Install it:
npm install --save next react react-dom
Next.js 4 only supportsReact 16.
We had to drop React 15 support due to the way React 16 works and how we use it.
and add a script to your package.json like this:
{"scripts": {"dev":"next","build":"next build","start":"next start" }}
After that, the file-system is the main API. Every.js
file becomes a route that gets automatically processed and rendered.
Populate./pages/index.js
inside your project:
exportdefault()=><div>Welcome to next.js!</div>
and then just runnpm run dev
and go tohttp://localhost:3000
. To use another port, you can runnpm run dev -- -p <your port here>
.
So far, we get:
- Automatic transpilation and bundling (with webpack and babel)
- Hot code reloading
- Server rendering and indexing of
./pages
- Static file serving.
./static/
is mapped to/static/
To see how simple this is, check out thesample app - nextgram
Everyimport
you declare gets bundled and served with each page. That means pages never load unnecessary code!
importcowsayfrom'cowsay-browser'exportdefault()=><pre>{cowsay.say({text:'hi there!'})}</pre>
Examples
We bundlestyled-jsx to provide support for isolated scoped CSS. The aim is to support "shadow CSS" similar to Web Components, which unfortunatelydo not support server-rendering and are JS-only.
exportdefault()=><div> Hello world<p>scoped!</p><stylejsx>{` p { color: blue; } div { background: red; } @media (max-width: 600px) { div { background: blue; } } `}</style><styleglobaljsx>{` body { background: black; } `}</style></div>
Please see thestyled-jsx documentation for more examples.
It's possible to use any existing CSS-in-JS solution. The simplest one is inline styles:
exportdefault()=><pstyle={{color:'red'}}>hi there</p>
To use more sophisticated CSS-in-JS solutions, you typically have to implement style flushing for server-side rendering. We enable this by allowing you to define your owncustom<Document>
component that wraps each page
Create a folder calledstatic
in your project root directory. From your code you can then reference those files with/static/
URLs:
exportdefault()=><imgsrc="/static/my-image.png"/>
Examples
We expose a built-in component for appending elements to the<head>
of the page.
importHeadfrom'next/head'exportdefault()=><div><Head><title>My page title</title><metaname="viewport"content="initial-scale=1.0, width=device-width"/></Head><p>Hello world!</p></div>
Note: The contents of<head>
get cleared upon unmounting the component, so make sure each page completely defines what it needs in<head>
, without making assumptions about what other pages added
Examples
When you need state, lifecycle hooks orinitial data population you can export aReact.Component
(instead of a stateless function, like shown above):
importReactfrom'react'exportdefaultclassextendsReact.Component{staticasyncgetInitialProps({ req}){constuserAgent=req ?req.headers['user-agent'] :navigator.userAgentreturn{ userAgent}}render(){return(<div> Hello World{this.props.userAgent}</div>)}}
Notice that to load data when the page loads, we usegetInitialProps
which is anasync
static method. It can asynchronously fetch anything that resolves to a JavaScript plainObject
, which populatesprops
.
For the initial page load,getInitialProps
will execute on the server only.getInitialProps
will only be executed on the client when navigating to a different route via theLink
component or using the routing APIs.
Note:getInitialProps
cannot be used in children components. Only inpages
.
If you are using some server only modules inside
getInitialProps
, make sure toimport them properly.Otherwise, it'll slow down your app.
You can also define thegetInitialProps
lifecycle method for stateless components:
constPage=({ stars})=><div> Next stars:{stars}</div>Page.getInitialProps=async({ req})=>{constres=awaitfetch('https://api.github.com/repos/zeit/next.js')constjson=awaitres.json()return{stars:json.stargazers_count}}exportdefaultPage
getInitialProps
receives a context object with the following properties:
pathname
- path section of URLquery
- query string section of URL parsed as an objectasPath
-String
of the actual path (including the query) shows in the browserreq
- HTTP request object (server only)res
- HTTP response object (server only)jsonPageRes
-Fetch Response object (client only)err
- Error object if any error is encountered during the rendering
Examples
Client-side transitions between routes can be enabled via a<Link>
component. Consider these two pages:
// pages/index.jsimportLinkfrom'next/link'exportdefault()=><div> Click{' '}<Linkhref="/about"><a>here</a></Link>{' '} to read more</div>
// pages/about.jsexportdefault()=><p>Welcome to About!</p>
Note: use<Link prefetch>
for maximum performance, to link and prefetch in the background at the same time
Client-side routing behaves exactly like the browser:
- The component is fetched
- If it defines
getInitialProps
, data is fetched. If an error occurs,_error.js
is rendered - After 1 and 2 complete,
pushState
is performed and the new component rendered
Each top-level component receives aurl
property with the following API:
pathname
-String
of the current path excluding the query stringquery
-Object
with the parsed query string. Defaults to{}
asPath
-String
of the actual path (including the query) shows in the browserpush(url, as=url)
- performs apushState
call with the given urlreplace(url, as=url)
- performs areplaceState
call with the given url
The secondas
parameter forpush
andreplace
is an optionaldecoration of the URL. Useful if you configured custom routes on the server.
