# Accessibility
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The Next.js team is committed to making Next.js accessible to all developers (and their end-users). By adding accessibility features to Next.js by default, we aim to make the Web more inclusive for everyone.

## Route Announcements

When transitioning between pages rendered on the server (e.g. using the `<a href>` tag) screen readers and other assistive technology announce the page title when the page loads so that users understand that the page has changed.

In addition to traditional page navigations, Next.js also supports client-side transitions for improved performance (using `next/link`). To ensure that client-side transitions are also announced to assistive technology, Next.js includes a route announcer by default.

The Next.js route announcer looks for the page name to announce by first inspecting `document.title`, then the `<h1>` element, and finally the URL pathname. For the most accessible user experience, ensure that each page in your application has a unique and descriptive title.

## Linting

Next.js provides an [integrated ESLint experience](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/eslint.md) out of the box, including custom rules for Next.js. By default, Next.js includes `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` to help catch accessibility issues early, including warning on:

* [aria-props](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y/blob/HEAD/docs/rules/aria-props.md?rgh-link-date=2021-06-04T02%3A10%3A36Z)
* [aria-proptypes](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y/blob/HEAD/docs/rules/aria-proptypes.md?rgh-link-date=2021-06-04T02%3A10%3A36Z)
* [aria-unsupported-elements](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y/blob/HEAD/docs/rules/aria-unsupported-elements.md?rgh-link-date=2021-06-04T02%3A10%3A36Z)
* [role-has-required-aria-props](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y/blob/HEAD/docs/rules/role-has-required-aria-props.md?rgh-link-date=2021-06-04T02%3A10%3A36Z)
* [role-supports-aria-props](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y/blob/HEAD/docs/rules/role-supports-aria-props.md?rgh-link-date=2021-06-04T02%3A10%3A36Z)

For example, this plugin helps ensure you add alt text to `img` tags, use correct `aria-*` attributes, use correct `role` attributes, and more.

## Accessibility Resources

* [WebAIM WCAG checklist](https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist)
* [WCAG 2.2 Guidelines](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/)
* [The A11y Project](https://www.a11yproject.com/)
* Check [color contrast ratios](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Accessibility/Understanding_WCAG/Perceivable/Color_contrast) between foreground and background elements
* Use [`prefers-reduced-motion`](https://web.dev/prefers-reduced-motion/) when working with animations

# experimental.adapterPath
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js provides an experimental API that allows you to create custom adapters to hook into the build process. This is useful for deployment platforms or custom build integrations that need to modify the Next.js configuration or process the build output.

## Configuration

To use an adapter, specify the path to your adapter module in `experimental.adapterPath`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    adapterPath: require.resolve('./my-adapter.js'),
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Creating an Adapter

An adapter is a module that exports an object implementing the `NextAdapter` interface:

```typescript
export interface NextAdapter {
  name: string
  modifyConfig?: (
    config: NextConfigComplete,
    ctx: {
      phase: PHASE_TYPE
    }
  ) => Promise<NextConfigComplete> | NextConfigComplete
  onBuildComplete?: (ctx: {
    routes: {
      headers: Array<ManifestHeaderRoute>
      redirects: Array<ManifestRedirectRoute>
      rewrites: {
        beforeFiles: Array<ManifestRewriteRoute>
        afterFiles: Array<ManifestRewriteRoute>
        fallback: Array<ManifestRewriteRoute>
      }
      dynamicRoutes: ReadonlyArray<ManifestRoute>
    }
    outputs: AdapterOutputs
    projectDir: string
    repoRoot: string
    distDir: string
    config: NextConfigComplete
    nextVersion: string
  }) => Promise<void> | void
}
```

### Basic Adapter Structure

Here's a minimal adapter example:

```js filename="my-adapter.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextAdapter} */
const adapter = {
  name: 'my-custom-adapter',

  async modifyConfig(config, { phase }) {
    // Modify the Next.js config based on the build phase
    if (phase === 'phase-production-build') {
      return {
        ...config,
        // Add your modifications
      }
    }
    return config
  },

  async onBuildComplete({
    routes,
    outputs,
    projectDir,
    repoRoot,
    distDir,
    config,
    nextVersion,
  }) {
    // Process the build output
    console.log('Build completed with', outputs.pages.length, 'pages')

    // Access different output types
    for (const page of outputs.pages) {
      console.log('Page:', page.pathname, 'at', page.filePath)
    }

    for (const apiRoute of outputs.pagesApi) {
      console.log('API Route:', apiRoute.pathname, 'at', apiRoute.filePath)
    }

    for (const appPage of outputs.appPages) {
      console.log('App Page:', appPage.pathname, 'at', appPage.filePath)
    }

    for (const prerender of outputs.prerenders) {
      console.log('Prerendered:', prerender.pathname)
    }
  },
}

module.exports = adapter
```

```

### Middleware (`outputs.middleware`)

Middleware function (if present):

```typescript
{

      has: RouteHas[] | undefined
      missing: RouteHas[] | undefined
    }>
  }
}
```

## Routes Information

The `routes` object in `onBuildComplete` provides complete routing information with processed patterns ready for deployment:

### Headers

Each header route includes:

* `source`: Original route pattern (e.g., `/about`)
* `sourceRegex`: Compiled regex for matching requests
* `headers`: Key-value pairs of headers to apply
* `has`: Optional conditions that must be met
* `missing`: Optional conditions that must not be met
* `priority`: Optional flag for internal routes

### Redirects

Each redirect route includes:

* `source`: Original route pattern
* `sourceRegex`: Compiled regex for matching
* `destination`: Target URL (can include captured groups)
* `statusCode`: HTTP status code (301, 302, 307, 308)
* `has`: Optional positive conditions
* `missing`: Optional negative conditions
* `priority`: Optional flag for internal routes

### Rewrites

Rewrites are categorized into three phases:

* `beforeFiles`: Checked before filesystem (including pages and public files)
* `afterFiles`: Checked after pages/public files but before dynamic routes
* `fallback`: Checked after all other routes

Each rewrite includes `source`, `sourceRegex`, `destination`, `has`, and `missing`.

### Dynamic Routes

Generated from dynamic route segments (e.g., `[slug]`, `[...path]`). Each includes:

* `source`: Route pattern
* `sourceRegex`: Compiled regex with named capture groups
* `destination`: Internal destination with parameter substitution
* `has`: Optional positive conditions
* `missing`: Optional negative conditions

## Use Cases

Common use cases for adapters include:

* **Deployment Platform Integration**: Automatically configure build outputs for specific hosting platforms
* **Asset Processing**: Transform or optimize build outputs
* **Monitoring Integration**: Collect build metrics and route information
* **Custom Bundling**: Package outputs in platform-specific formats
* **Build Validation**: Ensure outputs meet specific requirements
* **Route Generation**: Use processed route information to generate platform-specific routing configs

# after
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`after` allows you to schedule work to be executed after a response (or prerender) is finished. This is useful for tasks and other side effects that should not block the response, such as logging and analytics.

It can be used in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) (including [`generateMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md)), [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md), [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md).

The function accepts a callback that will be executed after the response (or prerender) is finished:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { after } from 'next/server'
// Custom logging function
import { log } from '@/app/utils'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  after(() => {
    // Execute after the layout is rendered and sent to the user
    log()
  })
  return <>{children}</>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.jsx" switcher
import { after } from 'next/server'
// Custom logging function
import { log } from '@/app/utils'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  after(() => {
    // Execute after the layout is rendered and sent to the user
    log()
  })
  return <>{children}</>
}
```

> **Good to know:** `after` is not a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) and calling it does not cause a route to become dynamic. If it's used within a static page, the callback will execute at build time, or whenever a page is revalidated.

## Reference

### Parameters

* A callback function which will be executed after the response (or prerender) is finished.

### Duration

`after` will run for the platform's default or configured max duration of your route. If your platform supports it, you can configure the timeout limit using the [`maxDuration`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#maxduration) route segment config.

## Good to know

* `after` will be executed even if the response didn't complete successfully. Including when an error is thrown or when `notFound` or `redirect` is called.
* You can use React `cache` to deduplicate functions called inside `after`.
* `after` can be nested inside other `after` calls, for example, you can create utility functions that wrap `after` calls to add additional functionality.

## Examples

### With request APIs

You can use request APIs such as [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) and [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) inside `after` in [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) and [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md). This is useful for logging activity after a mutation. For example:

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" highlight={2,7-9} switcher
import { after } from 'next/server'
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'
import { logUserAction } from '@/app/utils'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  // Perform mutation
  // ...

  // Log user activity for analytics
  after(async () => {
    const userAgent = (await headers().get('user-agent')) || 'unknown'
    const sessionCookie =
      (await cookies().get('session-id'))?.value || 'anonymous'

    logUserAction({ sessionCookie, userAgent })
  })

  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ status: 'success' }), {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" highlight={2,7-9} switcher
import { after } from 'next/server'
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'
import { logUserAction } from '@/app/utils'

export async function POST(request) {
  // Perform mutation
  // ...

  // Log user activity for analytics
  after(async () => {
    const userAgent = (await headers().get('user-agent')) || 'unknown'
    const sessionCookie =
      (await cookies().get('session-id'))?.value || 'anonymous'

    logUserAction({ sessionCookie, userAgent })
  })

  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ status: 'success' }), {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  })
}
```

However, you cannot use these request APIs inside `after` in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md). This is because Next.js needs to know which part of the tree access the request APIs to support [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md), but `after` runs after React's rendering lifecycle.

## Platform Support

| Deployment Option                                                   | Supported         |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| [Node.js server](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md#nodejs-server) | Yes               |
| [Docker container](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md#docker)      | Yes               |
| [Static export](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md#static-export)  | No                |
| [Adapters](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md#adapters)            | Platform-specific |

Learn how to [configure `after`](/docs/app/guides/self-hosting.md#after) when self-hosting Next.js.

<details>
<summary>Reference: supporting `after` for serverless platforms</summary>

Using `after` in a serverless context requires waiting for asynchronous tasks to finish after the response has been sent. In Next.js and Vercel, this is achieved using a primitive called `waitUntil(promise)`, which extends the lifetime of a serverless invocation until all promises passed to [`waitUntil`](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/functions-api-reference#waituntil) have settled.

If you want your users to be able to run `after`, you will have to provide your implementation of `waitUntil` that behaves in an analogous way.

When `after` is called, Next.js will access `waitUntil` like this:

```jsx
const RequestContext = globalThis[Symbol.for('@next/request-context')]
const contextValue = RequestContext?.get()
const waitUntil = contextValue?.waitUntil
```

Which means that `globalThis[Symbol.for('@next/request-context')]` is expected to contain an object like this:

```tsx
type NextRequestContext = {
  get(): NextRequestContextValue | undefined
}

type NextRequestContextValue = {
  waitUntil?: (promise: Promise<any>) => void
}
```

Here is an example of the implementation.

```tsx
import { AsyncLocalStorage } from 'node:async_hooks'

const RequestContextStorage = new AsyncLocalStorage<NextRequestContextValue>()

// Define and inject the accessor that next.js will use
const RequestContext: NextRequestContext = {
  get() {
    return RequestContextStorage.getStore()
  },
}
globalThis[Symbol.for('@next/request-context')] = RequestContext

const handler = (req, res) => {
  const contextValue = { waitUntil: YOUR_WAITUNTIL }
  // Provide the value
  return RequestContextStorage.run(contextValue, () => nextJsHandler(req, res))
}
```

</details>

## Version History

| Version History | Description                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `v15.1.0`       | `after` became stable.       |
| `v15.0.0-rc`    | `unstable_after` introduced. |

# allowedDevOrigins
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js does not automatically block cross-origin requests during development, but will block by default in a future major version of Next.js to prevent unauthorized requesting of internal assets/endpoints that are available in development mode.

To configure a Next.js application to allow requests from origins other than the hostname the server was initialized with (`localhost` by default) you can use the `allowedDevOrigins` config option.

`allowedDevOrigins` allows you to set additional origins that can be used in development mode. For example, to use `local-origin.dev` instead of only `localhost`, open `next.config.js` and add the `allowedDevOrigins` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  allowedDevOrigins: ['local-origin.dev', '*.local-origin.dev'],
}
```

# How to add analytics to your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js has built-in support for measuring and reporting performance metrics. You can either use the [`useReportWebVitals`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-report-web-vitals.md) hook to manage reporting yourself, or alternatively, Vercel provides a [managed service](https://vercel.com/analytics?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website) to automatically collect and visualize metrics for you.

## Client Instrumentation

For more advanced analytics and monitoring needs, Next.js provides a `instrumentation-client.js|ts` file that runs before your application's frontend code starts executing. This is ideal for setting up global analytics, error tracking, or performance monitoring tools.

To use it, create an `instrumentation-client.js` or `instrumentation-client.ts` file in your application's root directory:

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js"
// Initialize analytics before the app starts
console.log('Analytics initialized')

// Set up global error tracking
window.addEventListener('error', (event) => {
  // Send to your error tracking service
  reportError(event.error)
})
```

## Build Your Own

```jsx filename="app/_components/web-vitals.js"
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
    console.log(metric)
  })
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js"
import { WebVitals } from './_components/web-vitals'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <WebVitals />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> Since the `useReportWebVitals` hook requires the `'use client'` directive, the most performant approach is to create a separate component that the root layout imports. This confines the client boundary exclusively to the `WebVitals` component.

## Web Vitals

[Web Vitals](https://web.dev/vitals/) are a set of useful metrics that aim to capture the user
experience of a web page. The following web vitals are all included:

* [Time to First Byte](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Time_to_first_byte) (TTFB)
* [First Contentful Paint](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/First_contentful_paint) (FCP)
* [Largest Contentful Paint](https://web.dev/lcp/) (LCP)
* [First Input Delay](https://web.dev/fid/) (FID)
* [Cumulative Layout Shift](https://web.dev/cls/) (CLS)
* [Interaction to Next Paint](https://web.dev/inp/) (INP)

You can handle all the results of these metrics using the `name` property.

```tsx filename="app/_components/web-vitals.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
    switch (metric.name) {
      case 'FCP': {
        // handle FCP results
      }
      case 'LCP': {
        // handle LCP results
      }
      // ...
    }
  })
}
```

```jsx filename="app/_components/web-vitals.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
    switch (metric.name) {
      case 'FCP': {
        // handle FCP results
      }
      case 'LCP': {
        // handle LCP results
      }
      // ...
    }
  })
}
```

## Sending results to external systems

You can send results to any endpoint to measure and track
real user performance on your site. For example:

```js
useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
  const body = JSON.stringify(metric)
  const url = 'https://example.com/analytics'

  // Use `navigator.sendBeacon()` if available, falling back to `fetch()`.
  if (navigator.sendBeacon) {
    navigator.sendBeacon(url, body)
  } else {
    fetch(url, { body, method: 'POST', keepalive: true })
  }
})
```

> **Good to know**: If you use [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/), using the
> `id` value can allow you to construct metric distributions manually (to calculate percentiles,
> etc.)

> ```js
> useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
>   // Use `window.gtag` if you initialized Google Analytics as this example:
>   // https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/examples/with-google-analytics
>   window.gtag('event', metric.name, {
>     value: Math.round(
>       metric.name === 'CLS' ? metric.value * 1000 : metric.value
>     ), // values must be integers
>     event_label: metric.id, // id unique to current page load
>     non_interaction: true, // avoids affecting bounce rate.
>   })
> })
> ```

# API Routes


<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [API Routes Request Helpers](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-proxy)
* [API Routes with GraphQL](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-graphql)
* [API Routes with REST](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-rest)
* [API Routes with CORS](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-cors)

</details>

> **Good to know**: If you are using the App Router, you can use [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) or [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) instead of API Routes.

API routes provide a solution to build a **public API** with Next.js.

Any file inside the folder `pages/api` is mapped to `/api/*` and will be treated as an API endpoint instead of a `page`. They are server-side only bundles and won't increase your client-side bundle size.

For example, the following API route returns a JSON response with a status code of `200`:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

type ResponseData = {
  message: string
}

export default function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>
) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * API Routes [do not specify CORS headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS), meaning they are **same-origin only** by default. You can customize such behavior by wrapping the request handler with the [CORS request helpers](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-cors).

* API Routes can't be used with [static exports](/docs/pages/guides/static-exports.md). However, [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) in the App Router can.
  > * API Routes will be affected by [`pageExtensions` configuration](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/pageExtensions.md) in `next.config.js`.

## Parameters

```tsx
export default function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  // ...
}
```

* `req`: An instance of [http.IncomingMessage](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#class-httpincomingmessage)
* `res`: An instance of [http.ServerResponse](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#class-httpserverresponse)

## HTTP Methods

To handle different HTTP methods in an API route, you can use `req.method` in your request handler, like so:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  if (req.method === 'POST') {
    // Process a POST request
  } else {
    // Handle any other HTTP method
  }
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default function handler(req, res) {
  if (req.method === 'POST') {
    // Process a POST request
  } else {
    // Handle any other HTTP method
  }
}
```

## Request Helpers

API Routes provide built-in request helpers which parse the incoming request (`req`):

* `req.cookies` - An object containing the cookies sent by the request. Defaults to `{}`
* `req.query` - An object containing the [query string](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string). Defaults to `{}`
* `req.body` - An object containing the body parsed by `content-type`, or `null` if no body was sent

### Custom config

Every API Route can export a `config` object to change the default configuration, which is the following:

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: {
      sizeLimit: '1mb',
    },
  },
  // Specifies the maximum allowed duration for this function to execute (in seconds)
  maxDuration: 5,
}
```

`bodyParser` is automatically enabled. If you want to consume the body as a `Stream` or with [`raw-body`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/raw-body), you can set this to `false`.

One use case for disabling the automatic `bodyParsing` is to allow you to verify the raw body of a **webhook** request, for example [from GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/securing-your-webhooks#validating-payloads-from-github).

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: false,
  },
}
```

`bodyParser.sizeLimit` is the maximum size allowed for the parsed body, in any format supported by [bytes](https://github.com/visionmedia/bytes.js), like so:

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: {
      sizeLimit: '500kb',
    },
  },
}
```

`externalResolver` is an explicit flag that tells the server that this route is being handled by an external resolver like *express* or *connect*. Enabling this option disables warnings for unresolved requests.

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    externalResolver: true,
  },
}
```

`responseLimit` is automatically enabled, warning when an API Routes' response body is over 4MB.

If you are not using Next.js in a serverless environment, and understand the performance implications of not using a CDN or dedicated media host, you can set this limit to `false`.

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    responseLimit: false,
  },
}
```

`responseLimit` can also take the number of bytes or any string format supported by `bytes`, for example `1000`, `'500kb'` or `'3mb'`.
This value will be the maximum response size before a warning is displayed. Default is 4MB. (see above)

```js
export const config = {
  api: {
    responseLimit: '8mb',
  },
}
```

## Response Helpers

The [Server Response object](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse), (often abbreviated as `res`) includes a set of Express.js-like helper methods to improve the developer experience and increase the speed of creating new API endpoints.

The included helpers are:

* `res.status(code)` - A function to set the status code. `code` must be a valid [HTTP status code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes)
* `res.json(body)` - Sends a JSON response. `body` must be a [serializable object](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Serialization)
* `res.send(body)` - Sends the HTTP response. `body` can be a `string`, an `object` or a `Buffer`
* `res.redirect([status,] path)` - Redirects to a specified path or URL. `status` must be a valid [HTTP status code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes). If not specified, `status` defaults to "307" "Temporary redirect".
* `res.revalidate(urlPath)` - [Revalidate a page on demand](/docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md#on-demand-revalidation-with-revalidatepath) using `getStaticProps`. `urlPath` must be a `string`.

### Setting the status code of a response

When sending a response back to the client, you can set the status code of the response.

The following example sets the status code of the response to `200` (`OK`) and returns a `message` property with the value of `Hello from Next.js!` as a JSON response:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

type ResponseData = {
  message: string
}

export default function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>
) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}
```

### Sending a JSON response

When sending a response back to the client you can send a JSON response, this must be a [serializable object](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Serialization).
In a real world application you might want to let the client know the status of the request depending on the result of the requested endpoint.

The following example sends a JSON response with the status code `200` (`OK`) and the result of the async operation. It's contained in a try catch block to handle any errors that may occur, with the appropriate status code and error message caught and sent back to the client:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  try {
    const result = await someAsyncOperation()
    res.status(200).json({ result })
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'failed to load data' })
  }
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  try {
    const result = await someAsyncOperation()
    res.status(200).json({ result })
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: 'failed to load data' })
  }
}
```

### Sending a HTTP response

Sending an HTTP response works the same way as when sending a JSON response. The only difference is that the response body can be a `string`, an `object` or a `Buffer`.

The following example sends a HTTP response with the status code `200` (`OK`) and the result of the async operation.

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  try {
    const result = await someAsyncOperation()
    res.status(200).send({ result })
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).send({ error: 'failed to fetch data' })
  }
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  try {
    const result = await someAsyncOperation()
    res.status(200).send({ result })
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).send({ error: 'failed to fetch data' })
  }
}
```

### Redirects to a specified path or URL

Taking a form as an example, you may want to redirect your client to a specified path or URL once they have submitted the form.

The following example redirects the client to the `/` path if the form is successfully submitted:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  const { name, message } = req.body

  try {
    await handleFormInputAsync({ name, message })
    res.redirect(307, '/')
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).send({ error: 'Failed to fetch data' })
  }
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const { name, message } = req.body

  try {
    await handleFormInputAsync({ name, message })
    res.redirect(307, '/')
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).send({ error: 'failed to fetch data' })
  }
}
```

### Adding TypeScript types

You can make your API Routes more type-safe by importing the `NextApiRequest` and `NextApiResponse` types from `next`, in addition to those, you can also type your response data:

```ts
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

type ResponseData = {
  message: string
}

export default function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse<ResponseData>
) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello from Next.js!' })
}
```

> **Good to know**: The body of `NextApiRequest` is `any` because the client may include any payload. You should validate the type/shape of the body at runtime before using it.

## Dynamic API Routes

API Routes support [dynamic routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md), and follow the same file naming rules used for `pages/`.

```ts filename="pages/api/post/[pid].ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  const { pid } = req.query
  res.end(`Post: ${pid}`)
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/post/[pid].js" switcher
export default function handler(req, res) {
  const { pid } = req.query
  res.end(`Post: ${pid}`)
}
```

Now, a request to `/api/post/abc` will respond with the text: `Post: abc`.

### Catch all API routes

API Routes can be extended to catch all paths by adding three dots (`...`) inside the brackets. For example:

* `pages/api/post/[...slug].js` matches `/api/post/a`, but also `/api/post/a/b`, `/api/post/a/b/c` and so on.

> **Good to know**: You can use names other than `slug`, such as: `[...param]`

Matched parameters will be sent as a query parameter (`slug` in the example) to the page, and it will always be an array, so, the path `/api/post/a` will have the following `query` object:

```json
{ "slug": ["a"] }
```

And in the case of `/api/post/a/b`, and any other matching path, new parameters will be added to the array, like so:

```json
{ "slug": ["a", "b"] }
```

For example:

```ts filename="pages/api/post/[...slug].ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  const { slug } = req.query
  res.end(`Post: ${slug.join(', ')}`)
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/post/[...slug].js" switcher
export default function handler(req, res) {
  const { slug } = req.query
  res.end(`Post: ${slug.join(', ')}`)
}
```

Now, a request to `/api/post/a/b/c` will respond with the text: `Post: a, b, c`.

### Optional catch all API routes

Catch all routes can be made optional by including the parameter in double brackets (`[[...slug]]`).

For example, `pages/api/post/[[...slug]].js` will match `/api/post`, `/api/post/a`, `/api/post/a/b`, and so on.

The main difference between catch all and optional catch all routes is that with optional, the route without the parameter is also matched (`/api/post` in the example above).

The `query` objects are as follows:

```json
{ } // GET `/api/post` (empty object)
{ "slug": ["a"] } // `GET /api/post/a` (single-element array)
{ "slug": ["a", "b"] } // `GET /api/post/a/b` (multi-element array)
```

### Caveats

* Predefined API routes take precedence over dynamic API routes, and dynamic API routes over catch all API routes. Take a look at the following examples:
  * `pages/api/post/create.js` - Will match `/api/post/create`
  * `pages/api/post/[pid].js` - Will match `/api/post/1`, `/api/post/abc`, etc. But not `/api/post/create`
  * `pages/api/post/[...slug].js` - Will match `/api/post/1/2`, `/api/post/a/b/c`, etc. But not `/api/post/create`, `/api/post/abc`

## Streaming responses

While the Pages Router does support streaming responses with API Routes, we recommend incrementally adopting the App Router and using [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) if you are on Next.js 14+.

Here's how you can stream a response from an API Route with `writeHead`:

```ts filename="pages/api/hello.ts" switcher
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  res.writeHead(200, {
    'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-store',
  })
  let i = 0
  while (i < 10) {
    res.write(`data: ${i}\n\n`)
    i++
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
  }
  res.end()
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/hello.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {
    'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-store',
  })
  let i = 0
  while (i < 10) {
    res.write(`data: ${i}\n\n`)
    i++
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
  }
  res.end()
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md

# favicon, icon, and apple-icon
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `favicon`, `icon`, or `apple-icon` file conventions allow you to set icons for your application.

They are useful for adding app icons that appear in places like web browser tabs, phone home screens, and search engine results.

There are two ways to set app icons:

* [Using image files (.ico, .jpg, .png)](#image-files-ico-jpg-png)
* [Using code to generate an icon (.js, .ts, .tsx)](#generate-icons-using-code-js-ts-tsx)

## Image files (.ico, .jpg, .png)

Use an image file to set an app icon by placing a `favicon`, `icon`, or `apple-icon` image file within your `/app` directory.
The `favicon` image can only be located in the top level of `app/`.

Next.js will evaluate the file and automatically add the appropriate tags to your app's `<head>` element.

| File convention             | Supported file types                    | Valid locations |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| [`favicon`](#favicon)       | `.ico`                                  | `app/`          |
| [`icon`](#icon)             | `.ico`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.svg` | `app/**/*`      |
| [`apple-icon`](#apple-icon) | `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`                 | `app/**/*`      |

### `favicon`

Add a `favicon.ico` image file to the root `/app` route segment.

```html filename="<head> output"
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="any" />
```

### `icon`

Add an `icon.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|svg)` image file.

```html filename="<head> output"
<link
  rel="icon"
  href="/icon?<generated>"
  type="image/<generated>"
  sizes="<generated>"
/>
```

### `apple-icon`

Add an `apple-icon.(jpg|jpeg|png)` image file.

```html filename="<head> output"
<link
  rel="apple-touch-icon"
  href="/apple-icon?<generated>"
  type="image/<generated>"
  sizes="<generated>"
/>
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * You can set multiple icons by adding a number suffix to the file name. For example, `icon1.png`, `icon2.png`, etc. Numbered files will sort lexically.
> * Favicons can only be set in the root `/app` segment. If you need more granularity, you can use [`icon`](#icon).
> * The appropriate `<link>` tags and attributes such as `rel`, `href`, `type`, and `sizes` are determined by the icon type and metadata of the evaluated file.
> * For example, a 32 by 32px `.png` file will have `type="image/png"` and `sizes="32x32"` attributes.
> * `sizes="any"` is added to icons when the extension is `.svg` or the image size of the file is not determined. More details in this [favicon handbook](https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/how-to-favicon-in-2021-six-files-that-fit-most-needs).

## Generate icons using code (.js, .ts, .tsx)

In addition to using [literal image files](#image-files-ico-jpg-png), you can programmatically **generate** icons using code.

Generate an app icon by creating an `icon` or `apple-icon` route that default exports a function.

| File convention | Supported file types |
| --------------- | -------------------- |
| `icon`          | `.js`, `.ts`, `.tsx` |
| `apple-icon`    | `.js`, `.ts`, `.tsx` |

The easiest way to generate an icon is to use the [`ImageResponse`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/image-response.md) API from `next/og`.

```tsx filename="app/icon.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

// Image metadata
export const size = {
  width: 32,
  height: 32,
}
export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default function Icon() {
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 24,
          background: 'black',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
          color: 'white',
        }}
      >
        A
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported icons size metadata
      // config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
    }
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/icon.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

// Image metadata
export const size = {
  width: 32,
  height: 32,
}
export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default function Icon() {
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 24,
          background: 'black',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
          color: 'white',
        }}
      >
        A
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported icons size metadata
      // config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
    }
  )
}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<link rel="icon" href="/icon?<generated>" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" />
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * By default, generated icons are [**statically optimized**](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) (generated at build time and cached) unless they use [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) or uncached data.
> * You can generate multiple icons in the same file using [`generateImageMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-image-metadata.md).
> * You cannot generate a `favicon` icon. Use [`icon`](#icon) or a [favicon.ico](#favicon) file instead.
> * App icons are special Route Handlers that are cached by default unless they use a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-apis) or [dynamic config](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#segment-config-options) option.

### Props

The default export function receives the following props:

#### `params` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) object from the root segment down to the segment `icon` or `apple-icon` is colocated in.

> **Good to know**: If you use [`generateImageMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-image-metadata.md), the function will also receive an `id` prop that is a promise resolving to the `id` value from one of the items returned by `generateImageMetadata`.

```tsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/icon.tsx" switcher
export default async function Icon({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/icon.js" switcher
export default async function Icon({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

| Route                           | URL         | `params`                           |
| ------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `app/shop/icon.js`              | `/shop`     | `undefined`                        |
| `app/shop/[slug]/icon.js`       | `/shop/1`   | `Promise<{ slug: '1' }>`           |
| `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/icon.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `Promise<{ tag: '1', item: '2' }>` |

### Returns

The default export function should return a `Blob` | `ArrayBuffer` | `TypedArray` | `DataView` | `ReadableStream` | `Response`.

> **Good to know**: `ImageResponse` satisfies this return type.

### Config exports

You can optionally configure the icon's metadata by exporting `size` and `contentType` variables from the `icon` or `apple-icon` route.

| Option                        | Type                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`size`](#size)               | `{ width: number; height: number }`                                                                             |
| [`contentType`](#contenttype) | `string` - [image MIME type](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types#image_types) |

#### `size`

```tsx filename="icon.tsx | apple-icon.tsx" switcher
export const size = { width: 32, height: 32 }

export default function Icon() {}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js | apple-icon.js" switcher
export const size = { width: 32, height: 32 }

export default function Icon() {}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<link rel="icon" sizes="32x32" />
```

#### `contentType`

```tsx filename="icon.tsx | apple-icon.tsx" switcher
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default function Icon() {}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js | apple-icon.js" switcher
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default function Icon() {}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" />
```

#### Route Segment Config

`icon` and `apple-icon` are specialized [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) that can use the same [route segment configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) options as Pages and Layouts.

# How to migrate from Pages to the App Router
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This guide will help you:

* [Update your Next.js application from version 12 to version 13](#nextjs-version)
* [Upgrade features that work in both the `pages` and the `app` directories](#upgrading-new-features)
* [Incrementally migrate your existing application from `pages` to `app`](#migrating-from-pages-to-app)

## Upgrading

### Node.js Version

The minimum Node.js version is now **v18.17**. See the [Node.js documentation](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v18.x/api/) for more information.

### Next.js Version

To update to Next.js version 13, run the following command using your preferred package manager:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

### ESLint Version

If you're using ESLint, you need to upgrade your ESLint version:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -D eslint-config-next@latest
```

> **Good to know**: You may need to restart the ESLint server in VS Code for the ESLint changes to take effect. Open the Command Palette (`cmd+shift+p` on Mac; `ctrl+shift+p` on Windows) and search for `ESLint: Restart ESLint Server`.

## Next Steps

After you've updated, see the following sections for next steps:

* [Upgrade new features](#upgrading-new-features): A guide to help you upgrade to new features such as the improved Image and Link Components.
* [Migrate from the `pages` to `app` directory](#migrating-from-pages-to-app): A step-by-step guide to help you incrementally migrate from the `pages` to the `app` directory.

## Upgrading New Features

Next.js 13 introduced the new [App Router](/docs/app.md) with new features and conventions. The new Router is available in the `app` directory and co-exists with the `pages` directory.

Upgrading to Next.js 13 does **not** require using the App Router. You can continue using `pages` with new features that work in both directories, such as the updated [Image component](#image-component), [Link component](#link-component), [Script component](#script-component), and [Font optimization](#font-optimization).

### `<Image/>` Component

Next.js 12 introduced new improvements to the Image Component with a temporary import: `next/future/image`. These improvements included less client-side JavaScript, easier ways to extend and style images, better accessibility, and native browser lazy loading.

In version 13, this new behavior is now the default for `next/image`.

There are two codemods to help you migrate to the new Image Component:

* [**`next-image-to-legacy-image` codemod**](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-to-legacy-image): Safely and automatically renames `next/image` imports to `next/legacy/image`. Existing components will maintain the same behavior.
* [**`next-image-experimental` codemod**](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-experimental): Dangerously adds inline styles and removes unused props. This will change the behavior of existing components to match the new defaults. To use this codemod, you need to run the `next-image-to-legacy-image` codemod first.

### `<Link>` Component

The [`<Link>` Component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) no longer requires manually adding an `<a>` tag as a child. This behavior was added as an experimental option in [version 12.2](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12-2) and is now the default. In Next.js 13, `<Link>` always renders `<a>` and allows you to forward props to the underlying tag.

For example:

```jsx
import Link from 'next/link'

// Next.js 12: `<a>` has to be nested otherwise it's excluded
<Link href="/about">
  <a>About</a>
</Link>

// Next.js 13: `<Link>` always renders `<a>` under the hood
<Link href="/about">
  About
</Link>
```

To upgrade your links to Next.js 13, you can use the [`new-link` codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#new-link).

### `<Script>` Component

The behavior of [`next/script`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/script.md) has been updated to support both `pages` and `app`, but some changes need to be made to ensure a smooth migration:

* Move any `beforeInteractive` scripts you previously included in `_document.js` to the root layout file (`app/layout.tsx`).
* The experimental `worker` strategy does not yet work in `app` and scripts denoted with this strategy will either have to be removed or modified to use a different strategy (e.g. `lazyOnload`).
* `onLoad`, `onReady`, and `onError` handlers will not work in Server Components so make sure to move them to a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) or remove them altogether.

### Font Optimization

Previously, Next.js helped you optimize fonts by [inlining font CSS](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md). Version 13 introduces the new [`next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md) module which gives you the ability to customize your font loading experience while still ensuring great performance and privacy. `next/font` is supported in both the `pages` and `app` directories.

While [inlining CSS](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md) still works in `pages`, it does not work in `app`. You should use [`next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md) instead.

See the [Font Optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md) page to learn how to use `next/font`.

## Migrating from `pages` to `app`

> **🎥 Watch:** Learn how to incrementally adopt the App Router → [YouTube (16 minutes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQMSietiFm0).

Moving to the App Router may be the first time using React features that Next.js builds on top of such as Server Components, Suspense, and more. When combined with new Next.js features such as [special files](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions.md) and [layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), migration means new concepts, mental models, and behavioral changes to learn.

We recommend reducing the combined complexity of these updates by breaking down your migration into smaller steps. The `app` directory is intentionally designed to work simultaneously with the `pages` directory to allow for incremental page-by-page migration.

* The `app` directory supports nested routes *and* layouts. [Learn more](/docs/app/getting-started/layouts-and-pages.md).
* Use nested folders to define routes and a special `page.js` file to make a route segment publicly accessible. [Learn more](#step-4-migrating-pages).
* [Special file conventions](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions.md) are used to create UI for each route segment. The most common special files are `page.js` and `layout.js`.
  * Use `page.js` to define UI unique to a route.
  * Use `layout.js` to define UI that is shared across multiple routes.
  * `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.tsx` file extensions can be used for special files.
* You can colocate other files inside the `app` directory such as components, styles, tests, and more. [Learn more](/docs/app.md).
* Data fetching functions like `getServerSideProps` and `getStaticProps` have been replaced with [a new API](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md) inside `app`. `getStaticPaths` has been replaced with [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md).
* `pages/_app.js` and `pages/_document.js` have been replaced with a single `app/layout.js` root layout. [Learn more](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout).
* `pages/_error.js` has been replaced with more granular `error.js` special files. [Learn more](/docs/app/getting-started/error-handling.md).
* `pages/404.js` has been replaced with the [`not-found.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md) file.
* `pages/api/*` API Routes have been replaced with the [`route.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) (Route Handler) special file.

### Step 1: Creating the `app` directory

Update to the latest Next.js version (requires 13.4 or greater):

```bash
npm install next@latest
```

Then, create a new `app` directory at the root of your project (or `src/` directory).

### Step 2: Creating a Root Layout

Create a new `app/layout.tsx` file inside the `app` directory. This is a [root layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout) that will apply to all routes inside `app`.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  // Layouts must accept a children prop.
  // This will be populated with nested layouts or pages
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  // Layouts must accept a children prop.
  // This will be populated with nested layouts or pages
  children,
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

* The `app` directory **must** include a root layout.
* The root layout must define `<html>`, and `<body>` tags since Next.js does not automatically create them
* The root layout replaces the `pages/_app.tsx` and `pages/_document.tsx` files.
* `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.tsx` extensions can be used for layout files.

To manage `<head>` HTML elements, you can use the [built-in SEO support](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md):

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Home',
  description: 'Welcome to Next.js',
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Home',
  description: 'Welcome to Next.js',
}
```

#### Migrating `_document.js` and `_app.js`

If you have an existing `_app` or `_document` file, you can copy the contents (e.g. global styles) to the root layout (`app/layout.tsx`). Styles in `app/layout.tsx` will *not* apply to `pages/*`. You should keep `_app`/`_document` while migrating to prevent your `pages/*` routes from breaking. Once fully migrated, you can then safely delete them.

If you are using any React Context providers, they will need to be moved to a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md).

#### Migrating the `getLayout()` pattern to Layouts (Optional)

Next.js recommended adding a [property to Page components](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts.md#layout-pattern) to achieve per-page layouts in the `pages` directory. This pattern can be replaced with native support for [nested layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) in the `app` directory.

<details>
<summary>See before and after example</summary>

**Before**

```jsx filename="components/DashboardLayout.js"
export default function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>My Dashboard</h2>
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/dashboard/index.js"
import DashboardLayout from '../components/DashboardLayout'

export default function Page() {
  return <p>My Page</p>
}

Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page) {
  return <DashboardLayout>{page}</DashboardLayout>
}
```

**After**

* Remove the `Page.getLayout` property from `pages/dashboard/index.js` and follow the [steps for migrating pages](#step-4-migrating-pages) to the `app` directory.

  ```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js"
  export default function Page() {
    return <p>My Page</p>
  }
  ```

* Move the contents of `DashboardLayout` into a new [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) to retain `pages` directory behavior.

  ```jsx filename="app/dashboard/DashboardLayout.js"
  'use client' // this directive should be at top of the file, before any imports.

  // This is a Client Component
  export default function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
    return (
      <div>
        <h2>My Dashboard</h2>
        {children}
      </div>
    )
  }
  ```

* Import the `DashboardLayout` into a new `layout.js` file inside the `app` directory.

  ```jsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.js"
  import DashboardLayout from './DashboardLayout'

  // This is a Server Component
  export default function Layout({ children }) {
    return <DashboardLayout>{children}</DashboardLayout>
  }
  ```

* You can incrementally move non-interactive parts of `DashboardLayout.js` (Client Component) into `layout.js` (Server Component) to reduce the amount of component JavaScript you send to the client.

</details>

### Step 3: Migrating `next/head`

In the `pages` directory, the `next/head` React component is used to manage `<head>` HTML elements such as `title` and `meta` . In the `app` directory, `next/head` is replaced with the new [built-in SEO support](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md).

**Before:**

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
import Head from 'next/head'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Head>
        <title>My page title</title>
      </Head>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
import Head from 'next/head'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Head>
        <title>My page title</title>
      </Head>
    </>
  )
}
```

**After:**

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'My Page Title',
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My Page Title',
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...'
}
```

[See all metadata options](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md).

### Step 4: Migrating Pages

* Pages in the [`app` directory](/docs/app.md) are [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) by default. This is different from the `pages` directory where pages are [Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md).
* [Data fetching](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md) has changed in `app`. `getServerSideProps`, `getStaticProps` and `getInitialProps` have been replaced with a simpler API.
* The `app` directory uses nested folders to define routes and a special `page.js` file to make a route segment publicly accessible.
* | `pages` Directory | `app` Directory       | Route          |
  | ----------------- | --------------------- | -------------- |
  | `index.js`        | `page.js`             | `/`            |
  | `about.js`        | `about/page.js`       | `/about`       |
  | `blog/[slug].js`  | `blog/[slug]/page.js` | `/blog/post-1` |

We recommend breaking down the migration of a page into two main steps:

* Step 1: Move the default exported Page Component into a new Client Component.
* Step 2: Import the new Client Component into a new `page.js` file inside the `app` directory.

