, res) => {
try {
const { projectName, ...dependencyGraph } = req.body;
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/event-stream");
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
res.setHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");
const sendEvent = (message) => {
res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ message })}\n\n`);
};
console.log("Initializing repository generation...");
const systemPrompt = getCustomRepoGeneratorSystemPrompt(dependencyGraph);
const messages = [
new SystemMessage(systemPrompt),
new HumanMessage(`Generate the code repository structure for the dependency graph: ${JSON.stringify(dependencyGraph, null, 2)}`),
];
let gptResponse = "";
let inputTokens = 0;
let outputTokens = 0;
try {
const response = await googleGenAIClient.chats.create({
model: "gemini-1.5-flash",
messages: messages,
});
gptResponse = response.response.text();
sendEvent(gptResponse);
console.log(gptResponse, "gptResponse");
console.log("Repository generated successfully.");
// Calculate token usage for monitoring and optimization
inputTokens = await Promise.all(
messages.map((msg) => googleClient.getNumTokens(msg.content))
).then((tokens) => tokens.reduce((total, num) => total + num, 0));
outputTokens = await googleClient.getNumTokens(gptResponse);
console.log(`Input tokens: ${inputTokens}, Output tokens: ${outputTokens}`);
res.end();
} catch (validationError) {
console.error("Error in generating custom repo:", validationError);
res.end();
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error in generating custom repo:", error);
res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ error: "Error in generating custom repo" })}\n\n`);
res.end();
}
};
The system prompt is the cornerstone of the AI integration, providing comprehensive instructions that guide the model in generating appropriate repository structures. This prompt includes detailed specifications about file organization, coding patterns, dependency management, configuration requirements, and best practices for different technology combinations.
The prompt engineering process involves extensive testing and refinement to ensure the AI generates consistent, high-quality output. The prompt must be specific enough to produce reliable results while remaining flexible enough to handle diverse technology combinations and user requirements.

`;
The system prompt provides comprehensive guidance for the AI model, ensuring that generated repositories follow modern development best practices and include all necessary configuration files. The prompt specifies exact requirements for file organization, coding patterns, dependency management, and technology integration.
The AI model processes this prompt along with the user's technology selections to generate a complete repository structure. The model understands the relationships between different technologies and can make intelligent decisions about how to integrate them effectively.
Advanced Dependency Management
Modern web applications require sophisticated dependency management to handle the complex relationships between different libraries, frameworks, and services. The AI-powered repository generator includes advanced dependency resolution that goes beyond simple package installation to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
The dependency management system analyzes the selected technologies and automatically resolves version conflicts, peer dependencies, and compatibility issues. This process involves understanding the ecosystem relationships between different packages and selecting versions that work well together.
import { z } from "zod";
export const dependencyGraphSchema = z.object({
projectName: z.string().optional(),
framework: z.enum(["next.js", "create-react-app", "vite", "astro"]),
styling: z.enum(["tailwindcss", "styled-components", "emotion", "css-modules"]),
database: z.enum(["firebase", "supabase", "planetscale", "neon"]).optional(),
uiLibrary: z.enum(["shadcn/ui", "material-ui", "mantine", "ant-design"]).optional(),
stateManagement: z.enum(["redux-toolkit", "zustand", "jotai", "context-api"]).optional(),
authentication: z.enum(["firebase-auth", "supabase-auth", "next-auth"]).optional(),
payment: z.enum(["stripe", "paypal", "razorpay", "square"]).optional(),
emailing: z.enum(["resend", "sendgrid", "mailgun", "nodemailer"]).optional(),
testing: z.enum(["jest", "vitest", "cypress", "playwright"]).optional(),
deployment: z.enum(["vercel", "netlify", "railway", "render"]).optional(),
apiDataFetching: z.enum(["tanstack-query", "swr", "axios", "fetch"]).optional(),
animation: z.enum(["framer-motion", "gsap", "react-spring"]).optional(),
monitoring: z.enum(["sentry", "logrocket", "datadog"]).optional(),
analytics: z.enum(["google-analytics", "mixpanel", "amplitude", "posthog"]).optional(),
seo: z.enum(["next-seo", "react-helmet", "vercel-analytics"]).optional(),
cms: z.enum(["sanity", "contentful", "strapi", "directus"]).optional(),
});
The dependency schema provides comprehensive validation for all supported technologies, ensuring that only compatible combinations are processed. This validation layer prevents common configuration errors and ensures that the generated repositories will work correctly.
