langchain-nextjs-template
Five Next.js API routes that each show one LangChain.js pattern: plain chat, Zod structured output, a prebuilt LangGraph.js agent with Tavily search, and RAG as a chain and as an agent over a Supabase pgvector table. Tokens stream to the client through the AI SDK, routes run on Edge functions, and there is no auth or persistence beyond the vector table. For developers learning LangChain.js who want runnable routes to copy.
Who it is for: Developers learning LangChain.js on Next.js
Strengths
- Each pattern is one route file you can lift into your own app
- Hosted demo on Vercel
- Mock-backed integration tests run without API keys or a live database
- Supabase adapter reuses the documents table and match_documents function; no migration
Weaknesses
- No auth and no chat history persistence
- OpenAI only out of the box; other providers need code changes
- Re-ingesting the same text duplicates vectors; no dedupe
- Agent and search examples need a Tavily key
- TypeScript, openai, langchain, langgraph, ai-sdk
- Needs openai-api-key, supabase, tavily-api-key
- GitHub template
- env example file
twitterbio
A one-page Next.js app: a form builds a prompt, sends it to Together AI and streams the reply back, with two open models wired (Qwen 3.5 9B with thinking off, GPT OSS 20B with a reasoning indicator). Nothing else is included: no auth, no database, no tests. For developers who want the smallest prompt-to-text starter to grow from.
Who it is for: Developers wanting a minimal prompt-to-text page
Strengths
- One env var (TOGETHER_API_KEY) and it runs
- Shows streaming for both a direct model and a reasoning model
- Deployed live example at twitterbio.io
Weaknesses
- No auth, database, rate limiting or tests
- Tied to Together AI; no provider layer
- Single feature; most of a product is still to build
- TypeScript, together
- Needs together-api-key
- env example file