> **Good to know**: This is the easiest migration path because it has the most comparable behavior to the `pages` directory.

**Step 1: Create a new Client Component**

* Create a new separate file inside the `app` directory (i.e. `app/home-page.tsx` or similar) that exports a Client Component. To define Client Components, add the `'use client'` directive to the top of the file (before any imports).
  * Similar to the Pages Router, there is an [optimization step](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#on-the-client-first-load) to prerender Client Components to static HTML on the initial page load.
* Move the default exported page component from `pages/index.js` to `app/home-page.tsx`.

```tsx filename="app/home-page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

// This is a Client Component (same as components in the `pages` directory)
// It receives data as props, has access to state and effects, and is
// prerendered on the server during the initial page load.
export default function HomePage({ recentPosts }) {
  return (
    <div>
      {recentPosts.map((post) => (
        <div key={post.id}>{post.title}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/home-page.js" switcher
'use client'

// This is a Client Component. It receives data as props and
// has access to state and effects just like Page components
// in the `pages` directory.
export default function HomePage({ recentPosts }) {
  return (
    <div>
      {recentPosts.map((post) => (
        <div key={post.id}>{post.title}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
```

**Step 2: Create a new page**

* Create a new `app/page.tsx` file inside the `app` directory. This is a Server Component by default.

* Import the `home-page.tsx` Client Component into the page.

* If you were fetching data in `pages/index.js`, move the data fetching logic directly into the Server Component using the new [data fetching APIs](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md). See the [data fetching upgrade guide](#step-6-migrating-data-fetching-methods) for more details.

  ```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
  // Import your Client Component
  import HomePage from './home-page'

  async function getPosts() {
    const res = await fetch('https://...')
    const posts = await res.json()
    return posts
  }

  export default async function Page() {
    // Fetch data directly in a Server Component
    const recentPosts = await getPosts()
    // Forward fetched data to your Client Component
    return <HomePage recentPosts={recentPosts} />
  }
  ```

  ```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
  // Import your Client Component
  import HomePage from './home-page'

  async function getPosts() {
    const res = await fetch('https://...')
    const posts = await res.json()
    return posts
  }

  export default async function Page() {
    // Fetch data directly in a Server Component
    const recentPosts = await getPosts()
    // Forward fetched data to your Client Component
    return <HomePage recentPosts={recentPosts} />
  }
  ```

* If your previous page used `useRouter`, you'll need to update to the new routing hooks. [Learn more](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md).

* Start your development server and visit [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000). You should see your existing index route, now served through the app directory.

### Step 5: Migrating Routing Hooks

A new router has been added to support the new behavior in the `app` directory.

In `app`, you should use the three new hooks imported from `next/navigation`: [`useRouter()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md), [`usePathname()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md), and [`useSearchParams()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md).

* The new `useRouter` hook is imported from `next/navigation` and has different behavior to the `useRouter` hook in `pages` which is imported from `next/router`.
  * The [`useRouter` hook imported from `next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) is not supported in the `app` directory but can continue to be used in the `pages` directory.
* The new `useRouter` does not return the `pathname` string. Use the separate `usePathname` hook instead.
* The new `useRouter` does not return the `query` object. Search parameters and dynamic route parameters are now separate. Use the `useSearchParams` and `useParams` hooks instead.
* You can use `useSearchParams` and `usePathname` together to listen to page changes. See the [Router Events](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#router-events) section for more details.
* These new hooks are only supported in Client Components. They cannot be used in Server Components.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter, usePathname, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter, usePathname, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  // ...
}
```

In addition, the new `useRouter` hook has the following changes:

* `isFallback` has been removed because `fallback` has [been replaced](#replacing-fallback).
* The `locale`, `locales`, `defaultLocales`, `domainLocales` values have been removed because built-in i18n Next.js features are no longer necessary in the `app` directory. [Learn more about i18n](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md).
* `basePath` has been removed. The alternative will not be part of `useRouter`. It has not yet been implemented.
* `asPath` has been removed because the concept of `as` has been removed from the new router.
* `isReady` has been removed because it is no longer necessary. During [static rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering), any component that uses the [`useSearchParams()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md) hook will skip the prerendering step and instead be rendered on the client at runtime.
* `route` has been removed. `usePathname` or `useSelectedLayoutSegments()` provide an alternative.

[View the `useRouter()` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md).

#### Sharing components between `pages` and `app`

To keep components compatible between the `pages` and `app` routers, refer to the [`useRouter` hook from `next/compat/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#the-nextcompatrouter-export).
This is the `useRouter` hook from the `pages` directory, but intended to be used while sharing components between routers. Once you are ready to use it only on the `app` router, update to the new [`useRouter` from `next/navigation`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md).

### Step 6: Migrating Data Fetching Methods

The `pages` directory uses `getServerSideProps` and `getStaticProps` to fetch data for pages. Inside the `app` directory, these previous data fetching functions are replaced with a [simpler API](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md) built on top of `fetch()` and `async` React Server Components.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  // This request should be cached until manually invalidated.
  // Similar to `getStaticProps`.
  // `force-cache` is the default and can be omitted.
  const staticData = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'force-cache' })

  // This request should be refetched on every request.
  // Similar to `getServerSideProps`.
  const dynamicData = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'no-store' })

  // This request should be cached with a lifetime of 10 seconds.
  // Similar to `getStaticProps` with the `revalidate` option.
  const revalidatedData = await fetch(`https://...`, {
    next: { revalidate: 10 },
  })

  return <div>...</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  // This request should be cached until manually invalidated.
  // Similar to `getStaticProps`.
  // `force-cache` is the default and can be omitted.
  const staticData = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'force-cache' })

  // This request should be refetched on every request.
  // Similar to `getServerSideProps`.
  const dynamicData = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'no-store' })

  // This request should be cached with a lifetime of 10 seconds.
  // Similar to `getStaticProps` with the `revalidate` option.
  const revalidatedData = await fetch(`https://...`, {
    next: { revalidate: 10 },
  })

  return <div>...</div>
}
```

#### Server-side Rendering (`getServerSideProps`)

In the `pages` directory, `getServerSideProps` is used to fetch data on the server and forward props to the default exported React component in the file. The initial HTML for the page is prerendered from the server, followed by "hydrating" the page in the browser (making it interactive).

```jsx filename="pages/dashboard.js"
// `pages` directory

export async function getServerSideProps() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`)
  const projects = await res.json()

  return { props: { projects } }
}

export default function Dashboard({ projects }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {projects.map((project) => (
        <li key={project.id}>{project.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

In the App Router, we can colocate our data fetching inside our React components using [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md). This allows us to send less JavaScript to the client, while maintaining the rendered HTML from the server.

By setting the `cache` option to `no-store`, we can indicate that the fetched data should [never be cached](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md). This is similar to `getServerSideProps` in the `pages` directory.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
// `app` directory

// This function can be named anything
async function getProjects() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'no-store' })
  const projects = await res.json()

  return projects
}

export default async function Dashboard() {
  const projects = await getProjects()

  return (
    <ul>
      {projects.map((project) => (
        <li key={project.id}>{project.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
// `app` directory

// This function can be named anything
async function getProjects() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'no-store' })
  const projects = await res.json()

  return projects
}

export default async function Dashboard() {
  const projects = await getProjects()

  return (
    <ul>
      {projects.map((project) => (
        <li key={project.id}>{project.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

#### Accessing Request Object

In the `pages` directory, you can retrieve request-based data based on the Node.js HTTP API.

For example, you can retrieve the `req` object from `getServerSideProps` and use it to retrieve the request's cookies and headers.

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
// `pages` directory

export async function getServerSideProps({ req, query }) {
  const authHeader = req.getHeaders()['authorization'];
  const theme = req.cookies['theme'];

  return { props: { ... }}
}

export default function Page(props) {
  return ...
}
```

The `app` directory exposes new read-only functions to retrieve request data:

* [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md): Based on the Web Headers API, and can be used inside [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) to retrieve request headers.
* [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md): Based on the Web Cookies API, and can be used inside [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) to retrieve cookies.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
// `app` directory
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'

async function getData() {
  const authHeader = (await headers()).get('authorization')

  return '...'
}

export default async function Page() {
  // You can use `cookies` or `headers` inside Server Components
  // directly or in your data fetching function
  const theme = (await cookies()).get('theme')
  const data = await getData()
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
// `app` directory
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'

async function getData() {
  const authHeader = (await headers()).get('authorization')

  return '...'
}

export default async function Page() {
  // You can use `cookies` or `headers` inside Server Components
  // directly or in your data fetching function
  const theme = (await cookies()).get('theme')
  const data = await getData()
  return '...'
}
```

#### Static Site Generation (`getStaticProps`)

In the `pages` directory, the `getStaticProps` function is used to pre-render a page at build time. This function can be used to fetch data from an external API or directly from a database, and pass this data down to the entire page as it's being generated during the build.

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
// `pages` directory

export async function getStaticProps() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`)
  const projects = await res.json()

  return { props: { projects } }
}

export default function Index({ projects }) {
  return projects.map((project) => <div>{project.name}</div>)
}
```

In the `app` directory, data fetching with [`fetch()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) will default to `cache: 'force-cache'`, which will cache the request data until manually invalidated. This is similar to `getStaticProps` in the `pages` directory.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
// `app` directory

// This function can be named anything
async function getProjects() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`)
  const projects = await res.json()

  return projects
}

export default async function Index() {
  const projects = await getProjects()

  return projects.map((project) => <div>{project.name}</div>)
}
```

#### Dynamic paths (`getStaticPaths`)

In the `pages` directory, the `getStaticPaths` function is used to define the dynamic paths that should be pre-rendered at build time.

```jsx filename="pages/posts/[id].js"
// `pages` directory
import PostLayout from '@/components/post-layout'

export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return {
    paths: [{ params: { id: '1' } }, { params: { id: '2' } }],
  }
}

export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts/${params.id}`)
  const post = await res.json()

  return { props: { post } }
}

export default function Post({ post }) {
  return <PostLayout post={post} />
}
```

In the `app` directory, `getStaticPaths` is replaced with [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md).

[`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) behaves similarly to `getStaticPaths`, but has a simplified API for returning route parameters and can be used inside [layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md). The return shape of `generateStaticParams` is an array of segments instead of an array of nested `param` objects or a string of resolved paths.

```jsx filename="app/posts/[id]/page.js"
// `app` directory
import PostLayout from '@/components/post-layout'

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ id: '1' }, { id: '2' }]
}

async function getPost(params) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts/${(await params).id}`)
  const post = await res.json()

  return post
}

export default async function Post({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params)

  return <PostLayout post={post} />
}
```

Using the name `generateStaticParams` is more appropriate than `getStaticPaths` for the new model in the `app` directory. The `get` prefix is replaced with a more descriptive `generate`, which sits better alone now that `getStaticProps` and `getServerSideProps` are no longer necessary. The `Paths` suffix is replaced by `Params`, which is more appropriate for nested routing with multiple dynamic segments.

***

#### Replacing `fallback`

In the `pages` directory, the `fallback` property returned from `getStaticPaths` is used to define the behavior of a page that isn't pre-rendered at build time. This property can be set to `true` to show a fallback page while the page is being generated, `false` to show a 404 page, or `blocking` to generate the page at request time.

```jsx filename="pages/posts/[id].js"
// `pages` directory

export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return {
    paths: [],
    fallback: 'blocking'
  };
}

export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
  ...
}

export default function Post({ post }) {
  return ...
}
```

In the `app` directory the [`config.dynamicParams` property](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams) controls how params outside of [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) are handled:

* **`true`**: (default) Dynamic segments not included in `generateStaticParams` are generated on demand.
* **`false`**: Dynamic segments not included in `generateStaticParams` will return a 404.

This replaces the `fallback: true | false | 'blocking'` option of `getStaticPaths` in the `pages` directory. The `fallback: 'blocking'` option is not included in `dynamicParams` because the difference between `'blocking'` and `true` is negligible with streaming.

```jsx filename="app/posts/[id]/page.js"
// `app` directory

export const dynamicParams = true;

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return [...]
}

async function getPost(params) {
  ...
}

export default async function Post({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params);

  return ...
}
```

With [`dynamicParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams) set to `true` (the default), when a route segment is requested that hasn't been generated, it will be server-rendered and cached.

#### Incremental Static Regeneration (`getStaticProps` with `revalidate`)

In the `pages` directory, the `getStaticProps` function allows you to add a `revalidate` field to automatically regenerate a page after a certain amount of time.

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
// `pages` directory

export async function getStaticProps() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts`)
  const posts = await res.json()

  return {
    props: { posts },
    revalidate: 60,
  }
}

export default function Index({ posts }) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <PostList posts={posts} />
    </Layout>
  )
}
```

In the `app` directory, data fetching with [`fetch()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) can use `revalidate`, which will cache the request for the specified amount of seconds.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
// `app` directory

async function getPosts() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts`, { next: { revalidate: 60 } })
  const data = await res.json()

  return data.posts
}

export default async function PostList() {
  const posts = await getPosts()

  return posts.map((post) => <div>{post.name}</div>)
}
```

#### API Routes

API Routes continue to work in the `pages/api` directory without any changes. However, they have been replaced by [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) in the `app` directory.

Route Handlers allow you to create custom request handlers for a given route using the Web [Request](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) and [Response](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Response) APIs.

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {}
```

> **Good to know**: If you previously used API routes to call an external API from the client, you can now use [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) instead to securely fetch data. Learn more about [data fetching](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md).

#### Single-Page Applications

If you are also migrating to Next.js from a Single-Page Application (SPA) at the same time, see our [documentation](/docs/app/guides/single-page-applications.md) to learn more.

### Step 7: Styling

In the `pages` directory, global stylesheets are restricted to only `pages/_app.js`. With the `app` directory, this restriction has been lifted. Global styles can be added to any layout, page, or component.

* [CSS Modules](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#css-modules)
* [Tailwind CSS](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#tailwind-css)
* [Global Styles](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#global-css)
* [CSS-in-JS](/docs/app/guides/css-in-js.md)
* [External Stylesheets](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#external-stylesheets)
* [Sass](/docs/app/guides/sass.md)

#### Tailwind CSS

If you're using Tailwind CSS, you'll need to add the `app` directory to your `tailwind.config.js` file:

```js filename="tailwind.config.js"
module.exports = {
  content: [
    './app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}', // <-- Add this line
    './pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
    './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
  ],
}
```

You'll also need to import your global styles in your `app/layout.js` file:

```jsx filename="app/layout.js"
import '../styles/globals.css'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Learn more about [styling with Tailwind CSS](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#tailwind-css)

## Using App Router together with Pages Router

When navigating between routes served by the different Next.js routers, there will be a hard navigation. Automatic link prefetching with `next/link` will not prefetch across routers.

Instead, you can [optimize navigations](https://vercel.com/guides/optimizing-hard-navigations) between App Router and Pages Router to retain the prefetched and fast page transitions. [Learn more](https://vercel.com/guides/optimizing-hard-navigations).

## Codemods

Next.js provides Codemod transformations to help upgrade your codebase when a feature is deprecated. See [Codemods](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md) for more information.

> **Good to know**: Next.js 9.5+ added support for a customizable [Base Path](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md), which is better

> We do not suggest you use a custom Asset Prefix for this use case.

## Set up a CDN

To set up a [CDN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network), you can set up an asset prefix and configure your CDN's origin to resolve to the domain that Next.js is hosted on.

Open `next.config.mjs` and add the `assetPrefix` config based on the [phase](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md#async-configuration):

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
// @ts-check
import { PHASE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER } from 'next/constants'

export default (phase) => {
  const isDev = phase === PHASE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER
  /**
   * @type {import('next').NextConfig}
   */
  const nextConfig = {
    assetPrefix: isDev ? undefined : 'https://cdn.mydomain.com',
  }
  return nextConfig
}
```

Next.js will automatically use your asset prefix for the JavaScript and CSS files it loads from the `/_next/` path (`.next/static/` folder). For example, with the above configuration, the following request for a JS chunk:

```
/_next/static/chunks/4b9b41aaa062cbbfeff4add70f256968c51ece5d.4d708494b3aed70c04f0.js
```

Would instead become:

```
https://cdn.mydomain.com/_next/static/chunks/4b9b41aaa062cbbfeff4add70f256968c51ece5d.4d708494b3aed70c04f0.js
```

The exact configuration for uploading your files to a given CDN will depend on your CDN of choice. The only folder you need to host on your CDN is the contents of `.next/static/`, which should be uploaded as `_next/static/` as the above URL request indicates. **Do not upload the rest of your `.next/` folder**, as you should not expose your server code and other configuration to the public.

While `assetPrefix` covers requests to `_next/static`, it does not influence the following paths:

* Files in the [public](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md) folder; if you want to serve those assets over a CDN, you'll have to introduce the prefix yourself

# How to implement authentication in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Understanding authentication is crucial for protecting your application's data. This page will guide you through what React and Next.js features to use to implement auth.

Before starting, it helps to break down the process into three concepts:

1. **[Authentication](#authentication)**: Verifies if the user is who they say they are. It requires the user to prove their identity with something they have, such as a username and password.
2. **[Session Management](#session-management)**: Tracks the user's auth state across requests.
3. **[Authorization](#authorization)**: Decides what routes and data the user can access.

This diagram shows the authentication flow using React and Next.js features:

![Diagram showing the authentication flow with React and Next.js features](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/authentication-overview.png)

The examples on this page walk through basic username and password auth for educational purposes. While you can implement a custom auth solution, for increased security and simplicity, we recommend using an authentication library. These offer built-in solutions for authentication, session management, and authorization, as well as additional features such as social logins, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access control. You can find a list in the [Auth Libraries](#auth-libraries) section.

## Authentication

### Sign-up and login functionality

You can use the [`<form>`](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/form) element with React's [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) and `useActionState` to capture user credentials, validate form fields, and call your Authentication Provider's API or database.

Since Server Actions always execute on the server, they provide a secure environment for handling authentication logic.

Here are the steps to implement signup/login functionality:

#### 1. Capture user credentials

To capture user credentials, create a form that invokes a Server Action on submission. For example, a signup form that accepts the user's name, email, and password:

```tsx filename="app/ui/signup-form.tsx" switcher
import { signup } from '@/app/actions/auth'

export function SignupForm() {
  return (
    <form action={signup}>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
        <input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
        <input id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
        <input id="password" name="password" type="password" />
      </div>
      <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/signup-form.js" switcher
import { signup } from '@/app/actions/auth'

export function SignupForm() {
  return (
    <form action={signup}>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
        <input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
        <input id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
        <input id="password" name="password" type="password" />
      </div>
      <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/actions/auth.ts" switcher
export async function signup(formData: FormData) {}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions/auth.js" switcher
export async function signup(formData) {}
```

#### 2. Validate form fields on the server

Use the Server Action to validate the form fields on the server. If your authentication provider doesn't provide form validation, you can use a schema validation library like [Zod](https://zod.dev/) or [Yup](https://github.com/jquense/yup).

Using Zod as an example, you can define a form schema with appropriate error messages:

```ts filename="app/lib/definitions.ts" switcher
import * as z from 'zod'

export const SignupFormSchema = z.object({
  name: z
    .string()
    .min(2, { error: 'Name must be at least 2 characters long.' })
    .trim(),
  email: z.email({ error: 'Please enter a valid email.' }).trim(),
  password: z
    .string()
    .min(8, { error: 'Be at least 8 characters long' })
    .regex(/[a-zA-Z]/, { error: 'Contain at least one letter.' })
    .regex(/[0-9]/, { error: 'Contain at least one number.' })
    .regex(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/, {
      error: 'Contain at least one special character.',
    })
    .trim(),
})

export type FormState =
  | {
      errors?: {
        name?: string[]
        email?: string[]
        password?: string[]
      }
      message?: string
    }
  | undefined
```

```js filename="app/lib/definitions.js" switcher
import * as z from 'zod'

export const SignupFormSchema = z.object({
  name: z
    .string()
    .min(2, { error: 'Name must be at least 2 characters long.' })
    .trim(),
  email: z.email({ error: 'Please enter a valid email.' }).trim(),
  password: z
    .string()
    .min(8, { error: 'Be at least 8 characters long' })
    .regex(/[a-zA-Z]/, { error: 'Contain at least one letter.' })
    .regex(/[0-9]/, { error: 'Contain at least one number.' })
    .regex(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/, {
      error: 'Contain at least one special character.',
    })
    .trim(),
})
```

To prevent unnecessary calls to your authentication provider's API or database, you can `return` early in the Server Action if any form fields do not match the defined schema.

```ts filename="app/actions/auth.ts" switcher
import { SignupFormSchema, FormState } from '@/app/lib/definitions'

export async function signup(state: FormState, formData: FormData) {
  // Validate form fields
  const validatedFields = SignupFormSchema.safeParse({
    name: formData.get('name'),
    email: formData.get('email'),
    password: formData.get('password'),
  })

  // If any form fields are invalid, return early
  if (!validatedFields.success) {
    return {
      errors: validatedFields.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
    }
  }

  // Call the provider or db to create a user...
}
```

```js filename="app/actions/auth.js" switcher
import { SignupFormSchema } from '@/app/lib/definitions'

export async function signup(state, formData) {
  // Validate form fields
  const validatedFields = SignupFormSchema.safeParse({
    name: formData.get('name'),
    email: formData.get('email'),
    password: formData.get('password'),
  })

  // If any form fields are invalid, return early
  if (!validatedFields.success) {
    return {
      errors: validatedFields.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
    }
  }

  // Call the provider or db to create a user...
}
```

Back in your `<SignupForm />`, you can use React's `useActionState` hook to display validation errors while the form is submitting:

```tsx filename="app/ui/signup-form.tsx" switcher highlight={7,15,21,27-36}
'use client'

import { signup } from '@/app/actions/auth'
import { useActionState } from 'react'

export default function SignupForm() {
  const [state, action, pending] = useActionState(signup, undefined)

  return (
    <form action={action}>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
        <input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.name && <p>{state.errors.name}</p>}

      <div>
        <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
        <input id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.email && <p>{state.errors.email}</p>}

      <div>
        <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
        <input id="password" name="password" type="password" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.password && (
        <div>
          <p>Password must:</p>
          <ul>
            {state.errors.password.map((error) => (
              <li key={error}>- {error}</li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </div>
      )}
      <button disabled={pending} type="submit">
        Sign Up
      </button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/signup-form.js" switcher highlight={7,15,21,27-36}
'use client'

import { signup } from '@/app/actions/auth'
import { useActionState } from 'react'

export default function SignupForm() {
  const [state, action, pending] = useActionState(signup, undefined)

  return (
    <form action={action}>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
        <input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.name && <p>{state.errors.name}</p>}

      <div>
        <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
        <input id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.email && <p>{state.errors.email}</p>}

      <div>
        <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
        <input id="password" name="password" type="password" />
      </div>
      {state?.errors?.password && (
        <div>
          <p>Password must:</p>
          <ul>
            {state.errors.password.map((error) => (
              <li key={error}>- {error}</li>
            ))}
          </ul>
        </div>
      )}
      <button disabled={pending} type="submit">
        Sign Up
      </button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> * In React 19, `useFormStatus` includes additional keys on the returned object, like data, method, and action. If you are not using React 19, only the `pending` key is available.
> * Before mutating data, you should always ensure a user is also authorized to perform the action. See [Authentication and Authorization](#authorization).

#### 3. Create a user or check user credentials

After validating form fields, you can create a new user account or check if the user exists by calling your authentication provider's API or database.

Continuing from the previous example:

```tsx filename="app/actions/auth.tsx" switcher
export async function signup(state: FormState, formData: FormData) {
  // 1. Validate form fields
  // ...

  // 2. Prepare data for insertion into database
  const { name, email, password } = validatedFields.data
  // e.g. Hash the user's password before storing it
  const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 10)

  // 3. Insert the user into the database or call an Auth Library's API
  const data = await db
    .insert(users)
    .values({
      name,
      email,
      password: hashedPassword,
    })
    .returning({ id: users.id })

  const user = data[0]

  if (!user) {
    return {
      message: 'An error occurred while creating your account.',
    }
  }

  // TODO:
  // 4. Create user session
  // 5. Redirect user
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions/auth.js" switcher
export async function signup(state, formData) {
  // 1. Validate form fields
  // ...

  // 2. Prepare data for insertion into database
  const { name, email, password } = validatedFields.data
  // e.g. Hash the user's password before storing it
  const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 10)

  // 3. Insert the user into the database or call an Library API
  const data = await db
    .insert(users)
    .values({
      name,
      email,
      password: hashedPassword,
    })
    .returning({ id: users.id })

  const user = data[0]

  if (!user) {
    return {
      message: 'An error occurred while creating your account.',
    }
  }

  // TODO:
  // 4. Create user session
  // 5. Redirect user
}
```

After successfully creating the user account or verifying the user credentials, you can create a session to manage the user's auth state. Depending on your session management strategy, the session can be stored in a cookie or database, or both. Continue to the [Session Management](#session-management) section to learn more.

> **Tips:**
>
> * The example above is verbose since it breaks down the authentication steps for the purpose of education. This highlights that implementing your own secure solution can quickly become complex. Consider using an [Auth Library](#auth-libraries) to simplify the process.
> * To improve the user experience, you may want to check for duplicate emails or usernames earlier in the registration flow. For example, as the user types in a username or the input field loses focus. This can help prevent unnecessary form submissions and provide immediate feedback to the user. You can debounce requests with libraries such as [use-debounce](https://www.npmjs.com/package/use-debounce) to manage the frequency of these checks.

## Session Management

Session management ensures that the user's authenticated state is preserved across requests. It involves creating, storing, refreshing, and deleting sessions or tokens.

There are two types of sessions:

1. [**Stateless**](#stateless-sessions): Session data (or a token) is stored in the browser's cookies. The cookie is sent with each request, allowing the session to be verified on the server. This method is simpler, but can be less secure if not implemented correctly.
2. [**Database**](#database-sessions): Session data is stored in a database, with the user's browser only receiving the encrypted session ID. This method is more secure, but can be complex and use more server resources.

> **Good to know:** While you can use either method, or both, we recommend using a session management library such as [iron-session](https://github.com/vvo/iron-session) or [Jose](https://github.com/panva/jose).

### Stateless Sessions

To create and manage stateless sessions, there are a few steps you need to follow:

1. Generate a secret key, which will be used to sign your session, and store it as an [environment variable](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md).
2. Write logic to encrypt/decrypt session data using a session management library.
3. Manage cookies using the Next.js [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) API.

In addition to the above, consider adding functionality to [update (or refresh)](#updating-or-refreshing-sessions) the session when the user returns to the application, and [delete](#deleting-the-session) the session when the user logs out.

> **Good to know:** Check if your [auth library](#auth-libraries) includes session management.

#### 1. Generating a secret key

There are a few ways you can generate secret key to sign your session. For example, you may choose to use the `openssl` command in your terminal:

```bash filename="terminal"
openssl rand -base64 32
```

This command generates a 32-character random string that you can use as your secret key and store in your [environment variables file](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md):

```bash filename=".env"
SESSION_SECRET=your_secret_key
```

You can then reference this key in your session management logic:

```js filename="app/lib/session.js"
const secretKey = process.env.SESSION_SECRET
```

#### 2. Encrypting and decrypting sessions

Next, you can use your preferred [session management library](#session-management-libraries) to encrypt and decrypt sessions. Continuing from the previous example, we'll use [Jose](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jose) (compatible with the [Edge Runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md)) and React's [`server-only`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/server-only) package to ensure that your session management logic is only executed on the server.

```tsx filename="app/lib/session.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { SignJWT, jwtVerify } from 'jose'
import { SessionPayload } from '@/app/lib/definitions'

const secretKey = process.env.SESSION_SECRET
const encodedKey = new TextEncoder().encode(secretKey)

export async function encrypt(payload: SessionPayload) {
  return new SignJWT(payload)
    .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'HS256' })
    .setIssuedAt()
    .setExpirationTime('7d')
    .sign(encodedKey)
}

export async function decrypt(session: string | undefined = '') {
  try {
    const { payload } = await jwtVerify(session, encodedKey, {
      algorithms: ['HS256'],
    })
    return payload
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('Failed to verify session')
  }
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/session.js" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { SignJWT, jwtVerify } from 'jose'

const secretKey = process.env.SESSION_SECRET
const encodedKey = new TextEncoder().encode(secretKey)

export async function encrypt(payload) {
  return new SignJWT(payload)
    .setProtectedHeader({ alg: 'HS256' })
    .setIssuedAt()
    .setExpirationTime('7d')
    .sign(encodedKey)
}

export async function decrypt(session) {
  try {
    const { payload } = await jwtVerify(session, encodedKey, {
      algorithms: ['HS256'],
    })
    return payload
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('Failed to verify session')
  }
}
```

> **Tips**:
>
> * The payload should contain the **minimum**, unique user data that'll be used in subsequent requests, such as the user's ID, role, etc. It should not contain personally identifiable information like phone number, email address, credit card information, etc, or sensitive data like passwords.

#### 3. Setting cookies (recommended options)

To store the session in a cookie, use the Next.js [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) API. The cookie should be set on the server, and include the recommended options:

* **HttpOnly**: Prevents client-side JavaScript from accessing the cookie.
* **Secure**: Use https to send the cookie.
* **SameSite**: Specify whether the cookie can be sent with cross-site requests.
* **Max-Age or Expires**: Delete the cookie after a certain period.
* **Path**: Define the URL path for the cookie.

Please refer to [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies) for more information on each of these options.

```ts filename="app/lib/session.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function createSession(userId: string) {
  const expiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
  const session = await encrypt({ userId, expiresAt })
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  cookieStore.set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expiresAt,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/session.js" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function createSession(userId) {
  const expiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
  const session = await encrypt({ userId, expiresAt })
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  cookieStore.set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expiresAt,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

Back in your Server Action, you can invoke the `createSession()` function, and use the [`redirect()`](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md) API to redirect the user to the appropriate page:

```ts filename="app/actions/auth.ts" switcher
import { createSession } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function signup(state: FormState, formData: FormData) {
  // Previous steps:
  // 1. Validate form fields
  // 2. Prepare data for insertion into database
  // 3. Insert the user into the database or call an Library API

  // Current steps:
  // 4. Create user session
  await createSession(user.id)
  // 5. Redirect user
  redirect('/profile')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions/auth.js" switcher
import { createSession } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function signup(state, formData) {
  // Previous steps:
  // 1. Validate form fields
  // 2. Prepare data for insertion into database
  // 3. Insert the user into the database or call an Library API

  // Current steps:
  // 4. Create user session
  await createSession(user.id)
  // 5. Redirect user
  redirect('/profile')
}
```

> **Tips**:

#### Updating (or refreshing) sessions

You can also extend the session's expiration time. This is useful for keeping the user logged in after they access the application again. For example:

```ts filename="app/lib/session.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function updateSession() {
  const session = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const payload = await decrypt(session)

  if (!session || !payload) {
    return null
  }

  const expires = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expires,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/session.js" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function updateSession() {
  const session = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const payload = await decrypt(session)

  if (!session || !payload) {
    return null
  }

  const expires = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)(
    await cookies()
  ).set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expires,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

> **Tip:** Check if your auth library supports refresh tokens, which can be used to extend the user's session.

#### Deleting the session

To delete the session, you can delete the cookie:

```ts filename="app/lib/session.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteSession() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.delete('session')
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/session.js" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteSession() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.delete('session')
}
```

Then you can reuse the `deleteSession()` function in your application, for example, on logout:

```ts filename="app/actions/auth.ts" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { deleteSession } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function logout() {
  await deleteSession()
  redirect('/login')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions/auth.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { deleteSession } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function logout() {
  await deleteSession()
  redirect('/login')
}
```

### Database Sessions

To create and manage database sessions, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Create a table in your database to store session and data (or check if your Auth Library handles this).
2. Implement functionality to insert, update, and delete sessions
3. Encrypt the session ID before storing it in the user's browser, and ensure the database and cookie stay in sync (this is optional, but recommended for optimistic auth checks in [Proxy](#optimistic-checks-with-proxy-optional)).

For example:

```ts filename="app/lib/session.ts" switcher
import cookies from 'next/headers'
import { db } from '@/app/lib/db'
import { encrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function createSession(id: number) {
  const expiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

  // 1. Create a session in the database
  const data = await db
    .insert(sessions)
    .values({
      userId: id,
      expiresAt,
    })
    // Return the session ID
    .returning({ id: sessions.id })

  const sessionId = data[0].id

  // 2. Encrypt the session ID
  const session = await encrypt({ sessionId, expiresAt })

  // 3. Store the session in cookies for optimistic auth checks
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expiresAt,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/session.js" switcher
import cookies from 'next/headers'
import { db } from '@/app/lib/db'
import { encrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export async function createSession(id) {
  const expiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

  // 1. Create a session in the database
  const data = await db
    .insert(sessions)
    .values({
      userId: id,
      expiresAt,
    })
    // Return the session ID
    .returning({ id: sessions.id })

  const sessionId = data[0].id

  // 2. Encrypt the session ID
  const session = await encrypt({ sessionId, expiresAt })

  // 3. Store the session in cookies for optimistic auth checks
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('session', session, {
    httpOnly: true,
    secure: true,
    expires: expiresAt,
    sameSite: 'lax',
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

> **Tips**:
>
> * For faster access, you may consider adding server caching for the lifetime of the session. You can also keep the session data in your primary database, and combine data requests to reduce the number of queries.
> * You may opt to use database sessions for more advanced use cases, such as keeping track of the last time a user logged in, or number of active devices, or give users the ability to log out of all devices.

After implementing session management, you'll need to add authorization logic to control what users can access and do within your application. Continue to the [Authorization](#authorization) section to learn more.

## Authorization

Once a user is authenticated and a session is created, you can implement authorization to control what the user can access and do within your application.

There are two main types of authorization checks:

1. **Optimistic**: Checks if the user is authorized to access a route or perform an action using the session data stored in the cookie. These checks are useful for quick operations, such as showing/hiding UI elements or redirecting users based on permissions or roles.
2. **Secure**: Checks if the user is authorized to access a route or perform an action using the session data stored in the database. These checks are more secure and are used for operations that require access to sensitive data or actions.

For both cases, we recommend:

* Creating a [Data Access Layer](#creating-a-data-access-layer-dal) to centralize your authorization logic
* Using [Data Transfer Objects (DTO)](#using-data-transfer-objects-dto) to only return the necessary data
* Optionally use [Proxy](#optimistic-checks-with-proxy-optional) to perform optimistic checks.

### Optimistic checks with Proxy (Optional)

There are some cases where you may want to use [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) and redirect users based on permissions:

* To perform optimistic checks. Since Proxy runs on every route, it's a good way to centralize redirect logic and pre-filter unauthorized users.
* To protect static routes that share data between users (e.g. content behind a paywall).

However, since Proxy runs on every route, including [prefetched](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) routes, it's important to only read the session from the cookie (optimistic checks), and avoid database checks to prevent performance issues.

For example:

```tsx filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

// 1. Specify protected and public routes
const protectedRoutes = ['/dashboard']
const publicRoutes = ['/login', '/signup', '/']

export default async function proxy(req: NextRequest) {
  // 2. Check if the current route is protected or public
  const path = req.nextUrl.pathname
  const isProtectedRoute = protectedRoutes.includes(path)
  const isPublicRoute = publicRoutes.includes(path)

  // 3. Decrypt the session from the cookie
  const cookie = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const session = await decrypt(cookie)

  // 4. Redirect to /login if the user is not authenticated
  if (isProtectedRoute && !session?.userId) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', req.nextUrl))
  }

  // 5. Redirect to /dashboard if the user is authenticated
  if (
    isPublicRoute &&
    session?.userId &&
    !req.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')
  ) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/dashboard', req.nextUrl))
  }

  return NextResponse.next()
}

// Routes Proxy should not run on
export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!api|_next/static|_next/image|.*\\.png$).*)'],
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

// 1. Specify protected and public routes
const protectedRoutes = ['/dashboard']
const publicRoutes = ['/login', '/signup', '/']

export default async function proxy(req) {
  // 2. Check if the current route is protected or public
  const path = req.nextUrl.pathname
  const isProtectedRoute = protectedRoutes.includes(path)
  const isPublicRoute = publicRoutes.includes(path)

  // 3. Decrypt the session from the cookie
  const cookie = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const session = await decrypt(cookie)

  // 5. Redirect to /login if the user is not authenticated
  if (isProtectedRoute && !session?.userId) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', req.nextUrl))
  }

  // 6. Redirect to /dashboard if the user is authenticated
  if (
    isPublicRoute &&
    session?.userId &&
    !req.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')
  ) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/dashboard', req.nextUrl))
  }

  return NextResponse.next()
}

// Routes Proxy should not run on
export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!api|_next/static|_next/image|.*\\.png$).*)'],
}
```

While Proxy can be useful for initial checks, it should not be your only line of defense in protecting your data. The majority of security checks should be performed as close as possible to your data source, see [Data Access Layer](#creating-a-data-access-layer-dal) for more information.

> **Tips**:
>
> * In Proxy, you can also read cookies using `req.cookies.get('session').value`.
> * Proxy uses the Node.js runtime, check if your Auth library and session management library are compatible. You may need to use [Middleware](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/v15.5.6/docs/01-app/03-api-reference/03-file-conventions/middleware.mdx) if your Auth library only supports [Edge Runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md)
> * You can use the `matcher` property in the Proxy to specify which routes Proxy should run on. Although, for auth, it's recommended Proxy runs on all routes.

### Creating a Data Access Layer (DAL)

We recommend creating a DAL to centralize your data requests and authorization logic.

The DAL should include a function that verifies the user's session as they interact with your application. At the very least, the function should check if the session is valid, then redirect or return the user information needed to make further requests.

For example, create a separate file for your DAL that includes a `verifySession()` function. Then use React's [cache](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache) API to memoize the return value of the function during a React render pass:

```tsx filename="app/lib/dal.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export const verifySession = cache(async () => {
  const cookie = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const session = await decrypt(cookie)

  if (!session?.userId) {
    redirect('/login')
  }

  return { isAuth: true, userId: session.userId }
})
```

```js filename="app/lib/dal.js" switcher
import 'server-only'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { decrypt } from '@/app/lib/session'

export const verifySession = cache(async () => {
  const cookie = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value
  const session = await decrypt(cookie)

  if (!session.userId) {
    redirect('/login')
  }

  return { isAuth: true, userId: session.userId }
})
```

You can then invoke the `verifySession()` function in your data requests, Server Actions, Route Handlers:

```tsx filename="app/lib/dal.ts" switcher
export const getUser = cache(async () => {
  const session = await verifySession()
  if (!session) return null

  try {
    const data = await db.query.users.findMany({
      where: eq(users.id, session.userId),
      // Explicitly return the columns you need rather than the whole user object
      columns: {
        id: true,
        name: true,
        email: true,
      },
    })

    const user = data[0]

    return user
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('Failed to fetch user')
    return null
  }
})
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/dal.js" switcher
export const getUser = cache(async () => {
  const session = await verifySession()
  if (!session) return null

  try {
    const data = await db.query.users.findMany({
      where: eq(users.id, session.userId),
      // Explicitly return the columns you need rather than the whole user object
      columns: {
        id: true,
        name: true,
        email: true,
      },
    })

    const user = data[0]

    return user
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('Failed to fetch user')
    return null
  }
})
```

> **Tip**:
>
> * A DAL can be used to protect data fetched at request time. However, for static routes that share data between users, data will be fetched at build time and not at request time. Use [Proxy](#optimistic-checks-with-proxy-optional) to protect static routes.
> * For secure checks, you can check if the session is valid by comparing the session ID with your database. Use React's [cache](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache) function to avoid unnecessary duplicate requests to the database during a render pass.
> * You may wish to consolidate related data requests in a JavaScript class that runs `verifySession()` before any methods.

### Using Data Transfer Objects (DTO)

When retrieving data, it's recommended you return only the necessary data that will be used in your application, and not entire objects. For example, if you're fetching user data, you might only return the user's ID and name, rather than the entire user object which could contain passwords, phone numbers, etc.