Examples
The component<Link>
can also receive an URL object and it will automatically format it to create the URL string.
// pages/index.jsimportLinkfrom'next/link'exportdefault()=><div> Click{' '}<Linkhref={{pathname:'/about',query:{name:'Zeit'}}}><a>here</a></Link>{' '} to read more</div>
That will generate the URL string/about?name=Zeit
, you can use every property as defined in theNode.js URL module documentation.
The default behaviour for the<Link>
component is topush
a new url into the stack. You can use thereplace
prop to prevent adding a new entry.
// pages/index.jsimportLinkfrom'next/link'exportdefault()=><div> Click{' '}<Linkhref="/about"replace><a>here</a></Link>{' '} to read more</div>
<Link>
supports any component that supports theonClick
event. In case you don't provide an<a>
tag, it will only add theonClick
event handler and won't pass thehref
property.
// pages/index.jsimportLinkfrom'next/link'exportdefault()=><div> Click{' '}<Linkhref="/about"><imgsrc="/static/image.png"/></Link></div>
If child is an<a>
tag and doesn't have a href attribute we specify it so that the repetition is not needed by the user. However, sometimes, you’ll want to pass an<a>
tag inside of a wrapper and theLink
won’t recognize it as ahyperlink, and, consequently, won’t transfer itshref
to the child. In cases like that, you should define a booleanpassHref
property to theLink
, forcing it to expose itshref
property to the child.
importLinkfrom'next/link'importUnexpected_Afrom'third-library'exportdefault({ href, name})=><Linkhref={href}passHref><Unexpected_A>{name}</Unexpected_A></Link>
You can also do client-side page transitions using thenext/router
importRouterfrom'next/router'exportdefault()=><div> Click<spanonClick={()=>Router.push('/about')}>here</span> to read more</div>
AboveRouter
object comes with the following API:
route
-String
of the current routepathname
-String
of the current path excluding the query stringquery
-Object
with the parsed query string. Defaults to{}
asPath
-String
of the actual path (including the query) shows in the browserpush(url, as=url)
- performs apushState
call with the given urlreplace(url, as=url)
- performs areplaceState
call with the given url
The secondas
parameter forpush
andreplace
is an optionaldecoration of the URL. Useful if you configured custom routes on the server.
Note: in order to programmatically change the route without triggering navigation and component-fetching, useprops.url.push
andprops.url.replace
within a component
You can use an URL object the same way you use it in a<Link>
component topush
andreplace
an url.
importRouterfrom'next/router'consthandler=()=>Router.push({pathname:'/about',query:{name:'Zeit'}})exportdefault()=><div> Click<spanonClick={handler}>here</span> to read more</div>
This uses of the same exact parameters as in the<Link>
component.
You can also listen to different events happening inside the Router.Here's a list of supported events:
routeChangeStart(url)
- Fires when a route starts to changerouteChangeComplete(url)
- Fires when a route changed completelyrouteChangeError(err, url)
- Fires when there's an error when changing routesbeforeHistoryChange(url)
- Fires just before changing the browser's historyappUpdated(nextRoute)
- Fires when switching pages and there's a new version of the app
Here
url
is the URL shown in the browser. If you callRouter.push(url, as)
(or similar), then the value ofurl
will beas
.
Here's how to properly listen to the router eventrouteChangeStart
:
Router.onRouteChangeStart=url=>{console.log('App is changing to: ',url)}
If you no longer want to listen to that event, you can simply unset the event listener like this:
Router.onRouteChangeStart=null
If a route load is cancelled (for example by clicking two links rapidly in succession),routeChangeError
will fire. The passederr
will contained acancelled
property set totrue
.
