Next.js Migration Complete ✅
Migration Summary
Successfully migrated Puffin Offset from Vite 6 + React to Next.js 16 App Router (January 2025).
What Was Migrated
Phase 1-2: Foundation & Configuration
- ✅ Installed Next.js 16.0.1 with Turbopack
- ✅ Created
next.config.mjswith environment variable mapping - ✅ Updated
tsconfig.jsonfor Next.js - ✅ Created root layout with metadata
- ✅ Set up
app/globals.css - ✅ Migrated Header and Footer components
Phase 3: Core Pages
- ✅ Homepage (
app/page.tsx) - Static landing page - ✅ About (
app/about/page.tsx) - Static about page with metadata - ✅ How It Works (
app/how-it-works/page.tsx) - Static process explanation - ✅ Contact (
app/contact/page.tsx) - Form with SMTP integration
Phase 4: Calculator & Special Routes
- ✅ Calculator (
app/calculator/page.tsx) - Interactive carbon calculator - ✅ Mobile App (
app/mobile-app/page.tsx) - Custom layout without header/footer - ✅ Checkout Success (
app/checkout/success/page.tsx) - Stripe success handler - ✅ Checkout Cancel (
app/checkout/cancel/page.tsx) - Stripe cancel handler
Phase 5: SEO Enhancement
- ✅ Added comprehensive metadata to all pages
- ✅ Created
app/sitemap.tsfor search engines - ✅ Created
app/robots.tsfor crawler rules - ✅ Extracted client components for proper metadata exports
Phase 6: Docker & Deployment
- ✅ Updated
Dockerfilefor Next.js standalone mode - ✅ Updated
docker-compose.ymlwith NEXT_PUBLIC_ environment variables - ✅ Backward compatibility for VITE_ variables during transition
Phase 7: Testing & Verification
- ✅ All routes loading successfully
- ✅ Environment variable migration documented
- ✅ Dev server running with Turbopack
- ✅ Calculator functionality verified
Architecture Changes
Before (Vite)
- Client-side only rendering (SPA)
- Vite dev server
- Static build output (dist/)
- Environment: import.meta.env.VITE_*
After (Next.js 16)
- Server-side and client-side rendering (App Router)
- Next.js with Turbopack
- Standalone server output (.next/)
- Environment: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_*
Key Technical Decisions
1. Client Component Strategy
Decision: Extract client logic to separate component files Reason: Allows page files to export metadata (server components only)
Example:
app/about/page.tsx → Server component with metadata
components/AboutClient.tsx → Client component with interactivity
2. Environment Variables
Old: import.meta.env.VITE_WREN_API_TOKEN
New: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WREN_API_TOKEN
Fallback Strategy: next.config.mjs includes backward compatibility during transition
3. Docker Deployment
Old: Static files served by serve package
New: Next.js standalone server with node server.js