However, if you have no control over the returned data structure, or are working in a team where you want to avoid whole objects being passed to the client, you can use strategies such as specifying what fields are safe to be exposed to the client.

```tsx filename="app/lib/dto.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { getUser } from '@/app/lib/dal'

function canSeeUsername(viewer: User) {
  return true
}

function canSeePhoneNumber(viewer: User, team: string) {
  return viewer.isAdmin || team === viewer.team
}

export async function getProfileDTO(slug: string) {
  const data = await db.query.users.findMany({
    where: eq(users.slug, slug),
    // Return specific columns here
  })
  const user = data[0]

  const currentUser = await getUser(user.id)

  // Or return only what's specific to the query here
  return {
    username: canSeeUsername(currentUser) ? user.username : null,
    phonenumber: canSeePhoneNumber(currentUser, user.team)
      ? user.phonenumber
      : null,
  }
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/dto.js" switcher
import 'server-only'
import { getUser } from '@/app/lib/dal'

function canSeeUsername(viewer) {
  return true
}

function canSeePhoneNumber(viewer, team) {
  return viewer.isAdmin || team === viewer.team
}

export async function getProfileDTO(slug) {
  const data = await db.query.users.findMany({
    where: eq(users.slug, slug),
    // Return specific columns here
  })
  const user = data[0]

  const currentUser = await getUser(user.id)

  // Or return only what's specific to the query here
  return {
    username: canSeeUsername(currentUser) ? user.username : null,
    phonenumber: canSeePhoneNumber(currentUser, user.team)
      ? user.phonenumber
      : null,
  }
}
```

By centralizing your data requests and authorization logic in a DAL and using DTOs, you can ensure that all data requests are secure and consistent, making it easier to maintain, audit, and debug as your application scales.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * There are a couple of different ways you can define a DTO, from using `toJSON()`, to individual functions like the example above, or JS classes. Since these are JavaScript patterns and not a React or Next.js feature, we recommend doing some research to find the best pattern for your application.
> * Learn more about security best practices in our [Security in Next.js article](/blog/security-nextjs-server-components-actions).

### Server Components

Auth check in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) are useful for role-based access. For example, to conditionally render components based on the user's role:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function Dashboard() {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session?.user?.role // Assuming 'role' is part of the session object

  if (userRole === 'admin') {
    return <AdminDashboard />
  } else if (userRole === 'user') {
    return <UserDashboard />
  } else {
    redirect('/login')
  }
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.jsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function Dashboard() {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session?.user?.role // Assuming 'role' is part of the session object

  if (userRole === 'admin') {
    return <AdminDashboard />
  } else if (userRole === 'user') {
    return <UserDashboard />
  } else {
    redirect('/login')
  }
}
```

In the example, we use the `verifySession()` function from our DAL to check for 'admin', 'user', and unauthorized roles. This pattern ensures that each user interacts only with components appropriate to their role.

### Layouts and auth checks

Due to [Partial Rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions), be cautious when doing checks in [Layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) as these don't re-render on navigation, meaning the user session won't be checked on every route change.

Instead, you should do the checks close to your data source or the component that'll be conditionally rendered.

For example, consider a shared layout that fetches the user data and displays the user image in a nav. Instead of doing the auth check in the layout, you should fetch the user data (`getUser()`) in the layout and do the auth check in your DAL.

This guarantees that wherever `getUser()` is called within your application, the auth check is performed, and prevents developers forgetting to check the user is authorized to access the data.

#### Auth checks in page components

For example, in a dashboard page, you can verify the user session and fetch the user data:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await verifySession()

  // Fetch user-specific data from your database or data source
  const user = await getUserData(session.userId)

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome, {user.name}</h1>
      {/* Dashboard content */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.jsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await verifySession()

  // Fetch user-specific data from your database or data source
  const user = await getUserData(session.userId)

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome, {user.name}</h1>
      {/* Dashboard content */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

#### Auth checks in leaf components

You can also perform auth checks in leaf components that conditionally render UI elements based on user permissions. For example, a component that displays admin-only actions:

```tsx filename="app/ui/admin-actions.tsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function AdminActions() {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session?.user?.role

  if (userRole !== 'admin') {
    return null
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button>Delete User</button>
      <button>Edit Settings</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/admin-actions.jsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export default async function AdminActions() {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session?.user?.role

  if (userRole !== 'admin') {
    return null
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button>Delete User</button>
      <button>Edit Settings</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

This pattern allows you to show or hide UI elements based on user permissions while ensuring the auth check happens at render time in each component.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * A common pattern in SPAs is to `return null` in a layout or a top-level component if a user is not authorized. This pattern is **not recommended** since Next.js applications have multiple entry points, which will not prevent nested route segments and Server Actions from being accessed.
> * Ensure that any Server Actions called from these components also perform their own authorization checks, as client-side UI restrictions alone are not sufficient for security.

### Server Actions

Treat [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) with the same security considerations as public-facing API endpoints, and verify if the user is allowed to perform a mutation.

In the example below, we check the user's role before allowing the action to proceed:

```ts filename="app/lib/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export async function serverAction(formData: FormData) {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session?.user?.role

  // Return early if user is not authorized to perform the action
  if (userRole !== 'admin') {
    return null
  }

  // Proceed with the action for authorized users
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/actions.js" switcher
'use server'
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export async function serverAction() {
  const session = await verifySession()
  const userRole = session.user.role

  // Return early if user is not authorized to perform the action
  if (userRole !== 'admin') {
    return null
  }

  // Proceed with the action for authorized users
}
```

### Route Handlers

Treat [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) with the same security considerations as public-facing API endpoints, and verify if the user is allowed to access the Route Handler.

For example:

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export async function GET() {
  // User authentication and role verification
  const session = await verifySession()

  // Check if the user is authenticated
  if (!session) {
    // User is not authenticated
    return new Response(null, { status: 401 })
  }

  // Check if the user has the 'admin' role
  if (session.user.role !== 'admin') {
    // User is authenticated but does not have the right permissions
    return new Response(null, { status: 403 })
  }

  // Continue for authorized users
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'

export async function GET() {
  // User authentication and role verification
  const session = await verifySession()

  // Check if the user is authenticated
  if (!session) {
    // User is not authenticated
    return new Response(null, { status: 401 })
  }

  // Check if the user has the 'admin' role
  if (session.user.role !== 'admin') {
    // User is authenticated but does not have the right permissions
    return new Response(null, { status: 403 })
  }

  // Continue for authorized users
}
```

The example above demonstrates a Route Handler with a two-tier security check. It first checks for an active session, and then verifies if the logged-in user is an 'admin'.

## Context Providers

Using context providers for auth works due to [interleaving](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#examples#interleaving-server-and-client-components). However, React `context` is not supported in Server Components, making them only applicable to Client Components.

This works, but any child Server Components will be rendered on the server first, and will not have access to the context provider’s session data:

```tsx filename="app/layout.ts" switcher
import { ContextProvider } from 'auth-lib'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <ContextProvider>{children}</ContextProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/profile.ts switcher
'use client';

import { useSession } from "auth-lib";

export default function Profile() {
  const { userId } = useSession();
  const { data } = useSWR(`/api/user/${userId}`, fetcher)

  return (
    // ...
  );
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/profile.js switcher
'use client';

import { useSession } from "auth-lib";

export default function Profile() {
  const { userId } = useSession();
  const { data } = useSWR(`/api/user/${userId}`, fetcher)

  return (
    // ...
  );
}
```

If session data is needed in Client Components (e.g. for client-side data fetching), use React’s [`taintUniqueValue`](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintUniqueValue) API to prevent sensitive session data from being exposed to the client.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization.md

# Automatic Static Optimization


Next.js automatically determines that a page is static (can be prerendered) if it has no blocking data requirements. This determination is made by the absence of `getServerSideProps` and `getInitialProps` in the page.

This feature allows Next.js to emit hybrid applications that contain **both server-rendered and statically generated pages**.

> **Good to know**: Statically generated pages are still reactive. Next.js will hydrate your application client-side to give it full interactivity.

One of the main benefits of this feature is that optimized pages require no server-side computation, and can be instantly streamed to the end-user from multiple CDN locations. The result is an *ultra fast* loading experience for your users.

## How it works

If `getServerSideProps` or `getInitialProps` is present in a page, Next.js will switch to render the page on-demand, per-request (meaning [Server-Side Rendering](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/server-side-rendering.md)).

If the above is not the case, Next.js will **statically optimize** your page automatically by prerendering the page to static HTML.

During prerendering, the router's `query` object will be empty since we do not have `query` information to provide during this phase. After hydration, Next.js will trigger an update to your application to provide the route parameters in the `query` object.

The cases where the query will be updated after hydration triggering another render are:

* The page is a [dynamic-route](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md).
* The page has query values in the URL.
* [Rewrites](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) are configured in your `next.config.js` since these can have parameters that may need to be parsed and provided in the `query`.

To be able to distinguish if the query is fully updated and ready for use, you can leverage the `isReady` field on [`next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#router-object).

> **Good to know**: Parameters added with [dynamic routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md) to a page that's using [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) will always be available inside the `query` object.

`next build` will emit `.html` files for statically optimized pages. For example, the result for the page `pages/about.js` would be:

```bash filename="Terminal"
.next/server/pages/about.html
```

And if you add `getServerSideProps` to the page, it will then be JavaScript, like so:

```bash filename="Terminal"
.next/server/pages/about.js
```

## Caveats

* If you have a [custom `App`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md) with `getInitialProps` then this optimization will be turned off in pages without [Static Generation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md).
* If you have a [custom `Document`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-document.md) with `getInitialProps` be sure you check if `ctx.req` is defined before assuming the page is server-side rendered. `ctx.req` will be `undefined` for pages that are prerendered.
* Avoid using the `asPath` value on [`next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#router-object) in the rendering tree until the router's `isReady` field is `true`. Statically optimized pages only know `asPath` on the client and not the server, so using it as a prop may lead to mismatch errors. The [`active-class-name` example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/active-class-name) demonstrates one way to use `asPath` as a prop.

# How to configure Babel in Next.js


<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [Customizing babel configuration](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-custom-babel-config)

</details>

Next.js includes the `next/babel` preset to your app, which includes everything needed to compile React applications and server-side code. But if you want to extend the default Babel configs, it's also possible.

## Adding Presets and Plugins

To start, you only need to define a `.babelrc` file (or `babel.config.js`) in the root directory of your project. If such a file is found, it will be considered as the *source of truth*, and therefore it needs to define what Next.js needs as well, which is the `next/babel` preset.

Here's an example `.babelrc` file:

```json filename=".babelrc"
{
  "presets": ["next/babel"],
  "plugins": []
}
```

You can [take a look at this file](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/build/babel/preset.ts) to learn about the presets included by `next/babel`.

To add presets/plugins **without configuring them**, you can do it this way:

```json filename=".babelrc"
{
  "presets": ["next/babel"],
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-do-expressions"]
}
```

## Customizing Presets and Plugins

To add presets/plugins **with custom configuration**, do it on the `next/babel` preset like so:

```json filename=".babelrc"
{
  "presets": [
    [
      "next/babel",
      {
        "preset-env": {},
        "transform-runtime": {},
        "styled-jsx": {},
        "class-properties": {}
      }
    ]
  ],
  "plugins": []
}
```

To learn more about the available options for each config, visit babel's [documentation](https://babeljs.io/docs/) site.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Next.js uses the [**current** Node.js version](https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule) for server-side compilations.
> * The `modules` option on `"preset-env"` should be kept to `false`, otherwise webpack code splitting is turned off.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/backend-for-frontend.md

# How to use Next.js as a backend for your frontend
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js supports the "Backend for Frontend" pattern. This lets you create public endpoints to handle HTTP requests and return any content type—not just HTML. You can also access data sources and perform side effects like updating remote data.

If you are starting a new project, using `create-next-app` with the `--api` flag automatically includes an example `route.ts` in your new project’s `app/` folder, demonstrating how to create an API endpoint.

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --api
```

> **Good to know**: Next.js backend capabilities are not a full backend replacement. They serve as an API layer that:
>
> * is publicly reachable
> * handles any HTTP request
> * can return any content type

To implement this pattern, use:

* [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md)

## Public Endpoints

Route Handlers are public HTTP endpoints. Any client can access them.

Create a Route Handler using the `route.ts` or `route.js` file convention:

```ts filename="/app/api/route.ts" switcher
export function GET(request: Request) {}
```

```js filename="/app/api/route.js" switcher
export function GET(request) {}
```

This handles `GET` requests sent to `/api`.

Use `try/catch` blocks for operations that may throw an exception:

```ts filename="/app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { submit } from '@/lib/submit'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  try {
    await submit(request)
    return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected error'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

```js filename="/app/api/route.js" switcher
import { submit } from '@/lib/submit'

export async function POST(request) {
  try {
    await submit(request)
    return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected error'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

Avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages sent to the client.

To restrict access, implement authentication and authorization. See [Authentication](/docs/app/guides/authentication.md).

## Content types

Route Handlers let you serve non-UI responses, including JSON, XML, images, files, and plain text.

Next.js uses file conventions for common endpoints:

* [`sitemap.xml`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md)
* [`opengraph-image.jpg`, `twitter-image`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md)
* [favicon, app icon, and apple-icon](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md)
* [`manifest.json`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/manifest.md)
* [`robots.txt`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/robots.md)

You can also define custom ones, such as:

* `llms.txt`
* `rss.xml`
* `.well-known`

For example, `app/rss.xml/route.ts` creates a Route Handler for `rss.xml`.

```ts filename="/app/rss.xml/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const rssResponse = await fetch(/* rss endpoint */)
  const rssData = await rssResponse.json()

  const rssFeed = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
 <title>${rssData.title}</title>
 <description>${rssData.description}</description>
 <link>${rssData.link}</link>
 <copyright>${rssData.copyright}</copyright>
 ${rssData.items.map((item) => {
   return `<item>
    <title>${item.title}</title>
    <description>${item.description}</description>
    <link>${item.link}</link>
    <pubDate>${item.publishDate}</pubDate>
    <guid isPermaLink="false">${item.guid}</guid>
 </item>`
 })}
</channel>
</rss>`

  const headers = new Headers({ 'content-type': 'application/xml' })

  return new Response(rssFeed, { headers })
}
```

```js filename="/app/rss.xml/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {
  const rssResponse = await fetch(/* rss endpoint */)
  const rssData = await rssResponse.json()

  const rssFeed = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
 <title>${rssData.title}</title>
 <description>${rssData.description}</description>
 <link>${rssData.link}</link>
 <copyright>${rssData.copyright}</copyright>
 ${rssData.items.map((item) => {
   return `<item>
    <title>${item.title}</title>
    <description>${item.description}</description>
    <link>${item.link}</link>
    <pubDate>${item.publishDate}</pubDate>
    <guid isPermaLink="false">${item.guid}</guid>
 </item>`
 })}
</channel>
</rss>`

  const headers = new Headers({ 'content-type': 'application/xml' })

  return new Response(rssFeed, { headers })
}
```

Sanitize any input used to generate markup.

### Consuming request payloads

Use Request [instance methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request#instance_methods) like `.json()`, `.formData()`, or `.text()` to access the request body.

`GET` and `HEAD` requests don’t carry a body.

```ts filename="/app/api/echo-body/route.ts" switcher
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const res = await request.json()
  return Response.json({ res })
}
```

```js filename="/app/api/echo-body/route.js" switcher
export async function POST(request) {
  const res = await request.json()
  return Response.json({ res })
}
```

> **Good to know**: Validate data before passing it to other systems

```ts filename="/app/api/send-email/route.ts" switcher
import { sendMail, validateInputs } from '@/lib/email-transporter'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const formData = await request.formData()
  const email = formData.get('email')
  const contents = formData.get('contents')

  try {
    await validateInputs({ email, contents })
    const info = await sendMail({ email, contents })

    return Response.json({ messageId: info.messageId })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

```js filename="/app/api/send-email/route.js" switcher
import { sendMail, validateInputs } from '@/lib/email-transporter'

export async function POST(request) {
  const formData = await request.formData()
  const email = formData.get('email')
  const contents = formData.get('contents')

  try {
    await validateInputs({ email, contents })
    const info = await sendMail({ email, contents })

    return Response.json({ messageId: info.messageId })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

You can only read the request body once. Clone the request if you need to read it again:

```ts filename="/app/api/clone/route.ts" switcher
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  try {
    const clonedRequest = request.clone()

    await request.body()
    await clonedRequest.body()
    await request.body() // Throws error

    return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
  } catch {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

```js filename="/app/api/clone/route.js" switcher
export async function POST(request) {
  try {
    const clonedRequest = request.clone()

    await request.body()
    await clonedRequest.body()
    await request.body() // Throws error

    return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
  } catch {
    return new Response(null, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

## Manipulating data

Route Handlers can transform, filter, and aggregate data from one or more sources. This keeps logic out of the frontend and avoids exposing internal systems.

You can also offload heavy computations to the server and reduce client battery and data usage.

```ts file="/app/api/weather/route.ts" switcher
import { parseWeatherData } from '@/lib/weather'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const body = await request.json()
  const searchParams = new URLSearchParams({ lat: body.lat, lng: body.lng })

  try {
    const weatherResponse = await fetch(`${weatherEndpoint}?${searchParams}`)

    if (!weatherResponse.ok) {
      /* handle error */
    }

    const weatherData = await weatherResponse.text()
    const payload = parseWeatherData.asJSON(weatherData)

    return new Response(payload, { status: 200 })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

```js file="/app/api/weather/route.js" switcher
import { parseWeatherData } from '@/lib/weather'

export async function POST(request) {
  const body = await request.json()
  const searchParams = new URLSearchParams({ lat: body.lat, lng: body.lng })

  try {
    const weatherResponse = await fetch(`${weatherEndpoint}?${searchParams}`)

    if (!weatherResponse.ok) {
      /* handle error */
    }

    const weatherData = await weatherResponse.text()
    const payload = parseWeatherData.asJSON(weatherData)

    return new Response(payload, { status: 200 })
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

> **Good to know**: This example uses `POST` to avoid putting geo-location data in the URL. `GET` requests may be cached or logged, which could expose sensitive info.

## Proxying to a backend

You can use a Route Handler as a `proxy` to another backend. Add validation logic before forwarding the request.

```ts filename="/app/api/[...slug]/route.ts" switcher
import { isValidRequest } from '@/lib/utils'

export async function POST(request: Request, { params }) {
  const clonedRequest = request.clone()
  const isValid = await isValidRequest(clonedRequest)

  if (!isValid) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 400, statusText: 'Bad Request' })
  }

  const { slug } = await params
  const pathname = slug.join('/')
  const proxyURL = new URL(pathname, 'https://nextjs.org')
  const proxyRequest = new Request(proxyURL, request)

  try {
    return fetch(proxyRequest)
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

```js filename="/app/api/[...slug]/route.js" switcher
import { isValidRequest } from '@/lib/utils'

export async function POST(request, { params }) {
  const clonedRequest = request.clone()
  const isValid = await isValidRequest(clonedRequest)

  if (!isValid) {
    return new Response(null, { status: 400, statusText: 'Bad Request' })
  }

  const { slug } = await params
  const pathname = slug.join('/')
  const proxyURL = new URL(pathname, 'https://nextjs.org')
  const proxyRequest = new Request(proxyURL, request)

  try {
    return fetch(proxyRequest)
  } catch (reason) {
    const message =
      reason instanceof Error ? reason.message : 'Unexpected exception'

    return new Response(message, { status: 500 })
  }
}
```

Or use:

* `proxy` [rewrites](#proxy)
* [`rewrites`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) in `next.config.js`.

## NextRequest and NextResponse

Next.js extends the [`Request`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request) and [`Response`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response) Web APIs with methods that simplify common operations. These extensions are available in both Route Handlers and Proxy.

Both provide methods for reading and manipulating cookies.

`NextRequest` includes the [`nextUrl`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md#nexturl) property, which exposes parsed values from the incoming request, for example, it makes it easier to access request pathname and search params.

`NextResponse` provides helpers like `next()`, `json()`, `redirect()`, and `rewrite()`.

You can pass `NextRequest` to any function expecting `Request`. Likewise, you can return `NextResponse` where a `Response` is expected.

```ts filename="/app/echo-pathname/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const nextUrl = request.nextUrl

  if (nextUrl.searchParams.get('redirect')) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/', request.url))
  }

  if (nextUrl.searchParams.get('rewrite')) {
    return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/', request.url))
  }

  return NextResponse.json({ pathname: nextUrl.pathname })
}
```

```js filename="/app/echo-pathname/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request) {
  const nextUrl = request.nextUrl

  if (nextUrl.searchParams.get('redirect')) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/', request.url))
  }

  if (nextUrl.searchParams.get('rewrite')) {
    return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/', request.url))
  }

  return NextResponse.json({ pathname: nextUrl.pathname })
}
```

Learn more about [`NextRequest`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md) and [`NextResponse`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-response.md).

## Webhooks and callback URLs

Use Route Handlers to receive event notifications from third-party applications.

For example, revalidate a route when content changes in a CMS. Configure the CMS to call a specific endpoint on changes.

```ts filename="/app/webhook/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const token = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('token')

  if (token !== process.env.REVALIDATE_SECRET_TOKEN) {
    return NextResponse.json({ success: false }, { status: 401 })
  }

  const tag = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('tag')

  if (!tag) {
    return NextResponse.json({ success: false }, { status: 400 })
  }

  revalidateTag(tag)

  return NextResponse.json({ success: true })
}
```

```js filename="/app/webhook/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request) {
  const token = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('token')

  if (token !== process.env.REVALIDATE_SECRET_TOKEN) {
    return NextResponse.json({ success: false }, { status: 401 })
  }

  const tag = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('tag')

  if (!tag) {
    return NextResponse.json({ success: false }, { status: 400 })
  }

  revalidateTag(tag)

  return NextResponse.json({ success: true })
}
```

Callback URLs are another use case. When a user completes a third-party flow, the third party sends them to a callback URL. Use a Route Handler to verify the response and decide where to redirect the user.

```ts filename="/app/auth/callback/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const token = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('session_token')
  const redirectUrl = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('redirect_url')

  const response = NextResponse.redirect(new URL(redirectUrl, request.url))

  response.cookies.set({
    value: token,
    name: '_token',
    path: '/',
    secure: true,
    httpOnly: true,
    expires: undefined, // session cookie
  })

  return response
}
```

```js filename="/app/auth/callback/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request) {
  const token = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('session_token')
  const redirectUrl = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('redirect_url')

  const response = NextResponse.redirect(new URL(redirectUrl, request.url))

  response.cookies.set({
    value: token,
    name: '_token',
    path: '/',
    secure: true,
    httpOnly: true,
    expires: undefined, // session cookie
  })

  return response
}
```

## Redirects

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  redirect('https://nextjs.org/')
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request) {
  redirect('https://nextjs.org/')
}
```

Learn more about redirects in [`redirect`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) and [`permanentRedirect`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/permanentRedirect.md)

## Proxy

Only one `proxy` file is allowed per project. Use `config.matcher` to target specific paths. Learn more about [`proxy`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md).

Use `proxy` to generate a response before the request reaches a route path.

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { isAuthenticated } from '@lib/auth'

export const config = {
  matcher: '/api/:function*',
}

export function proxy(request: Request) {
  if (!isAuthenticated(request)) {
    return Response.json(
      { success: false, message: 'authentication failed' },
      { status: 401 }
    )
  }
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { isAuthenticated } from '@lib/auth'

export const config = {
  matcher: '/api/:function*',
}

export function proxy(request) {
  if (!isAuthenticated(request)) {
    return Response.json(
      { success: false, message: 'authentication failed' },
      { status: 401 }
    )
  }
}
```

You can also proxy requests using `proxy`:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request: Request) {
  if (request.nextUrl.pathname === '/proxy-this-path') {
    const rewriteUrl = new URL('https://nextjs.org')
    return NextResponse.rewrite(rewriteUrl)
  }
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request) {
  if (request.nextUrl.pathname === '/proxy-this-path') {
    const rewriteUrl = new URL('https://nextjs.org')
    return NextResponse.rewrite(rewriteUrl)
  }
}
```

Another type of response `proxy` can produce are redirects:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request: Request) {
  if (request.nextUrl.pathname === '/v1/docs') {
    request.nextUrl.pathname = '/v2/docs'
    return NextResponse.redirect(request.nextUrl)
  }
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request) {
  if (request.nextUrl.pathname === '/v1/docs') {
    request.nextUrl.pathname = '/v2/docs'
    return NextResponse.redirect(request.nextUrl)
  }
}
```

## Security

### Working with headers

Be deliberate about where headers go, and avoid directly passing incoming request headers to the outgoing response.

* **Upstream request headers**: In Proxy, `NextResponse.next({ request: { headers } })` modifies the headers your server receives and does not expose them to the client.
* **Response headers**: `new Response(..., { headers })`, `NextResponse.json(..., { headers })`, `NextResponse.next({ headers })`, or `response.headers.set(...)` send headers back to the client. If sensitive values were appended to these headers, they will be visible to clients.

Learn more in [NextResponse headers in Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-response.md#next).

### Rate limiting

You can implement rate limiting in your Next.js backend. In addition to code-based checks, enable any rate limiting features provided by your host.

```ts filename="/app/resource/route.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { checkRateLimit } from '@/lib/rate-limit'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const { rateLimited } = await checkRateLimit(request)

  if (rateLimited) {
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Rate limit exceeded' }, { status: 429 })
  }

  return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
}
```

```js filename="/app/resource/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { checkRateLimit } from '@/lib/rate-limit'

export async function POST(request) {
  const { rateLimited } = await checkRateLimit(request)

  if (rateLimited) {
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Rate limit exceeded' }, { status: 429 })
  }

  return new Response(null, { status: 204 })
}
```

### Verify payloads

Never trust incoming request data. Validate content type and size, and sanitize against XSS before use.

Use timeouts to prevent abuse and protect server resources.

Store user-generated static assets in dedicated services. When possible, upload them from the browser and store the returned URI in your database to reduce request size.

### Access to protected resources

Always verify credentials before granting access. Do not rely on proxy alone for authentication and authorization.

Remove sensitive or unnecessary data from responses and backend logs.

Rotate credentials and API keys regularly.

## Preflight Requests

Preflight requests use the `OPTIONS` method to ask the server if a request is allowed based on origin, method, and headers.

If `OPTIONS` is not defined, Next.js adds it automatically and sets the `Allow` header based on the other defined methods.

* [CORS](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#cors)

## Library patterns

Community libraries often use the factory pattern for Route Handlers.

```ts filename="/app/api/[...path]/route.ts"
import { createHandler } from 'third-party-library'

const handler = createHandler({
  /* library-specific options */
})

export const GET = handler
// or
export { handler as POST }
```

This creates a shared handler for `GET` and `POST` requests. The library customizes behavior based on the `method` and `pathname` in the request.

Libraries can also provide a `proxy` factory.

```ts filename="proxy.ts"
import { createMiddleware } from 'third-party-library'

export default createMiddleware()
```

> **Good to know**: Third-party libraries may still refer to `proxy` as `middleware`.

## More examples

See more examples on using [Router Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#examples) and the [`proxy`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#examples) API references.

These examples include, working with [Cookies](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#cookies), [Headers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#headers), [Streaming](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#streaming), Proxy [negative matching](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#negative-matching), and other useful code snippets.

## Caveats

### Server Components

Fetch data in Server Components directly from its source, not via Route Handlers.

For Server Components pre-rendered at build time, using Route Handlers will fail the build step. This is because, while building there is no server listening for these requests.

For Server Components rendered on demand, fetching from Route Handlers is slower due to the extra HTTP round trip between the handler and the render process.

> A server side `fetch` request uses absolute URLs. This implies an HTTP round trip, to an external server. During development, your own development server acts as the external server. At build time there is no server, and at runtime, the server is available through your public facing domain.

Server Components cover most data-fetching needs. However, fetching data client side might be necessary for:

* Data that depends on client-only Web APIs:
  * Geo-location API
  * Storage API
  * Audio API
  * File API
* Frequently polled data

For these, use community libraries like [`swr`](https://swr.vercel.app/) or [`react-query`](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/overview).

### Server Actions

Server Actions let you run server-side code from the client. Their primary purpose is to mutate data from your frontend client.

Server Actions are queued. Using them for data fetching introduces sequential execution.

### `export` mode

`export` mode outputs a static site without a runtime server. Features that require the Next.js runtime are [not supported](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md#unsupported-features), because this mode produces a static site, and no runtime server.

In `export mode`, only `GET` Route Handlers are supported, in combination with the [`dynamic`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic) route segment config, set to `'force-static'`.

This can be used to generate static HTML, JSON, TXT, or other files.

```js filename="app/hello-world/route.ts"
export const dynamic = 'force-static'

export function GET() {
  return new Response('Hello World', { status: 200 })
}
```

### Deployment environment

Some hosts deploy Route Handlers as lambda functions. This means:

* Route Handlers cannot share data between requests.
* The environment may not support writing to File System.
* Long-running handlers may be terminated due to timeouts.
* WebSockets won’t work because the connection closes on timeout, or after the response is generated.

# basePath
@doc-version: 16.0.4


To deploy a Next.js application under a sub-path of a domain you can use the `basePath` config option.

`basePath` allows you to set a path prefix for the application. For example, to use `/docs` instead of `''` (an empty string, the default), open `next.config.js` and add the `basePath` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  basePath: '/docs',
}
```

> **Good to know**: This value must be set at build time and cannot be changed without re-building as the value is inlined in the client-side bundles.

### Links

When linking to other pages using `next/link` and `next/router` the `basePath` will be automatically applied.

For example, using `/about` will automatically become `/docs/about` when `basePath` is set to `/docs`.

```js
export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <>
      <Link href="/about">About Page</Link>
    </>
  )
}
```

Output html:

```html
<a href="/docs/about">About Page</a>
```

This makes sure that you don't have to change all links in your application when changing the `basePath` value.

### Images

When using the [`next/image`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) component, you will need to add the `basePath` in front of `src`.

For example, using `/docs/me.png` will properly serve your image when `basePath` is set to `/docs`.

```jsx
import Image from 'next/image'

function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>My Homepage</h1>
      <Image
        src="/docs/me.png"
        alt="Picture of the author"
        width={500}
        height={500}
      />
      <p>Welcome to my homepage!</p>
    </>
  )
}

export default Home
```

# browserDebugInfoInTerminal
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The `experimental.browserDebugInfoInTerminal` option forwards console output and runtime errors originating in the browser to the dev server terminal.

This option is disabled by default. When enabled it only works in development mode.

## Usage

Enable forwarding:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### Serialization limits

Deeply nested objects/arrays are truncated using **sensible defaults**. You can tweak these limits:

* **depthLimit**: (optional) Limit stringification depth for nested objects/arrays. Default: 5
* **edgeLimit**: (optional) Max number of properties or elements to include per object or array. Default: 100

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: {
      depthLimit: 5,
      edgeLimit: 100,
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: {
      depthLimit: 5,
      edgeLimit: 100,
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### Source location

Source locations are included by default when this feature is enabled.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={8}
'use client'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <button
      type="button"
      onClick={() => {
        console.log('Hello World')
      }}
    >
      Click me
    </button>
  )
}
```

Clicking the button prints this message to the terminal.

```bash filename="Terminal"
[browser] Hello World (app/page.tsx:8:17)
```

To suppress them, set `showSourceLocation: false`.

* **showSourceLocation**: Include source location info when available.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: {
      showSourceLocation: false,
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    browserDebugInfoInTerminal: {
      showSourceLocation: false,
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

# Cache Components
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Good to know:** Cache Components is an opt-in feature. Enable it by setting the `cacheComponents` flag to `true` in your Next config file. See [Enabling Cache Components](#enabling-cache-components) for more details.

Cache Components lets you mix static, cached, and dynamic content in a single route, giving you the speed of static sites with the flexibility of dynamic rendering.

Server-rendered applications typically force a choice between static pages (fast but stale) and dynamic pages (fresh but slow). Moving this work to the client trades server load for larger bundles and slower initial rendering.

Cache Components eliminates these tradeoffs by prerendering routes into a **static HTML shell** that's immediately sent to the browser, with dynamic content updating the UI as it becomes ready.

![Partially re-rendered Product Page showing static nav and product information, and dynamic cart and recommended products](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/learn/light/thinking-in-ppr.png)

## How rendering works with Cache Components

At build time, Next.js renders your route's component tree. As long as components don't access network resources, certain system APIs, or require an incoming request to render, their output is **automatically added to the static shell**. Otherwise, you must choose how to handle them:

* Defer rendering to request time by wrapping components in React's [`<Suspense>`](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense), [showing fallback UI](#defer-rendering-to-request-time) until the content is ready, or
* Cache the result using the [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive to [include it in the static shell](#using-use-cache) (if no request data is needed)

Because this happens ahead of time, before a request arrives, we refer to it as prerendering. This generates a static shell consisting of HTML for initial page loads and a serialized [RSC Payload](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#on-the-server) for client-side navigation, ensuring the browser receives fully rendered content instantly whether users navigate directly to the URL or transition from another page.

Next.js requires you to explicitly handle components that can't complete during prerendering. If they aren't wrapped in `<Suspense>` or marked with `use cache`, you'll see an [`Uncached data was accessed outside of <Suspense>`](https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/blocking-route) error during development and build time.

> **Good to know**: Caching can be applied at the component or function level, while fallback UI can be defined around any subtree, which means you can compose static, cached, and dynamic content within a single route.

![Diagram showing partially rendered page on the client, with loading UI for chunks that are being streamed.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/server-rendering-with-streaming.png)

This rendering approach is called **Partial Prerendering**, and it's the default behavior with Cache Components. For the rest of this document, we simply refer to it as "prerendering" which can produce a partial or complete output.

> **🎥 Watch:** Why Partial Prerendering and how it works → [YouTube (10 minutes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTcPrTIBkpA).

## Automatically prerendered content

Operations like synchronous I/O, module imports, and pure computations can complete during prerendering. Components using only these operations have their rendered output included in the static HTML shell.

Because all operations in the `Page` component below complete during rendering, its rendered output is automatically included in the static shell. When both the layout and page prerender successfully, the entire route is the static shell.

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
import fs from 'node:fs'

export default async function Page() {
  // Synchronous file system read
  const content = fs.readFileSync('./config.json', 'utf-8')

  // Module imports
  const constants = await import('./constants.json')

  // Pure computations
  const processed = JSON.parse(content).items.map((item) => item.value * 2)

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{constants.appName}</h1>
      <ul>
        {processed.map((value, i) => (
          <li key={i}>{value}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: You can verify that a route was fully prerendered by checking the build output summary. Alternatively see what content was added to the static shell of any page by viewing the page source in your browser.

## Defer rendering to request time

During prerendering, when Next.js encounters work it can't complete (like network requests, accessing request data, or async operations), it requires you to explicitly handle it. To defer rendering to request time, a parent component must provide fallback UI using a Suspense boundary. The fallback becomes part of the static shell while the actual content resolves at request time.

Place Suspense boundaries as close as possible to the components that need them. This maximizes the amount of content in the static shell, since everything outside the boundary can still prerender normally.

> **Good to know**: With Suspense boundaries, multiple dynamic sections can render in parallel rather than blocking each other, reducing total load time.

### Dynamic content

External systems provide content asynchronously, which often takes an unpredictable time to resolve and may even fail. This is why prerendering doesn't execute them automatically.

In general, when you need the latest data from the source on each request (like real-time feeds or personalized content), defer rendering by providing fallback UI with a Suspense boundary.

For example the `DynamicContent` component below uses multiple operations that are not automatically prerendered.

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import fs from 'node:fs/promises'
import { setTimeout } from 'node:timers/promises'

async function DynamicContent() {
  // Network request
  const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')

  // Database query
  const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users')

  // Async file system operation
  const file = await fs.readFile('..', 'utf-8')

  // Simulating external system delay
  await setTimeout(100) // from 'node:timers/promises'

  return <div>Not in the static shell</div>
}
```

To use `DynamicContent` within a page, wrap it in `<Suspense>` to define fallback UI:

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
export default async function Page(props) {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Part of the static shell</h1>
      {/* <p>Loading..</p> is part of the static shell */}
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading..</p>}>
        <DynamicContent />
        <div>Sibling excluded from static shell</div>
      </Suspense>
    </>
  )
}
```

Prerendering stops at the `fetch` request. The request itself is not started, and any code after it is not executed.

The fallback (`<p>Loading...</p>`) is included in the static shell, while the component's content streams at request time.

In this example, since all operations (network request, database query, file read, and timeout) run sequentially within the same component, the content won't appear until they all complete.

> **Good to know**: For dynamic content that doesn't change frequently, you can use `use cache` to include the dynamic data in the static shell instead of streaming it. See the [during prerendering](#during-prerendering) section for an example.

### Runtime data

A specific type of dynamic data that requires request context, only available when a user makes a request.

* [`cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) - User's cookie data
* [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) - Request headers
* [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) - URL query parameters
* [`params`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#params-optional) - Dynamic route parameters (unless at least one sample is provided via [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md))

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

async function RuntimeData({ searchParams }) {
  // Accessing request data
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const headerStore = await headers()
  const search = await searchParams

  return <div>Not in the static shell</div>
}
```

To use the `RuntimeData` component in, wrap it in a `<Suspense>` boundary:

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
export default async function Page(props) {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Part of the static shell</h1>
      {/* <p>Loading..</p> is part of the static shell */}
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading..</p>}>
        <RuntimeData searchParams={props.searchParams} />
        <div>Sibling excluded from static shell</div>
      </Suspense>
    </>
  )
}
```

Use [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md) if you need to defer to request time without accessing any of the runtime APIs above.

> **Good to know**: Runtime data cannot be cached with `use cache` because it requires request context. Components that access runtime APIs must always be wrapped in `<Suspense>`. However, you can extract values from runtime data and pass them as arguments to cached functions. See the [with runtime data](#with-runtime-data) section for an example.

### Non-deterministic operations

Operations like `Math.random()`, `Date.now()`, or `crypto.randomUUID()` produce different values each time they execute. To ensure these run at request time (generating unique values per request), Cache Components requires you to explicitly signal this intent by calling these operations after dynamic or runtime data access.

```tsx
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

async function UniqueContent() {
  // Explicitly defer to request time
  await connection()

  // Non-deterministic operations
  const random = Math.random()
  const now = Date.now()
  const date = new Date()
  const uuid = crypto.randomUUID()
  const bytes = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16))

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{random}</p>
      <p>{now}</p>
      <p>{date.getTime()}</p>
      <p>{uuid}</p>
      <p>{bytes}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Because the `UniqueContent` component defers to request time, to use it within a route, it must be wrapped in `<Suspense>`:

```tsx filename="page.tsx"
export default async function Page() {
  return (
    // <p>Loading..</p> is part of the static shell
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading..</p>}>
      <UniqueContent />
    </Suspense>
  )
}
```

Every incoming request would see different random numbers, date, etc.

> **Good to know**: You can cache non-deterministic operations with `use cache`. See the [with non-deterministic operations](#with-non-deterministic-operations) section for examples.

## Using `use cache`

The [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive caches the return value of async functions and components. You can apply it at the function, component, or file level.

Arguments and any closed-over values from parent scopes automatically become part of the [cache key](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md#cache-keys), which means different inputs produce separate cache entries. This enables personalized or parameterized cached content.

When [dynamic content](#dynamic-content) doesn't need to be fetched fresh from the source on every request, caching it lets you include the content in the static shell during prerendering, or reuse the result at runtime across multiple requests.

Cached content can be revalidated in two ways: automatically based on the cache lifetime, or on-demand using tags with [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) or [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md).

> **Good to know**: See [serialization requirements and constraints](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md#constraints) for details on what can be cached and how arguments work.

### During prerendering

While [dynamic content](#dynamic-content) is fetched from external sources, it's often unlikely to change between accesses. Product catalog data updates with inventory changes, blog post content rarely changes after publishing, and analytics reports for past dates remain static.

If this data doesn't depend on [runtime data](#runtime-data), you can use the `use cache` directive to include it in the static HTML shell. Use [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) to define how long to use the cached data.

When revalidation occurs, the static shell is updated with fresh content. See [Tagging and revalidating](#tagging-and-revalidating) for details on on-demand revalidation.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={1,4,5}
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')

  const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users')

  return (
    <ul>
      {users.map((user) => (
        <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

The `cacheLife` function accepts a cache profile name (like `'hours'`, `'days'`, or `'weeks'`) or a custom configuration object to control cache behavior:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={1,4-8}
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife({
    stale: 3600, // 1 hour until considered stale
    revalidate: 7200, // 2 hours until revalidated
    expire: 86400, // 1 day until expired
  })

  const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users')

  return (
    <ul>
      {users.map((user) => (
        <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

See the [`cacheLife` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) for available profiles and custom configuration options.

### With runtime data

Runtime data and [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) cannot be used in the same scope. However, you can extract values from runtime APIs and pass them as arguments to cached functions.

```tsx filename="app/profile/page.tsx"
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

export default function Page() {
  // Page itself creates the dynamic boundary
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
      <ProfileContent />
    </Suspense>
  )
}

// Component (not cached) reads runtime data
async function ProfileContent() {
  const session = (await cookies()).get('session')?.value

  return <CachedContent sessionId={session} />
}

// Cached component/function receives data as props
async function CachedContent({ sessionId }: { sessionId: string }) {
  'use cache'
  // sessionId becomes part of cache key
  const data = await fetchUserData(sessionId)
  return <div>{data}</div>
}
```

At request time, `CachedContent` executes if no matching cache entry is found, and stores the result for future requests.