Router.onRouteChangeError=(err,url)=>{if(err.cancelled){console.log(`Route to${url} was cancelled!`)}}
If you change a route while in between a new deployment, we can't navigate the app via client side. We need to do a full browser navigation. We do it automatically for you.
But you can customize that viaRoute.onAppUpdated
event like this:
Router.onAppUpdated=nextUrl=>{// persist the local statelocation.href=nextUrl}
Examples
Shallow routing allows you to change the URL without runninggetInitialProps
. You'll receive the updatedpathname
and thequery
via theurl
prop of the same page that's loaded, without losing state.
You can do this by invoking eitherRouter.push
orRouter.replace
with theshallow: true
option. Here's an example:
// Current URL is "/"consthref='/?counter=10'constas=hrefRouter.push(href,as,{shallow:true})
Now, the URL is updated to/?counter=10
. You can see the updated URL withthis.props.url
inside theComponent
.
You can watch for URL changes viacomponentWillReceiveProps
hook as shown below:
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps){const{ pathname, query}=nextProps.url// fetch data based on the new query}
NOTES:
Shallow routing worksonly for same page URL changes. For an example, let's assume we've another page called
about
, and you run this:Router.push('/about?counter=10','/about?counter=10',{shallow:true})Since that's a new page, it'll unload the current page, load the new one and call
getInitialProps
even though we asked to do shallow routing.
Examples
If you want to access therouter
object inside any component in your app, you can use thewithRouter
Higher-Order Component. Here's how to use it:
import{withRouter}from'next/router'constActiveLink=({ children, router, href})=>{conststyle={marginRight:10,color:router.pathname===href?'red' :'black'}consthandleClick=(e)=>{e.preventDefault()router.push(href)}return(<ahref={href}onClick={handleClick}style={style}>{children}</a>)}exportdefaultwithRouter(ActiveLink)
The aboverouter
object comes with an API similar tonext/router
.
(This is a production only feature)
Examples
Next.js has an API which allows you to prefetch pages.
Since Next.js server-renders your pages, this allows all the future interaction paths of your app to be instant. Effectively Next.js gives you the great initial download performance of awebsite, with the ahead-of-time download capabilities of anapp.Read more.
With prefetching Next.js only downloads JS code. When the page is getting rendered, you may need to wait for the data.
You can addprefetch
prop to any<Link>
and Next.js will prefetch those pages in the background.
importLinkfrom'next/link'// example header componentexportdefault()=><nav><ul><li><Linkprefetchhref="/"><a>Home</a></Link></li><li><Linkprefetchhref="/about"><a>About</a></Link></li><li><Linkprefetchhref="/contact"><a>Contact</a></Link></li></ul></nav>
Most prefetching needs are addressed by<Link />
, but we also expose an imperative API for advanced usage:
importRouterfrom'next/router'exportdefault({ url})=><div><aonClick={()=>setTimeout(()=>url.pushTo('/dynamic'),100)}> A route transition will happen after 100ms</a>{// but we can prefetch it!Router.prefetch('/dynamic')}</div>
Examples
Typically you start your next server withnext start
. It's possible, however, to start a server 100% programmatically in order to customize routes, use route patterns, etc
This example makes/a
resolve to./pages/b
, and/b
resolve to./pages/a
:
// This file doesn't not go through babel or webpack transformation.// Make sure the syntax and sources this file requires are compatible with the current node version you are running// See https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/1245 for discussions on Universal Webpack or universal Babelconst{ createServer}=require('http')const{ parse}=require('url')constnext=require('next')constdev=process.env.NODE_ENV!=='production'constapp=next({ dev})consthandle=app.getRequestHandler()app.prepare().then(()=>{createServer((req,res)=>{// Be sure to pass `true` as the second argument to `url.parse`.// This tells it to parse the query portion of the URL.constparsedUrl=parse(req.url,true)const{ pathname, query}=parsedUrlif(pathname==='/a'){app.render(req,res,'/b',query)}elseif(pathname==='/b'){app.render(req,res,'/a',query)}else{handle(req,res,parsedUrl)}}).listen(3000,err=>{if(err)throwerrconsole.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3000')})})
Thenext
API is as follows:
next(path: string, opts: object)
-path
is where the Next project is locatednext(opts: object)
Supported options:
dev
(bool
) whether to launch Next.js in dev mode - defaultfalse
dir
(string
) where the Next project is located - default'.'
quiet
(bool
) Hide error messages containing server information - defaultfalse
conf
(object
) the same object you would use innext.config.js
- default{}
Then, change yourstart
script toNODE_ENV=production node server.js
.
