Adding examples

When you add an example to the examples directory, please follow these guidelines to ensure high-quality examples:

• TypeScript should be leveraged for new examples (no need for separate JavaScript and TypeScript examples, converting old JavaScript examples is preferred)
• Examples should not add custom ESLint configuration (we have specific templates for ESLint)
• If API routes aren't used in an example, they should be omitted
• If an example exists for a certain library and you would like to showcase a specific feature of that library, the existing example should be updated (instead of adding a new example)
• Package manager specific config should not be added (e.g. resolutions in package.json)
• In package.json the version of next should be latest
• In package.json the dependency versions should be up-to-date
• Use export default function for page components and API Routes instead of const/let (The exception is if the page has getInitialProps, in which case NextPage could be useful)
• CMS example directories should be prefixed with cms-
• Example directories should not be prefixed with with-
• Make sure linting passes (you can run pnpm build && pnpm lint to verify and pnpm lint-fix for automatic fixes)

Also, don’t forget to add a README.md file with the following format:

• Replace DIRECTORY_NAME with the directory name you’re adding.
• Fill in Example Name and Description.
• Examples should be TypeScript first, if possible.
• Omit the name and version fields from your package.json.
• Ensure all your dependencies are up to date.
• Ensure you’re using next/image.
• To add additional installation instructions, please add them where appropriate.
• To add additional notes, add ## Notes section at the end.
• Remove the Deploy your own section if your example can’t be immediately deployed to Vercel.

# Example Name

Description

## Deploy your own

Deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example):

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/DIRECTORY_NAME&project-name=DIRECTORY_NAME&repository-name=DIRECTORY_NAME)

## How to use

Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), [pnpm](https://pnpm.io), or [Bun](https://bun.sh/docs/cli/bunx) to bootstrap the example:

```bash
npx create-next-app --example DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_NAME-app
```

```bash
yarn create next-app --example DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_NAME-app
```

```bash
pnpm create next-app --example DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_NAME-app
```

```bash
bunx create-next-app --example DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_NAME-app
```

Deploy it to the cloud with [Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=next-example) ([Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment)).