### With non-deterministic operations

Within a `use cache` scope, non-deterministic operations execute during prerendering. This is useful when you want the same rendered output served to all users:

```tsx
export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'

  // Execute once, then cached for all requests
  const random = Math.random()
  const random2 = Math.random()
  const now = Date.now()
  const date = new Date()
  const uuid = crypto.randomUUID()
  const bytes = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16))

  return (
    <div>
      <p>
        {random} and {random2}
      </p>
      <p>{now}</p>
      <p>{date.getTime()}</p>
      <p>{uuid}</p>
      <p>{bytes}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

All requests will be served a route containing same random numbers, timestamp, and UUID until the cache is revalidated.

### Tagging and revalidating

Tag cached data with [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) and revalidate it after mutations using [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) in Server Actions for immediate updates, or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) when delays in updates are acceptable.

#### With `updateTag`

Use `updateTag` when you need to expire and immediately refresh cached data within the same request:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={1,4,5,13}
import { cacheTag, updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getCart() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('cart')
  // fetch data
}

export async function updateCart(itemId: string) {
  'use server'
  // write data using the itemId
  // update the user cart
  updateTag('cart')
}
```

#### With `revalidateTag`

Use `revalidateTag` when you want to invalidate only properly tagged cached entries with stale-while-revalidate behavior. This is ideal for static content that can tolerate eventual consistency.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={1,4,5,12}
import { cacheTag, revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getPosts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('posts')
  // fetch data
}

export async function createPost(post: FormData) {
  'use server'
  // write data using the FormData
  revalidateTag('posts', 'max')
}
```

For more detailed explanation and usage examples, see the [`use cache` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md).

### What should I cache?

What you cache should be a function of what you want your UI loading states to be. If data doesn't depend on runtime data and you're okay with a cached value being served for multiple requests over a period of time, use `use cache` with `cacheLife` to describe that behavior.

For content management systems with update mechanisms, consider using tags with longer cache durations and rely on `revalidateTag` to mark static initial UI as ready for revalidation. This pattern allows you to serve fast, cached responses while still updating content when it actually changes, rather than expiring the cache preemptively.

## Putting it all together

Here's a complete example showing static content, cached dynamic content, and streaming dynamic content working together on a single page:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function BlogPage() {
  return (
    <>
      {/* Static content - prerendered automatically */}
      <header>
        <h1>Our Blog</h1>
        <nav>
          <Link href="/">Home</Link> | <Link href="/about">About</Link>
        </nav>
      </header>

      {/* Cached dynamic content - included in the static shell */}
      <BlogPosts />

      {/* Runtime dynamic content - streams at request time */}
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading your preferences...</p>}>
        <UserPreferences />
      </Suspense>
    </>
  )
}

// Everyone sees the same blog posts (revalidated every hour)
async function BlogPosts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')

  const res = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await res.json()

  return (
    <section>
      <h2>Latest Posts</h2>
      <ul>
        {posts.slice(0, 5).map((post: any) => (
          <li key={post.id}>
            <h3>{post.title}</h3>
            <p>
              By {post.author} on {post.date}
            </p>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </section>
  )
}

// Personalized per user based on their cookie
async function UserPreferences() {
  const theme = (await cookies()).get('theme')?.value || 'light'
  const favoriteCategory = (await cookies()).get('category')?.value

  return (
    <aside>
      <p>Your theme: {theme}</p>
      {favoriteCategory && <p>Favorite category: {favoriteCategory}</p>}
    </aside>
  )
}
```

During prerendering the header (static) and the blog posts fetched from the API (cached with `use cache`), both become part of the static shell along with the fallback UI for user preferences.

When a user visits the page, they instantly see this prerendered shell with the header and blog posts. Only the personalized preferences need to stream in at request time since they depend on the user's cookies. This ensures fast initial page loads while still providing personalized content.

## Enabling Cache Components

You can enable Cache Components (which includes PPR) by adding the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) option to your Next config file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" highlight={4} switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" highlight={3} switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> **Good to know:** When Cache Components is enabled, `GET` Route Handlers follow the same prerendering model as pages. See [Route Handlers with Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/route-handlers.md#with-cache-components) for details.

## Navigation uses Activity

When the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) flag is enabled, Next.js uses React's [`<Activity>`](https://react.dev/reference/react/Activity) component to preserve component state during client-side navigation.

Rather than unmounting the previous route when you navigate away, Next.js sets the Activity mode to [`"hidden"`](https://react.dev/reference/react/Activity#activity). This means:

* Component state is preserved when navigating between routes
* When you navigate back, the previous route reappears with its state intact
* Effects are cleaned up when a route is hidden, and recreated when it becomes visible again

This behavior improves the navigation experience by maintaining UI state (form inputs, or expanded sections) when users navigate back and forth between routes.

> **Good to know**: Next.js uses heuristics to keep a few recently visited routes `"hidden"`, while older routes are removed from the DOM to prevent excessive growth.

## Migrating route segment configs

When Cache Components is enabled, several route segment config options are no longer needed or supported:

### `dynamic = "force-dynamic"`

**Not needed.** All pages are dynamic by default.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// Before - No longer needed
export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'

export default function Page() {
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// After - Just remove it
export default function Page() {
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

### `dynamic = "force-static"`

Start by removing it. When unhandled dynamic or runtime data access is detected during development and built time, Next.js raises an error. Otherwise, the [prerendering](#automatically-prerendered-content) step automatically extracts the static HTML shell.

For dynamic data access, add [`use cache`](#using-use-cache) as close to the data access as possible with a long [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) like `'max'` to maintain cached behavior. If needed, add it at the top of the page or layout.

For runtime data access (`cookies()`, `headers()`, etc.), errors will direct you to [wrap it with `Suspense`](#runtime-data). Since you started by using `force-static`, you must remove the runtime data access to prevent any request time work.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// Before
export const dynamic = 'force-static'

export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

// After - Use 'use cache' instead
export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('max')
  const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

### `revalidate`

**Replace with `cacheLife`.** Use the `cacheLife` function to define cache duration instead of the route segment config.

```tsx
// Before
export const revalidate = 3600 // 1 hour

export default async function Page() {
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// After - Use cacheLife
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

### `fetchCache`

**Not needed.** With `use cache`, all data fetching within a cached scope is automatically cached, making `fetchCache` unnecessary.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// Before
export const fetchCache = 'force-cache'
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// After - Use 'use cache' to control caching behavior
export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  // All fetches here are cached
  return <div>...</div>
}
```

### `runtime = 'edge'`

**Not supported.** Cache Components requires Node.js runtime and will throw errors with [Edge Runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md).

# cacheComponents
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `cacheComponents` flag is a feature in Next.js that causes data fetching operations in the App Router to be excluded from pre-renders unless they are explicitly cached. This can be useful for optimizing the performance of dynamic data fetching in Server Components.

It is useful if your application requires fresh data fetching during runtime rather than serving from a pre-rendered cache.

It is expected to be used in conjunction with [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) so that your data fetching happens at runtime by default unless you define specific parts of your application to be cached with `use cache` at the page, function, or component level.

## Usage

To enable the `cacheComponents` flag, set it to `true` in your `next.config.ts` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

When `cacheComponents` is enabled, you can use the following cache functions and configurations:

* The [`use cache` directive](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md)
* The [`cacheLife` function](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheLife.md) with `use cache`
* The [`cacheTag` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md)

## Notes

* While `cacheComponents` can optimize performance by ensuring fresh data fetching during runtime, it may also introduce additional latency compared to serving pre-rendered content.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheHandlers.md

# cacheHandlers
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `cacheHandlers` configuration allows you to define custom cache storage implementations for [`'use cache'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) and [`'use cache: remote'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-remote.md). This enables you to store cached components and functions in external services or customize the caching behavior. [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) is not configurable.

## When to use custom cache handlers

**Most applications don't need custom cache handlers.** The default in-memory cache works well in the typical use case.

Custom cache handlers are for advanced scenarios where you need to either share cache across multiple instances or change where the cache is stored. For example, you can configure a custom `remote` handler for external storage (like a key-value store), then use `'use cache'` in your code for in-memory caching and `'use cache: remote'` for the external storage, allowing different caching strategies within the same application.

**Sharing cache across instances**

The default in-memory cache is isolated to each Next.js process. If you're running multiple servers or containers, each instance will have its own cache that isn't shared with others and is lost on restart.

Custom handlers let you integrate with shared storage systems (like Redis, Memcached, or DynamoDB) that all your Next.js instances can access.

**Changing storage type**

You might want to store cache differently than the default in-memory approach. You can implement a custom handler to store cache on disk, in a database, or in an external caching service. Reasons include: persistence across restarts, reducing memory usage, or integrating with existing infrastructure.

## Usage

To configure custom cache handlers:

1. Define your cache handler in a separate file, see [examples](#examples) for implementation details.
2. Reference the file path in your Next config file

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheHandlers: {
    default: require.resolve('./cache-handlers/default-handler.js'),
    remote: require.resolve('./cache-handlers/remote-handler.js'),
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  cacheHandlers: {
    default: require.resolve('./cache-handlers/default-handler.js'),
    remote: require.resolve('./cache-handlers/remote-handler.js'),
  },
}
```

### Handler types

* **`default`**: Used by the `'use cache'` directive
* **`remote`**: Used by the `'use cache: remote'` directive

If you don't configure `cacheHandlers`, Next.js uses an in-memory LRU (Least Recently Used) cache for both `default` and `remote`. You can view the [default implementation](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/server/lib/cache-handlers/default.ts) as a reference.

You can also define additional named handlers (e.g., `sessions`, `analytics`) and reference them with `'use cache: <name>'`.

Note that `'use cache: private'` does not use cache handlers and cannot be customized.

## API Reference

A cache handler must implement the [`CacheHandler`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/server/lib/cache-handlers/types.ts) interface with the following methods:

### `get()`

Retrieve a cache entry for the given cache key.

```ts
get(cacheKey: string, softTags: string[]): Promise<CacheEntry | undefined>
```

| Parameter  | Type       | Description                                                  |
| ---------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `cacheKey` | `string`   | The unique key for the cache entry.                          |
| `softTags` | `string[]` | Tags to check for staleness (used in some cache strategies). |

Returns a `CacheEntry` object if found, or `undefined` if not found or expired.

Your `get` method should retrieve the cache entry from storage, check if it has expired based on the `revalidate` time, and return `undefined` for missing or expired entries.

```js
const cacheHandler = {
  async get(cacheKey, softTags) {
    const entry = cache.get(cacheKey)
    if (!entry) return undefined

    // Check if expired
    const now = Date.now()
    if (now > entry.timestamp + entry.revalidate * 1000) {
      return undefined
    }

    return entry
  },
}
```

### `set()`

Store a cache entry for the given cache key.

```ts
set(cacheKey: string, pendingEntry: Promise<CacheEntry>): Promise<void>
```

| Parameter      | Type                  | Description                                 |
| -------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `cacheKey`     | `string`              | The unique key to store the entry under.    |
| `pendingEntry` | `Promise<CacheEntry>` | A promise that resolves to the cache entry. |

The entry may still be pending when this is called (i.e., its value stream may still be written to). Your handler should await the promise before processing the entry.

Returns `Promise<void>`.

Your `set` method must await the `pendingEntry` promise before storing it, since the cache entry may still be generating when this method is called. Once resolved, store the entry in your cache system.

```js
const cacheHandler = {
  async set(cacheKey, pendingEntry) {
    // Wait for the entry to be ready
    const entry = await pendingEntry

    // Store in your cache system
    cache.set(cacheKey, entry)
  },
}
```

### `refreshTags()`

Called periodically before starting a new request to sync with external tag services.

```ts
refreshTags(): Promise<void>
```

This is useful if you're coordinating cache invalidation across multiple instances or services. For in-memory caches, this can be a no-op.

Returns `Promise<void>`.

For in-memory caches, this can be a no-op. For distributed caches, use this to sync tag state from an external service or database before processing requests.

```js
const cacheHandler = {
  async refreshTags() {
    // For in-memory cache, no action needed
    // For distributed cache, sync tag state from external service
  },
}
```

### `getExpiration()`

Get the maximum revalidation timestamp for a set of tags.

```ts
getExpiration(tags: string[]): Promise<number>
```

| Parameter | Type       | Description                            |
| --------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `tags`    | `string[]` | Array of tags to check expiration for. |

Returns:

* `0` if none of the tags were ever revalidated
* A timestamp (in milliseconds) representing the most recent revalidation
* `Infinity` to indicate soft tags should be checked in the `get` method instead

If you're not tracking tag revalidation timestamps, return `0`. Otherwise, find the most recent revalidation timestamp across all the provided tags. Return `Infinity` if you prefer to handle soft tag checking in the `get` method.

```js
const cacheHandler = {
  async getExpiration(tags) {
    // Return 0 if not tracking tag revalidation
    return 0

    // Or return the most recent revalidation timestamp
    // return Math.max(...tags.map(tag => tagTimestamps.get(tag) || 0));
  },
}
```

### `updateTags()`

Called when tags are revalidated or expired.

```ts
updateTags(tags: string[], durations?: { expire?: number }): Promise<void>
```

| Parameter   | Type                  | Description                              |
| ----------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `tags`      | `string[]`            | Array of tags to update.                 |
| `durations` | `{ expire?: number }` | Optional expiration duration in seconds. |

Your handler should update its internal state to mark these tags as invalidated.

Returns `Promise<void>`.

When tags are revalidated, your handler should invalidate all cache entries that have any of those tags. Iterate through your cache and remove entries whose tags match the provided list.

```js
const cacheHandler = {
  async updateTags(tags, durations) {
    // Invalidate all cache entries with matching tags
    for (const [key, entry] of cache.entries()) {
      if (entry.tags.some((tag) => tags.includes(tag))) {
        cache.delete(key)
      }
    }
  },
}
```

## CacheEntry Type

The [`CacheEntry`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/server/lib/cache-handlers/types.ts) object has the following structure:

```ts
interface CacheEntry {
  value: ReadableStream<Uint8Array>
  tags: string[]
  stale: number
  timestamp: number
  expire: number
  revalidate: number
}
```

| Property     | Type                         | Description                                                  |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `value`      | `ReadableStream<Uint8Array>` | The cached data as a stream.                                 |
| `tags`       | `string[]`                   | Cache tags (excluding soft tags).                            |
| `stale`      | `number`                     | Duration in seconds for client-side staleness.               |
| `timestamp`  | `number`                     | When the entry was created (timestamp in milliseconds).      |
| `expire`     | `number`                     | How long the entry is allowed to be used (in seconds).       |
| `revalidate` | `number`                     | How long until the entry should be revalidated (in seconds). |

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `value` is a [`ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream). Use [`.tee()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream/tee) if you need to read and store the stream data.
> * If the stream errors with partial data, your handler must decide whether to keep the partial cache or discard it.

## Examples

### Basic in-memory cache handler

Here's a minimal implementation using a `Map` for storage. This example demonstrates the core concepts, but for a production-ready implementation with LRU eviction, error handling, and tag management, see the [default cache handler](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/server/lib/cache-handlers/default.ts).

```js filename="cache-handlers/memory-handler.js"
const cache = new Map()
const pendingSets = new Map()

module.exports = {
  async get(cacheKey, softTags) {
    // Wait for any pending set operation to complete
    const pendingPromise = pendingSets.get(cacheKey)
    if (pendingPromise) {
      await pendingPromise
    }

    const entry = cache.get(cacheKey)
    if (!entry) {
      return undefined
    }

    // Check if entry has expired
    const now = Date.now()
    if (now > entry.timestamp + entry.revalidate * 1000) {
      return undefined
    }

    return entry
  },

  async set(cacheKey, pendingEntry) {
    // Create a promise to track this set operation
    let resolvePending
    const pendingPromise = new Promise((resolve) => {
      resolvePending = resolve
    })
    pendingSets.set(cacheKey, pendingPromise)

    try {
      // Wait for the entry to be ready
      const entry = await pendingEntry

      // Store the entry in the cache
      cache.set(cacheKey, entry)
    } finally {
      resolvePending()
      pendingSets.delete(cacheKey)
    }
  },

  async refreshTags() {
    // No-op for in-memory cache
  },

  async getExpiration(tags) {
    // Return 0 to indicate no tags have been revalidated
    return 0
  },

  async updateTags(tags, durations) {
    // Implement tag-based invalidation
    for (const [key, entry] of cache.entries()) {
      if (entry.tags.some((tag) => tags.includes(tag))) {
        cache.delete(key)
      }
    }
  },
}
```

### External storage pattern

For durable storage like Redis or a database, you'll need to serialize the cache entries. Here's a simple Redis example:

```js filename="cache-handlers/redis-handler.js"
const { createClient } = require('redis')

const client = createClient({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL })
client.connect()

module.exports = {
  async get(cacheKey, softTags) {
    // Retrieve from Redis
    const stored = await client.get(cacheKey)
    if (!stored) return undefined

    // Deserialize the entry
    const data = JSON.parse(stored)

    // Reconstruct the ReadableStream from stored data
    return {
      value: new ReadableStream({
        start(controller) {
          controller.enqueue(Buffer.from(data.value, 'base64'))
          controller.close()
        },
      }),
      tags: data.tags,
      stale: data.stale,
      timestamp: data.timestamp,
      expire: data.expire,
      revalidate: data.revalidate,
    }
  },

  async set(cacheKey, pendingEntry) {
    const entry = await pendingEntry

    // Read the stream to get the data
    const reader = entry.value.getReader()
    const chunks = []

    try {
      while (true) {
        const { done, value } = await reader.read()
        if (done) break
        chunks.push(value)
      }
    } finally {
      reader.releaseLock()
    }

    // Combine chunks and serialize for Redis storage
    const data = Buffer.concat(chunks.map((chunk) => Buffer.from(chunk)))

    await client.set(
      cacheKey,
      JSON.stringify({
        value: data.toString('base64'),
        tags: entry.tags,
        stale: entry.stale,
        timestamp: entry.timestamp,
        expire: entry.expire,
        revalidate: entry.revalidate,
      }),
      { EX: entry.expire } // Use Redis TTL for automatic expiration
    )
  },

  async refreshTags() {
    // No-op for basic Redis implementation
    // Could sync with external tag service if needed
  },

  async getExpiration(tags) {
    // Return 0 to indicate no tags have been revalidated
    // Could query Redis for tag expiration timestamps if tracking them
    return 0
  },

  async updateTags(tags, durations) {
    // Implement tag-based invalidation if needed
    // Could iterate over keys with matching tags and delete them
  },
}
```

# cacheLife
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `cacheLife` function is used to set the cache lifetime of a function or component. It should be used alongside the [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive, and within the scope of the function or component.

## Usage

### Basic setup

To use `cacheLife`, first enable the [`cacheComponents` flag](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) in your `next.config.js` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

`cacheLife` requires the `use cache` directive, which must be placed at the file level or at the top of an async function or component.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If used, `cacheLife` should be placed within the function whose output is being cached, even when the `use cache` directive is at file level
> * Only one `cacheLife` call should execute per function invocation. You can call `cacheLife` in different control flow branches, but ensure only one executes per run. See the [conditional cache lifetimes](#conditional-cache-lifetimes) example

### Using preset profiles

Next.js provides preset cache profiles that cover common caching needs. Each profile balances three factors:

* How long users see cached content without checking for updates (client-side)
* How often fresh content is generated on the server
* When old content expires completely

Choose a profile based on how frequently your content changes:

* **`seconds`** - Real-time data (stock prices, live scores)
* **`minutes`** - Frequently updated (social feeds, news)
* **`hours`** - Multiple daily updates (product inventory, weather)
* **`days`** - Daily updates (blog posts, articles)
* **`weeks`** - Weekly updates (podcasts, newsletters)
* **`max`** - Rarely changes (legal pages, archived content)

Import `cacheLife` and pass a profile name:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" highlight={1,5}
'use cache'
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function BlogPage() {
  cacheLife('days') // Blog content updated daily

  const posts = await getBlogPosts()
  return <div>{/* render posts */}</div>
}
```

The profile name tells Next.js how to cache the entire function's output. If you don't call `cacheLife`, the `default` profile is used. See [preset cache profiles](#preset-cache-profiles) for timing details.

## Reference

### Cache profile properties

Cache profiles control caching behavior through three timing properties:

* **[`stale`](#stale)**: How long the client can use cached data without checking the server
* **[`revalidate`](#revalidate)**: After this time, the next request will trigger a background refresh
* **[`expire`](#expire)**: After this time with no requests, the next one waits for fresh content

#### `stale`

**Client-side:** How long the client can use cached data without checking the server.

During this time, the client-side router displays cached content immediately without any network request. After this period expires, the router must check with the server on the next navigation or request. This provides instant page loads from the client cache, but data may be outdated.

```tsx
cacheLife({ stale: 300 }) // 5 minutes
```

#### `revalidate`

How often the server regenerates cached content in the background.

* When a request arrives after this period, the server:
  1. Serves the cached version immediately (if available)
  2. Regenerates content in the background
  3. Updates the cache with fresh content
* Similar to [Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md)

```tsx
cacheLife({ revalidate: 900 }) // 15 minutes
```

#### `expire`

Maximum time before the server must regenerate cached content.

* After this period with no traffic, the server regenerates content synchronously on the next request
* When you set both `revalidate` and `expire`, `expire` must be longer than `revalidate`. Next.js validates this and raises an error for invalid configurations.

```tsx
cacheLife({ expire: 3600 }) // 1 hour
```

### Preset cache profiles

If you don't specify a profile, Next.js uses the `default` profile. We recommend explicitly setting a profile to make caching behavior clear.

| **Profile** | **Use Case**                           | `stale`    | `revalidate` | `expire` |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------------ | -------- |
| `default`   | Standard content                       | 5 minutes  | 15 minutes   | 1 year   |
| `seconds`   | Real-time data                         | 30 seconds | 1 second     | 1 minute |
| `minutes`   | Frequently updated content             | 5 minutes  | 1 minute     | 1 hour   |
| `hours`     | Content updated multiple times per day | 5 minutes  | 1 hour       | 1 day    |
| `days`      | Content updated daily                  | 5 minutes  | 1 day        | 1 week   |
| `weeks`     | Content updated weekly                 | 5 minutes  | 1 week       | 30 days  |
| `max`       | Stable content that rarely changes     | 5 minutes  | 30 days      | 1 year   |

### Custom cache profiles

Define reusable cache profiles in your `next.config.ts` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
  cacheLife: {
    biweekly: {
      stale: 60 * 60 * 24 * 14, // 14 days
      revalidate: 60 * 60 * 24, // 1 day
      expire: 60 * 60 * 24 * 14, // 14 days
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
  cacheLife: {
    biweekly: {
      stale: 60 * 60 * 24 * 14, // 14 days
      revalidate: 60 * 60 * 24, // 1 day
      expire: 60 * 60 * 24 * 14, // 14 days
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

The example above caches for 14 days, checks for updates daily, and expires the cache after 14 days. You can then reference this profile throughout your application by its name:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={5}
'use cache'
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page() {
  cacheLife('biweekly')
  return <div>Page</div>
}
```

### Overriding the default cache profiles

While the default cache profiles provide a useful way to think about how fresh or stale any given part of cacheable output can be, you may prefer different named profiles to better align with your applications caching strategies.

You can override the default named cache profiles by creating a new configuration with the same name as the defaults.

The example below shows how to override the default `"days"` cache profile:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
  cacheLife: {
    // Override the 'days' profile
    days: {
      stale: 3600, // 1 hour
      revalidate: 900, // 15 minutes
      expire: 86400, // 1 day
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

### Inline cache profiles

For one-off cases, pass a profile object directly to `cacheLife`:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
'use cache'
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page() {
  cacheLife({
    stale: 3600,
    revalidate: 900,
    expire: 86400,
  })

  return <div>Page</div>
}
```

Inline profiles apply only to the specific function or component. For reusable configurations, define custom profiles in `next.config.ts`.

Using `cacheLife({})` with an empty object applies the `default` profile values.

### Client router cache behavior

The `stale` property controls the client-side router cache, not the `Cache-Control` header:

* The server sends the stale time via the `x-nextjs-stale-time` response header
* The client router uses this value to determine when to revalidate
* **Minimum of 30 seconds is enforced** to ensure prefetched links remain usable

This 30-second minimum prevents prefetched data from expiring before users can click on links. It only applies to time-based expiration.

When you call revalidation functions from a Server Action ([`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md), [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md), [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md), or [`refresh`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh.md)), the entire client cache is immediately cleared, bypassing the stale time.

> **Good to know**: The `stale` property in `cacheLife` differs from [`staleTimes`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md). While `staleTimes` is a global setting affecting all routes, `cacheLife` allows per-function or per-route configuration. Updating `staleTimes.static` also updates the `stale` value of the `default` cache profile.

## Examples

### Using preset profiles

The simplest way to configure caching is using preset profiles. Choose one that matches your content's update pattern:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function BlogPost() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('days') // Blog posts updated daily

  const post = await fetchBlogPost()
  return <article>{post.content}</article>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/products/[id]/page.tsx"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ProductPage() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours') // Product data updated multiple times per day

  const product = await fetchProduct()
  return <div>{product.name}</div>
}
```

### Custom profiles for specific needs

Define custom profiles when preset options don't match your requirements:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
  cacheLife: {
    editorial: {
      stale: 600, // 10 minutes
      revalidate: 3600, // 1 hour
      expire: 86400, // 1 day
    },
    marketing: {
      stale: 300, // 5 minutes
      revalidate: 1800, // 30 minutes
      expire: 43200, // 12 hours
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

Then use these profiles throughout your application:

```tsx filename="app/editorial/page.tsx"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function EditorialPage() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('editorial')
  // ...
}
```

### Inline profiles for unique cases

Use inline profiles when a specific function needs one-off caching behavior:

```tsx filename="app/api/limited-offer/route.ts"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'
import { getDb } from '@lib/db'

async function getLimitedOffer() {
  'use cache'

  cacheLife({
    stale: 60, // 1 minute
    revalidate: 300, // 5 minutes
    expire: 3600, // 1 hour
  })

  const offer = await getDb().offer.findFirst({
    where: { type: 'limited' },
    orderBy: { created_at: 'desc' },
  })

  return offer
}

export async function GET() {
  const offer = await getLimitedOffer()

  return Response.json(offer)
}
```

### Caching individual functions

Apply caching to utility functions for granular control:

```tsx filename="lib/api.ts"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export async function getSettings() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('max') // Settings rarely change

  return await fetchSettings()
}
```

```tsx filename="lib/stats.ts"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export async function getRealtimeStats() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('seconds') // Stats update constantly

  return await fetchStats()
}
```

### Nested caching behavior

When you nest `use cache` directives (a cached function or component using another cached function or component), the outer cache's behavior depends on whether it has an explicit `cacheLife`.

#### With explicit outer cacheLife

The outer cache uses its own lifetime, regardless of inner cache lifetimes. When the outer cache hits, it returns the complete output including all nested data. An explicit `cacheLife` always takes precedence, whether it's longer or shorter than inner lifetimes.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'
import { Widget } from './widget'

export default async function Dashboard() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours') // Outer scope sets its own lifetime

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
      <Widget /> {/* Inner scope has 'minutes' lifetime */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

#### Without explicit outer cacheLife

If you don't call `cacheLife` in the outer cache, it uses the `default` profile (15 min revalidate). Inner caches with shorter lifetimes can reduce the outer cache's `default` lifetime. Inner caches with longer lifetimes cannot extend it beyond the default.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx"
import { Widget } from './widget'

export default async function Dashboard() {
  'use cache'
  // No cacheLife call - uses default (15 min)
  // If Widget has 5 min → Dashboard becomes 5 min
  // If Widget has 1 hour → Dashboard stays 15 min

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
      <Widget />
    </div>
  )
}
```

**It is recommended to specify an explicit `cacheLife`.** With explicit lifetime values, you can inspect a cached function or component and immediately know its behavior without tracing through nested caches. Without explicit lifetime values, the behavior becomes dependent on inner cache lifetimes, making it harder to reason about.

### Conditional cache lifetimes

You can call `cacheLife` conditionally in different code paths to set different cache durations based on your application logic:

```tsx filename="lib/posts.ts" highlight={14,19}
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

async function getPostContent(slug: string) {
  'use cache'

  const post = await fetchPost(slug)

  // Tag the cache entry for targeted revalidation
  cacheTag(`post-${slug}`)

  if (!post) {
    // Content may not be published yet or could be in draft
    // Cache briefly to reduce database load
    cacheLife('minutes')
    return null
  }

  // Published content can be cached longer
  cacheLife('days')

  // Return only the necessary data to keep cache size minimal
  return post.data
}
```

This pattern is useful when different outcomes need different cache durations, for example, when an item is missing but is likely to be available later.

#### Using dynamic cache lifetimes from data

If you want to calculate cache lifetime at runtime, for example by reading it from the fetched data, use an [inline cache profile](#inline-cache-profiles) object:

```tsx filename="lib/posts.ts" highlight={15,16,17}
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

async function getPostContent(slug: string) {
  'use cache'

  const post = await fetchPost(slug)
  cacheTag(`post-${slug}`)

  if (!post) {
    cacheLife('minutes')
    return null
  }

  // Use cache timing from CMS data directly as an object
  cacheLife({
    // Ensure post.revalidateSeconds is a number in seconds
    revalidate: post.revalidateSeconds ?? 3600,
  })

  return post.data
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md

# cacheTag
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `cacheTag` function allows you to tag cached data for on-demand invalidation. By associating tags with cache entries, you can selectively purge or revalidate specific cache entries without affecting other cached data.

## Usage

To use `cacheTag`, enable the [`cacheComponents` flag](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) in your `next.config.js` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

The `cacheTag` function takes one or more string values.

```tsx filename="app/data.ts" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('my-data')
  const data = await fetch('/api/data')
  return data
}
```

```jsx filename="app/data.js" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('my-data')
  const data = await fetch('/api/data')
  return data
}
```

You can then purge the cache on-demand using [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) API in another function, for example, a [route handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) or [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md):

```tsx filename="app/action.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function submit() {
  await addPost()
  revalidateTag('my-data')
}
```

```jsx filename="app/action.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function submit() {
  await addPost()
  revalidateTag('my-data')
}
```

## Good to know

* **Idempotent Tags**: Applying the same tag multiple times has no additional effect.
* **Multiple Tags**: You can assign multiple tags to a single cache entry by passing multiple string values to `cacheTag`.

```tsx
cacheTag('tag-one', 'tag-two')
```

* **Limits**: The max length for a custom tag is 256 characters and the max tag items is 128.

## Examples

### Tagging components or functions

Tag your cached data by calling `cacheTag` within a cached function or component:

```tsx filename="app/components/bookings.tsx" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

interface BookingsProps {
  type: string
}

export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }: BookingsProps) {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('bookings-data')

  async function getBookingsData() {
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    return data
  }

  return //...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/bookings.js" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }) {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('bookings-data')

  async function getBookingsData() {
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    return data
  }

  return //...
}
```

### Creating tags from external data

You can use the data returned from an async function to tag the cache entry.

```tsx filename="app/components/bookings.tsx" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

interface BookingsProps {
  type: string
}

export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }: BookingsProps) {
  async function getBookingsData() {
    'use cache'
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    cacheTag('bookings-data', data.id)
    return data
  }
  return //...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/bookings.js" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }) {
  async function getBookingsData() {
    'use cache'
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    cacheTag('bookings-data', data.id)
    return data
  }
  return //...
}
```

### Invalidating tagged cache

Using [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md), you can invalidate the cache for a specific tag when needed:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateBookings() {
  await updateBookingData()
  revalidateTag('bookings-data')
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateBookings() {
  await updateBookingData()
  revalidateTag('bookings-data')
}
```

# Caching and Revalidating
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Caching is a technique for storing the result of data fetching and other computations so that future requests for the same data can be served faster, without doing the work again. While revalidation allows you to update cache entries without having to rebuild your entire application.

Next.js provides a few APIs to handle caching and revalidation. This guide will walk you through when and how to use them.

* [`fetch`](#fetch)
* [`cacheTag`](#cachetag)
* [`revalidateTag`](#revalidatetag)
* [`updateTag`](#updatetag)
* [`revalidatePath`](#revalidatepath)
* [`unstable_cache`](#unstable_cache) (Legacy)

## `fetch`

By default, [`fetch`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) requests are not cached. You can cache individual requests by setting the `cache` option to `'force-cache'`.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://...', { cache: 'force-cache' })
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://...', { cache: 'force-cache' })
}
```

> **Good to know**: Although `fetch` requests are not cached by default, Next.js will [pre-render](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) routes that have `fetch` requests and cache the HTML. If you want to guarantee a route is [dynamic](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering), use the [`connection` API](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md).

To revalidate the data returned by a `fetch` request, you can use the `next.revalidate` option.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://...', { next: { revalidate: 3600 } })
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://...', { next: { revalidate: 3600 } })
}
```

This will revalidate the data after a specified amount of seconds.

You can also tag `fetch` requests to enable on-demand cache invalidation:

```tsx filename="app/lib/data.ts" switcher
export async function getUserById(id: string) {
  const data = await fetch(`https://...`, {
    next: {
      tags: ['user'],
    },
  })
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/data.js" switcher
export async function getUserById(id) {
  const data = await fetch(`https://...`, {
    next: {
      tags: ['user'],
    },
  })
}
```

See the [`fetch` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) to learn more.

## `cacheTag`

[`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) allows you to tag cached data in [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) so it can be revalidated on-demand. Previously, cache tagging was limited to `fetch` requests, and caching other work required the experimental `unstable_cache` API.

With Cache Components, you can use the [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive to cache any computation, and `cacheTag` to tag it. This works with database queries, file system operations, and other server-side work.

```tsx filename="app/lib/data.ts" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getProducts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('products')

  const products = await db.query('SELECT * FROM products')
  return products
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/data.js" switcher
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function getProducts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('products')

  const products = await db.query('SELECT * FROM products')
  return products
}
```

Once tagged, you can use [`revalidateTag`](#revalidatetag) or [`updateTag`](#updatetag) to invalidate the cache entry for products.

> **Good to know**: `cacheTag` is used with [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) and the [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive. It expands the caching and revalidation story beyond `fetch`.

See the [`cacheTag` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) to learn more.

## `revalidateTag`

`revalidateTag` is used to revalidate cache entries based on a tag and following an event. The function now supports two behaviors:

* **With `profile="max"`**: Uses stale-while-revalidate semantics, serving stale content while fetching fresh content in the background
* **Without the second argument**: Legacy behavior that immediately expires the cache (deprecated)

After tagging your cached data, using [`fetch`](#fetch) with `next.tags`, or the [`cacheTag`](#cachetag) function, you may call `revalidateTag` in a [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) or Server Action:

```tsx filename="app/lib/actions.ts" highlight={1,5} switcher
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUser(id: string) {
  // Mutate data
  revalidateTag('user', 'max') // Recommended: Uses stale-while-revalidate
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/actions.js" highlight={1,5} switcher
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUser(id) {
  // Mutate data
  revalidateTag('user', 'max') // Recommended: Uses stale-while-revalidate
}
```

You can reuse the same tag in multiple functions to revalidate them all at once.

See the [`revalidateTag` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) to learn more.

## `updateTag`

`updateTag` is specifically designed for Server Actions to immediately expire cached data for read-your-own-writes scenarios. Unlike `revalidateTag`, it can only be used within Server Actions and immediately expires the cache entry.

```tsx filename="app/lib/actions.ts" highlight={1,6} switcher
import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  // Create post in database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: {
      title: formData.get('title'),
      content: formData.get('content'),
    },
  })

  // Immediately expire cache so the new post is visible
  updateTag('posts')
  updateTag(`post-${post.id}`)

  redirect(`/posts/${post.id}`)
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/actions.js" highlight={1,6} switcher
import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  // Create post in database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: {
      title: formData.get('title'),
      content: formData.get('content'),
    },
  })

  // Immediately expire cache so the new post is visible
  updateTag('posts')
  updateTag(`post-${post.id}`)

  redirect(`/posts/${post.id}`)
}
```

The key differences between `revalidateTag` and `updateTag`:

* **`updateTag`**: Only in Server Actions, immediately expires cache, for read-your-own-writes
* **`revalidateTag`**: In Server Actions and Route Handlers, supports stale-while-revalidate with `profile="max"`

See the [`updateTag` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) to learn more.

## `revalidatePath`

`revalidatePath` is used to revalidate a route and following an event. To use it, call it in a [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) or Server Action:

```tsx filename="app/lib/actions.ts" highlight={1} switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUser(id: string) {
  // Mutate data
  revalidatePath('/profile')
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/actions.js" highlight={1} switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUser(id) {
  // Mutate data
  revalidatePath('/profile')
```

See the [`revalidatePath` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) to learn more.

## `unstable_cache`

> **Good to know**: `unstable_cache` is an experimental API. We recommend opting into [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) and replacing `unstable_cache` with the [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) directive. See the [Cache Components documentation](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) for more details.

`unstable_cache` allows you to cache the result of database queries and other async functions. To use it, wrap `unstable_cache` around the function. For example:

```ts filename="app/lib/data.ts" switcher
import { db } from '@/lib/db'
export async function getUserById(id: string) {
  return db
    .select()
    .from(users)
    .where(eq(users.id, id))
    .then((res) => res[0])
}
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/data.js" switcher
import { db } from '@/lib/db'

export async function getUserById(id) {
  return db
    .select()
    .from(users)
    .where(eq(users.id, id))
    .then((res) => res[0])
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={2,11,13} switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache'
import { getUserById } from '@/app/lib/data'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ userId: string }>
}) {
  const { userId } = await params

  const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
    async () => {
      return getUserById(userId)
    },
    [userId] // add the user ID to the cache key
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" highlight={2,7,9} switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache'
import { getUserById } from '@/app/lib/data'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { userId } = await params

  const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
    async () => {
      return getUserById(userId)
    },
    [userId] // add the user ID to the cache key
  )
}
```

The function accepts a third optional object to define how the cache should be revalidated. It accepts:

* `tags`: an array of tags used by Next.js to revalidate the cache.
* `revalidate`: the number of seconds after cache should be revalidated.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={6-9} switcher
const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
  async () => {
    return getUserById(userId)
  },
  [userId],
  {
    tags: ['user'],
    revalidate: 3600,
  }
)
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" highlight={6-9} switcher
const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
  async () => {
    return getUserById(userId)
  },
  [userId],
  {
    tags: ['user'],
    revalidate: 3600,
  }
)
```

# Caching in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js improves your application's performance and reduces costs by caching rendering work and data requests. This page provides an in-depth look at Next.js caching mechanisms, the APIs you can use to configure them, and how they interact with each other.

> **Good to know**: This page helps you understand how Next.js works under the hood but is **not** essential knowledge to be productive with Next.js. Most of Next.js' caching heuristics are determined by your API usage and have defaults for the best performance with zero or minimal configuration. If you instead want to jump to examples, [start here](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md).

## Overview

Here's a high-level overview of the different caching mechanisms and their purpose:

| Mechanism                                   | What                       | Where  | Purpose                                         | Duration                        |
| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| [Request Memoization](#request-memoization) | Return values of functions | Server | Re-use data in a React Component tree           | Per-request lifecycle           |
| [Data Cache](#data-cache)                   | Data                       | Server | Store data across user requests and deployments | Persistent (can be revalidated) |
| [Full Route Cache](#full-route-cache)       | HTML and RSC payload       | Server | Reduce rendering cost and improve performance   | Persistent (can be revalidated) |
| [Router Cache](#client-side-router-cache)   | RSC Payload                | Client | Reduce server requests on navigation            | User session or time-based      |

By default, Next.js will cache as much as possible to improve performance and reduce cost. This means routes are **statically rendered** and data requests are **cached** unless you opt out. The diagram below shows the default caching behavior: when a route is statically rendered at build time and when a static route is first visited.

![Diagram showing the default caching behavior in Next.js for the four mechanisms, with HIT, MISS and SET at build time and when a route is first visited.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/caching-overview.png)

Caching behavior changes depending on whether the route is statically or dynamically rendered, data is cached or uncached, and whether a request is part of an initial visit or a subsequent navigation. Depending on your use case, you can configure the caching behavior for individual routes and data requests.

Fetch caching is **not** supported in `proxy`. Any fetches done inside of your `proxy` will be uncached.

## Rendering Strategies

To understand how caching works in Next.js, it's helpful to understand the rendering strategies available. The rendering strategy determines when your route's HTML is generated, which directly impacts what can be cached.

### Static Rendering

With Static Rendering, routes are rendered at **build time** or in the background after [data revalidation](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md). The result is cached and can be reused across requests. Static routes are fully cached in the [Full Route Cache](#full-route-cache).

### Dynamic Rendering

With Dynamic Rendering, routes are rendered at **request time**. This happens when your route uses request-specific information like cookies, headers, or search params.

A route becomes dynamic when it uses any of these APIs:

* [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)
* [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md)
* [`connection`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md)
* [`draftMode`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/draft-mode.md)
* [`searchParams` prop](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional)
* [`unstable_noStore`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_noStore.md)
* [`fetch`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) with `{ cache: 'no-store' }`

Dynamic routes are not cached in the Full Route Cache, but can still use the [Data Cache](#data-cache) for data requests.

> **Good to know**: You can use [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) to mix static and dynamic rendering within the same route.

## Request Memoization

Next.js extends the [`fetch` API](#fetch) to automatically **memoize** requests that have the same URL and options. This means you can call a fetch function for the same data in multiple places in a React component tree while only executing it once.

![Deduplicated Fetch Requests](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/deduplicated-fetch-requests.png)

For example, if you need to use the same data across a route (e.g. in a Layout, Page, and multiple components), you do not have to fetch data at the top of the tree, and forward props between components. Instead, you can fetch data in the components that need it without worrying about the performance implications of making multiple requests across the network for the same data.

