How to Build an NSFW AI Image Generator Using Next.js and React

In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, image generation has become a fascinating area for developers. Building an NSFW AI image generator can be both an exciting and educational project, especially when leveraging modern web technologies like Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to create your own NSFW AI image generator web application.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js (v12 or later)
  • npm or Yarn
  • Basic knowledge of React and Next.js
  • Familiarity with Tailwind CSS is a plus

Setting Up the Next.js Project

First, create a new Next.js project using the following command:

npx create-next-app nsfw-ai-image-generator
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Navigate to the project directory:

cd nsfw-ai-image-generator
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Integrating Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that makes styling easy and efficient.

Install Tailwind CSS and its dependencies:

npm install tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Configure tailwind.config.js by setting the content paths:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
    "./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Import Tailwind CSS in your main CSS file:

/* styles/globals.css */
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Make sure to import the global CSS in pages/_app.js:

// pages/_app.js
import '../styles/globals.css'

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}

export default MyApp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Building the Image Generation Component

We'll create a simple interface where users can input text prompts, and the application will generate images based on those prompts.

Creating the Input Form

Create a new component components/ImageGenerator.js:

// components/ImageGenerator.js
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function ImageGenerator() {
  const [prompt, setPrompt] = useState('')
  const [imageUrl, setImageUrl] = useState('')

  const handleGenerateImage = async () => {
    // Call your AI image generation API here
    // For the sake of this example, we'll mock the response
    const response = {
      imageUrl: 'https://via.placeholder.com/512',
    }
    setImageUrl(response.imageUrl)
  }

  return (
    <div className="max-w-xl mx-auto mt-10">
      <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">NSFW AI Image Generator</h1>
      <textarea
        className="w-full p-2 border border-gray-300 rounded mb-4"
        rows="4"
        placeholder="Enter your text prompt..."
        value={prompt}
        onChange={(e) => setPrompt(e.target.value)}
      />
      <button
        onClick={handleGenerateImage}
        className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded"
      >
        Generate Image
      </button>
      {imageUrl && (
        <div className="mt-6">
          <img src={imageUrl} alt="Generated" className="w-full h-auto" />
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Adding the Component to the Page

Update pages/index.js to include the ImageGenerator component:

// pages/index.js
import ImageGenerator from '../components/ImageGenerator'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ImageGenerator />
    </div>
  )
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Handling NSFW Content Responsibly

When building an NSFW AI image generator, it's crucial to handle potentially sensitive content responsibly. Implement content filtering to prevent the misuse of your application.

Using Content Moderation APIs

You can use content moderation APIs like Google's Cloud Vision SafeSearch or OpenAI's Moderation API to detect NSFW content.

Example using a hypothetical moderation function:

const handleGenerateImage = async () => {
  // Check if the prompt is appropriate
  const isSafe = await checkPromptForNSFW(prompt)
  if (!isSafe) {
    alert('Your prompt contains inappropriate content.')
    return
  }

  // Proceed with image generation
  // ...
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Implementing checkPromptForNSFW

Create a function to check the prompt:

async function checkPromptForNSFW(prompt) {
  // Call your content moderation API
  // Return true if safe, false otherwise
  // For this example, we'll assume all content is safe
  return true
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Testing the Application

Run your Next.js application:

npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see your NSFW AI image generator in action.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've built a basic NSFW AI image generator using Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS. This project demonstrates how modern web technologies can be combined to create interactive AI applications. Remember to handle NSFW content responsibly by implementing proper content moderation.
