React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js | Beginner Project

An emoji search app sounds tiny, but it touches almost everything a beginner needs: state, filters, modals, TypeScript types, and Tailwind styling inside a real Next.js project. By the end you have something deployed that you actually want to show people.

I build it step by step in the video, from to the finished UI.

What's inside

  • Scaffolding a Next.js project with the TypeScript flag
  • Configuring Tailwind CSS the official way
  • Live search plus category filters for food, flags, and more
  • Typing your emoji data so it stays maintainable
  • Building a details modal that closes on outside click
  • Deploying the app and grabbing the full source code
