Next.js is a JavaScript framework created by Zeit. It lets you build server-side rendering and static web applications using React. It is a great tool to build your next website. It has many great features and advantages, which can make Nextjs your first option for building your next web application.
It is no secret that creating single-page JavaScript applications can be pretty challenging these days. Fortunately, there are some projects available which simplify things and help you build apps faster.
we can access page with http://localhost:3000/about.After that, we need to connect these pages. We could use an HTML "a" tag for that. However, it won t perform client-side navigation; it navigates to the page via the server, which is not what we want. In order to support client-side navigation, we need to use Next.js Link API, which is exported via next/link.
We know that Next.js is all about pages. We can create a page by exporting a React component, and putting that component inside the pages directory. Then it will have a fixed URL based on the file name. Since exported pages are JavaScript modules, we can import other JavaScript components into them as well.
we know how to create a basic Next.js app with multiple pages. In order to create a page, we have to create an actual file on the disk. However, in a real app, we need to create pages dynamically in order to display dynamic content. There are many approaches to do that with Next.js.
we usually need to fetch data from a remote data source. Next.js comes with a standard API to fetch data for pages. We do it using an async function called getInitialProps.
For a React app, there are many different techniques that we can use to style it, and those can be categorized into two broad methods: 1. Traditional CSS-file-based styling (including SASS, PostCSS etc) 2. CSS in Js styling
You can deploy a Next.js app to anywhere you can run Node.js. So, theres not any kind of lock-in, even though deploying with ▲ZEIT Now is super simple.
