Using Blitz with Next.js to build a full-stack app

Blitz is a full-stack framework built on Next.js, designed to enhance the capabilities of Next.js by providing a comprehensive toolkit for building efficient web applications. It offers out-of-the-box features like authentication, middleware, and Prisma ORM, allowing developers to create scalable applications quickly. Blitz introduces code scaffolding, enabling automatic generation of initial code, while its session management capabilities support smooth authentication flows and user roles. It uses a zero-API approach with mutations to perform CRUD operations without HTTP requests, enhancing security and performance. In this tutorial, a mini blog application is developed using Blitz, demonstrating features like adding user roles, utilizing Blitz Recipes for styling with Tailwind, and applying restrictions based on user roles. Blitz emphasizes performance improvements through server-rendered pages and automatic prerendering while offering built-in error handling components. The framework aims to provide a streamlined development environment with its opinionated file structure and zero API convention, making it a valuable addition to the Next.js ecosystem.
