### Problem description
Currently, Electron Forge provides templates for **React, TypeScript, and Vite**, but **Next.js is not officially supported**.**Next.js can be used as the frontend for Electron apps** due to its **routing, API routes, and static generation capabilities**. However, setting up Next.js with Electron Forge requires **manual configurations and workarounds**.
This proposal suggests adding an **official Next.js template (`@electron-forge/template-nextjs`)** to simplify integration.
### Proposed solution
Add a new Forge template:
**`@electron-forge/template-nextjs`**
### Alternatives considered
Manually configuring Next.js in Electron
### Additional information
## **Would You Accept a PR?**