```tsx filename="app/example.tsx" switcher
async function getItem() {
  // The `fetch` function is automatically memoized and the result
  // is cached
  const res = await fetch('https://.../item/1')
  return res.json()
}

// This function is called twice, but only executed the first time
const item = await getItem() // cache MISS

// The second call could be anywhere in your route
const item = await getItem() // cache HIT
```

```jsx filename="app/example.js" switcher
async function getItem() {
  // The `fetch` function is automatically memoized and the result
  // is cached
  const res = await fetch('https://.../item/1')
  return res.json()
}

// This function is called twice, but only executed the first time
const item = await getItem() // cache MISS

// The second call could be anywhere in your route
const item = await getItem() // cache HIT
```

**How Request Memoization Works**

![Diagram showing how fetch memoization works during React rendering.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/request-memoization.png)

* While rendering a route, the first time a particular request is called, its result will not be in memory and it'll be a cache `MISS`.
* Therefore, the function will be executed, and the data will be fetched from the external source, and the result will be stored in memory.
* Subsequent function calls of the request in the same render pass will be a cache `HIT`, and the data will be returned from memory without executing the function.
* Once the route has been rendered and the rendering pass is complete, memory is "reset" and all request memoization entries are cleared.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Request memoization is a React feature, not a Next.js feature. It's included here to show how it interacts with the other caching mechanisms.
> * Memoization only applies to the `GET` method in `fetch` requests.
> * Memoization only applies to the React Component tree, this means:
>   * It applies to `fetch` requests in `generateMetadata`, `generateStaticParams`, Layouts, Pages, and other Server Components.
>   * It doesn't apply to `fetch` requests in Route Handlers as they are not a part of the React component tree.
> * For cases where `fetch` is not suitable (e.g. some database clients, CMS clients, or GraphQL clients), you can use the [React `cache` function](#react-cache-function) to memoize functions.

### Duration

The cache lasts the lifetime of a server request until the React component tree has finished rendering.

### Revalidating

Since the memoization is not shared across server requests and only applies during rendering, there is no need to revalidate it.

### Opting out

Memoization only applies to the `GET` method in `fetch` requests, other methods, such as `POST` and `DELETE`, are not memoized. This default behavior is a React optimization and we do not recommend opting out of it.

To manage individual requests, you can use the [`signal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController/signal) property from [`AbortController`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController).

```js filename="app/example.js"
const { signal } = new AbortController()
fetch(url, { signal })
```

## Data Cache

Next.js has a built-in Data Cache that **persists** the result of data fetches across incoming **server requests** and **deployments**. This is possible because Next.js extends the native `fetch` API to allow each request on the server to set its own persistent caching semantics.

> **Good to know**: In the browser, the `cache` option of `fetch` indicates how a request will interact with the browser's HTTP cache, in Next.js, the `cache` option indicates how a server-side request will interact with the server's Data Cache.

You can use the [`cache`](#fetch-optionscache) and [`next.revalidate`](#fetch-optionsnextrevalidate) options of `fetch` to configure the caching behavior.

In development mode, `fetch` data is [reused for Hot Module Replacement (HMR)](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md#fetch-default-auto-no-store-and-cache-no-store-not-showing-fresh-data-in-development), and caching options are ignored for [hard refreshes](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md#hard-refresh-and-caching-in-development).

**How the Data Cache Works**

![Diagram showing how cached and uncached fetch requests interact with the Data Cache. Cached requests are stored in the Data Cache, and memoized, uncached requests are fetched from the data source, not stored in the Data Cache, and memoized.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/data-cache.png)

* The first time a `fetch` request with the `'force-cache'` option is called during rendering, Next.js checks the Data Cache for a cached response.
* If a cached response is found, it's returned immediately and [memoized](#request-memoization).
* If a cached response is not found, the request is made to the data source, the result is stored in the Data Cache, and memoized.
* For uncached data (e.g. no `cache` option defined or using `{ cache: 'no-store' }`), the result is always fetched from the data source, and memoized.
* Whether the data is cached or uncached, the requests are always memoized to avoid making duplicate requests for the same data during a React render pass.

> **Differences between the Data Cache and Request Memoization**
>
> While both caching mechanisms help improve performance by re-using cached data, the Data Cache is persistent across incoming requests and deployments, whereas memoization only lasts the lifetime of a request.

### Duration

The Data Cache is persistent across incoming requests and deployments unless you revalidate or opt-out.

### Revalidating

Cached data can be revalidated in two ways, with:

* **Time-based Revalidation**: Revalidate data after a certain amount of time has passed and a new request is made. This is useful for data that changes infrequently and freshness is not as critical.
* **On-demand Revalidation:** Revalidate data based on an event (e.g. form submission). On-demand revalidation can use a tag-based or path-based approach to revalidate groups of data at once. This is useful when you want to ensure the latest data is shown as soon as possible (e.g. when content from your headless CMS is updated).

#### Time-based Revalidation

To revalidate data at a timed interval, you can use the `next.revalidate` option of `fetch` to set the cache lifetime of a resource (in seconds).

```js
// Revalidate at most every hour
fetch('https://...', { next: { revalidate: 3600 } })
```

Alternatively, you can use [Route Segment Config options](#segment-config-options) to configure all `fetch` requests in a segment or for cases where you're not able to use `fetch`.

**How Time-based Revalidation Works**

![Diagram showing how time-based revalidation works, after the revalidation period, stale data is returned for the first request, then data is revalidated.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/time-based-revalidation.png)

* The first time a fetch request with `revalidate` is called, the data will be fetched from the external data source and stored in the Data Cache.
* Any requests that are called within the specified timeframe (e.g. 60-seconds) will return the cached data.
* After the timeframe, the next request will still return the cached (now stale) data.
  * Next.js will trigger a revalidation of the data in the background.
  * Once the data is fetched successfully, Next.js will update the Data Cache with the fresh data.
  * If the background revalidation fails, the previous data will be kept unaltered.

This is similar to [**stale-while-revalidate**](https://web.dev/articles/stale-while-revalidate) behavior.

#### On-demand Revalidation

Data can be revalidated on-demand by path ([`revalidatePath`](#revalidatepath)) or by cache tag ([`revalidateTag`](#fetch-optionsnexttags-and-revalidatetag)).

**How On-Demand Revalidation Works**

![Diagram showing how on-demand revalidation works, the Data Cache is updated with fresh data after a revalidation request.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/on-demand-revalidation.png)

* The first time a `fetch` request is called, the data will be fetched from the external data source and stored in the Data Cache.
* When an on-demand revalidation is triggered, the appropriate cache entries will be purged from the cache.
  * This is different from time-based revalidation, which keeps the stale data in the cache until the fresh data is fetched.
* The next time a request is made, it will be a cache `MISS` again, and the data will be fetched from the external data source and stored in the Data Cache.

### Opting out

If you do *not* want to cache the response from `fetch`, you can do the following:

```js
let data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog', { cache: 'no-store' })
```

## Full Route Cache

> **Related terms**:
>
> You may see the terms **Automatic Static Optimization**, **Static Site Generation**, or **Static Rendering** being used interchangeably to refer to the process of rendering and caching routes of your application at build time.

Next.js automatically renders and caches routes at build time. This is an optimization that allows you to serve the cached route instead of rendering on the server for every request, resulting in faster page loads.

To understand how the Full Route Cache works, it's helpful to look at how React handles rendering, and how Next.js caches the result:

### 1. React Rendering on the Server

On the server, Next.js uses React's APIs to orchestrate rendering. The rendering work is split into chunks: by individual routes segments and Suspense boundaries.

Each chunk is rendered in two steps:

1. React renders Server Components into a special data format, optimized for streaming, called the **React Server Component Payload**.
2. Next.js uses the React Server Component Payload and Client Component JavaScript instructions to render **HTML** on the server.

This means we don't have to wait for everything to render before caching the work or sending a response. Instead, we can stream a response as work is completed.

> **What is the React Server Component Payload?**
>
> The React Server Component Payload is a compact binary representation of the rendered React Server Components tree. It's used by React on the client to update the browser's DOM. The React Server Component Payload contains:
>
> * The rendered result of Server Components
> * Placeholders for where Client Components should be rendered and references to their JavaScript files
> * Any props passed from a Server Component to a Client Component
>
> To learn more, see the [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) documentation.

### 2. Next.js Caching on the Server (Full Route Cache)

![Default behavior of the Full Route Cache, showing how the React Server Component Payload and HTML are cached on the server for statically rendered routes.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/full-route-cache.png)

The default behavior of Next.js is to cache the rendered result (React Server Component Payload and HTML) of a route on the server. This applies to statically rendered routes at build time, or during revalidation.

### 3. React Hydration and Reconciliation on the Client

At request time, on the client:

1. The HTML is used to immediately show a fast non-interactive initial preview of the Client and Server Components.
2. The React Server Components Payload is used to reconcile the Client and rendered Server Component trees, and update the DOM.
3. The JavaScript instructions are used to [hydrate](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/client/hydrateRoot) Client Components and make the application interactive.

### 4. Next.js Caching on the Client (Router Cache)

The React Server Component Payload is stored in the client-side [Router Cache](#client-side-router-cache) - a separate in-memory cache, split by individual route segment. This Router Cache is used to improve the navigation experience by storing previously visited routes and prefetching future routes.

### 5. Subsequent Navigations

On subsequent navigations or during prefetching, Next.js will check if the React Server Components Payload is stored in the Router Cache. If so, it will skip sending a new request to the server.

If the route segments are not in the cache, Next.js will fetch the React Server Components Payload from the server, and populate the Router Cache on the client.

### Static and Dynamic Rendering

Whether a route is cached or not at build time depends on whether it's statically or dynamically rendered. Static routes are cached by default, whereas dynamic routes are rendered at request time, and not cached.

This diagram shows the difference between statically and dynamically rendered routes, with cached and uncached data:

![How static and dynamic rendering affects the Full Route Cache. Static routes are cached at build time or after data revalidation, whereas dynamic routes are never cached](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/static-and-dynamic-routes.png)

Learn more about [static and dynamic rendering](#rendering-strategies).

### Duration

By default, the Full Route Cache is persistent. This means that the render output is cached across user requests.

### Invalidation

There are two ways you can invalidate the Full Route Cache:

* **[Revalidating Data](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#revalidating)**: Revalidating the [Data Cache](#data-cache), will in turn invalidate the Router Cache by re-rendering components on the server and caching the new render output.
* **Redeploying**: Unlike the Data Cache, which persists across deployments, the Full Route Cache is cleared on new deployments.

### Opting out

You can opt out of the Full Route Cache, or in other words, dynamically render components for every incoming request, by:

* **Using a [Dynamic API](#dynamic-apis)**: This will opt the route out from the Full Route Cache and dynamically render it at request time. The Data Cache can still be used.
* **Using the `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` or `revalidate = 0` route segment config options**: This will skip the Full Route Cache and the Data Cache. Meaning components will be rendered and data fetched on every incoming request to the server. The Router Cache will still apply as it's a client-side cache.
* **Opting out of the [Data Cache](#data-cache)**: If a route has a `fetch` request that is not cached, this will opt the route out of the Full Route Cache. The data for the specific `fetch` request will be fetched for every incoming request. Other `fetch` requests that explicitly enable caching will still be cached in the Data Cache. This allows for a hybrid of cached and uncached data.

## Client-side Router Cache

Next.js has an in-memory client-side router cache that stores the RSC payload of route segments, split by layouts, loading states, and pages.

When a user navigates between routes, Next.js caches the visited route segments and [prefetches](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) the routes the user is likely to navigate to. This results in instant back/forward navigation, no full-page reload between navigations, and preservation of browser state and React state in shared layouts.

With the Router Cache:

* **Layouts** are cached and reused on navigation ([partial rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions)).
* **Loading states** are cached and reused on navigation for [instant navigation](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md#instant-loading-states).
* **Pages** are not cached by default, but are reused during browser backward and forward navigation. You can enable caching for page segments by using the experimental [`staleTimes`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md) config option.

> **Good to know:** This cache specifically applies to Next.js and Server Components, and is different to the browser's [bfcache](https://web.dev/bfcache/), though it has a similar result.

### Duration

The cache is stored in the browser's temporary memory. Two factors determine how long the router cache lasts:

* **Session**: The cache persists across navigation. However, it's cleared on page refresh.
* **Automatic Invalidation Period**: The cache of layouts and loading states is automatically invalidated after a specific time. The duration depends on how the resource was [prefetched](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md#prefetch), and if the resource was [statically generated](#static-rendering):
  * **Default Prefetching** (`prefetch={null}` or unspecified): not cached for dynamic pages, 5 minutes for static pages.
  * **Full Prefetching** (`prefetch={true}` or `router.prefetch`): 5 minutes for both static & dynamic pages.

While a page refresh will clear **all** cached segments, the automatic invalidation period only affects the individual segment from the time it was prefetched.

> **Good to know**: The experimental [`staleTimes`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md) config option can be used to adjust the automatic invalidation times mentioned above.

### Invalidation

There are two ways you can invalidate the Router Cache:

* In a **Server Action**:
  * Revalidating data on-demand by path with ([`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md)) or by cache tag with ([`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md))
  * Using [`cookies.set`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md#setting-a-cookie) or [`cookies.delete`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md#deleting-cookies) invalidates the Router Cache to prevent routes that use cookies from becoming stale (e.g. authentication).
* Calling [`router.refresh`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) will invalidate the Router Cache and make a new request to the server for the current route.

### Opting out

As of Next.js 15, page segments are opted out by default.

> **Good to know:** You can also opt out of [prefetching](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) by setting the `prefetch` prop of the `<Link>` component to `false`.

## Cache Interactions

When configuring the different caching mechanisms, it's important to understand how they interact with each other:

### Data Cache and Full Route Cache

* Revalidating or opting out of the Data Cache **will** invalidate the Full Route Cache, as the render output depends on data.
* Invalidating or opting out of the Full Route Cache **does not** affect the Data Cache. You can dynamically render a route that has both cached and uncached data. This is useful when most of your page uses cached data, but you have a few components that rely on data that needs to be fetched at request time. You can dynamically render without worrying about the performance impact of re-fetching all the data.

### Data Cache and Client-side Router cache

* To immediately invalidate the Data Cache and Router cache, you can use [`revalidatePath`](#revalidatepath) or [`revalidateTag`](#fetch-optionsnexttags-and-revalidatetag) in a [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).
* Revalidating the Data Cache in a [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) **will not** immediately invalidate the Router Cache as the Route Handler isn't tied to a specific route. This means Router Cache will continue to serve the previous payload until a hard refresh, or the automatic invalidation period has elapsed.

## APIs

The following table provides an overview of how different Next.js APIs affect caching:

| API                                                                     | Router Cache               | Full Route Cache      | Data Cache            | React Cache          |

### `<Link>`

By default, the `<Link>` component automatically prefetches routes from the Full Route Cache and adds the React Server Component Payload to the Router Cache.

To disable prefetching, you can set the `prefetch` prop to `false`. But this will not skip the cache permanently, the route segment will still be cached client-side when the user visits the route.

Learn more about the [`<Link>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md).

### `router.prefetch`

The `prefetch` option of the `useRouter` hook can be used to manually prefetch a route. This adds the React Server Component Payload to the Router Cache.

See the [`useRouter` hook](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) API reference.

### `router.refresh`

The `refresh` option of the `useRouter` hook can be used to manually refresh a route. This completely clears the Router Cache, and makes a new request to the server for the current route. `refresh` does not affect the Data or Full Route Cache.

The rendered result will be reconciled on the client while preserving React state and browser state.

See the [`useRouter` hook](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) API reference.

### `fetch`

Data returned from `fetch` is *not* automatically cached in the Data Cache.

By default, when no `cache` or `next.revalidate` options are provided:

* [Dynamic rendering](#dynamic-rendering): Fetch runs on every request and always returns fresh data.
* [Static rendering](#static-rendering): Fetched data is stored in the [Data Cache](#data-cache), and the rendered output in the [Full Route Cache](#full-route-cache). Next.js serves this cached result until the path is revalidated.

See the [`fetch` API Reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) for more options.

### `fetch options.cache`

You can opt individual `fetch` into caching by setting the `cache` option to `force-cache`:

```jsx
// Opt into caching
fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'force-cache' })
```

See the [`fetch` API Reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) for more options.

### `fetch options.next.revalidate`

You can use the `next.revalidate` option of `fetch` to set the revalidation period (in seconds) of an individual `fetch` request. This will revalidate the Data Cache, which in turn will revalidate the Full Route Cache. Fresh data will be fetched, and components will be re-rendered on the server.

```jsx
// Revalidate at most after 1 hour
fetch(`https://...`, { next: { revalidate: 3600 } })
```

See the [`fetch` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) for more options.

### `fetch options.next.tags` and `revalidateTag`

Next.js has a cache tagging system for fine-grained data caching and revalidation.

1. When using `fetch` or [`unstable_cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_cache.md), you have the option to tag cache entries with one or more tags.
2. Then, you can call `revalidateTag` to purge the cache entries associated with that tag.

For example, you can set a tag when fetching data:

```jsx
// Cache data with a tag
fetch(`https://...`, { next: { tags: ['a', 'b', 'c'] } })
```

Then, call `revalidateTag` with a tag to purge the cache entry:

```jsx
// Revalidate entries with a specific tag
revalidateTag('a')
```

There are two places you can use `revalidateTag`, depending on what you're trying to achieve:

1. [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) - to revalidate data in response of a third party event (e.g. webhook). This will not invalidate the Router Cache immediately as the Router Handler isn't tied to a specific route.
2. [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) - to revalidate data after a user action (e.g. form submission). This will invalidate the Router Cache for the associated route.

### `revalidatePath`

`revalidatePath` allows you manually revalidate data **and** re-render the route segments below a specific path in a single operation. Calling the `revalidatePath` method revalidates the Data Cache, which in turn invalidates the Full Route Cache.

```jsx
revalidatePath('/')
```

There are two places you can use `revalidatePath`, depending on what you're trying to achieve:

1. [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) - to revalidate data in response to a third party event (e.g. webhook).
2. [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) - to revalidate data after a user interaction (e.g. form submission, clicking a button).

See the [`revalidatePath` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) for more information.

> **`revalidatePath`** vs. **`router.refresh`**:
>
> Calling `router.refresh` will clear the Router cache, and re-render route segments on the server without invalidating the Data Cache or the Full Route Cache.
>
> The difference is that `revalidatePath` purges the Data Cache and Full Route Cache, whereas `router.refresh()` does not change the Data Cache and Full Route Cache, as it is a client-side API.

### Dynamic APIs

Dynamic APIs like `cookies` and `headers`, and the `searchParams` prop in Pages depend on runtime incoming request information. Using them will opt a route out of the Full Route Cache, in other words, the route will be dynamically rendered.

#### `cookies`

Using `cookies.set` or `cookies.delete` in a Server Action invalidates the Router Cache to prevent routes that use cookies from becoming stale (e.g. to reflect authentication changes).

See the [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) API reference.

### Segment Config Options

The Route Segment Config options can be used to override the route segment defaults or when you're not able to use the `fetch` API (e.g. database client or 3rd party libraries).

The following Route Segment Config options will opt out of the Full Route Cache:

* `const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'`

This config option will opt all fetches out of the Data Cache (i.e. `no-store`):

* `const fetchCache = 'default-no-store'`

See the [`fetchCache`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#fetchcache) to see more advanced options.

See the [Route Segment Config](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) documentation for more options.

### `generateStaticParams`

For [dynamic segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) (e.g. `app/blog/[slug]/page.js`), paths provided by `generateStaticParams` are cached in the Full Route Cache at build time. At request time, Next.js will also cache paths that weren't known at build time the first time they're visited.

To statically render all paths at build time, supply the full list of paths to `generateStaticParams`:

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js"
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

To statically render a subset of paths at build time, and the rest the first time they're visited at runtime, return a partial list of paths:

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js"
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  // Render the first 10 posts at build time
  return posts.slice(0, 10).map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

To statically render all paths the first time they're visited, return an empty array (no paths will be rendered at build time) or utilize [`export const dynamic = 'force-static'`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic):

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js"
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return []
}
```

> **Good to know:** You must return an array from `generateStaticParams`, even if it's empty. Otherwise, the route will be dynamically rendered.

```jsx filename="app/changelog/[slug]/page.js"
export const dynamic = 'force-static'
```

To disable caching at request time, add the `export const dynamicParams = false` option in a route segment. When this config option is used, only paths provided by `generateStaticParams` will be served, and other routes will 404 or match (in the case of [catch-all routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md#catch-all-segments)).

### React `cache` function

The React `cache` function allows you to memoize the return value of a function, allowing you to call the same function multiple times while only executing it once.

`fetch` requests using the `GET` or `HEAD` methods are automatically memoized, so you do not need to wrap it in React `cache`. However, for other `fetch` methods, or when using data fetching libraries (such as some database, CMS, or GraphQL clients) that don't inherently memoize requests, you can use `cache` to manually memoize data requests.

```ts filename="utils/get-item.ts" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import db from '@/lib/db'

export const getItem = cache(async (id: string) => {
  const item = await db.item.findUnique({ id })
  return item
})
```

```js filename="utils/get-item.js" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import db from '@/lib/db'

export const getItem = cache(async (id) => {
  const item = await db.item.findUnique({ id })
  return item
})
```

# How to configure Continuous Integration (CI) build caching
@doc-version: 16.0.4


To improve build performance, Next.js saves a cache to `.next/cache` that is shared between builds.

To take advantage of this cache in Continuous Integration (CI) environments, your CI workflow will need to be configured to correctly persist the cache between builds.

> If your CI is not configured to persist `.next/cache` between builds, you may see a [No Cache Detected](/docs/messages/no-cache.md) error.

Here are some example cache configurations for common CI providers:

## Vercel

Next.js caching is automatically configured for you. There's no action required on your part. If you are using Turborepo on Vercel, [learn more here](https://vercel.com/docs/monorepos/turborepo).

## CircleCI

Edit your `save_cache` step in `.circleci/config.yml` to include `.next/cache`:

```yaml
steps:
  - save_cache:
      key: dependency-cache-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
      paths:
        - ./node_modules
        - ./.next/cache
```

If you do not have a `save_cache` key, please follow CircleCI's [documentation on setting up build caching](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/caching/).

## Travis CI

Add or merge the following into your `.travis.yml`:

```yaml
cache:
  directories:
    - $HOME/.cache/yarn
    - node_modules
    - .next/cache
```

## GitLab CI

Add or merge the following into your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:

```yaml
cache:
  key: ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
  paths:
    - node_modules/
    - .next/cache/
```

## Netlify CI

Use [Netlify Plugins](https://www.netlify.com/products/build/plugins/) with [`@netlify/plugin-nextjs`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@netlify/plugin-nextjs).

## AWS CodeBuild

Add (or merge in) the following to your `buildspec.yml`:

```yaml
cache:
  paths:
    - 'node_modules/**/*' # Cache `node_modules` for faster `yarn` or `npm i`
    - '.next/cache/**/*' # Cache Next.js for faster application rebuilds
```

## GitHub Actions

Using GitHub's [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache), add the following step in your workflow file:

```yaml
uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
  # See here for caching with `yarn`, `bun` or other package managers https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md or you can leverage caching with actions/setup-node https://github.com/actions/setup-node
  path: |
    ~/.npm
    ${{ github.workspace }}/.next/cache
  # Generate a new cache whenever packages or source files change.
  key: ${{ runner.os }}-nextjs-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}-${{ hashFiles('**/*.js', '**/*.jsx', '**/*.ts', '**/*.tsx') }}
  # If source files changed but packages didn't, rebuild from a prior cache.
  restore-keys: |
    ${{ runner.os }}-nextjs-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}-
```

## Bitbucket Pipelines

Add or merge the following into your `bitbucket-pipelines.yml` at the top level (same level as `pipelines`):

```yaml
definitions:
  caches:
    nextcache: .next/cache
```

Then reference it in the `caches` section of your pipeline's `step`:

```yaml
- step:
    name: your_step_name
    caches:
      - node
      - nextcache
```

## Heroku

Using Heroku's [custom cache](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs-support#custom-caching), add a `cacheDirectories` array in your top-level package.json:

```javascript
"cacheDirectories": [".next/cache"]
```

## Azure Pipelines

Using Azure Pipelines' [Cache task](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/cache), add the following task to your pipeline yaml file somewhere prior to the task that executes `next build`:

```yaml
- task: Cache@2
  displayName: 'Cache .next/cache'
  inputs:
    key: next | $(Agent.OS) | yarn.lock
    path: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/.next/cache'
```

## Jenkins (Pipeline)

Using Jenkins' [Job Cacher](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/jobcacher/) plugin, add the following build step to your `Jenkinsfile` where you would normally run `next build` or `npm install`:

```yaml
stage("Restore npm packages") {
    steps {
        // Writes lock-file to cache based on the GIT_COMMIT hash
        writeFile file: "next-lock.cache", text: "$GIT_COMMIT"

        cache(caches: [
            arbitraryFileCache(
                path: "node_modules",
                includes: "**/*",
                cacheValidityDecidingFile: "package-lock.json"
            )
        ]) {
            sh "npm install"
        }
    }
}
stage("Build") {
    steps {
        // Writes lock-file to cache based on the GIT_COMMIT hash
        writeFile file: "next-lock.cache", text: "$GIT_COMMIT"

        cache(caches: [
            arbitraryFileCache(
                path: ".next/cache",
                includes: "**/*",
                cacheValidityDecidingFile: "next-lock.cache"
            )
        ]) {
            // aka `next build`
            sh "npm run build"
        }
    }
}
```

# Client-side Rendering (CSR)


In Client-Side Rendering (CSR) with React, the browser downloads a minimal HTML page and the JavaScript needed for the page. The JavaScript is then used to update the DOM and render the page. When the application is first loaded, the user may notice a slight delay before they can see the full page, this is because the page isn't fully rendered until all the JavaScript is downloaded, parsed, and executed.

After the page has been loaded for the first time, navigating to other pages on the same website is typically faster, as only necessary data needs to be fetched, and JavaScript can re-render parts of the page without requiring a full page refresh.

In Next.js, there are two ways you can implement client-side rendering:

1. Using React's `useEffect()` hook inside your pages instead of the server-side rendering methods ([`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) and [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md)).
2. Using a data fetching library like [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app/) or [TanStack Query](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/) to fetch data on the client (recommended).

Here's an example of using `useEffect()` inside a Next.js page:

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'

export function Page() {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null)

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`)
      }
      const result = await response.json()
      setData(result)
    }

    fetchData().catch((e) => {
      // handle the error as needed
      console.error('An error occurred while fetching the data: ', e)
    })
  }, [])

  return <p>{data ? `Your data: ${data}` : 'Loading...'}</p>
}
```

In the example above, the component starts by rendering `Loading...`. Then, once the data is fetched, it re-renders and displays the data.

Although fetching data in a `useEffect` is a pattern you may see in older React Applications, we recommend using a data-fetching library for better performance, caching, optimistic updates, and more. Here's a minimum example using [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app/) to fetch data on the client:

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
import useSWR from 'swr'

export function Page() {
  const { data, error, isLoading } = useSWR(
    'https://api.example.com/data',
    fetcher
  )

  if (error) return <p>Failed to load.</p>
  if (isLoading) return <p>Loading...</p>

  return <p>Your Data: {data}</p>
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> Keep in mind that CSR can impact SEO. Some search engine crawlers might not execute JavaScript and therefore only see the initial empty or loading state of your application. It can also lead to performance issues for users with slower internet connections or devices, as they need to wait for all the JavaScript to load and run before they can see the full page. Next.js promotes a hybrid approach that allows you to use a combination of [server-side rendering](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/server-side-rendering.md), [static site generation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/static-site-generation.md), and client-side rendering, **depending on the needs of each page** in your application. In the App Router, you can also use [Loading UI with Suspense](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) to show a loading indicator while the page is being rendered.

# Client-side Fetching


Client-side data fetching is useful when your page doesn't require SEO indexing, when you don't need to pre-render your data, or when the content of your pages needs to update frequently. Unlike the server-side rendering APIs, you can use client-side data fetching at the component level.

If done at the page level, the data is fetched at runtime, and the content of the page is updated as the data changes. When used at the component level, the data is fetched at the time of the component mount, and the content of the component is updated as the data changes.

It's important to note that using client-side data fetching can affect the performance of your application and the load speed of your pages. This is because the data fetching is done at the time of the component or pages mount, and the data is not cached.

## Client-side data fetching with useEffect

The following example shows how you can fetch data on the client side using the useEffect hook.

```jsx
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'

function Profile() {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null)
  const [isLoading, setLoading] = useState(true)

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/profile-data')
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((data) => {
        setData(data)
        setLoading(false)
      })
  }, [])

  if (isLoading) return <p>Loading...</p>
  if (!data) return <p>No profile data</p>

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data.name}</h1>
      <p>{data.bio}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Client-side data fetching with SWR

The team behind Next.js has created a React Hook library for data fetching called [**SWR**](https://swr.vercel.app/). It is **highly recommended** if you are fetching data on the client-side. It handles caching, revalidation, focus tracking, refetching on intervals, and more.

Using the same example as above, we can now use SWR to fetch the profile data. SWR will automatically cache the data for us and will revalidate the data if it becomes stale.

For more information on using SWR, check out the [SWR docs](https://swr.vercel.app/docs/getting-started).

```jsx
import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (...args) => fetch(...args).then((res) => res.json())

function Profile() {
  const { data, error } = useSWR('/api/profile-data', fetcher)

  if (error) return <div>Failed to load</div>
  if (!data) return <div>Loading...</div>

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data.name}</h1>
      <p>{data.bio}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

# Codemods
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Codemods are transformations that run on your codebase programmatically. This allows a large number of changes to be programmatically applied without having to manually go through every file.

Next.js provides Codemod transformations to help upgrade your Next.js codebase when an API is updated or deprecated.

## Usage

In your terminal, navigate (`cd`) into your project's folder, then run:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod <transform> <path>
```

Replacing `<transform>` and `<path>` with appropriate values.

* `transform` - name of transform
* `path` - files or directory to transform
* `--dry` Do a dry-run, no code will be edited
* `--print` Prints the changed output for comparison

## Codemods

### 16.0

#### Remove `experimental_ppr` Route Segment Config from App Router pages and layouts

##### `remove-experimental-ppr`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest remove-experimental-ppr .
```

This codemod removes the `experimental_ppr` Route Segment Config from App Router pages and layouts.

```diff filename="app/page.tsx"
- export const experimental_ppr = true;
```

#### Remove `unstable_` prefix from stabilized API

##### `remove-unstable-prefix`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest remove-unstable-prefix .
```

This codemod removes the `unstable_` prefix from stabilized API.

For example:

```ts
import { unstable_cacheTag as cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

cacheTag()
```

Transforms into:

```ts
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

cacheTag()
```

#### Migrate from deprecated `middleware` convention to `proxy`

##### `middleware-to-proxy`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest middleware-to-proxy .
```

This codemod migrates projects from using the deprecated `middleware` convention to using the `proxy` convention. It:

* Renames `middleware.<extension>` to `proxy.<extension>` (e.g. `middleware.ts` to `proxy.ts`)
* Renames named export `middleware` to `proxy`
* Renames Next.js config property `experimental.middlewarePrefetch` to `experimental.proxyPrefetch`
* Renames Next.js config property `experimental.middlewareClientMaxBodySize` to `experimental.proxyClientMaxBodySize`
* Renames Next.js config property `experimental.externalMiddlewareRewritesResolve` to `experimental.externalProxyRewritesResolve`
* Renames Next.js config property `skipMiddlewareUrlNormalize` to `skipProxyUrlNormalize`

For example:

```ts filename="middleware.ts"
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function middleware() {
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

Transforms into:

```ts filename="proxy.ts"
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy() {
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

#### Migrate from `next lint` to ESLint CLI

##### `next-lint-to-eslint-cli`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli .
```

This codemod migrates projects from using `next lint` to using the ESLint CLI with your local ESLint config. It:

* Creates an `eslint.config.mjs` file with Next.js recommended configurations
* Updates `package.json` scripts to use `eslint .` instead of `next lint`
* Adds necessary ESLint dependencies to `package.json`
* Preserves existing ESLint configurations when found

For example:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "next lint"
  }
}
```

Becomes:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint ."
  }
}
```

And creates:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { dirname } from 'path'
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'
import { FlatCompat } from '@eslint/eslintrc'

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)
const __dirname = dirname(__filename)

const compat = new FlatCompat({
  baseDirectory: __dirname,
})

const eslintConfig = [
  ...compat.extends('next/core-web-vitals', 'next/typescript'),
  {
    ignores: [
      'node_modules/**',
      '.next/**',
      'out/**',
      'build/**',
      'next-env.d.ts',
    ],
  },
]

export default eslintConfig
```

### 15.0

#### Transform App Router Route Segment Config `runtime` value from `experimental-edge` to `edge`

##### `app-dir-runtime-config-experimental-edge`

> **Note**: This codemod is App Router specific.

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest app-dir-runtime-config-experimental-edge .
```

This codemod transforms [Route Segment Config `runtime`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config#runtime) value `experimental-edge` to `edge`.

For example:

```ts
export const runtime = 'experimental-edge'
```

Transforms into:

```ts
export const runtime = 'edge'
```

#### Migrate to async Dynamic APIs

APIs that opted into dynamic rendering that previously supported synchronous access are now asynchronous. You can read more about this breaking change in the [upgrade guide](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-15.md).

##### `next-async-request-api`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest next-async-request-api .
```

This codemod will transform dynamic APIs (`cookies()`, `headers()` and `draftMode()` from `next/headers`) that are now asynchronous to be properly awaited or wrapped with `React.use()` if applicable.
When an automatic migration isn't possible, the codemod will either add a typecast (if a TypeScript file) or a comment to inform the user that it needs to be manually reviewed & updated.

For example:

```tsx
import { cookies, headers } from 'next/headers'
const token = cookies().get('token')

function useToken() {
  const token = cookies().get('token')
  return token
}

export default function Page() {
  const name = cookies().get('name')
}

function getHeader() {
  return headers().get('x-foo')
}
```

Transforms into:

```tsx
import { use } from 'react'
import {
  cookies,
  headers,
  type UnsafeUnwrappedCookies,
  type UnsafeUnwrappedHeaders,
} from 'next/headers'
const token = (cookies() as unknown as UnsafeUnwrappedCookies).get('token')

function useToken() {
  const token = use(cookies()).get('token')
  return token
}

export default async function Page() {
  const name = (await cookies()).get('name')
}

function getHeader() {
  return (headers() as unknown as UnsafeUnwrappedHeaders).get('x-foo')
}
```

When we detect property access on the `params` or `searchParams` props in the page / route entries (`page.js`, `layout.js`, `route.js`, or `default.js`) or the `generateMetadata` / `generateViewport` APIs,
it will attempt to transform the callsite from a sync to an async function, and await the property access. If it can't be made async (such as with a Client Component), it will use `React.use` to unwrap the promise .

For example:

```tsx
// page.tsx
export default function Page({
  params,
  searchParams,
}: {
  params: { slug: string }
  searchParams: { [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }
}) {
  const { value } = searchParams
  if (value === 'foo') {
    // ...
  }
}

export function generateMetadata({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
  const { slug } = params
  return {
    title: `My Page - ${slug}`,
  }
}
```

Transforms into:

```tsx
// page.tsx
export default async function Page(props: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const searchParams = await props.searchParams
  const { value } = searchParams
  if (value === 'foo') {
    // ...
  }
}

export async function generateMetadata(props: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const params = await props.params
  const { slug } = params
  return {
    title: `My Page - ${slug}`,
  }
}
```

> **Good to know:** When this codemod identifies a spot that might require manual intervention, but we aren't able to determine the exact fix, it will add a comment or typecast to the code to inform the user that it needs to be manually updated. These comments are prefixed with **@next/codemod**, and typecasts are prefixed with `UnsafeUnwrapped`.
> Your build will error until these comments are explicitly removed. [Read more](/docs/messages/sync-dynamic-apis.md).

#### Replace `geo` and `ip` properties of `NextRequest` with `@vercel/functions`

##### `next-request-geo-ip`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest next-request-geo-ip .
```

This codemod installs `@vercel/functions` and transforms `geo` and `ip` properties of `NextRequest` with corresponding `@vercel/functions` features.

For example:

```ts
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export function GET(req: NextRequest) {
  const { geo, ip } = req
}
```

Transforms into:

```ts
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { geolocation, ipAddress } from '@vercel/functions'

export function GET(req: NextRequest) {
  const geo = geolocation(req)
  const ip = ipAddress(req)
}
```

### 14.0

#### Migrate `ImageResponse` imports

##### `next-og-import`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest next-og-import .
```

This codemod moves transforms imports from `next/server` to `next/og` for usage of [Dynamic OG Image Generation](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md#generated-open-graph-images).

For example:

```js
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/server'
```

Transforms into:

```js
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
```

#### Use `viewport` export

##### `metadata-to-viewport-export`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest metadata-to-viewport-export .
```

This codemod migrates certain viewport metadata to `viewport` export.

For example:

```js
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My App',
  themeColor: 'dark',
  viewport: {
    width: 1,
  },
}
```

Transforms into:

```js
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My App',
}

export const viewport = {
  width: 1,
  themeColor: 'dark',
}
```

### 13.2

#### Use Built-in Font

##### `built-in-next-font`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest built-in-next-font .
```

This codemod uninstalls the `@next/font` package and transforms `@next/font` imports into the built-in `next/font`.

For example:

```js
import { Inter } from '@next/font/google'
```

Transforms into:

```js
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'
```

### 13.0

#### Rename Next Image Imports

##### `next-image-to-legacy-image`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest next-image-to-legacy-image .
```

Safely renames `next/image` imports in existing Next.js 10, 11, or 12 applications to `next/legacy/image` in Next.js 13. Also renames `next/future/image` to `next/image`.

For example:

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
import Image1 from 'next/image'
import Image2 from 'next/future/image'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Image1 src="/test.jpg" width="200" height="300" />
      <Image2 src="/test.png" width="500" height="400" />
    </div>
  )
}
```

Transforms into:

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"
// 'next/image' becomes 'next/legacy/image'
import Image1 from 'next/legacy/image'
// 'next/future/image' becomes 'next/image'
import Image2 from 'next/image'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Image1 src="/test.jpg" width="200" height="300" />
      <Image2 src="/test.png" width="500" height="400" />
    </div>
  )
}
```

#### Migrate to the New Image Component

##### `next-image-experimental`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest next-image-experimental .
```

Dangerously migrates from `next/legacy/image` to the new `next/image` by adding inline styles and removing unused props.

* Removes `layout` prop and adds `style`.
* Removes `objectFit` prop and adds `style`.
* Removes `objectPosition` prop and adds `style`.
* Removes `lazyBoundary` prop.
* Removes `lazyRoot` prop.

#### Remove `<a>` Tags From Link Components

##### `new-link`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@latest new-link .
```

Remove `<a>` tags inside [Link Components](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md).

For example:

```jsx
<Link href="/about">
  <a>About</a>
</Link>
// transforms into
<Link href="/about">
  About
</Link>

<Link href="/about">
  <a onClick={() => console.log('clicked')}>About</a>
</Link>
// transforms into
<Link href="/about" onClick={() => console.log('clicked')}>
  About
</Link>
```

### 11

#### Migrate from CRA

##### `cra-to-next`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod cra-to-next
```

Migrates a Create React App project to Next.js; creating a Pages Router and necessary config to match behavior. Client-side only rendering is leveraged initially to prevent breaking compatibility due to `window` usage during SSR and can be enabled seamlessly to allow the gradual adoption of Next.js specific features.

Please share any feedback related to this transform [in this discussion](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/25858).

### 10

#### Add React imports

##### `add-missing-react-import`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod add-missing-react-import
```

Transforms files that do not import `React` to include the import in order for the new [React JSX transform](https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/09/22/introducing-the-new-jsx-transform.html) to work.

