Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Basic NextJS files and directories structure (suggestion)

/app
  \_ /.next/
  \_ /components/
      \_ Button/
          \_ button.spec.tsx
          \_ button.styles.tsx
          \_ index.tsx
  \_ /pages/
      \_ _api
      \_ _app.tsx
      \_ index.jsx
  \_ /public/
      \_ favicon.ico
      \_ header.png
  \_ /redux/ => Or any other state management tool
      \_ folders...
  \_ /test/
      \_ pages/
        \_ index.test.tsx
      \_ test-utils.js/
  \_ /styles/
        \_ global.css
  \
  \_ .babelrc
  \_ .eslintrc
  \_ .env
  \_ babel.config.js
  \_ jest.config.js
  \_ jest.setup.js
  \_ next.config.js
  \_ tsconfig.json
  \_ package.json
  \_ README.md

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file. You can also create your components at components folder.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.tsx.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.

Deploy on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js.
