Getting Started with Next.js

Next.js is a powerful React framework that makes building web applications a breeze. Let's explore how to get started!

Why Next.js?

Next.js offers several benefits:

  • Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

  • Static Site Generation (SSG)

  • API Routes

  • File-based Routing

  • Built-in CSS Support

Creating Your First App

To create a new Next.js app, run:

npx create-next-app@latest my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev

Project Structure

A typical Next.js project looks like this:

my-app/
  ├── app/
  │   ├── layout.tsx
  │   └── page.tsx
  ├── public/
  │   └── images/
  ├── components/
  └── package.json

Adding a New Page

Creating a new page is as simple as adding a new file:

// app/about/page.tsx
export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      # About Us


      Welcome to our site!


    </div>
  );
}