For example:

```jsx filename="my-component.js"
export default class Home extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div>Hello World</div>
  }
}
```

Transforms into:

```jsx filename="my-component.js"
import React from 'react'
export default class Home extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div>Hello World</div>
  }
}
```

### 9

#### Transform Anonymous Components into Named Components

##### `name-default-component`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod name-default-component
```

**Versions 9 and above.**

Transforms anonymous components into named components to make sure they work with [Fast Refresh](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-9-4#fast-refresh).

For example:

```jsx filename="my-component.js"
export default function () {
  return <div>Hello World</div>
}
```

Transforms into:

```jsx filename="my-component.js"
export default function MyComponent() {
  return <div>Hello World</div>
}
```

The component will have a camel-cased name based on the name of the file, and it also works with arrow functions.

### 8

> **Note**: Built-in AMP support and this codemod have been removed in Next.js 16.

#### Transform AMP HOC into page config

##### `withamp-to-config`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod withamp-to-config
```

Transforms the `withAmp` HOC into Next.js 9 page configuration.

For example:

```js
// Before
import { withAmp } from 'next/amp'

function Home() {
  return <h1>My AMP Page</h1>
}

export default withAmp(Home)
```

```js
// After
export default function Home() {
  return <h1>My AMP Page</h1>
}

export const config = {
  amp: true,
}
```

### 6

#### Use `withRouter`

##### `url-to-withrouter`

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod url-to-withrouter
```

Transforms the deprecated automatically injected `url` property on top level pages to using `withRouter` and the `router` property it injects. Read more here: [https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/url-deprecated](/docs/messages/url-deprecated.md)

For example:

```js filename="From"
import React from 'react'
export default class extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const { pathname } = this.props.url
    return <div>Current pathname: {pathname}</div>
  }
}
```

```js filename="To"
import React from 'react'
import { withRouter } from 'next/router'
export default withRouter(
  class extends React.Component {
    render() {
      const { pathname } = this.props.router
      return <div>Current pathname: {pathname}</div>
    }
  }
)
```

This is one case. All the cases that are transformed (and tested) can be found in the [`__testfixtures__` directory](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-codemod/transforms/__testfixtures__/url-to-withrouter).

# compress
@doc-version: 16.0.4


By default, Next.js uses `gzip` to compress rendered content and static files when using `next start` or a custom server. This is an optimization for applications that do not have compression configured. If compression is *already* configured in your application via a custom server, Next.js will not add compression.

You can check if compression is enabled and which algorithm is used by looking at the [`Accept-Encoding`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding) (browser accepted options) and [`Content-Encoding`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Encoding) (currently used) headers in the response.

## Disabling compression

To disable **compression**, set the `compress` config option to `false`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compress: false,
}
```

We **do not recommend disabling compression** unless you have compression configured on your server, as compression reduces bandwidth usage and improves the performance of your application. For example, you're using [nginx](https://nginx.org/) and want to switch to `brotli`, set the `compress` option to `false` to allow nginx to handle compression.

# connection
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `connection()` function allows you to indicate rendering should wait for an incoming user request before continuing.

It's useful when a component doesn't use [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering), but you want it to be dynamically rendered at runtime and not statically rendered at build time. This usually occurs when you access external information that you intentionally want to change the result of a render, such as `Math.random()` or `new Date()`.

```ts filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  await connection()
  // Everything below will be excluded from prerendering
  const rand = Math.random()
  return <span>{rand}</span>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  await connection()
  // Everything below will be excluded from prerendering
  const rand = Math.random()
  return <span>{rand}</span>
}
```

## Reference

### Type

```jsx
function connection(): Promise<void>
```

### Parameters

* The function does not accept any parameters.

### Returns

* The function returns a `void` Promise. It is not meant to be consumed.

## Good to know

* `connection` replaces [`unstable_noStore`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_noStore.md) to better align with the future of Next.js.
* The function is only necessary when dynamic rendering is required and common Dynamic APIs are not used.

### Version History

| Version      | Changes                  |
| ------------ | ------------------------ |
| `v15.0.0`    | `connection` stabilized. |
| `v15.0.0-RC` | `connection` introduced. |

# How to set a Content Security Policy (CSP) for your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[Content Security Policy (CSP)](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) is important to guard your Next.js application against various security threats such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other code injection attacks.

By using CSP, developers can specify which origins are permissible for content sources, scripts, stylesheets, images, fonts, objects, media (audio, video), iframes, and more.

<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [Strict CSP](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-strict-csp)

</details>

## Nonces

A [nonce](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/nonce) is a unique, random string of characters created for a one-time use. It is used in conjunction with CSP to selectively allow certain inline scripts or styles to execute, bypassing strict CSP directives.

### Why use a nonce?

CSP can block both inline and external scripts to prevent attacks. A nonce lets you safely allow specific scripts to run—only if they include the matching nonce value.

If an attacker wanted to load a script into your page, they'd need to guess the nonce value. That's why the nonce must be unpredictable and unique for every request.

### Adding a nonce with Proxy

[Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) enables you to add headers and generate nonces before the page renders.

Every time a page is viewed, a fresh nonce should be generated. This means that you **must use [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) to add nonces**.

For example:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const nonce = Buffer.from(crypto.randomUUID()).toString('base64')
  const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic';
    style-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}';
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`
  // Replace newline characters and spaces
  const contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue = cspHeader
    .replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ')
    .trim()

  const requestHeaders = new Headers(request.headers)
  requestHeaders.set('x-nonce', nonce)

  requestHeaders.set(
    'Content-Security-Policy',
    contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue
  )

  const response = NextResponse.next({
    request: {
      headers: requestHeaders,
    },
  })
  response.headers.set(
    'Content-Security-Policy',
    contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue
  )

  return response
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request) {
  const nonce = Buffer.from(crypto.randomUUID()).toString('base64')
  const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic';
    style-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}';
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`
  // Replace newline characters and spaces
  const contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue = cspHeader
    .replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ')
    .trim()

  const requestHeaders = new Headers(request.headers)
  requestHeaders.set('x-nonce', nonce)
  requestHeaders.set(
    'Content-Security-Policy',
    contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue
  )

  const response = NextResponse.next({
    request: {
      headers: requestHeaders,
    },
  })
  response.headers.set(
    'Content-Security-Policy',
    contentSecurityPolicyHeaderValue
  )

  return response
}
```

By default, Proxy runs on all requests. You can filter Proxy to run on specific paths using a [`matcher`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#matcher).

We recommend ignoring matching prefetches (from `next/link`) and static assets that don't need the CSP header.

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
export const config = {
  matcher: [
    /*
     * Match all request paths except for the ones starting with:
     * - api (API routes)
     * - _next/static (static files)
     * - _next/image (image optimization files)
     * - favicon.ico (favicon file)
     */
    {
      source: '/((?!api|_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico).*)',
      missing: [
        { type: 'header', key: 'next-router-prefetch' },
        { type: 'header', key: 'purpose', value: 'prefetch' },
      ],
    },
  ],
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
export const config = {
  matcher: [
    /*
     * Match all request paths except for the ones starting with:
     * - api (API routes)
     * - _next/static (static files)
     * - _next/image (image optimization files)
     * - favicon.ico (favicon file)
     */
    {
      source: '/((?!api|_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico).*)',
      missing: [
        { type: 'header', key: 'next-router-prefetch' },
        { type: 'header', key: 'purpose', value: 'prefetch' },
      ],
    },
  ],
}
```

### How nonces work in Next.js

To use a nonce, your page must be **dynamically rendered**. This is because Next.js applies nonces during **server-side rendering**, based on the CSP header present in the request. Static pages are generated at build time, when no request or response headers exist—so no nonce can be injected.

Here’s how nonce support works in a dynamically rendered page:

1. **Proxy generates a nonce**: Your proxy creates a unique nonce for the request, adds it to your `Content-Security-Policy` header, and also sets it in a custom `x-nonce` header.
2. **Next.js extracts the nonce**: During rendering, Next.js parses the `Content-Security-Policy` header and extracts the nonce using the `'nonce-{value}'` pattern.
3. **Nonce is applied automatically**: Next.js attaches the nonce to:
   * Framework scripts (React, Next.js runtime)
   * Page-specific JavaScript bundles
   * Inline styles and scripts generated by Next.js
   * Any `<Script>` components using the `nonce` prop

Because of this automatic behavior, you don’t need to manually add a nonce to each tag.

### Forcing dynamic rendering

If you're using nonces, you may need to explicitly opt pages into dynamic rendering:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  // wait for an incoming request to render this page
  await connection()
  // Your page content
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  // wait for an incoming request to render this page
  await connection()
  // Your page content
}
```

### Reading the nonce

You can read the nonce from a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) using [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md):

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'
import Script from 'next/script'

export default async function Page() {
  const nonce = (await headers()).get('x-nonce')

  return (
    <Script
      src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js"
      strategy="afterInteractive"
      nonce={nonce}
    />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'
import Script from 'next/script'

export default async function Page() {
  const nonce = (await headers()).get('x-nonce')

  return (
    <Script
      src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js"
      strategy="afterInteractive"
      nonce={nonce}
    />
  )
}
```

## Static vs Dynamic Rendering with CSP

Using nonces has important implications for how your Next.js application renders:

### Dynamic Rendering Requirement

When you use nonces in your CSP, **all pages must be dynamically rendered**. This means:

* Pages will build successfully but may encounter runtime errors if not properly configured for dynamic rendering
* Each request generates a fresh page with a new nonce
* Static optimization and Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) are disabled
* Pages cannot be cached by CDNs without additional configuration
* **Partial Prerendering (PPR) is incompatible** with nonce-based CSP since static shell scripts won't have access to the nonce

### Performance Implications

The shift from static to dynamic rendering affects performance:

* **Slower initial page loads**: Pages must be generated on each request
* **Increased server load**: Every request requires server-side rendering
* **No CDN caching**: Dynamic pages cannot be cached at the edge by default
* **Higher hosting costs**: More server resources needed for dynamic rendering

### When to use nonces

Consider nonces when:

* You have strict security requirements that prohibit `'unsafe-inline'`
* Your application handles sensitive data
* You need to allow specific inline scripts while blocking others
* Compliance requirements mandate strict CSP

## Without Nonces

For applications that do not require nonces, you can set the CSP header directly in your [`next.config.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md) file:

```js filename="next.config.js"
const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline';
    style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`

module.exports = {
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/(.*)',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
            value: cspHeader.replace(/\n/g, ''),
          },
        ],
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

## Subresource Integrity (Experimental)

As an alternative to nonces, Next.js offers experimental support for hash-based CSP using Subresource Integrity (SRI). This approach allows you to maintain static generation while still having a strict CSP.

> **Good to know**: This feature is experimental and only available with webpack bundler in App Router applications.

### How SRI works

Instead of using nonces, SRI generates cryptographic hashes of your JavaScript files at build time. These hashes are added as `integrity` attributes to script tags, allowing browsers to verify that files haven't been modified during transit.

### Enabling SRI

Add the experimental SRI configuration to your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    sri: {
      algorithm: 'sha256', // or 'sha384' or 'sha512'
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### CSP configuration with SRI

When SRI is enabled, you can continue using your existing CSP policies. SRI works independently by adding `integrity` attributes to your assets:

> **Good to know**: For dynamic rendering scenarios, you can still generate nonces with proxy if needed, combining both SRI integrity attributes and nonce-based CSP approaches.

```js filename="next.config.js"
const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self';
    style-src 'self';
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`

module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    sri: {
      algorithm: 'sha256',
    },
  },
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/(.*)',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
            value: cspHeader.replace(/\n/g, ''),
          },
        ],
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Benefits of SRI over nonces

* **Static generation**: Pages can be statically generated and cached
* **CDN compatibility**: Static pages work with CDN caching
* **Better performance**: No server-side rendering required for each request
* **Build-time security**: Hashes are generated at build time, ensuring integrity

### Limitations of SRI

* **Experimental**: Feature may change or be removed
* **Webpack only**: Not available with Turbopack
* **App Router only**: Not supported in Pages Router
* **Build-time only**: Cannot handle dynamically generated scripts

## Development vs Production Considerations

CSP implementation differs between development and production environments:

### Development Environment

In development, you will need to enable `'unsafe-eval'` to support APIs that provide additional debugging information:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const nonce = Buffer.from(crypto.randomUUID()).toString('base64')
  const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

  const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic' ${isDev ? "'unsafe-eval'" : ''};
    style-src 'self' ${isDev ? "'unsafe-inline'" : `'nonce-${nonce}'`};
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`

  // Rest of proxy implementation
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
export function proxy(request) {
  const nonce = Buffer.from(crypto.randomUUID()).toString('base64')
  const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

  const cspHeader = `
    default-src 'self';
    script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic' ${isDev ? "'unsafe-eval'" : ''};
    style-src 'self' ${isDev ? "'unsafe-inline'" : `'nonce-${nonce}'`};
    img-src 'self' blob: data:;
    font-src 'self';
    object-src 'none';
    base-uri 'self';
    form-action 'self';
    frame-ancestors 'none';
    upgrade-insecure-requests;
`

  // Rest of proxy implementation
}
```

### Production Deployment

Common issues in production:

* **Nonce not applied**: Ensure your proxy runs on all necessary routes
* **Static assets blocked**: Verify your CSP allows Next.js static assets
* **Third-party scripts**: Add necessary domains to your CSP policy

## Troubleshooting

### Third-party Scripts

When using third-party scripts with CSP:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const nonce = (await headers()).get('x-nonce')

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" nonce={nonce} />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.jsx" switcher
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function RootLayout({ children }) {
  const nonce = (await headers()).get('x-nonce')

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" nonce={nonce} />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Update your CSP to allow third-party domains:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
const cspHeader = `
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic' https://www.googletagmanager.com;
  connect-src 'self' https://www.google-analytics.com;
  img-src 'self' data: https://www.google-analytics.com;
`
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
const cspHeader = `
  default-src 'self';
  script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}' 'strict-dynamic' https://www.googletagmanager.com;
  connect-src 'self' https://www.google-analytics.com;
  img-src 'self' data: https://www.google-analytics.com;
`
```

### Common CSP Violations

1. **Inline styles**: Use CSS-in-JS libraries that support nonces or move styles to external files
2. **Dynamic imports**: Ensure dynamic imports are allowed in your script-src policy
3. **WebAssembly**: Add `'wasm-unsafe-eval'` if using WebAssembly
4. **Service workers**: Add appropriate policies for service worker scripts

# Docs Contribution Guide
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Welcome to the Next.js Docs Contribution Guide! We're excited to have you here.

This page provides instructions on how to edit the Next.js documentation. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in the community feels empowered to contribute and improve our docs.

## Why Contribute?

Open-source work is never done, and neither is documentation. Contributing to docs is a good way for beginners to get involved in open-source and for experienced developers to clarify more complex topics while sharing their knowledge with the community.

By contributing to the Next.js docs, you're helping us build a more robust learning resource for all developers. Whether you've found a typo, a confusing section, or you've realized that a particular topic is missing, your contributions are welcomed and appreciated.

## How to Contribute

The docs content can be found on the [Next.js repo](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/docs). To contribute, you can edit the files directly on GitHub or clone the repo and edit the files locally.

### GitHub Workflow

If you're new to GitHub, we recommend reading the [GitHub Open Source Guide](https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#opening-a-pull-request) to learn how to fork a repository, create a branch, and submit a pull request.

> **Good to know**: The underlying docs code lives in a private codebase that is synced to the Next.js public repo. This means that you can't preview the docs locally. However, you'll see your changes on [nextjs.org](https://nextjs.org/docs) after merging a pull request.

### Writing MDX

The docs are written in [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/), a markdown format that supports JSX syntax. This allows us to embed React components in the docs. See the [GitHub Markdown Guide](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax) for a quick overview of markdown syntax.

### VSCode

#### Previewing Changes Locally

VSCode has a built-in markdown previewer that you can use to see your edits locally. To enable the previewer for MDX files, you'll need to add a configuration option to your user settings.

Open the command palette (`⌘ + ⇧ + P` on Mac or `Ctrl + Shift + P` on Windows) and search from `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`.

Then, add the following line to your `settings.json` file:

```json filename="settings.json"
{
  "files.associations": {
    "*.mdx": "markdown"
  }
}
```

Next, open the command palette again, and search for `Markdown: Preview File` or `Markdown: Open Preview to the Side`. This will open a preview window where you can see your formatted changes.

#### Extensions

We also recommend the following extensions for VSCode users:

* [MDX](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=unifiedjs.vscode-mdx): Intellisense and syntax highlighting for MDX.
* [Prettier](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode): Format MDX files on save.

### Review Process

Once you've submitted your contribution, the Next.js or Developer Experience teams will review your changes, provide feedback, and merge the pull request when it's ready.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance in your PR's comments. Thank you for contributing to the Next.js docs and being a part of our community!

> **Tip:** Run `pnpm prettier-fix` to run Prettier before submitting your PR.

## File Structure

The docs use **file-system routing**. Each folder and files inside [`/docs`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/docs) represent a route segment. These segments are used to generate the URL paths, navigation, and breadcrumbs.

The file structure reflects the navigation that you see on the site, and by default, navigation items are sorted alphabetically. However, we can change the order of the items by prepending a two-digit number (`00-`) to the folder or file name.

For example, in the [functions API Reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions.md), the pages are sorted alphabetically because it makes it easier for developers to find a specific function:

```txt
04-functions
├── after.mdx
├── cacheLife.mdx
├── cacheTag.mdx
└── ...
```

But, in the [routing section](/docs/app.md), the files are prefixed with a two-digit number, sorted in the order developers should learn these concepts:

```txt
01-routing
├── 01-defining-routes.mdx
├── 02-pages.mdx
├── 03-layouts-and-templates.mdx
└── ...
```

To quickly find a page, you can use `⌘ + P` (Mac) or `Ctrl + P` (Windows) to open the search bar on VSCode. Then, type the slug of the page you're looking for. E.g. `defining-routes`

> **Why not use a manifest?**
>
> We considered using a manifest file (another popular way to generate the docs navigation), but we found that a manifest would quickly get out of sync with the files. File-system routing forces us to think about the structure of the docs and feels more native to Next.js.

## Metadata

Each page has a metadata block at the top of the file separated by three dashes.

### Required Fields

The following fields are **required**:

| Field         | Description                                                                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `title`       | The page's `<h1>` title, used for SEO and OG Images.                         |
| `description` | The page's description, used in the `<meta name="description">` tag for SEO. |

```yaml filename="required-fields.mdx"

title: Page Title
description: Page Description
---
```

It's good practice to limit the page title to 2-3 words (e.g. Optimizing Images) and the description to 1-2 sentences (e.g. Learn how to optimize images in Next.js).

### Optional Fields

The following fields are **optional**:

| Field       | Description                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `nav_title` | Overrides the page's title in the navigation. This is useful when the page's title is too long to fit. If not provided, the `title` field is used. |
| `source`    | Pulls content into a shared page. See [Shared Pages](#shared-pages).                                                                               |
| `related`   | A list of related pages at the bottom of the document. These will automatically be turned into cards. See [Related Links](#related-links).         |
| `version`   | A stage of development. e.g. `experimental`,`legacy`,`unstable`,`RC`                                                                               |

## `App` and `Pages` Docs

Since most of the features in the **App Router** and **Pages Router** are completely different, their docs for each are kept in separate sections (`02-app` and `03-pages`). However, there are a few features that are shared between them.

### Shared Pages

To avoid content duplication and risk the content becoming out of sync, we use the `source` field to pull content from one page into another. For example, the `<Link>` component behaves *mostly* the same in **App** and **Pages**. Instead of duplicating the content, we can pull the content from `app/.../link.mdx` into `pages/.../link.mdx`:

```mdx filename="app/.../link.mdx"
---
title: <Link>
description: API reference for the <Link> component.
---

This API reference will help you understand how to use the props
and configuration options available for the Link Component.
```

```mdx filename="pages/.../link.mdx"
---
title: <Link>
description: API reference for the <Link> component.
source: app/api-reference/components/link
---

{/* DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE. */}
{/* The content of this page is pulled from the source above. */}
```

We can therefore edit the content in one place and have it reflected in both sections.

### Shared Content

In shared pages, sometimes there might be content that is **App Router** or **Pages Router** specific. For example, the `<Link>` component has a `shallow` prop that is only available in **Pages** but not in **App**.

To make sure the content only shows in the correct router, we can wrap content blocks in an `<AppOnly>` or `<PagesOnly>` components:

```mdx filename="app/.../link.mdx"
This content is shared between App and Pages.

<PagesOnly>

This content will only be shown on the Pages docs.

</PagesOnly>

This content is shared between App and Pages.
```

You'll likely use these components for examples and code blocks.

## Code Blocks

Code blocks should contain a minimum working example that can be copied and pasted. This means that the code should be able to run without any additional configuration.

For example, if you're showing how to use the `<Link>` component, you should include the `import` statement and the `<Link>` component itself.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

Always run examples locally before committing them. This will ensure that the code is up-to-date and working.

### Language and Filename

Code blocks should have a header that includes the language and the `filename`. Add a `filename` prop to render a special Terminal icon that helps orientate users where to input the command. For example:

````mdx filename="code-example.mdx"
```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app
```
````

Most examples in the docs are written in `tsx` and `jsx`, and a few in `bash`. However, you can use any supported language, here's the [full list](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/blob/main/docs/languages.md#all-languages).

When writing JavaScript code blocks, we use the following language and extension combinations.

|                                | Language | Extension |
| ------------------------------ | -------- | --------- |
| JavaScript files with JSX code | `jsx   | .js       |
| JavaScript files without JSX   | `js    | .js       |
| TypeScript files with JSX      | `tsx   | .tsx      |
| TypeScript files without JSX   | `ts    | .ts       |

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Make sure to use **`.js`** extension for JavaScript files with **JSX** code.
> * For example, \`\`\`jsx filename="app/layout.js"

### TS and JS Switcher

Add a language switcher to toggle between TypeScript and JavaScript. Code blocks should be TypeScript first with a JavaScript version to accommodate users.

Currently, we write TS and JS examples one after the other, and link them with `switcher` prop:

````mdx filename="code-example.mdx"
```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher

```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher

```
````

> **Good to know**: We plan to automatically compile TypeScript snippets to JavaScript in the future. In the meantime, you can use [transform.tools](https://transform.tools/typescript-to-javascript).

### Line Highlighting

Code lines can be highlighted. This is useful when you want to draw attention to a specific part of the code. You can highlight lines by passing a number to the `highlight` prop.

**Single Line:** `highlight={1}`

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" {1}
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

**Multiple Lines:** `highlight={1,3}`

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={1,3}
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

**Range of Lines:** `highlight={1-5}`

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={1-5}
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

## Icons

The following icons are available for use in the docs:

```mdx filename="mdx-icon.mdx"
<Check size={18} />
<Cross size={18} />
```

**Output:**

We do not use emojis in the docs.

## Notes

For information that is important but not critical, use notes. Notes are a good way to add information without distracting the user from the main content.

```mdx filename="notes.mdx"
> **Good to know**: This is a single line note.

> **Good to know**:
>
> - We also use this format for multi-line notes.
> - There are sometimes multiple items worth knowing or keeping in mind.
```

**Output:**

> **Good to know**: This is a single line note.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * We also use this format for multi-line notes.
> * There are sometimes multiple items worth knowing or keeping in mind.

## Related Links

Related Links guide the user's learning journey by adding links to logical next steps.

* Links will be displayed in cards under the main content of the page.
* Links will be automatically generated for pages that have child pages.

Create related links using the `related` field in the page's metadata.

```yaml filename="example.mdx"
---
related:
  description: Learn how to quickly get started with your first application.
  links:
    - app/building-your-application/routing/defining-routes
    - app/building-your-application/data-fetching
    - app/api-reference/file-conventions/page
---
```

### Nested Fields

| Field         | Required? | Description                                                                                                                                               |
| ------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `title`       | Optional  | The title of the card list. Defaults to **Next Steps**.                                                                                                   |
| `description` | Optional  | The description of the card list.                                                                                                                         |
| `links`       | Required  | A list of links to other doc pages. Each list item should be a relative URL path (without a leading slash) e.g. `app/api-reference/file-conventions/page` |

## Diagrams

Diagrams are a great way to explain complex concepts. We use [Figma](https://www.figma.com/) to create diagrams, following Vercel's design guide.

The diagrams currently live in the `/public` folder in our private Next.js site. If you'd like to update or add a diagram, please open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/new?assignees=\&labels=template%3A+documentation\&projects=\&template=4.docs_request.yml\&title=Docs%3A+) with your ideas.

## Custom Components and HTML

These are the React Components available for the docs: `<Image />` (next/image), `<PagesOnly />`, `<AppOnly />`, `<Cross />`, and `<Check />`. We do not allow raw HTML in the docs besides the `<details>` tag.

If you have ideas for new components, please open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/new/choose).

## Style Guide

This section contains guidelines for writing docs for those who are new to technical writing.

### Page Templates

While we don't have a strict template for pages, there are page sections you'll see repeated across the docs:

* **Overview:** The first paragraph of a page should tell the user what the feature is and what it's used for. Followed by a minimum working example or its API reference.
* **Convention:** If the feature has a convention, it should be explained here.
* **Examples**: Show how the feature can be used with different use cases.
* **API Tables**: API Pages should have an overview table at the of the page with jump-to-section links (when possible).
* **Next Steps (Related Links)**: Add links to related pages to guide the user's learning journey.

Feel free to add these sections as needed.

### Page Types

Docs pages are also split into two categories: Conceptual and Reference.

* **Conceptual** pages are used to explain a concept or feature. They are usually longer and contain more information than reference pages. In the Next.js docs, conceptual pages are found in the **Building Your Application** section.
* **Reference** pages are used to explain a specific API. They are usually shorter and more focused. In the Next.js docs, reference pages are found in the **API Reference** section.

> **Good to know**: Depending on the page you're contributing to, you may need to follow a different voice and style. For example, conceptual pages are more instructional and use the word *you* to address the user. Reference pages are more technical, they use more imperative words like "create, update, accept" and tend to omit the word *you*.

### Voice

Here are some guidelines to maintain a consistent style and voice across the docs:

* Write clear, concise sentences. Avoid tangents.
  * If you find yourself using a lot of commas, consider breaking the sentence into multiple sentences or use a list.
  * Swap out complex words for simpler ones. For example, *use* instead of *utilize*.
* Be mindful with the word *this*. It can be ambiguous and confusing, don't be afraid to repeat the subject of the sentence if unclear.
  * For example, *Next.js uses React* instead of *Next.js uses this*.
* Use an active voice instead of passive. An active sentence is easier to read.
  * For example, *Next.js uses React* instead of *React is used by Next.js*. If you find yourself using words like *was* and *by* you may be using a passive voice.
* Avoid using words like *easy*, *quick*, *simple*, *just*, etc. This is subjective and can be discouraging to users.
* Avoid negative words like *don't*, *can't*, *won't*, etc. This can be discouraging to readers.
  * For example, *"You can use the `Link` component to create links between pages"* instead of *"Don't use the `<a>` tag to create links between pages"*.
* Write in second person (you/your). This is more personal and engaging.
* Use gender-neutral language. Use *developers*, *users*, or *readers*, when referring to the audience.
* If adding code examples, ensure they are properly formatted and working.

While these guidelines are not exhaustive, they should help you get started. If you'd like to dive deeper into technical writing, check out the [Google Technical Writing Course](https://developers.google.com/tech-writing/overview).

# cookies
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`cookies` is an **async** function that allows you to read the HTTP incoming request cookies in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), and read/write outgoing request cookies in [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) or [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md).

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const theme = cookieStore.get('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

```js filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const theme = cookieStore.get('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

## Reference

### Methods

The following methods are available:

| Method                      | Return Type      | Description                                                                     |
| --------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `get('name')`               | Object           | Accepts a cookie name and returns an object with the name and value.            |
| `getAll()`                  | Array of objects | Returns a list of all the cookies with a matching name.                         |
| `has('name')`               | Boolean          | Accepts a cookie name and returns a boolean based on if the cookie exists.      |
| `set(name, value, options)` | -                | Accepts a cookie name, value, and options and sets the outgoing request cookie. |
| `delete(name)`              | -                | Accepts a cookie name and deletes the cookie.                                   |
| `clear()`                   | -                | Deletes all cookies.                                                            |
| `toString()`                | String           | Returns a string representation of the cookies.                                 |

### Options

When setting a cookie, the following properties from the `options` object are supported:

| Option        | Type                                   | Description                                                                        |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | String                                 | Specifies the name of the cookie.                                                  |
| `value`       | String                                 | Specifies the value to be stored in the cookie.                                    |
| `expires`     | Date                                   | Defines the exact date when the cookie will expire.                                |
| `maxAge`      | Number                                 | Sets the cookie’s lifespan in seconds.                                             |
| `domain`      | String                                 | Specifies the domain where the cookie is available.                                |
| `path`        | String, default: `'/'`                 | Limits the cookie's scope to a specific path within the domain.                    |
| `secure`      | Boolean                                | Ensures the cookie is sent only over HTTPS connections for added security.         |
| `httpOnly`    | Boolean                                | Restricts the cookie to HTTP requests, preventing client-side access.              |
| `sameSite`    | Boolean, `'lax'`, `'strict'`, `'none'` | Controls the cookie's cross-site request behavior.                                 |
| `priority`    | String (`"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`) | Specifies the cookie's priority                                                    |
| `partitioned` | Boolean                                | Indicates whether the cookie is [partitioned](https://github.com/privacycg/CHIPS). |

The only option with a default value is `path`.

To learn more about these options, see the [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies).

## Good to know

* `cookies` is an **asynchronous** function that returns a promise. You must use `async/await` or React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function to access cookies.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `cookies` was a synchronous function. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.
* `cookies` is a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) whose returned values cannot be known ahead of time. Using it in a layout or page will opt a route into [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering).
* The `.delete` method can only be called:
  * In a [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md).
  * If it belongs to the same domain from which `.set` is called. For wildcard domains, the specific subdomain must be an exact match. Additionally, the code must be executed on the same protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) as the cookie you want to delete.
* HTTP does not allow setting cookies after streaming starts, so you must use `.set` in a [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md).

## Understanding Cookie Behavior in Server Components

When working with cookies in Server Components, it's important to understand that cookies are fundamentally a client-side storage mechanism:

* **Reading cookies** works in Server Components because you're accessing the cookie data that the client's browser sends to the server in the HTTP request headers.
* **Setting cookies** cannot be done directly in a Server Component, even when using a Route Handler or Server Action. This is because cookies are actually stored by the browser, not the server.

The server can only send instructions (via `Set-Cookie` headers) to tell the browser to store cookies - the actual storage happens on the client side. This is why cookie operations that modify state (`.set`, `.delete`, `.clear`) must be performed in a Route Handler or Server Action where the response headers can be properly set.

## Understanding Cookie Behavior in Server Actions

After you set or delete a cookie in a Server Action, Next.js re-renders the current page and its layouts on the server so the UI reflects the new cookie value. See the [Caching guide](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#cookies).

The UI is not unmounted, but effects that depend on data coming from the server will re-run.

To refresh cached data too, call [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) inside the action.

## Examples

### Getting a cookie

You can use the `(await cookies()).get('name')` method to get a single cookie:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const theme = cookieStore.get('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const theme = cookieStore.get('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

### Getting all cookies

You can use the `(await cookies()).getAll()` method to get all cookies with a matching name. If `name` is unspecified, it returns all the available cookies.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  return cookieStore.getAll().map((cookie) => (
    <div key={cookie.name}>
      <p>Name: {cookie.name}</p>
      <p>Value: {cookie.value}</p>
    </div>
  ))
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  return cookieStore.getAll().map((cookie) => (
    <div key={cookie.name}>
      <p>Name: {cookie.name}</p>
      <p>Value: {cookie.value}</p>
    </div>
  ))
}
```

### Setting a cookie

You can use the `(await cookies()).set(name, value, options)` method in a [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) to set a cookie. The [`options` object](#options) is optional.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function create(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  cookieStore.set('name', 'lee')
  // or
  cookieStore.set('name', 'lee', { secure: true })
  // or
  cookieStore.set({
    name: 'name',
    value: 'lee',
    httpOnly: true,
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function create(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  cookieStore.set('name', 'lee')
  // or
  cookieStore.set('name', 'lee', { secure: true })
  // or
  cookieStore.set({
    name: 'name',
    value: 'lee',
    httpOnly: true,
    path: '/',
  })
}
```

### Checking if a cookie exists

You can use the `(await cookies()).has(name)` method to check if a cookie exists:

```tsx filename="app/page.ts" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const hasCookie = cookieStore.has('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const hasCookie = cookieStore.has('theme')
  return '...'
}
```

### Deleting cookies

There are three ways you can delete a cookie.

Using the `delete()` method:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.delete('name')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.delete('name')
}
```

Setting a new cookie with the same name and an empty value:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('name', '')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('name', '')
}
```

Setting the `maxAge` to 0 will immediately expire a cookie. `maxAge` accepts a value in seconds.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('name', 'value', { maxAge: 0 })
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function deleteCookie(data) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  cookieStore.set('name', 'value', { maxAge: 0 })
}
```

# create-next-app
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `create-next-app` CLI allow you to create a new Next.js application using the default template or an [example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples) from a public GitHub repository. It is the easiest way to get started with Next.js.

Basic usage:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest [project-name] [options]
```

## Examples

### With the default template

To create a new app using the default template, run the following command in your terminal:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest
```

On installation, you'll see the following prompts:

```txt filename="Terminal"
What is your project named? my-app
Would you like to use the recommended Next.js defaults?
    Yes, use recommended defaults - TypeScript, ESLint, Tailwind CSS, App Router, Turbopack
    No, reuse previous settings
    No, customize settings - Choose your own preferences
```

If you choose to `customize settings`, you'll see the following prompts:

```txt filename="Terminal"
Would you like to use TypeScript? No / Yes
Which linter would you like to use? ESLint / Biome / None
Would you like to use React Compiler? No / Yes
Would you like to use Tailwind CSS? No / Yes
Would you like your code inside a `src/` directory? No / Yes
Would you like to use App Router? (recommended) No / Yes
Would you like to customize the import alias (`@/*` by default)? No / Yes
What import alias would you like configured? @/*
```

After the prompts, `create-next-app` will create a folder with your project name and install the required dependencies.

### Linter Options

**ESLint**: The traditional and most popular JavaScript linter. Includes Next.js-specific rules from `@next/eslint-plugin-next`.

**Biome**: A fast, modern linter and formatter that combines the functionality of ESLint and Prettier. Includes built-in Next.js and React domain support for optimal performance.

**None**: Skip linter configuration entirely. You can always add a linter later.

Once you've answered the prompts, a new project will be created with your chosen configuration.

### With an official Next.js example

To create a new app using an official Next.js example, use the `--example` flag. For example:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example [example-name] [your-project-name]
```

You can view a list of all available examples along with setup instructions in the [Next.js repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples).

### With any public GitHub example

To create a new app using any public GitHub example, use the `--example` option with the GitHub repo's URL. For example:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example "https://github.com/.../" [your-project-name]
```

# How to use CSS-in-JS libraries
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Warning:** Using CSS-in-JS with newer React features like Server Components and Streaming requires library authors to support the latest version of React, including [concurrent rendering](https://react.dev/blog/2022/03/29/react-v18#what-is-concurrent-react).

The following libraries are supported in Client Components in the `app` directory (alphabetical):

* [`ant-design`](https://ant.design/docs/react/use-with-next#using-app-router)
* [`chakra-ui`](https://chakra-ui.com/getting-started/nextjs-app-guide)
* [`@fluentui/react-components`](https://react.fluentui.dev/?path=/docs/concepts-developer-server-side-rendering-next-js-appdir-setup--page)
* [`kuma-ui`](https://kuma-ui.com)
* [`@mui/material`](https://mui.com/material-ui/guides/next-js-app-router/)
* [`@mui/joy`](https://mui.com/joy-ui/integrations/next-js-app-router/)
* [`pandacss`](https://panda-css.com)
* [`styled-jsx`](#styled-jsx)
* [`styled-components`](#styled-components)
* [`stylex`](https://stylexjs.com)
* [`tamagui`](https://tamagui.dev/docs/guides/next-js#server-components)
* [`tss-react`](https://tss-react.dev/)
* [`vanilla-extract`](https://vanilla-extract.style)

The following are currently working on support:

* [`emotion`](https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/issues/2928)

> **Good to know**: We're testing out different CSS-in-JS libraries and we'll be adding more examples for libraries that support React 18 features and/or the `app` directory.

## Configuring CSS-in-JS in `app`

Configuring CSS-in-JS is a three-step opt-in process that involves:

1. A **style registry** to collect all CSS rules in a render.
2. The new `useServerInsertedHTML` hook to inject rules before any content that might use them.
3. A Client Component that wraps your app with the style registry during initial server-side rendering.

### `styled-jsx`

Using `styled-jsx` in Client Components requires using `v5.1.0`. First, create a new registry:

```tsx filename="app/registry.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation'
import { StyleRegistry, createStyleRegistry } from 'styled-jsx'

export default function StyledJsxRegistry({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  // Only create stylesheet once with lazy initial state
  // x-ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#lazy-initial-state
  const [jsxStyleRegistry] = useState(() => createStyleRegistry())

  useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
    const styles = jsxStyleRegistry.styles()
    jsxStyleRegistry.flush()
    return <>{styles}</>
  })

  return <StyleRegistry registry={jsxStyleRegistry}>{children}</StyleRegistry>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/registry.js" switcher
'use client'

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation'
import { StyleRegistry, createStyleRegistry } from 'styled-jsx'

export default function StyledJsxRegistry({ children }) {
  // Only create stylesheet once with lazy initial state
  // x-ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#lazy-initial-state
  const [jsxStyleRegistry] = useState(() => createStyleRegistry())

  useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
    const styles = jsxStyleRegistry.styles()
    jsxStyleRegistry.flush()
    return <>{styles}</>
  })

  return <StyleRegistry registry={jsxStyleRegistry}>{children}</StyleRegistry>
}
```

Then, wrap your [root layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout) with the registry:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import StyledJsxRegistry from './registry'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <StyledJsxRegistry>{children}</StyledJsxRegistry>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import StyledJsxRegistry from './registry'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <StyledJsxRegistry>{children}</StyledJsxRegistry>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

[View an example here](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-styled-jsx).

### Styled Components

Below is an example of how to configure `styled-components@6` or newer:

First, enable styled-components in `next.config.js`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    styledComponents: true,
  },
}
```

Then, use the `styled-components` API to create a global registry component to collect all CSS style rules generated during a render, and a function to return those rules. Then use the `useServerInsertedHTML` hook to inject the styles collected in the registry into the `<head>` HTML tag in the root layout.

```tsx filename="lib/registry.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation'
import { ServerStyleSheet, StyleSheetManager } from 'styled-components'

export default function StyledComponentsRegistry({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  // Only create stylesheet once with lazy initial state
  // x-ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#lazy-initial-state
  const [styledComponentsStyleSheet] = useState(() => new ServerStyleSheet())

  useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
    const styles = styledComponentsStyleSheet.getStyleElement()
    styledComponentsStyleSheet.instance.clearTag()
    return <>{styles}</>
  })

  if (typeof window !== 'undefined') return <>{children}</>

  return (
    <StyleSheetManager sheet={styledComponentsStyleSheet.instance}>
      {children}
    </StyleSheetManager>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="lib/registry.js" switcher
'use client'

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation'
import { ServerStyleSheet, StyleSheetManager } from 'styled-components'

export default function StyledComponentsRegistry({ children }) {
  // Only create stylesheet once with lazy initial state
  // x-ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#lazy-initial-state
  const [styledComponentsStyleSheet] = useState(() => new ServerStyleSheet())

  useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
    const styles = styledComponentsStyleSheet.getStyleElement()
    styledComponentsStyleSheet.instance.clearTag()
    return <>{styles}</>
  })

  if (typeof window !== 'undefined') return <>{children}</>

  return (
    <StyleSheetManager sheet={styledComponentsStyleSheet.instance}>
      {children}
    </StyleSheetManager>
  )
}
```

Wrap the `children` of the root layout with the style registry component:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import StyledComponentsRegistry from './lib/registry'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <StyledComponentsRegistry>{children}</StyledComponentsRegistry>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import StyledComponentsRegistry from './lib/registry'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <StyledComponentsRegistry>{children}</StyledComponentsRegistry>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

[View an example here](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-styled-components).

