Uniform Optimize starter kit for Sitecore JSS and Next.js

This repo contains both the starter kit with content items and required configuration files.

This kit is pre-wired for edge-side rendering and static site generation for Sitecore JSS and is created to fast track the activation of both Uniform Optimize and Deploy capabilities together with a Sitecore JSS solution.

You can also use this kit to start a vanilla project, simply remove everything from /src/components and adjust the Sitecore site name from uniform-jss-kit to whatever you want and get cracking.