Examples
Next.js supports TC39dynamic import proposal for JavaScript.With that, you could import JavaScript modules (inc. React Components) dynamically and work with them.
You can think dynamic imports as another way to split your code into manageable chunks.Since Next.js supports dynamic imports with SSR, you could do amazing things with it.
Here are a few ways to use dynamic imports.
importdynamicfrom'next/dynamic'constDynamicComponent=dynamic(import('../components/hello'))exportdefault()=><div><Header/><DynamicComponent/><p>HOME PAGE is here!</p></div>
importdynamicfrom'next/dynamic'constDynamicComponentWithCustomLoading=dynamic(import('../components/hello2'),{loading:()=><p>...</p>})exportdefault()=><div><Header/><DynamicComponentWithCustomLoading/><p>HOME PAGE is here!</p></div>
importdynamicfrom'next/dynamic'constDynamicComponentWithNoSSR=dynamic(import('../components/hello3'),{ssr:false})exportdefault()=><div><Header/><DynamicComponentWithNoSSR/><p>HOME PAGE is here!</p></div>
importdynamicfrom'next/dynamic'constHelloBundle=dynamic({modules:props=>{constcomponents={Hello1:import('../components/hello1'),Hello2:import('../components/hello2')}// Add remove components based on propsreturncomponents},render:(props,{ Hello1, Hello2})=><div><h1>{props.title}</h1><Hello1/><Hello2/></div>})exportdefault()=><HelloBundletitle="Dynamic Bundle"/>
Pages inNext.js
skip the definition of the surrounding document's markup. For example, you never include<html>
,<body>
, etc. To override that default behavior, you must create a file at./pages/_document.js
, where you can extend theDocument
class:
// ./pages/_document.jsimportDocument,{Head,Main,NextScript}from'next/document'importflushfrom'styled-jsx/server'exportdefaultclassMyDocumentextendsDocument{staticgetInitialProps({ renderPage}){const{ html, head, errorHtml, chunks}=renderPage()conststyles=flush()return{ html, head, errorHtml, chunks, styles}}render(){return(<html><Head><style>{`body { margin: 0 } /* custom! */`}</style></Head><bodyclassName="custom_class">{this.props.customValue}<Main/><NextScript/></body></html>)}}
Thectx
object is equivalent to the one received in allgetInitialProps
hooks, with one addition:
renderPage
(Function
) a callback that executes the actual React rendering logic (synchronously). It's useful to decorate this function in order to support server-rendering wrappers like Aphrodite'srenderStatic
Note: React-components outside of<Main />
will not be initialised by the browser. If you need shared components in all your pages (like a menu or a toolbar), donot add application logic here, but take a look atthis example.
404 or 500 errors are handled both client and server side by a default componenterror.js
. If you wish to override it, define a_error.js
in the pages folder:
importReactfrom'react'exportdefaultclassErrorextendsReact.Component{staticgetInitialProps({ res, err}){conststatusCode=res ?res.statusCode :err ?err.statusCode :null;return{ statusCode}}render(){return(<p>{this.props.statusCode ?`An error${this.props.statusCode} occurred on server` :'An error occurred on client'}</p>)}}
If you want to render the built-in error page you can by usingnext/error
:
importReactfrom'react'importErrorfrom'next/error'importfetchfrom'isomorphic-fetch'exportdefaultclassPageextendsReact.Component{staticasyncgetInitialProps(){constres=awaitfetch('https://api.github.com/repos/zeit/next.js')conststatusCode=res.statusCode>200 ?res.statusCode :falseconstjson=awaitres.json()return{ statusCode,stars:json.stargazers_count}}render(){if(this.props.statusCode){return<ErrorstatusCode={this.props.statusCode}/>}return(<div> Next stars:{this.props.stars}</div>)}}
If you have created a custom error page you have to import your own
_error
component instead ofnext/error
For custom advanced behavior of Next.js, you can create anext.config.js
in the root of your project directory (next topages/
andpackage.json
).