> **Good to know**:
>
> * During server rendering, styles will be extracted to a global registry and flushed to the `<head>` of your HTML. This ensures the style rules are placed before any content that might use them. In the future, we may use an upcoming React feature to determine where to inject the styles.
> * During streaming, styles from each chunk will be collected and appended to existing styles. After client-side hydration is complete, `styled-components` will take over as usual and inject any further dynamic styles.
> * We specifically use a Client Component at the top level of the tree for the style registry because it's more efficient to extract CSS rules this way. It avoids re-generating styles on subsequent server renders, and prevents them from being sent in the Server Component payload.
> * For advanced use cases where you need to configure individual properties of styled-components compilation, you can read our [Next.js styled-components API reference](/docs/architecture/nextjs-compiler.md#styled-components) to learn more.

## CSS

@doc-version: 16.0.4

Next.js provides several ways to style your application using CSS, including:

- [Tailwind CSS](#tailwind-css)
- [CSS Modules](#css-modules)
- [Global CSS](#global-css)
- [External Stylesheets](#external-stylesheets)
- [Sass](/docs/app/guides/sass.md)
- [CSS-in-JS](/docs/app/guides/css-in-js.md)

## Tailwind CSS

[Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) is a utility-first CSS framework that provides low-level utility classes to build custom designs.

Install Tailwind CSS:

```bash
package="pnpm"
pnpm add -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss
```

```bash
package="npm"
npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss
```

```bash
package="yarn"
yarn add -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss
```

```bash
package="bun"
bun add -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss
```

Add the PostCSS plugin to your `postcss.config.mjs` file:

```js
filename="postcss.config.mjs"
export default {
  plugins: {
    '@tailwindcss/postcss': {},
  },
}
```

Import Tailwind in your global CSS file:

```css
filename="app/globals.css"
@import 'tailwindcss';
```

Import the CSS file in your root layout:

```tsx
filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import './globals.css'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx
filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import './globals.css'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Now you can start using Tailwind's utility classes in your application:

```tsx
filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <main className="flex min-h-screen flex-col items-center justify-between p-24">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Welcome to Next.js!</h1>
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx
filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <main className="flex min-h-screen flex-col items-center justify-between p-24">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Welcome to Next.js!</h1>
    </main>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** If you need broader browser support for very old browsers, see the [Tailwind CSS v3 setup instructions](/docs/app/guides/tailwind-v3-css.md).

## CSS Modules

CSS Modules locally scope CSS by generating unique class names. This allows you to use the same class in different files without worrying about naming collisions.

To start using CSS Modules, create a new file with the extension `.module.css` and import it into any component inside the `app` directory:

```css
filename="app/blog/blog.module.css"
.blog {
  padding: 24px;
}
```

```tsx
filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import styles from './blog.module.css'

export default function Page() {
  return <main className={styles.blog}></main>
}
```

```jsx
filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import styles from './blog.module.css'

export default function Page() {
  return <main className={styles.blog}></main>
}
```

## Global CSS

You can use global CSS to apply styles across your application.

Create a `app/global.css` file and import it in the root layout to apply the styles to **every route** in your application:

```css
filename="app/global.css"
body {
  padding: 20px 20px 60px;
  max-width: 680px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
```

```tsx
filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
// These styles apply to every route in the application
import './global.css'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx
filename="app/layout.js" switcher
// These styles apply to every route in the application
import './global.css'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** Global styles can be imported into any layout, page, or component inside the `app` directory. However, since Next.js uses React's built-in support for stylesheets to integrate with Suspense, this currently does not remove stylesheets as you navigate between routes which can lead to conflicts. We recommend using global styles for *truly* global CSS (like Tailwind's base styles), [Tailwind CSS](#tailwind-css) for component styling, and [CSS Modules](#css-modules) for custom scoped CSS when needed.

## External stylesheets

Stylesheets published by external packages can be imported anywhere in the `app` directory, including colocated components:

```tsx
filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body className="container">{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx
filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body className="container">{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** In React 19, `<link rel="stylesheet" href="..." />` can also be used. See the [React `link` documentation](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/link) for more information.

## Ordering and Merging

Next.js optimizes CSS during production builds by automatically chunking (merging) stylesheets. The **order of your CSS** depends on the **order you import styles in your code**.

For example, `base-button.module.css` will be ordered before `page.module.css` since `<BaseButton>` is imported before `page.module.css`:

```tsx
filename="page.tsx" switcher
import { BaseButton } from './base-button'
import styles from './page.module.css'

export default function Page() {
  return <BaseButton className={styles.primary} />
}
```

```jsx
filename="page.js" switcher
import { BaseButton } from './base-button'
import styles from './page.module.css'

export default function Page() {
  return <BaseButton className={styles.primary} />
}
```

```tsx
filename="base-button.tsx" switcher
import styles from './base-button.module.css'

export function BaseButton() {
  return <button className={styles.primary} />
}
```

```jsx
filename="base-button.js" switcher
import styles from './base-button.module.css'

export function BaseButton() {
  return <button className={styles.primary} />
}
```

### Recommendations

To keep CSS ordering predictable:

- Try to contain CSS imports to a single JavaScript or TypeScript entry file
- Import global styles and Tailwind stylesheets in the root of your application.
- **Use Tailwind CSS** for most styling needs as it covers common design patterns with utility classes.
- Use CSS Modules for component-specific styles when Tailwind utilities aren't sufficient.
- Use a consistent naming convention for your CSS modules. For example, using `<name>.module.css` over `<name>.tsx`.
- Extract shared styles into shared components to avoid duplicate imports.
- Turn off linters or formatters that auto-sort imports like ESLint’s [`sort-imports`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/rules/sort-imports).
- You can use the [`cssChunking`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cssChunking.md) option in `next.config.js` to control how CSS is chunked.

## Development vs Production

- In development (`next dev`), CSS updates apply instantly with [Fast Refresh](/docs/architecture/fast-refresh.md).
- In production (`next build`), all CSS files are automatically concatenated into **many minified and code-split** `.css` files, ensuring the minimal amount of CSS is loaded for a route.
- CSS still loads with JavaScript disabled in production, but JavaScript is required in development for Fast Refresh.
- CSS ordering can behave differently in development, always ensure to check the build (`next build`) to verify the final CSS order.

# cssChunking
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

CSS Chunking is a strategy used to improve the performance of your web application by splitting and re-ordering CSS files into chunks. This allows you to load only the CSS that is needed for a specific route, instead of loading all the application's CSS at once.

You can control how CSS files are chunked using the `experimental.cssChunking` option in your `next.config.js` file:

```tsx filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    cssChunking: true, // default
  },
} satisfies NextConfig

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    cssChunking: true, // default
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Options

* **`true` (default)**: Next.js will try to merge CSS files whenever possible, determining explicit and implicit dependencies between files from import order to reduce the number of chunks and therefore the number of requests.
* **`false`**: Next.js will not attempt to merge or re-order your CSS files.
* **`'strict'`**: Next.js will load CSS files in the correct order they are imported into your files, which can lead to more chunks and requests.

You may consider using `'strict'` if you run into unexpected CSS behavior. For example, if you import `a.css` and `b.css` in different files using a different `import` order (`a` before `b`, or `b` before `a`), `true` will merge the files in any order and assume there are no dependencies between them. However, if `b.css` depends on `a.css`, you may want to use `'strict'` to prevent the files from being merged, and instead, load them in the order they are imported - which can result in more chunks and requests.

For most applications, we recommend `true` as it leads to fewer requests and better performance.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md

# Custom App


Next.js uses the `App` component to initialize pages. You can override it and control the page initialization and:

* Create a shared layout between page changes
* Inject additional data into pages
* [Add global CSS](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md)

## Usage

To override the default `App`, create the file `pages/_app` as shown below:

```tsx filename="pages/_app.tsx" switcher
import type { AppProps } from 'next/app'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/_app.jsx" switcher
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
```

The `Component` prop is the active `page`, so whenever you navigate between routes, `Component` will change to the new `page`. Therefore, any props you send to `Component` will be received by the `page`.

`pageProps` is an object with the initial props that were preloaded for your page by one of our [data fetching methods](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching.md), otherwise it's an empty object.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If your app is running and you added a custom `App`, you'll need to restart the development server. Only required if `pages/_app.js` didn't exist before.
> * `App` does not support Next.js [Data Fetching methods](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching.md) like [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) or [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md).

## `getInitialProps` with `App`

Using [`getInitialProps`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-initial-props.md) in `App` will disable [Automatic Static Optimization](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization.md) for pages without [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md).

**We do not recommend using this pattern.** Instead, consider [incrementally adopting](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md) the App Router, which allows you to more easily fetch data for pages and layouts.

```tsx filename="pages/_app.tsx" switcher
import App, { AppContext, AppInitialProps, AppProps } from 'next/app'

type AppOwnProps = { example: string }

export default function MyApp({
  Component,
  pageProps,
  example,
}: AppProps & AppOwnProps) {
  return (
    <>
      <p>Data: {example}</p>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </>
  )
}

MyApp.getInitialProps = async (
  context: AppContext
): Promise<AppOwnProps & AppInitialProps> => {
  const ctx = await App.getInitialProps(context)

  return { ...ctx, example: 'data' }
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/_app.jsx" switcher
import App from 'next/app'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps, example }) {
  return (
    <>
      <p>Data: {example}</p>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </>
  )
}

MyApp.getInitialProps = async (context) => {
  const ctx = await App.getInitialProps(context)

  return { ...ctx, example: 'data' }
}
```

# Custom Errors


## 404 Page

A 404 page may be accessed very often. Server-rendering an error page for every visit increases the load of the Next.js server. This can result in increased costs and slow experiences.

To avoid the above pitfalls, Next.js provides a static 404 page by default without having to add any additional files.

### Customizing The 404 Page

To create a custom 404 page you can create a `pages/404.js` file. This file is statically generated at build time.

```jsx filename="pages/404.js"
export default function Custom404() {
  return <h1>404 - Page Not Found</h1>
}
```

> **Good to know**: You can use [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) inside this page if you need to fetch data at build time.

## 500 Page

Server-rendering an error page for every visit adds complexity to responding to errors. To help users get responses to errors as fast as possible, Next.js provides a static 500 page by default without having to add any additional files.

### Customizing The 500 Page

To customize the 500 page you can create a `pages/500.js` file. This file is statically generated at build time.

```jsx filename="pages/500.js"
export default function Custom500() {
  return <h1>500 - Server-side error occurred</h1>
}
```

> **Good to know**: You can use [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) inside this page if you need to fetch data at build time.

### More Advanced Error Page Customizing

500 errors are handled both client-side and server-side by the `Error` component. If you wish to override it, define the file `pages/_error.js` and add the following code:

```jsx
function Error({ statusCode }) {
  return (
    <p>
      {statusCode
        ? `An error ${statusCode} occurred on server`
        : 'An error occurred on client'}
    </p>
  )
}

Error.getInitialProps = ({ res, err }) => {
  const statusCode = res ? res.statusCode : err ? err.statusCode : 404
  return { statusCode }
}

export default Error
```

> `pages/_error.js` is only used in production. In development you’ll get an error with the call stack to know where the error originated from.

### Reusing the built-in error page

If you want to render the built-in error page you can by importing the `Error` component:

```jsx
import Error from 'next/error'

export async function getServerSideProps() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const errorCode = res.ok ? false : res.status
  const json = await res.json()

  return {
    props: { errorCode, stars: json.stargazers_count },
  }
}

export default function Page({ errorCode, stars }) {
  if (errorCode) {
    return <Error statusCode={errorCode} />
  }

  return <div>Next stars: {stars}</div>
}
```

The `Error` component also takes `title` as a property if you want to pass in a text message along with a `statusCode`.

If you have a custom `Error` component be sure to import that one instead. `next/error` exports the default component used by Next.js.

### Caveats

* `Error` does not currently support Next.js [Data Fetching methods](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching.md) like [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) or [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md).
* `_error`, like `_app`, is a reserved pathname. `_error` is used to define the customized layouts and behaviors of the error pages. `/_error` will render 404 when accessed directly via [routing](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing.md) or rendering in a [custom server](/docs/pages/guides/custom-server.md).

# How to set up a custom server in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js includes its own server with `next start` by default. If you have an existing backend, you can still use it with Next.js (this is not a custom server). A custom Next.js server allows you to programmatically start a server for custom patterns. The majority of the time, you will not need this approach. However, it's available if you need to eject.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Before deciding to use a custom server, keep in mind that it should only be used when the integrated router of Next.js can't meet your app requirements. A custom server will remove important performance optimizations, like **[Automatic Static Optimization](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization.md).**
> * When using standalone output mode, it does not trace custom server files. This mode outputs a separate minimal `server.js` file, instead. These cannot be used together.

Take a look at the [following example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/custom-server) of a custom server:

```ts filename="server.ts" switcher
import { createServer } from 'http'
import { parse } from 'url'
import next from 'next'

const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT || '3000', 10)
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()

app.prepare().then(() => {
  createServer((req, res) => {
    const parsedUrl = parse(req.url!, true)
    handle(req, res, parsedUrl)
  }).listen(port)

  console.log(
    `> Server listening at http://localhost:${port} as ${
      dev ? 'development' : process.env.NODE_ENV
    }`
  )
})
```

```js filename="server.js" switcher
import { createServer } from 'http'
import { parse } from 'url'
import next from 'next'

const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT || '3000', 10)
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()

app.prepare().then(() => {
  createServer((req, res) => {
    const parsedUrl = parse(req.url, true)
    handle(req, res, parsedUrl)
  }).listen(port)

  console.log(
    `> Server listening at http://localhost:${port} as ${
      dev ? 'development' : process.env.NODE_ENV
    }`
  )
})
```

> `server.js` does not run through the Next.js Compiler or bundling process. Make sure the syntax and source code this file requires are compatible with the current Node.js version you are using. [View an example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/custom-server).

To run the custom server, you'll need to update the `scripts` in `package.json` like so:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node server.js",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production node server.js"
  }
}
```

Alternatively, you can set up `nodemon` ([example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/custom-server)). The custom server uses the following import to connect the server with the Next.js application:

```js
import next from 'next'

const app = next({})
```

The above `next` import is a function that receives an object with the following options:

| Option       | Type               | Description                                                                         |
| ------------ | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `conf`       | `Object`           | The same object you would use in `next.config.js`. Defaults to `{}`                 |
| `dev`        | `Boolean`          | (*Optional*) Whether or not to launch Next.js in dev mode. Defaults to `false`      |
| `dir`        | `String`           | (*Optional*) Location of the Next.js project. Defaults to `'.'`                     |
| `quiet`      | `Boolean`          | (*Optional*) Hide error messages containing server information. Defaults to `false` |
| `hostname`   | `String`           | (*Optional*) The hostname the server is running behind                              |
| `port`       | `Number`           | (*Optional*) The port the server is running behind                                  |
| `httpServer` | `node:http#Server` | (*Optional*) The HTTP Server that Next.js is running behind                         |
| `turbopack`  | `Boolean`          | (*Optional*) Enable Turbopack (enabled by default)                                  |
| `webpack`    | `Boolean`          | (*Optional*) Enable webpack                                                         |

The returned `app` can then be used to let Next.js handle requests as required.

# How to set up Cypress with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) is a test runner used for **End-to-End (E2E)** and **Component Testing**. This page will show you how to set up Cypress with Next.js and write your first tests.

> **Warning:**
>
> * Cypress versions below 13.6.3 do not support [TypeScript version 5](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/27731) with `moduleResolution:"bundler"`. However, this issue has been resolved in Cypress version 13.6.3 and later. [cypress v13.6.3](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/changelog#13-6-3)

## Quickstart

You can use `create-next-app` with the [with-cypress example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-cypress) to quickly get started.

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example with-cypress with-cypress-app
```

## Manual setup

To manually set up Cypress, install `cypress` as a dev dependency:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -D cypress
# or
yarn add -D cypress
# or
pnpm install -D cypress
```

Add the Cypress `open` command to the `package.json` scripts field:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "lint": "eslint",
    "cypress:open": "cypress open"
  }
}
```

Run Cypress for the first time to open the Cypress testing suite:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm run cypress:open
```

You can choose to configure **E2E Testing** and/or **Component Testing**. Selecting any of these options will automatically create a `cypress.config.js` file and a `cypress` folder in your project.

## Creating your first Cypress E2E test

Ensure your `cypress.config` file has the following configuration:

```ts filename="cypress.config.ts" switcher
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'

export default defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {},
  },
})
```

```js filename="cypress.config.js" switcher
const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {},
  },
})
```

Then, create two new Next.js files:

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/about/page.js"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>About</h1>
      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Add a test to check your navigation is working correctly:

```js filename="cypress/e2e/app.cy.js"
describe('Navigation', () => {
  it('should navigate to the about page', () => {
    // Start from the index page
    cy.visit('http://localhost:3000/')

    // Find a link with an href attribute containing "about" and click it
    cy.get('a[href*="about"]').click()

    // The new url should include "/about"
    cy.url().should('include', '/about')

    // The new page should contain an h1 with "About"
    cy.get('h1').contains('About')
  })
})
```

### Running E2E Tests

Cypress will simulate a user navigating your application, this requires your Next.js server to be running. We recommend running your tests against your production code to more closely resemble how your application will behave.

Run `npm run build && npm run start` to build your Next.js application, then run `npm run cypress:open` in another terminal window to start Cypress and run your E2E Testing suite.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * You can use `cy.visit("/")` instead of `cy.visit("http://localhost:3000/")` by adding `baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000'` to the `cypress.config.js` configuration file.
> * Alternatively, you can install the [`start-server-and-test`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/start-server-and-test) package to run the Next.js production server in conjunction with Cypress. After installation, add `"test": "start-server-and-test start http://localhost:3000 cypress"` to your `package.json` scripts field. Remember to rebuild your application after new changes.

## Creating your first Cypress component test

Component tests build and mount a specific component without having to bundle your whole application or start a server.

Select **Component Testing** in the Cypress app, then select **Next.js** as your front-end framework. A `cypress/component` folder will be created in your project, and a `cypress.config.js` file will be updated to enable Component Testing.

Ensure your `cypress.config` file has the following configuration:

```ts filename="cypress.config.ts" switcher
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress'

export default defineConfig({
  component: {
    devServer: {
      framework: 'next',
      bundler: 'webpack',
    },
  },
})
```

```js filename="cypress.config.js" switcher
const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  component: {
    devServer: {
      framework: 'next',
      bundler: 'webpack',
    },
  },
})
```

Assuming the same components from the previous section, add a test to validate a component is rendering the expected output:

```tsx filename="cypress/component/about.cy.tsx"
import Page from '../../app/page'

describe('<Page />', () => {
  it('should render and display expected content', () => {
    // Mount the React component for the Home page
    cy.mount(<Page />)

    // The new page should contain an h1 with "Home"
    cy.get('h1').contains('Home')

    // Validate that a link with the expected URL is present
    // Following the link is better suited to an E2E test
    cy.get('a[href="/about"]').should('be.visible')
  })
})
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Cypress currently doesn't support Component Testing for `async` Server Components. We recommend using E2E testing.
> * Since component tests do not require a Next.js server, features like `<Image />` that rely on a server being available may not function out-of-the-box.

### Running Component Tests

Run `npm run cypress:open` in your terminal to start Cypress and run your Component Testing suite.

## Continuous Integration (CI)

In addition to interactive testing, you can also run Cypress headlessly using the `cypress run` command, which is better suited for CI environments:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    //...
    "e2e": "start-server-and-test dev http://localhost:3000 \"cypress open --e2e\"",
    "e2e:headless": "start-server-and-test dev http://localhost:3000 \"cypress run --e2e\"",
    "component": "cypress open --component",
    "component:headless": "cypress run --component"
  }
}
```

# Data Fetching


Data fetching in Next.js allows you to render your content in different ways, depending on your application's use case. These include pre-rendering with **Server-side Rendering** or **Static Generation**, and updating or creating content at runtime with **Incremental Static Regeneration**.

# How to think about data security in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[React Server Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components) improve performance and simplify data fetching, but also shift where and how data is accessed, changing some of the traditional security assumptions for handling data in frontend apps.

This guide will help you understand how to think about data security in Next.js and how to implement best practices.

## Data fetching approaches

There are three main approaches we recommend for fetching data in Next.js, depending on the size and age of your project:

* [HTTP APIs](#external-http-apis): for existing large applications and organizations.
* [Data Access Layer](#data-access-layer): for new projects.
* [Component-Level Data Access](#component-level-data-access): for prototypes and learning.

We recommend choosing one data fetching approach and avoiding mixing them. This makes it clear for both developers working in your code base and security auditors what to expect.

### External HTTP APIs

You should follow a **Zero Trust** model when adopting Server Components in an existing project. You can continue calling your existing API endpoints such as REST or GraphQL from Server Components using [`fetch`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md), just as you would in Client Components.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const cookieStore = cookies()
  const token = cookieStore.get('AUTH_TOKEN')?.value

  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/profile', {
    headers: {
      Cookie: `AUTH_TOKEN=${token}`,
      // Other headers
    },
  })

  // ....
}
```

This approach works well when:

* You already have security practices in place.
* Separate backend teams use other languages or manage APIs independently.

### Data Access Layer

For new projects, we recommend creating a dedicated **Data Access Layer (DAL)**. This is a internal library that controls how and when data is fetched, and what gets passed to your render context.

A Data Access Layer should:

* Only run on the server.
* Perform authorization checks.
* Return safe, minimal **Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)**.

This approach centralizes all data access logic, making it easier to enforce consistent data access and reduces the risk of authorization bugs. You also get the benefit of sharing an in-memory cache across different parts of a request.

```ts filename="data/auth.ts"
import { cache } from 'react'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

// Cached helper methods makes it easy to get the same value in many places
// without manually passing it around. This discourages passing it from Server
// Component to Server Component which minimizes risk of passing it to a Client
// Component.
export const getCurrentUser = cache(async () => {
  const token = cookies().get('AUTH_TOKEN')
  const decodedToken = await decryptAndValidate(token)
  // Don't include secret tokens or private information as public fields.
  // Use classes to avoid accidentally passing the whole object to the client.
  return new User(decodedToken.id)
})
```

```tsx filename="data/user-dto.tsx"
import 'server-only'
import { getCurrentUser } from './auth'

function canSeeUsername(viewer: User) {
  // Public info for now, but can change
  return true
}

function canSeePhoneNumber(viewer: User, team: string) {
  // Privacy rules
  return viewer.isAdmin || team === viewer.team
}

export async function getProfileDTO(slug: string) {
  // Don't pass values, read back cached values, also solves context and easier to make it lazy

  // use a database API that supports safe templating of queries
  const [rows] = await sql`SELECT * FROM user WHERE slug = ${slug}`
  const userData = rows[0]

  const currentUser = await getCurrentUser()

  // only return the data relevant for this query and not everything
  // <https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/APIMinimization>
  return {
    username: canSeeUsername(currentUser) ? userData.username : null,
    phonenumber: canSeePhoneNumber(currentUser, userData.team)
      ? userData.phonenumber
      : null,
  }
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { getProfile } from '../../data/user'

export async function Page({ params: { slug } }) {
  // This page can now safely pass around this profile knowing
  // that it shouldn't contain anything sensitive.
  const profile = await getProfile(slug);
  ...
}
```

> **Good to know:** Secret keys should be stored in environment variables, but only the Data Access Layer should access `process.env`. This keeps secrets from being exposed to other parts of the application.

### Component-level data access

For quick prototypes and iteration, database queries can be placed directly in Server Components.

This approach, however, makes it easier to accidentally expose private data to the client, for example:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import Profile from './components/profile.tsx'

export async function Page({ params: { slug } }) {
  const [rows] = await sql`SELECT * FROM user WHERE slug = ${slug}`
  const userData = rows[0]
  // EXPOSED: This exposes all the fields in userData to the client because
  // we are passing the data from the Server Component to the Client.
  return <Profile user={userData} />
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/profile.tsx"
'use client'

// BAD: This is a bad props interface because it accepts way more data than the
// Client Component needs and it encourages server components to pass all that
// data down. A better solution would be to accept a limited object with just
// the fields necessary for rendering the profile.
export default async function Profile({ user }: { user: User }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{user.name}</h1>
      ...
    </div>
  )
}
```

You should sanitize the data before passing it to the Client Component:

```ts filename="data/user.ts"
import { sql } from './db'

export async function getUser(slug: string) {
  const [rows] = await sql`SELECT * FROM user WHERE slug = ${slug}`
  const user = rows[0]

  // Return only the public fields
  return {
    name: user.name,
  }
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { getUser } from '../data/user'
import Profile from './ui/profile'

export default async function Page({
  params: { slug },
}: {
  params: { slug: string }
}) {
  const publicProfile = await getUser(slug)
  return <Profile user={publicProfile} />
}
```

## Reading data

### Passing data from server to client

On the initial load, both Server and Client Components run on the server to generate HTML. However, they execute in isolated module systems. This ensures that Server Components can access private data and APIs, while Client Components cannot.

**Server Components:**

* Run only on the server.
* Can safely access environment variables, secrets, databases, and internal APIs.

**Client Components:**

* Run on the server during pre-rendering, but must follow the same security assumptions as code running in the browser.
* Must not access privileged data or server-only modules.

This ensures the app is secure by default, but it's possible to accidentally expose private data through how data is fetched or passed to components.

### Tainting

To prevent accidental exposure of private data to the client, you can use React Taint APIs:

* [`experimental_taintObjectReference`](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintObjectReference) for data objects.
* [`experimental_taintUniqueValue`](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintUniqueValue) for specific values.

You can enable usage in your Next.js app with the [`experimental.taint`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/taint.md) option in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    taint: true,
  },
}
```

This prevents the tainted objects or values from being passed to the client. However, it's an additional layer of protection, you should still filter and sanitize the data in your [DAL](#data-access-layer) before passing it to React's render context.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * By default, environment variables are only available on the Server. Next.js exposes any environment variable prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_` to the client. [Learn more](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md).
> * Functions and classes are already blocked from being passed to Client Components by default.

### Preventing client-side execution of server-only code

To prevent server-only code from being executed on the client, you can mark a module with the [`server-only`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/server-only) package:

```bash package="npm"
npm install server-only
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add server-only
```

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm add server-only
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add server-only
```

```ts filename="lib/data.ts"
import 'server-only'

//...
```

This ensures that proprietary code or internal business logic stays on the server by causing a build error if the module is imported in the client environment.

## Mutating Data

Next.js handles mutations with [Server Actions](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions).

### Built-in Server Actions Security features

By default, when a Server Action is created and exported, it creates a public HTTP endpoint and should be treated with the same security assumptions and authorization checks. This means, even if a Server Action or utility function is not imported elsewhere in your code, it's still publicly accessible.

To improve security, Next.js has the following built-in features:

* **Secure action IDs:** Next.js creates encrypted, non-deterministic IDs to allow the client to reference and call the Server Action. These IDs are periodically recalculated between builds for enhanced security.
* **Dead code elimination:** Unused Server Actions (referenced by their IDs) are removed from client bundle to avoid public access.

> **Good to know**:
>
> The IDs are created during compilation and are cached for a maximum of 14 days. They will be regenerated when a new build is initiated or when the build cache is invalidated.
> This security improvement reduces the risk in cases where an authentication layer is missing. However, you should still treat Server Actions like public HTTP endpoints.

```jsx
// app/actions.js
'use server'

// If this action **is** used in our application, Next.js
// will create a secure ID to allow the client to reference
// and call the Server Action.
export async function updateUserAction(formData) {}

// If this action **is not** used in our application, Next.js
// will automatically remove this code during `next build`
// and will not create a public endpoint.
export async function deleteUserAction(formData) {}
```

### Validating client input

You should always validate input from client, as they can be easily modified. For example, form data, URL parameters, headers, and searchParams:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// BAD: Trusting searchParams directly
export default async function Page({ searchParams }) {
  const isAdmin = searchParams.get('isAdmin')
  if (isAdmin === 'true') {
    // Vulnerable: relies on untrusted client data
    return <AdminPanel />
  }
}

// GOOD: Re-verify every time
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { verifyAdmin } from './auth'

export default async function Page() {
  const token = cookies().get('AUTH_TOKEN')
  const isAdmin = await verifyAdmin(token)

  if (isAdmin) {
    return <AdminPanel />
  }
}
```

### Authentication and authorization

You should always ensure that a user is authorized to perform an action. For example:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts"
'use server'

import { auth } from './lib'

export function addItem() {
  const { user } = auth()
  if (!user) {
    throw new Error('You must be signed in to perform this action')
  }

  // ...
}
```

Learn more about [Authentication](/docs/app/guides/authentication.md) in Next.js.

### Closures and encryption

Defining a Server Action inside a component creates a [closure](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Closures) where the action has access to the outer function's scope. For example, the `publish` action has access to the `publishVersion` variable:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const publishVersion = await getLatestVersion();

  async function publish() {
    "use server";
    if (publishVersion !== await getLatestVersion()) {
      throw new Error('The version has changed since pressing publish');
    }
    ...
  }

  return (
    <form>
      <button formAction={publish}>Publish</button>
    </form>
  );
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const publishVersion = await getLatestVersion();

  async function publish() {
    "use server";
    if (publishVersion !== await getLatestVersion()) {
      throw new Error('The version has changed since pressing publish');
    }
    ...
  }

  return (
    <form>
      <button formAction={publish}>Publish</button>
    </form>
  );
}
```

Closures are useful when you need to capture a *snapshot* of data (e.g. `publishVersion`) at the time of rendering so that it can be used later when the action is invoked.

However, for this to happen, the captured variables are sent to the client and back to the server when the action is invoked. To prevent sensitive data from being exposed to the client, Next.js automatically encrypts the closed-over variables. A new private key is generated for each action every time a Next.js application is built. This means actions can only be invoked for a specific build.

> **Good to know:** We don't recommend relying on encryption alone to prevent sensitive values from being exposed on the client.

### Overwriting encryption keys (advanced)

When self-hosting your Next.js application across multiple servers, each server instance may end up with a different encryption key, leading to potential inconsistencies.

To mitigate this, you can overwrite the encryption key using the `process.env.NEXT_SERVER_ACTIONS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable. Specifying this variable ensures that your encryption keys are persistent across builds, and all server instances use the same key. This variable **must** be AES-GCM encrypted.

This is an advanced use case where consistent encryption behavior across multiple deployments is critical for your application. You should consider standard security practices such key rotation and signing.

> **Good to know:** Next.js applications deployed to Vercel automatically handle this.

### Allowed origins (advanced)

Since Server Actions can be invoked in a `<form>` element, this opens them up to [CSRF attacks](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/CSRF).

Behind the scenes, Server Actions use the `POST` method, and only this HTTP method is allowed to invoke them. This prevents most CSRF vulnerabilities in modern browsers, particularly with [SameSite cookies](https://web.dev/articles/samesite-cookies-explained) being the default.

As an additional protection, Server Actions in Next.js also compare the [Origin header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Origin) to the [Host header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Host) (or `X-Forwarded-Host`). If these don't match, the request will be aborted. In other words, Server Actions can only be invoked on the same host as the page that hosts it.

For large applications that use reverse proxies or multi-layered backend architectures (where the server API differs from the production domain), it's recommended to use the configuration option [`serverActions.allowedOrigins`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverActions.md) option to specify a list of safe origins. The option accepts an array of strings.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: {
      allowedOrigins: ['my-proxy.com', '*.my-proxy.com'],
    },
  },
}
```

Learn more about [Security and Server Actions](https://nextjs.org/blog/security-nextjs-server-components-actions).

### Avoiding side-effects during rendering

Mutations (e.g. logging out users, updating databases, invalidating caches) should never be a side-effect, either in Server or Client Components. Next.js explicitly prevents setting cookies or triggering cache revalidation within render methods to avoid unintended side effects.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// BAD: Triggering a mutation during rendering
export default async function Page({ searchParams }) {
  if (searchParams.get('logout')) {
    cookies().delete('AUTH_TOKEN')
  }

  return <UserProfile />
}
```

Instead, you should use Server Actions to handle mutations.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// GOOD: Using Server Actions to handle mutations
import { logout } from './actions'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <UserProfile />
      <form action={logout}>
        <button type="submit">Logout</button>
      </form>
    </>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** Next.js uses `POST` requests to handle mutations. This prevents accidental side-effects from GET requests, reducing Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) risks.

## Auditing

If you're doing an audit of a Next.js project, here are a few things we recommend looking extra at:

* **Data Access Layer:** Is there an established practice for an isolated Data Access Layer? Verify that database packages and environment variables are not imported outside the Data Access Layer.
* **`"use client"` files:** Are the Component props expecting private data? Are the type signatures overly broad?
* **`"use server"` files:** Are the Action arguments validated in the action or inside the Data Access Layer? Is the user re-authorized inside the action?
* **`/[param]/.`** Folders with brackets are user input. Are params validated?
* **`proxy.ts` and `route.ts`:** Have a lot of power. Spend extra time auditing these using traditional techniques. Perform Penetration Testing or Vulnerability Scanning regularly or in alignment with your team's software development lifecycle.

# How to use debugging tools with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This documentation explains how you can debug your Next.js frontend and backend code with full source maps support using the [VS Code debugger](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging), [Chrome DevTools](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools), or [Firefox DevTools](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/).

Any debugger that can attach to Node.js can also be used to debug a Next.js application. You can find more details in the Node.js [Debugging Guide](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/).

## Debugging with VS Code

Create a file named `.vscode/launch.json` at the root of your project with the following content:

```json filename="launch.json"
{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug server-side",
      "type": "node-terminal",
      "request": "launch",
      "command": "npm run dev -- --inspect"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug client-side",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug client-side (Firefox)",

}
```

> **Note**: To use Firefox debugging in VS Code, you'll need to install the [Firefox Debugger extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=firefox-devtools.vscode-firefox-debug).

`npm run dev` can be replaced with `yarn dev` if you're using Yarn or `pnpm dev` if you're using pnpm.

In the "Next.js: debug full stack" configuration, `serverReadyAction.action` specifies which browser to open when the server is ready. `debugWithEdge` means to launch the Edge browser. If you are using Chrome, change this value to `debugWithChrome`.

If you're [changing the port number](/docs/pages/api-reference/cli/next.md#next-dev-options) your application starts on, replace the `3000` in `http://localhost:3000` with the port you're using instead.

If you're running Next.js from a directory other than root (for example, if you're using Turborepo) then you need to add `cwd` to the server-side and full stack debugging tasks. For example, `"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/apps/web"`.

Now go to the Debug panel (`Ctrl+Shift+D` on Windows/Linux, `⇧+⌘+D` on macOS), select a launch configuration, then press `F5` or select **Debug: Start Debugging** from the Command Palette to start your debugging session.

## Using the Debugger in Jetbrains WebStorm

Click the drop down menu listing the runtime configuration, and click `Edit Configurations...`. Create a `JavaScript Debug` debug configuration with `http://localhost:3000` as the URL. Customize to your liking (e.g. Browser for debugging, store as project file), and click `OK`. Run this debug configuration, and the selected browser should automatically open. At this point, you should have 2 applications in debug mode: the NextJS node application, and the client/browser application.

## Debugging with Browser DevTools

### Client-side code

Start your development server as usual by running `next dev`, `npm run dev`, or `yarn dev`. Once the server starts, open `http://localhost:3000` (or your alternate URL) in your preferred browser.

For Chrome:

* Open Chrome's Developer Tools (`Ctrl+Shift+J` on Windows/Linux, `⌥+⌘+I` on macOS)
* Go to the **Sources** tab

For Firefox:

* Open Firefox's Developer Tools (`Ctrl+Shift+I` on Windows/Linux, `⌥+⌘+I` on macOS)
* Go to the **Debugger** tab

In either browser, any time your client-side code reaches a [`debugger`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/debugger) statement, code execution will pause and that file will appear in the debug area. You can also search for files to set breakpoints manually:

* In Chrome: Press `Ctrl+P` on Windows/Linux or `⌘+P` on macOS
* In Firefox: Press `Ctrl+P` on Windows/Linux or `⌘+P` on macOS, or use the file tree in the left panel

Note that when searching, your source files will have paths starting with `webpack://_N_E/./`.

### React Developer Tools

For React-specific debugging, install the [React Developer Tools](https://react.dev/learn/react-developer-tools) browser extension. This essential tool helps you:

* Inspect React components
* Edit props and state
* Identify performance problems

### Server-side code

To debug server-side Next.js code with browser DevTools, you need to pass the `--inspect` flag:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next dev --inspect
```

The value of `--inspect` is passed to the underlying Node.js process. Check out the [`--inspect` docs for advanced use cases](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#--inspecthostport).

> **Good to know**: Use `--inspect=0.0.0.0` to allow remote debugging access outside localhost, such as when running the app in a Docker container.

Launching the Next.js dev server with the `--inspect` flag will look something like this:

```bash filename="Terminal"
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/0cf90313-350d-4466-a748-cd60f4e47c95
For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
ready - started server on 0.0.0.0:3000, url: http://localhost:3000
```

For Chrome:

1. Open a new tab and visit `chrome://inspect`
2. Look for your Next.js application in the **Remote Target** section
3. Click **inspect** to open a separate DevTools window
4. Go to the **Sources** tab

For Firefox:

1. Open a new tab and visit `about:debugging`
2. Click **This Firefox** in the left sidebar
3. Under **Remote Targets**, find your Next.js application
4. Click **Inspect** to open the debugger
5. Go to the **Debugger** tab

Debugging server-side code works similarly to client-side debugging. When searching for files (`Ctrl+P`/`⌘+P`), your source files will have paths starting with `webpack://{application-name}/./` (where `{application-name}` will be replaced with the name of your application according to your `package.json` file).

To use `--inspect-brk` or `--inspect-wait`, you have to specify `NODE_OPTIONS` instead. e.g. `NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect-brk next dev`.

### Inspect Server Errors with Browser DevTools

When you encounter an error, inspecting the source code can help trace the root cause of errors.

Next.js will display a Node.js icon underneath the Next.js version indicator on the error overlay. By clicking that icon, the DevTools URL is copied to your clipboard. You can open a new browser tab with that URL to inspect the Next.js server process.

### Debugging on Windows

Ensure Windows Defender is disabled on your machine. This external service will check *every file read*, which has been reported to greatly increase Fast Refresh time with `next dev`. This is a known issue, not related to Next.js, but it does affect Next.js development.

## More information

To learn more about how to use a JavaScript debugger, take a look at the following documentation:

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md

# default.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `default.js` file is used to render a fallback within [Parallel Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md) when Next.js cannot recover a [slot's](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md#slots) active state after a full-page load.

During [soft navigation](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions), Next.js keeps track of the active *state* (subpage) for each slot. However, for hard navigations (full-page load), Next.js cannot recover the active state. In this case, a `default.js` file can be rendered for subpages that don't match the current URL.

Consider the following folder structure. The `@team` slot has a `settings` page, but `@analytics` does not.

![Parallel Routes unmatched routes](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-unmatched-routes.png)

When navigating to `/settings`, the `@team` slot will render the `settings` page while maintaining the currently active page for the `@analytics` slot.

On refresh, Next.js will render a `default.js` for `@analytics`. If `default.js` doesn't exist, an error is returned for named slots (`@team`, `@analytics`, etc) and requires you to define a `default.js` in order to continue. If you want to preserve the old behavior of returning a 404 in these situations, you can create a `default.js` that contains:

```tsx filename="app/@team/default.js"
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Default() {
  notFound()
}
```

Additionally, since `children` is an implicit slot, you also need to create a `default.js` file to render a fallback for `children` when Next.js cannot recover the active state of the parent page. If you don't create a `default.js` for the `children` slot, it will return a 404 page for the route.

## Reference

### `params` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) from the root segment down to the slot's subpages. For example:

```tsx filename="app/[artist]/@sidebar/default.js" switcher
export default async function Default({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ artist: string }>
}) {
  const { artist } = await params
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[artist]/@sidebar/default.js" switcher
export default async function Default({ params }) {
  const { artist } = await params
}
```

| Example                                    | URL          | `params`                                     |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| `app/[artist]/@sidebar/default.js`         | `/zack`      | `Promise<{ artist: 'zack' }>`                |
| `app/[artist]/[album]/@sidebar/default.js` | `/zack/next` | `Promise<{ artist: 'zack', album: 'next' }>` |

* Since the `params` prop is a promise. You must use `async/await` or React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function to access the values.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `params` was a synchronous prop. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.

