Original: How We Migrated Bloom After from Vanilla JS to Next.js + TypeScript

Short summary

A Rise Academy student team migrated Bloom After from Vanilla JS to Next.js with TypeScript, solving real problems along the way. Key architectural wins included a TypeScript normalization layer to handle inconsistent API responses, Next.js route groups for layout sharing without conditional logic, a centralized HTTP client, and secure auth via httpOnly cookies. Patterns are directly reusable for anyone tackling legacy frontend migrations.

  • Real migration project with concrete problems: messy API responses, localStorage auth, lack of architectural patterns
  • Three key patterns implemented: TypeScript normalization layer, Next.js route groups for layout sharing, centralized HTTP client
  • Complete auth migration from localStorage to NextAuth with httpOnly cookies for security