Note:next.config.js
is a regular Node.js module, not a JSON file. It gets used by the Next server and build phases, and not included in the browser build.
// next.config.jsmodule.exports={/* config options here */}
You can specify a name to use for a custom build directory. For example, the following config will create abuild
folder instead of a.next
folder. If no configuration is specified then next will create a.next
folder.
// next.config.jsmodule.exports={distDir:'build'}
Next exposes some options that give you some control over how the server will dispose or keep in memories pages built:
module.exports={onDemandEntries:{// period (in ms) where the server will keep pages in the buffermaxInactiveAge:25*1000,// number of pages that should be kept simultaneously without being disposedpagesBufferLength:2,}}
Examples
In order to extend our usage ofwebpack
, you can define a function that extends its config vianext.config.js
.
// This file is not going through babel transformation.// So, we write it in vanilla JS// (But you could use ES2015 features supported by your Node.js version)module.exports={webpack:(config,{ buildId, dev})=>{// Perform customizations to webpack config// Important: return the modified configreturnconfig},webpackDevMiddleware:config=>{// Perform customizations to webpack dev middleware config// Important: return the modified configreturnconfig}}
Warning: Adding loaders to support new file types (css, less, svg, etc.) isnot recommended because only the client code gets bundled via webpack and thus it won't work on the initial server rendering. Babel plugins are a good alternative because they're applied consistently between server/client rendering (e.g.babel-plugin-inline-react-svg).
Examples
In order to extend our usage ofbabel
, you can simply define a.babelrc
file at the root of your app. This file is optional.
If found, we're going to consider it thesource of truth, therefore it needs to define what next needs as well, which is thenext/babel
preset.
This is designed so that you are not surprised by modifications we could make to the babel configurations.
Here's an example.babelrc
file:
{"presets": ["next/babel","stage-0"]}
To set up a CDN, you can set up theassetPrefix
setting and configure your CDN's origin to resolve to the domain that Next.js is hosted on.
constisProd=process.env.NODE_ENV==='production'module.exports={// You may only need to add assetPrefix in the production.assetPrefix:isProd ?'https://cdn.mydomain.com' :''}
Note: Next.js will automatically use that prefix the scripts it loads, but this has no effect whatsoever on/static
. If you want to serve those assets over the CDN, you'll have to introduce the prefix yourself. One way of introducing a prefix that works inside your components and varies by environment is documentedin this example.
To deploy, instead of runningnext
, you want to build for production usage ahead of time. Therefore, building and starting are separate commands:
next buildnext start
For example, to deploy withnow
apackage.json
like follows is recommended:
{"name":"my-app","dependencies": {"next":"latest" },"scripts": {"dev":"next","build":"next build","start":"next start" }}
Then runnow
and enjoy!
Next.js can be deployed to other hosting solutions too. Please have a look at the'Deployment' section of the wiki.
Note:NODE_ENV
is properly configured by thenext
subcommands, if absent, to maximize performance. if you’re using Next.jsprogrammatically, it’s your responsibility to setNODE_ENV=production
manually!
Note: we recommend putting.next
, or your custom dist folder (Please have a look at'Custom Config'. You can set a custom folder in config,.npmignore
, or.gitignore
. Otherwise, usefiles
ornow.files
to opt-into a whitelist of files you want to deploy (and obviously exclude.next
or your custom dist folder).
Examples
This is a way to run your Next.js app as a standalone static app without any Node.js server. The export app supports almost every feature of Next.js including dynamic urls, prefetching, preloading and dynamic imports.
Simply develop your app as you normally do with Next.js. Then create a custom Next.jsconfig as shown below:
// next.config.jsmodule.exports={exportPathMap:function(){return{'/':{page:'/'},'/about':{page:'/about'},'/readme.md':{page:'/readme'},'/p/hello-nextjs':{page:'/post',query:{title:'hello-nextjs'}},'/p/learn-nextjs':{page:'/post',query:{title:'learn-nextjs'}},'/p/deploy-nextjs':{page:'/post',query:{title:'deploy-nextjs'}}}}}
Note that if the path ends with a directory, it will be exported as
/dir-name/index.html
, but if it ends with an extension, it will be exported as the specified filename, e.g./readme.md
above. If you use a file extension other than.html
, you may need to set theContent-Type
header totext/html
when serving this content.