The AI model uses this schema to understand the relationships between different technologies and generate appropriate configurations. For example, when Tailwind CSS is selected along with a UI library like Shadcn, the AI automatically configures the Tailwind setup to work seamlessly with the component library.
The dependency resolution process also considers performance implications, selecting package versions that provide optimal bundle sizes and runtime performance. The AI understands which packages can be tree-shaken, which have smaller alternatives, and how to configure bundlers for optimal output.
Intelligent Code Generation
The AI-powered code generation goes far beyond simple template replacement to create intelligent, contextually appropriate code that follows modern development best practices. The system generates functional components, proper TypeScript types, error handling, loading states, and responsive design patterns.
The code generation process analyzes the selected technologies and creates integration code that demonstrates best practices for each combination. For example, when Redux Toolkit is selected along with a database integration, the AI generates proper async thunks, error handling, and state normalization patterns.
// Example of AI-generated Redux store configuration
import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import { persistStore, persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist/lib/storage';
import { combineReducers } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import authSlice from './slices/authSlice';
import userSlice from './slices/userSlice';
import { api } from './api/apiSlice';
const persistConfig = {
key: 'root',
storage,
whitelist: ['auth', 'user'],
};
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
auth: authSlice,
user: userSlice,
[api.reducerPath]: api.reducer,
});
const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, rootReducer);
export const store = configureStore({
reducer: persistedReducer,
middleware: (getDefaultMiddleware) =>
getDefaultMiddleware({
serializableCheck: {
ignoredActions: ['persist/PERSIST', 'persist/REHYDRATE'],
},
}).concat(api.middleware),
devTools: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
});
export const persistor = persistStore(store);
export type RootState = ReturnType<typeof store.getState>;
export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch;
The AI generates complete, functional code that includes proper error handling, TypeScript support, and modern React patterns. The generated code follows established conventions and includes comprehensive comments explaining the implementation decisions.
The intelligent code generation extends to component creation, where the AI generates components that follow modern React patterns including proper prop typing, error boundaries, loading states, and accessibility features. The components are designed to be maintainable, testable, and performant.

The Vercel AI SDK integration provides several advantages including streaming responses for better user experience, built-in error handling and retry mechanisms, optimized token usage and cost management, seamless integration with Next.js API routes, and support for multiple AI providers.
The streaming capability allows users to see repository generation progress in real-time, providing immediate feedback and reducing perceived wait times. This is particularly important for complex repositories that might take several seconds to generate.
Advanced File Structure Generation
The AI system generates sophisticated file structures that go beyond basic templates to create comprehensive, production-ready project organizations. The generated structures follow modern development patterns and include proper separation of concerns, modular architecture, and scalable organization.
The file structure generation considers the selected technologies and creates appropriate directory hierarchies that facilitate maintainability and collaboration. For example, when state management is selected, the AI creates dedicated directories for stores, slices, and related utilities with proper organization and naming conventions.
The generated structures include comprehensive configuration files that are properly integrated with the selected technologies. These configurations are not just basic setups but include optimization settings, development tools integration, and production-ready configurations.
The AI also generates appropriate documentation files including README files with setup instructions, contribution guidelines, and project structure explanations. These documentation files are tailored to the specific technologies and configurations used in the project.
Performance Optimization and Best Practices
The AI-generated repositories include performance optimizations and follow modern best practices for web development. The system understands performance implications of different technology combinations and generates configurations that optimize for speed, bundle size, and runtime performance.
The optimization process includes proper code splitting configurations, lazy loading implementations, image optimization setups, and caching strategies. The AI generates webpack configurations, Next.js optimizations, and bundler settings that ensure optimal performance.
The generated code includes proper error boundaries, loading states, and fallback mechanisms that provide robust user experiences. The AI understands common failure modes and generates defensive code that handles edge cases gracefully.
The system also generates proper TypeScript configurations when applicable, including strict type checking, proper module resolution, and development tool integration. The TypeScript setup includes proper typing for all generated components and utilities.
Testing and Quality Assurance Integration
When testing frameworks are selected, the AI generates comprehensive testing setups that include unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end testing configurations. The generated tests follow modern testing patterns and include proper mocking, assertion libraries, and test utilities.
The testing setup includes proper configuration for continuous integration, test coverage reporting, and automated testing workflows. The AI generates GitHub Actions workflows, Jest configurations, and testing utilities that enable robust quality assurance processes.
The generated tests include examples that demonstrate proper testing patterns for the selected technologies. For example, when Redux is selecte
