Introduction

NextJS is a popular framework built on top of React that offers numerous features for building production-ready applications.

Features

• File-based Routing: Create routes by adding files to the pages directory.
• Server-side Rendering (SSR): Improved performance and SEO.
• Static Site Generation (SSG): Generate static pages at build time.
• API Routes: Build API endpoints as Node.js functions.

Getting Started

To create a new NextJS project, use the following commands:

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

Example

Create a simple page:

import React from 'react';

const Home = () => {
  return <h1>Hello, NextJS!</h1>;
};

export default Home;

Create a file pages/index.js and see the result at http://localhost:3000.

Conclusion

NextJS extends React with powerful features that make it an excellent choice for production applications.