In that, you specify what are the pages you need to export as static HTML.
Then simply run these commands:
next buildnextexport
For that you may need to add a NPM script topackage.json
like this:
{"scripts": {"build":"next build && next export" }}
And run it at once with:
npm run build
Then you've a static version of your app in the “out" directory.
You can also customize the output directory. For that run
next export -h
for the help.
Now you can deploy that directory to any static hosting service. Note that there is an additional step for deploying to GitHub Pages,documented here.
For an example, simply visit the “out” directory and run following command to deploy your app toZEIT now.
now
With next export, we build HTML version of your app when you run the commandnext export
. In that time, we'll run thegetInitialProps
functions of your pages.
So, you could only usepathname
,query
andasPath
fields of thecontext
object passed togetInitialProps
. You can't usereq
orres
fields.
Basically, you won't be able to render HTML content dynamically as we pre-build HTML files. If you need that, you need run your app with
next start
.
Is this production ready?
Next.js has been poweringhttps://zeit.co since its inception.We’re ecstatic about both the developer experience and end-user performance, so we decided to share it with the community.
How big is it?
The client side bundle size should be measured in a per-app basis.A small Next main bundle is around 65kb gzipped.
Is this like `create-react-app`?
Yes and No.
Yes in that both make your life easier.
No in that it enforces astructure so that we can do more advanced things like:
- Server side rendering
- Automatic code splitting
In addition, Next.js provides two built-in features that are critical for every single website:
- Routing with lazy component loading:
<Link>
(by importingnext/link
) - A way for components to alter
<head>
:<Head>
(by importingnext/head
)
If you want to create re-usable React components that you can embed in your Next.js app or other React applications, usingcreate-react-app
is a great idea. You can laterimport
it and keep your codebase clean!
How do I use CSS-in-JS solutions?
Next.js bundlesstyled-jsx supporting scoped css. However you can use any CSS-in-JS solution in your Next app by just including your favorite libraryas mentioned before in the document.
How do I use CSS preprocessors like SASS / SCSS / LESS?
Next.js bundlesstyled-jsx supporting scoped css. However you can use any CSS preprocessor solution in your Next app by following one of these examples:
What syntactic features are transpiled? How do I change them?
We track V8. Since V8 has wide support for ES6 andasync
andawait
, we transpile those. Since V8 doesn’t support class decorators, we don’t transpile those.
Why a new Router?
Next.js is special in that:
- Routes don’t need to be known ahead of time
- Routes are always lazy-loadable
- Top-level components can define
getInitialProps
that shouldblock the loading of the route (either when server-rendering or lazy-loading)
As a result, we were able to introduce a very simple approach to routing that consists of two pieces:
- Every top level component receives a
url
object to inspect the url or perform modifications to the history - A
<Link />
component is used to wrap elements like anchors (<a/>
) to perform client-side transitions
We tested the flexibility of the routing with some interesting scenarios. For an example, check outnextgram.
How do I define a custom fancy route?
Weadded the ability to map between an arbitrary URL and any component by supplying a request handler.
On the client side, we have a parameter callas
on<Link>
thatdecorates the URL differently from the URL itfetches.
How do I fetch data?
It’s up to you.getInitialProps
is anasync
function (or a regular function that returns aPromise
). It can retrieve data from anywhere.
Can I use it with GraphQL?
Yes! Here's an example withApollo.
Can I use it with Redux?
Yes! Here's anexample
Why aren't routes I have for my static export accessible in the development server?
This is a known issue with the architecture of Next.js. Until a solution is built into the framework, take a look atthis example solution to centralize your routing.
Can I use Next with my favorite Javascript library or toolkit?
Since our first release we've hadmany example contributions, you can check them out in theexamples directory
What is this inspired by?
Many of the goals we set out to accomplish were the ones listed inThe 7 principles of Rich Web Applications by Guillermo Rauch.
The ease-of-use of PHP is a great inspiration. We feel Next.js is a suitable replacement for many scenarios where you otherwise would use PHP to output HTML.
Unlike PHP, we benefit from the ES6 module system and every file exports acomponent or function that can be easily imported for lazy evaluation or testing.
As we were researching options for server-rendering React that didn’t involve a large number of steps, we came acrossreact-page (now deprecated), a similar approach to Next.js by the creator of React Jordan Walke.