# Deploying
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js can be deployed as a Node.js server, Docker container, static export, or adapted to run on different platforms.

| Deployment Option                | Feature Support   |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| [Node.js server](#nodejs-server) | All               |
| [Docker container](#docker)      | All               |
| [Static export](#static-export)  | Limited           |
| [Adapters](#adapters)            | Platform-specific |

## Node.js server

Next.js can be deployed to any provider that supports Node.js. Ensure your `package.json` has the `"build"` and `"start"` scripts:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
```

Then, run `npm run build` to build your application and `npm run start` to start the Node.js server. This server supports all Next.js features. If needed, you can also eject to a [custom server](/docs/app/guides/custom-server.md).

Node.js deployments support all Next.js features. Learn how to [configure them](/docs/app/guides/self-hosting.md) for your infrastructure.

### Templates

* [Flightcontrol](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-flightcontrol)
* [Railway](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-railway)
* [Replit](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-replit)

## Docker

Next.js can be deployed to any provider that supports [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers. This includes container orchestrators like Kubernetes or a cloud provider that runs Docker.

Docker deployments support all Next.js features. Learn how to [configure them](/docs/app/guides/self-hosting.md) for your infrastructure.

> **Note for development:** While Docker is excellent for production deployments, consider using local development (`npm run dev`) instead of Docker during development on Mac and Windows for better performance. [Learn more about optimizing local development](/docs/app/guides/local-development.md).

### Templates

* [Docker](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-docker)
* [Docker Multi-Environment](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-docker-multi-env)
* [DigitalOcean](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-digitalocean)
* [Fly.io](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-fly)
* [Google Cloud Run](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-google-cloud-run)
* [Render](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-render)
* [SST](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-sst)

## Static export

Next.js enables starting as a static site or [Single-Page Application (SPA)](/docs/app/guides/single-page-applications.md), then later optionally upgrading to use features that require a server.

Since Next.js supports [static exports](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md), it can be deployed and hosted on any web server that can serve HTML/CSS/JS static assets. This includes tools like AWS S3, Nginx, or Apache.

Running as a [static export](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md) **does not** support Next.js features that require a server. [Learn more](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md#unsupported-features).

### Templates

* [GitHub Pages](https://github.com/nextjs/deploy-github-pages)

## Adapters

Next.js can be adapted to run on different platforms to support their infrastructure capabilities.

Refer to each provider's documentation for information on supported Next.js features:

* [Appwrite Sites](https://appwrite.io/docs/products/sites/quick-start/nextjs)
* [AWS Amplify Hosting](https://docs.amplify.aws/nextjs/start/quickstart/nextjs-app-router-client-components)
* [Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/frameworks/framework-guides/nextjs)
* [Deno Deploy](https://docs.deno.com/examples/next_tutorial)
* [Netlify](https://docs.netlify.com/frameworks/next-js/overview/#next-js-support-on-netlify)
* [Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs)

> **Note:** We are working on a [Deployment Adapters API](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/77740) for all platforms to adopt. After completion, we will add documentation on how to write your own adapters.

# devIndicators
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`devIndicators` allows you to configure the on-screen indicator that gives context about the current route you're viewing during development.

```ts filename="Types"
  devIndicators: false | {
    position?: 'bottom-right'
    | 'bottom-left'
    | 'top-right'
    | 'top-left', // defaults to 'bottom-left',
  },
```

Setting `devIndicators` to `false` will hide the indicator, however Next.js will continue to surface any build or runtime errors that were encountered.

## Troubleshooting

### Indicator not marking a route as static

If you expect a route to be static and the indicator has marked it as dynamic, it's likely the route has opted out of static rendering.

You can confirm if a route is [static](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) or [dynamic](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) by building your application using `next build --debug`, and checking the output in your terminal. Static (or prerendered) routes will display a `○` symbol, whereas dynamic routes will display a `ƒ` symbol. For example:

```bash filename="Build Output"
Route (app)
┌ ○ /_not-found
└ ƒ /products/[id]

○  (Static)   prerendered as static content
ƒ  (Dynamic)  server-rendered on demand
```

There are two reasons a route might opt out of static rendering:

* The presence of [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) which rely on runtime information.
* An [uncached data request](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md), like a call to an ORM or database driver.

Check your route for any of these conditions, and if you are not able to statically render the route, then consider using [`loading.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) or [`<Suspense />`](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense) to leverage [streaming](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#streaming).

@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can specify a name to use for a custom build directory to use instead of `.next`.

Open `next.config.js` and add the `distDir` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  distDir: 'build',
}
```

Now if you run `next build` Next.js will use `build` instead of the default `.next` folder.

> `distDir` **should not** leave your project directory. For example, `../build` is an **invalid** directory.

# How to preview content with Draft Mode in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


**Draft Mode** allows you to preview draft content from your headless CMS in your Next.js application. This is useful for static pages that are generated at build time as it allows you to switch to [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) and see the draft changes without having to rebuild your entire site.

This page walks through how to enable and use Draft Mode.

## Step 1: Create a Route Handler

Create a [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md). It can have any name, for example, `app/api/draft/route.ts`.

```ts filename="app/api/draft/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {
  return new Response('')
}
```

```js filename="app/api/draft/route.js" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return new Response('')
}
```

Then, import the [`draftMode`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/draft-mode.md) function and call the `enable()` method.

```ts filename="app/api/draft/route.ts" switcher
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const draft = await draftMode()
  draft.enable()
  return new Response('Draft mode is enabled')
}
```

```js filename="app/api/draft/route.js" switcher
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request) {
  const draft = await draftMode()
  draft.enable()
  return new Response('Draft mode is enabled')
}
```

This will set a **cookie** to enable draft mode. Subsequent requests containing this cookie will trigger draft mode and change the behavior of statically generated pages.

You can test this manually by visiting `/api/draft` and looking at your browser’s developer tools. Notice the `Set-Cookie` response header with a cookie named `__prerender_bypass`.

## Step 2: Access the Route Handler from your Headless CMS

> These steps assume that the headless CMS you’re using supports setting **custom draft URLs**. If it doesn’t, you can still use this method to secure your draft URLs, but you’ll need to construct and access the draft URL manually. The specific steps will vary depending on which headless CMS you’re using.

To securely access the Route Handler from your headless CMS:

1. Create a **secret token string** using a token generator of your choice. This secret will only be known by your Next.js app and your headless CMS.
2. If your headless CMS supports setting custom draft URLs, specify a draft URL (this assumes that your Route Handler is located at `app/api/draft/route.ts`). For example:

```bash filename="Terminal"
https://<your-site>/api/draft?secret=<token>&slug=<path>
```

> * `<your-site>` should be your deployment domain.
> * `<token>` should be replaced with the secret token you generated.
> * `<path>` should be the path for the page that you want to view. If you want to view `/posts/one`, then you should use `&slug=/posts/one`.
>
> Your headless CMS might allow you to include a variable in the draft URL so that `<path>` can be set dynamically based on the CMS’s data like so: `&slug=/posts/{entry.fields.slug}`

3. In your Route Handler, check that the secret matches and that the `slug` parameter exists (if not, the request should fail), call `draftMode.enable()` to set the cookie. Then, redirect the browser to the path specified by `slug`:

```ts filename="app/api/draft/route.ts" switcher
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  // Parse query string parameters
  const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url)
  const secret = searchParams.get('secret')
  const slug = searchParams.get('slug')

  // Check the secret and next parameters
  // This secret should only be known to this Route Handler and the CMS
  if (secret !== 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN' || !slug) {
    return new Response('Invalid token', { status: 401 })
  }

  // Fetch the headless CMS to check if the provided `slug` exists
  // getPostBySlug would implement the required fetching logic to the headless CMS
  const post = await getPostBySlug(slug)

  // If the slug doesn't exist prevent draft mode from being enabled
  if (!post) {
    return new Response('Invalid slug', { status: 401 })
  }

  // Enable Draft Mode by setting the cookie
  const draft = await draftMode()
  draft.enable()

  // Redirect to the path from the fetched post
  // We don't redirect to searchParams.slug as that might lead to open redirect vulnerabilities
  redirect(post.slug)
}
```

```js filename="app/api/draft/route.js" switcher
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request) {
  // Parse query string parameters
  const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url)
  const secret = searchParams.get('secret')
  const slug = searchParams.get('slug')

  // Check the secret and next parameters
  // This secret should only be known to this Route Handler and the CMS
  if (secret !== 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN' || !slug) {
    return new Response('Invalid token', { status: 401 })
  }

  // Fetch the headless CMS to check if the provided `slug` exists
  // getPostBySlug would implement the required fetching logic to the headless CMS
  const post = await getPostBySlug(slug)

  // If the slug doesn't exist prevent draft mode from being enabled
  if (!post) {
    return new Response('Invalid slug', { status: 401 })
  }

  // Enable Draft Mode by setting the cookie
  const draft = await draftMode()
  draft.enable()

  // Redirect to the path from the fetched post
  // We don't redirect to searchParams.slug as that might lead to open redirect vulnerabilities
  redirect(post.slug)
}
```

If it succeeds, then the browser will be redirected to the path you want to view with the draft mode cookie.

## Step 3: Preview the Draft Content

The next step is to update your page to check the value of `draftMode().isEnabled`.

If you request a page which has the cookie set, then data will be fetched at **request time** (instead of at build time).

Furthermore, the value of `isEnabled` will be `true`.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
// page that fetches data
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'

async function getData() {
  const { isEnabled } = await draftMode()

  const url = isEnabled
    ? 'https://draft.example.com'
    : 'https://production.example.com'

  const res = await fetch(url)

  return res.json()
}

export default async function Page() {
  const { title, desc } = await getData()

  return (
    <main>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <p>{desc}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
// page that fetches data
import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'

async function getData() {
  const { isEnabled } = await draftMode()

  const url = isEnabled
    ? 'https://draft.example.com'
    : 'https://production.example.com'

  const res = await fetch(url)

  return res.json()
}

export default async function Page() {
  const { title, desc } = await getData()

  return (
    <main>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <p>{desc}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

If you access the draft Route Handler (with `secret` and `slug`) from your headless CMS or manually using the URL, you should now be able to see the draft content. And, if you update your draft without publishing, you should be able to view the draft.

# Dynamic Route Segments
@doc-version: 16.0.4


When you don't know the exact route segment names ahead of time and want to create routes from dynamic data, you can use Dynamic Segments that are filled in at request time or prerendered at build time.

## Convention

A Dynamic Segment can be created by wrapping a folder's name in square brackets: `[folderName]`. For example, a blog could include the following route `app/blog/[slug]/page.js` where `[slug]` is the Dynamic Segment for blog posts.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  return <div>My Post: {slug}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  return <div>My Post: {slug}</div>
}
```

Dynamic Segments are passed as the `params` prop to [`layout`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), [`page`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md), [`route`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [`generateMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#generatemetadata-function) functions.

| Route                     | Example URL | `params`        |
| ------------------------- | ----------- | --------------- |
| `app/blog/[slug]/page.js` | `/blog/a`   | `{ slug: 'a' }` |
| `app/blog/[slug]/page.js` | `/blog/b`   | `{ slug: 'b' }` |
| `app/blog/[slug]/page.js` | `/blog/c`   | `{ slug: 'c' }` |

### In Client Components

In a Client Component **page**, dynamic segments from props can be accessed using the [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) hook.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'

export default function BlogPostPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = use(params)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{slug}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'
import { useParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function BlogPostPage({ params }) {
  const { slug } = use(params)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{slug}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Alternatively Client Components can use the [`useParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-params.md) hook to access the `params` anywhere in the Client Component tree.

### Catch-all Segments

Dynamic Segments can be extended to **catch-all** subsequent segments by adding an ellipsis inside the brackets `[...folderName]`.

For example, `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js` will match `/shop/clothes`, but also `/shop/clothes/tops`, `/shop/clothes/tops/t-shirts`, and so on.

| Route                        | Example URL   | `params`                    |
| ---------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------- |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js` | `/shop/a`     | `{ slug: ['a'] }`           |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js` | `/shop/a/b`   | `{ slug: ['a', 'b'] }`      |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js` | `/shop/a/b/c` | `{ slug: ['a', 'b', 'c'] }` |

### Optional Catch-all Segments

Catch-all Segments can be made **optional** by including the parameter in double square brackets: `[[...folderName]]`.

For example, `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js` will **also** match `/shop`, in addition to `/shop/clothes`, `/shop/clothes/tops`, `/shop/clothes/tops/t-shirts`.

The difference between **catch-all** and **optional catch-all** segments is that with optional, the route without the parameter is also matched (`/shop` in the example above).

| Route                          | Example URL   | `params`                    |
| ------------------------------ | ------------- | --------------------------- |
| `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js` | `/shop`       | `{ slug: undefined }`       |
| `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js` | `/shop/a`     | `{ slug: ['a'] }`           |
| `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js` | `/shop/a/b`   | `{ slug: ['a', 'b'] }`      |
| `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js` | `/shop/a/b/c` | `{ slug: ['a', 'b', 'c'] }` |

### TypeScript

When using TypeScript, you can add types for `params` depending on your configured route segment — use [`PageProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#page-props-helper), [`LayoutProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#layout-props-helper), or [`RouteContext<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#route-context-helper) to type `params` in `page`, `layout`, and `route` respectively.

Route `params` values are typed as `string`, `string[]`, or `undefined` (for optional catch-all segments), because their values aren't known until runtime. Users can enter any URL into the address bar, and these broad types help ensure that your application code handles all these possible cases.

| Route                               | `params` Type Definition                 |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `app/blog/[slug]/page.js`           | `{ slug: string }`                       |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js`        | `{ slug: string[] }`                     |
| `app/shop/[[...slug]]/page.js`      | `{ slug?: string[] }`                    |
| `app/[categoryId]/[itemId]/page.js` | `{ categoryId: string, itemId: string }` |

If you're working on a route where `params` can only have a fixed number of valid values, such as a `[locale]` param with a known set of language codes, you can use runtime validation to handle any invalid params a user may enter, and let the rest of your application work with the narrower type from your known set.

```tsx filename="/app/[locale]/page.tsx"
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'
import type { Locale } from '@i18n/types'
import { isValidLocale } from '@i18n/utils'

function assertValidLocale(value: string): asserts value is Locale {
  if (!isValidLocale(value)) notFound()
}

export default async function Page(props: PageProps<'/[locale]'>) {
  const { locale } = await props.params // locale is typed as string
  assertValidLocale(locale)
  // locale is now typed as Locale
}
```

## Behavior

* Since the `params` prop is a promise. You must use `async`/`await` or React's use function to access the values.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `params` was a synchronous prop. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.

## Examples

### With `generateStaticParams`

The [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) function can be used to [statically generate](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) routes at build time instead of on-demand at request time.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

When using `fetch` inside the `generateStaticParams` function, the requests are [automatically deduplicated](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#request-memoization). This avoids multiple network calls for the same data Layouts, Pages, and other `generateStaticParams` functions, speeding up build time.

# Edge Runtime
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js has two server runtimes you can use in your application:

* The **Node.js Runtime** (default), which has access to all Node.js APIs and is used for rendering your application.
* The **Edge Runtime** which contains a more limited [set of APIs](#reference), used in [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md).

## Caveats

* The Edge Runtime does not support all Node.js APIs. Some packages may not work as expected.
* The Edge Runtime does not support Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR).
* Both runtimes can support [streaming](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) depending on your deployment adapter.

## Reference

The Edge Runtime supports the following APIs:

### Next.js Specific Polyfills

* [`AsyncLocalStorage`](https://nodejs.org/api/async_context.html#class-asynclocalstorage)

### Environment Variables

You can use `process.env` to access [Environment Variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md) for both `next dev` and `next build`.

### Unsupported APIs

The Edge Runtime has some restrictions including:

* Native Node.js APIs **are not supported**. For example, you can't read or write to the filesystem.
* `node_modules` *can* be used, as long as they implement ES Modules and do not use native Node.js APIs.
* Calling `require` directly is **not allowed**. Use ES Modules instead.

The following JavaScript language features are disabled, and **will not work:**

| API                                                                                                                             | Description                                                         |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`eval`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/eval)                                       | Evaluates JavaScript code represented as a string                   |
| [`new Function(evalString)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function)               | Creates a new function with the code provided as an argument        |
| [`WebAssembly.compile`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WebAssembly/compile)         | Compiles a WebAssembly module from a buffer source                  |
| [`WebAssembly.instantiate`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WebAssembly/instantiate) | Compiles and instantiates a WebAssembly module from a buffer source |

In rare cases, your code could contain (or import) some dynamic code evaluation statements which *can not be reached at runtime* and which can not be removed by treeshaking.
You can relax the check to allow specific files with your Proxy configuration:

```javascript filename="proxy.ts"
export const config = {
  unstable_allowDynamic: [
    // allows a single file
    '/lib/utilities.js',
    // use a glob to allow anything in the function-bind 3rd party module
    '**/node_modules/function-bind/**',
  ],
}
```

`unstable_allowDynamic` is a [glob](https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch#matching-features), or an array of globs, ignoring dynamic code evaluation for specific files. The globs are relative to your application root folder.

Be warned that if these statements are executed on the Edge, *they will throw and cause a runtime error*.

> This is a legacy API and no longer recommended. It is still supported for backward compatibility.

> Since the release of [Next.js 9.4](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-9-4) we now have a more intuitive and ergonomic experience for [adding environment variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md). Give it a try!

> **Good to know**: environment variables specified in this way will **always** be included in the JavaScript bundle, prefixing the environment variable name with `NEXT_PUBLIC_` only has an effect when specifying them [through the environment or .env files](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md).

To add environment variables to the JavaScript bundle, open `next.config.js` and add the `env` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  env: {
    customKey: 'my-value',
  },
}
```

Now you can access `process.env.customKey` in your code. For example:

```jsx
function Page() {
  return <h1>The value of customKey is: {process.env.customKey}</h1>
}

export default Page
```

Next.js will replace `process.env.customKey` with `'my-value'` at build time. Trying to destructure `process.env` variables won't work due to the nature of webpack [DefinePlugin](https://webpack.js.org/plugins/define-plugin/).

For example, the following line:

```jsx
return <h1>The value of customKey is: {process.env.customKey}</h1>
```

Will end up being:

```jsx
return <h1>The value of customKey is: {'my-value'}</h1>
```

# How to use environment variables in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js comes with built-in support for environment variables, which allows you to do the following:

* [Use `.env` to load environment variables](#loading-environment-variables)
* [Bundle environment variables for the browser by prefixing with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`](#bundling-environment-variables-for-the-browser)

> **Warning:** The default `create-next-app` template ensures all `.env` files are added to your `.gitignore`. You almost never want to commit these files to your repository.

## Loading Environment Variables

Next.js has built-in support for loading environment variables from `.env*` files into `process.env`.

```txt filename=".env"
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=myuser
DB_PASS=mypassword
```

> **Note**: Next.js also supports multiline variables inside of your `.env*` files:
>
> ```bash
> # .env
>
> # you can write with line breaks
> PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
> ...
> Kh9NV...
> ...
> -----END DSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
>
> # or with `\n` inside double quotes
> PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nKh9NV...\n-----END DSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
> ```

> **Note**: If you are using a `/src` folder, please note that Next.js will load the .env files **only** from the parent folder and **not** from the `/src` folder.
> This loads `process.env.DB_HOST`, `process.env.DB_USER`, and `process.env.DB_PASS` into the Node.js environment automatically allowing you to use them in [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md).

For example:

```js filename="app/api/route.js"
export async function GET() {
  const db = await myDB.connect({
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    username: process.env.DB_USER,
    password: process.env.DB_PASS,
  })
  // ...
}
```

### Loading Environment Variables with `@next/env`

If you need to load environment variables outside of the Next.js runtime, such as in a root config file for an ORM or test runner, you can use the `@next/env` package.

This package is used internally by Next.js to load environment variables from `.env*` files.

To use it, install the package and use the `loadEnvConfig` function to load the environment variables:

```bash
npm install @next/env
```

```tsx filename="envConfig.ts" switcher
import { loadEnvConfig } from '@next/env'

const projectDir = process.cwd()
loadEnvConfig(projectDir)
```

```jsx filename="envConfig.js" switcher
import { loadEnvConfig } from '@next/env'

const projectDir = process.cwd()
loadEnvConfig(projectDir)
```

Then, you can import the configuration where needed. For example:

```tsx filename="orm.config.ts" switcher
import './envConfig.ts'

export default defineConfig({
  dbCredentials: {
    connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
})
```

```jsx filename="orm.config.js" switcher
import './envConfig.js'

export default defineConfig({
  dbCredentials: {
    connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  },
})
```

### Referencing Other Variables

Next.js will automatically expand variables that use `$` to reference other variables e.g. `$VARIABLE` inside of your `.env*` files. This allows you to reference other secrets. For example:

```txt filename=".env"
TWITTER_USER=nextjs
TWITTER_URL=https://x.com/$TWITTER_USER
```

In the above example, `process.env.TWITTER_URL` would be set to `https://x.com/nextjs`.

> **Good to know**: If you need to use variable with a `$` in the actual value, it needs to be escaped e.g. `\$`.

## Bundling Environment Variables for the Browser

Non-`NEXT_PUBLIC_` environment variables are only available in the Node.js environment, meaning they aren't accessible to the browser (the client runs in a different *environment*).

In order to make the value of an environment variable accessible in the browser, Next.js can "inline" a value, at build time, into the js bundle that is delivered to the client, replacing all references to `process.env.[variable]` with a hard-coded value. To tell it to do this, you just have to prefix the variable with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`. For example:

```txt filename="Terminal"
NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID=abcdefghijk
```

This will tell Next.js to replace all references to `process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID` in the Node.js environment with the value from the environment in which you run `next build`, allowing you to use it anywhere in your code. It will be inlined into any JavaScript sent to the browser.

> **Note**: After being built, your app will no longer respond to changes to these environment variables. For instance, if you use a Heroku pipeline to promote slugs built in one environment to another environment, or if you build and deploy a single Docker image to multiple environments, all `NEXT_PUBLIC_` variables will be frozen with the value evaluated at build time, so these values need to be set appropriately when the project is built. If you need access to runtime environment values, you'll have to setup your own API to provide them to the client (either on demand or during initialization).

```js filename="pages/index.js"
import setupAnalyticsService from '../lib/my-analytics-service'

// 'NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID' can be used here as it's prefixed by 'NEXT_PUBLIC_'.
// It will be transformed at build time to `setupAnalyticsService('abcdefghijk')`.
setupAnalyticsService(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID)

function HomePage() {
  return <h1>Hello World</h1>
}

export default HomePage
```

Note that dynamic lookups will *not* be inlined, such as:

```js
// This will NOT be inlined, because it uses a variable
const varName = 'NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID'
setupAnalyticsService(process.env[varName])

// This will NOT be inlined, because it uses a variable
const env = process.env
setupAnalyticsService(env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID)
```

### Runtime Environment Variables

Next.js can support both build time and runtime environment variables.

**By default, environment variables are only available on the server**. To expose an environment variable to the browser, it must be prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`. However, these public environment variables will be inlined into the JavaScript bundle during `next build`.

You can safely read environment variables on the server during dynamic rendering:

```tsx filename="app/page.ts" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Component() {
  await connection()
  // cookies, headers, and other Dynamic APIs
  // will also opt into dynamic rendering, meaning
  // this env variable is evaluated at runtime
  const value = process.env.MY_VALUE
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Component() {
  await connection()
  // cookies, headers, and other Dynamic APIs
  // will also opt into dynamic rendering, meaning
  // this env variable is evaluated at runtime
  const value = process.env.MY_VALUE
  // ...
}
```

This allows you to use a singular Docker image that can be promoted through multiple environments with different values.

**Good to know:**

* You can run code on server startup using the [`register` function](/docs/app/guides/instrumentation.md).

## Test Environment Variables

Apart from `development` and `production` environments, there is a 3rd option available: `test`. In the same way you can set defaults for development or production environments, you can do the same with a `.env.test` file for the `testing` environment (though this one is not as common as the previous two). Next.js will not load environment variables from `.env.development` or `.env.production` in the `testing` environment.

This one is useful when running tests with tools like `jest` or `cypress` where you need to set specific environment vars only for testing purposes. Test default values will be loaded if `NODE_ENV` is set to `test`, though you usually don't need to do this manually as testing tools will address it for you.

There is a small difference between `test` environment, and both `development` and `production` that you need to bear in mind: `.env.local` won't be loaded, as you expect tests to produce the same results for everyone. This way every test execution will use the same env defaults across different executions by ignoring your `.env.local` (which is intended to override the default set).

> **Good to know**: similar to Default Environment Variables, `.env.test` file should be included in your repository, but `.env.test.local` shouldn't, as `.env*.local` are intended to be ignored through `.gitignore`.

While running unit tests you can make sure to load your environment variables the same way Next.js does by leveraging the `loadEnvConfig` function from the `@next/env` package.

```js
// The below can be used in a Jest global setup file or similar for your testing set-up
import { loadEnvConfig } from '@next/env'

export default async () => {
  const projectDir = process.cwd()
  loadEnvConfig(projectDir)
}
```

## Environment Variable Load Order

Environment variables are looked up in the following places, in order, stopping once the variable is found.

1. `process.env`
2. `.env.$(NODE_ENV).local`
3. `.env.local` (Not checked when `NODE_ENV` is `test`.)
4. `.env.$(NODE_ENV)`
5. `.env`

For example, if `NODE_ENV` is `development` and you define a variable in both `.env.development.local` and `.env`, the value in `.env.development.local` will be used.

> **Good to know**: The allowed values for `NODE_ENV` are `production`, `development` and `test`.

## Good to know

* If you are using a [`/src` directory](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/src-folder.md), `.env.*` files should remain in the root of your project.
* If the environment variable `NODE_ENV` is unassigned, Next.js automatically assigns `development` when running the `next dev` command, or `production` for all other commands.

# Error Handling
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Errors can be divided into two categories: [expected errors](#handling-expected-errors) and [uncaught exceptions](#handling-uncaught-exceptions). This page will walk you through how you can handle these errors in your Next.js application.

## Handling expected errors

Expected errors are those that can occur during the normal operation of the application, such as those from [server-side form validation](/docs/app/guides/forms.md) or failed requests. These errors should be handled explicitly and returned to the client.

### Server Functions

You can use the [`useActionState`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useActionState) hook to handle expected errors in [Server Functions](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions).

For these errors, avoid using `try`/`catch` blocks and throw errors. Instead, model expected errors as return values.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost(prevState: any, formData: FormData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  const res = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/posts', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: { title, content },
  })
  const json = await res.json()

  if (!res.ok) {
    return { message: 'Failed to create post' }
  }
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost(prevState, formData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  const res = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/posts', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: { title, content },
  })
  const json = await res.json()

  if (!res.ok) {
    return { message: 'Failed to create post' }
  }
}
```

You can pass your action to the `useActionState` hook and use the returned `state` to display an error message.

```tsx filename="app/ui/form.tsx" highlight={11,19} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

const initialState = {
  message: '',
}

export function Form() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createPost, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      <label htmlFor="title">Title</label>
      <input type="text" id="title" name="title" required />
      <label htmlFor="content">Content</label>
      <textarea id="content" name="content" required />
      {state?.message && <p aria-live="polite">{state.message}</p>}
      <button disabled={pending}>Create Post</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/form.js" highlight={11,19} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

const initialState = {
  message: '',
}

export function Form() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createPost, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      <label htmlFor="title">Title</label>
      <input type="text" id="title" name="title" required />
      <label htmlFor="content">Content</label>
      <textarea id="content" name="content" required />
      {state?.message && <p aria-live="polite">{state.message}</p>}
      <button disabled={pending}>Create Post</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

### Server Components

When fetching data inside of a Server Component, you can use the response to conditionally render an error message or [`redirect`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md).

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`)
  const data = await res.json()

  if (!res.ok) {
    return 'There was an error.'
  }

  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const res = await fetch(`https://...`)
  const data = await res.json()

  if (!res.ok) {
    return 'There was an error.'
  }

  return '...'
}
```

### Not found

You can call the [`notFound`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) function within a route segment and use the [`not-found.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md) file to show a 404 UI.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getPostBySlug } from '@/lib/posts'

export default async function Page({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const post = getPostBySlug(slug)

  if (!post) {
    notFound()
  }

  return <div>{post.title}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
import { getPostBySlug } from '@/lib/posts'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const post = getPostBySlug(slug)

  if (!post) {
    notFound()
  }

  return <div>{post.title}</div>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/not-found.tsx" switcher
export default function NotFound() {
  return <div>404 - Page Not Found</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/not-found.js" switcher
export default function NotFound() {
  return <div>404 - Page Not Found</div>
}
```

## Handling uncaught exceptions

Uncaught exceptions are unexpected errors that indicate bugs or issues that should not occur during the normal flow of your application. These should be handled by throwing errors, which will then be caught by error boundaries.

### Nested error boundaries

Next.js uses error boundaries to handle uncaught exceptions. Error boundaries catch errors in their child components and display a fallback UI instead of the component tree that crashed.

Create an error boundary by adding an [`error.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/error.md) file inside a route segment and exporting a React component:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/error.tsx" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

import { useEffect } from 'react'

export default function Error({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string }
  reset: () => void
}) {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Log the error to an error reporting service
    console.error(error)
  }, [error])

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
      <button
        onClick={
          // Attempt to recover by trying to re-render the segment
          () => reset()
        }
      >
        Try again
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/error.js" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

import { useEffect } from 'react'

export default function Error({ error, reset }) {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Log the error to an error reporting service
    console.error(error)
  }, [error])

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
      <button
        onClick={
          // Attempt to recover by trying to re-render the segment
          () => reset()
        }
      >
        Try again
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Errors will bubble up to the nearest parent error boundary. This allows for granular error handling by placing `error.tsx` files at different levels in the [route hierarchy](/docs/app/getting-started/project-structure.md#component-hierarchy).

![Nested Error Component Hierarchy](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/nested-error-component-hierarchy.png)

Error boundaries don’t catch errors inside event handlers. They’re designed to catch errors [during rendering](https://react.dev/reference/react/Component#static-getderivedstatefromerror) to show a **fallback UI** instead of crashing the whole app.

In general, errors in event handlers or async code aren’t handled by error boundaries because they run after rendering.

To handle these cases, catch the error manually and store it using `useState` or `useReducer`, then update the UI to inform the user.

```tsx
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export function Button() {
  const [error, setError] = useState(null)

  const handleClick = () => {
    try {
      // do some work that might fail
      throw new Error('Exception')
    } catch (reason) {
      setError(reason)
    }
  }

  if (error) {
    /* render fallback UI */
  }

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
      Click me
    </button>
  )
}
```

Note that unhandled errors inside `startTransition` from `useTransition`, will bubble up to the nearest error boundary.

```tsx
'use client'

import { useTransition } from 'react'

export function Button() {
  const [pending, startTransition] = useTransition()

  const handleClick = () =>
    startTransition(() => {
      throw new Error('Exception')
    })

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
      Click me
    </button>
  )
}
```

### Global errors

While less common, you can handle errors in the root layout using the [`global-error.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/error.md#global-error) file, located in the root app directory, even when leveraging [internationalization](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md). Global error UI must define its own `<html>` and `<body>` tags, since it is replacing the root layout or template when active.

```tsx filename="app/global-error.tsx" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function GlobalError({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string }
  reset: () => void
}) {
  return (
    // global-error must include html and body tags
    <html>
      <body>
        <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
        <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/global-error.js" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function GlobalError({ error, reset }) {
  return (
    // global-error must include html and body tags
    <html>
      <body>
        <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
        <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

}
```

`error.js` wraps a route segment and its nested children in a [React Error Boundary](https://react.dev/reference/react/Component#catching-rendering-errors-with-an-error-boundary). When an error throws within the boundary, the `error` component shows as the fallback UI.

![How error.js works](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/error-overview.png)

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The [React DevTools](https://react.dev/learn/react-developer-tools) allow you to toggle error boundaries to test error states.
> * If you want errors to bubble up to the parent error boundary, you can `throw` when rendering the `error` component.

## Reference

### Props

#### `error`

An instance of an [`Error`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error) object forwarded to the `error.js` Client Component.

> **Good to know:** During development, the `Error` object forwarded to the client will be serialized and include the `message` of the original error for easier debugging. However, **this behavior is different in production** to avoid leaking potentially sensitive details included in the error to the client.

#### `error.message`

* Errors forwarded from Client Components show the original `Error` message.
* Errors forwarded from Server Components show a generic message with an identifier. This is to prevent leaking sensitive details. You can use the identifier, under `errors.digest`, to match the corresponding server-side logs.

#### `error.digest`

An automatically generated hash of the error thrown. It can be used to match the corresponding error in server-side logs.

#### `reset`

The cause of an error can sometimes be temporary. In these cases, trying again might resolve the issue.

An error component can use the `reset()` function to prompt the user to attempt to recover from the error. When executed, the function will try to re-render the error boundary's contents. If successful, the fallback error component is replaced with the result of the re-render.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/error.tsx" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function Error({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string }
  reset: () => void
}) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
      <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/error.js" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function Error({ error, reset }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
      <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Examples

### Global Error

While less common, you can handle errors in the root layout or template using `global-error.jsx`, located in the root app directory, even when leveraging [internationalization](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md). Global error UI must define its own `<html>` and `<body>` tags, global styles, fonts, or other dependencies that your error page requires. This file replaces the root layout or template when active.

> **Good to know**: Error boundaries must be [Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#using-client-components), which means that [`metadata` and `generateMetadata`](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md) exports are not supported in `global-error.jsx`. As an alternative, you can use the React [`<title>`](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/title) component.

```tsx filename="app/global-error.tsx" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function GlobalError({
  error,
  reset,
}: {
  error: Error & { digest?: string }
  reset: () => void
}) {
  return (
    // global-error must include html and body tags
    <html>
      <body>
        <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
        <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/global-error.js" switcher
'use client' // Error boundaries must be Client Components

export default function GlobalError({ error, reset }) {
  return (
    // global-error must include html and body tags
    <html>
      <body>
        <h2>Something went wrong!</h2>
        <button onClick={() => reset()}>Try again</button>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

### Graceful error recovery with a custom error boundary

When rendering fails on the client, it can be useful to show the last known server rendered UI for a better user experience.

The `GracefullyDegradingErrorBoundary` is an example of a custom error boundary that captures and preserves the current HTML before an error occurs. If a rendering error happens, it re-renders the captured HTML and displays a persistent notification bar to inform the user.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/error.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import React, { Component, ErrorInfo, ReactNode } from 'react'

interface ErrorBoundaryProps {
  children: ReactNode
  onError?: (error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) => void
}

interface ErrorBoundaryState {
  hasError: boolean
}

export class GracefullyDegradingErrorBoundary extends Component<
  ErrorBoundaryProps,
  ErrorBoundaryState
> {
  private contentRef: React.RefObject<HTMLDivElement | null>

  constructor(props: ErrorBoundaryProps) {
    super(props)
    this.state = { hasError: false }
    this.contentRef = React.createRef()
  }

  static getDerivedStateFromError(_: Error): ErrorBoundaryState {
    return { hasError: true }
  }

  componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) {
    if (this.props.onError) {
      this.props.onError(error, errorInfo)
    }
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) {
      // Render the current HTML content without hydration
      return (
        <>
          <div
            ref={this.contentRef}
            suppressHydrationWarning
            dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
              __html: this.contentRef.current?.innerHTML || '',
            }}
          />
          <div className="fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 bg-red-600 text-white py-4 px-6 text-center">
            <p className="font-semibold">
              An error occurred during page rendering
            </p>
          </div>
        </>
      )
    }

    return <div ref={this.contentRef}>{this.props.children}</div>
  }
}

export default GracefullyDegradingErrorBoundary
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/error.js" switcher
'use client'

import React, { Component, createRef } from 'react'

class GracefullyDegradingErrorBoundary extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = { hasError: false }
    this.contentRef = createRef()
  }

  static getDerivedStateFromError(_) {
    return { hasError: true }
  }

  componentDidCatch(error, errorInfo) {
    if (this.props.onError) {
      this.props.onError(error, errorInfo)
    }
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.hasError) {
      // Render the current HTML content without hydration
      return (
        <>
          <div
            ref={this.contentRef}
            suppressHydrationWarning
            dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
              __html: this.contentRef.current?.innerHTML || '',
            }}
          />
          <div className="fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 bg-red-600 text-white py-4 px-6 text-center">
            <p className="font-semibold">
              An error occurred during page rendering
            </p>
          </div>
        </>
      )
    }

    return <div ref={this.contentRef}>{this.props.children}</div>
  }
}

export default GracefullyDegradingErrorBoundary
```

# ESLint Plugin
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js provides an ESLint configuration package, [`eslint-config-next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-config-next), that makes it easy to catch common issues in your application. It includes the [`@next/eslint-plugin-next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/eslint-plugin-next) plugin along with recommended rule-sets from [`eslint-plugin-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react) and [`eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks).

The package provides two main configurations:

* **`eslint-config-next`**: Base configuration with Next.js, React, and React Hooks rules. Supports both JavaScript and TypeScript files.
* **`eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals`**: Includes everything from the base config, plus upgrades rules that impact [Core Web Vitals](https://web.dev/vitals/) from warnings to errors. Recommended for most projects.

Additionally, for TypeScript projects:

* **`eslint-config-next/typescript`**: Adds TypeScript-specific linting rules from [`typescript-eslint`](https://typescript-eslint.io/). Use this alongside the base or core-web-vitals config.

## Setup ESLint

Get linting working quickly with the ESLint CLI (flat config):

1. Install ESLint and the Next.js config:

   ```bash package="pnpm"
   pnpm add -D eslint eslint-config-next
   ```

   ```bash package="npm"
   npm i -D eslint eslint-config-next
   ```

   ```bash package="yarn"
   yarn add --dev eslint eslint-config-next
   ```

   ```bash package="bun"
   bun add -d eslint eslint-config-next
   ```

2. Create `eslint.config.mjs` with the Next.js config:

   ```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
   import { defineConfig, globalIgnores } from 'eslint/config'
   import nextVitals from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'

   const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
     ...nextVitals,
     // Override default ignores of eslint-config-next.
     globalIgnores([
       // Default ignores of eslint-config-next:
       '.next/**',
       'out/**',
       'build/**',
       'next-env.d.ts',
     ]),
   ])

   export default eslintConfig
   ```

3. Run ESLint:

   ```bash package="pnpm"
   pnpm exec eslint .
   ```

   ```bash package="npm"
   npx eslint .
   ```

   ```bash package="yarn"
   yarn eslint .
   ```

   ```bash package="bun"
   bunx eslint .
   ```

## Reference

The `eslint-config-next` package includes the `recommended` rule-sets from the following ESLint plugins:

* [`eslint-plugin-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react)
* [`eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks)
* [`@next/eslint-plugin-next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/eslint-plugin-next)

### Rules

<details>
<summary>`next lint` removal</summary>

Starting with Next.js 16, `next lint` is removed.

As part of the removal, the `eslint` option in your Next config file is no longer needed and can be safely removed.

</details>

## Examples

### Specifying a root directory within a monorepo

If you're using `@next/eslint-plugin-next` in a project where Next.js isn't installed in your root directory (such as a monorepo), you can tell `@next/eslint-plugin-next` where to find your Next.js application using the `settings` property in your `eslint.config.mjs`:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config'
import eslintNextPlugin from '@next/eslint-plugin-next'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  {
    files: ['**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
    plugins: {
      next: eslintNextPlugin,
    },
    settings: {
      next: {
        rootDir: 'packages/my-app/',
      },
    },
  },
])

export default eslintConfig
```

`rootDir` can be a path (relative or absolute), a glob (i.e. `"packages/*/"`), or an array of paths and/or globs.

### Disabling rules

If you would like to modify or disable any rules provided by the supported plugins (`react`, `react-hooks`, `next`), you can directly change them using the `rules` property in your `eslint.config.mjs`:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig, globalIgnores } from 'eslint/config'
import nextVitals from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  ...nextVitals,
  {
    rules: {
      'react/no-unescaped-entities': 'off',
      '@next/next/no-page-custom-font': 'off',
    },
  },
  // Override default ignores of eslint-config-next.
  globalIgnores([
    // Default ignores of eslint-config-next:
    '.next/**',
    'out/**',
    'build/**',
    'next-env.d.ts',
  ]),
])

export default eslintConfig
```

### With Core Web Vitals

Enable the `eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals` configuration in your ESLint config.

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig, globalIgnores } from 'eslint/config'
import nextVitals from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  ...nextVitals,
  // Override default ignores of eslint-config-next.
  globalIgnores([
    // Default ignores of eslint-config-next:
    '.next/**',
    'out/**',
    'build/**',
    'next-env.d.ts',
  ]),
])

export default eslintConfig
```

`eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals` upgrades certain lint rules in `@next/eslint-plugin-next` from warnings to errors to help improve your [Core Web Vitals](https://web.dev/vitals/) metrics.

> The `eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals` configuration is automatically included for new applications built with [Create Next App](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app.md).

### With TypeScript

In addition to the Next.js ESLint rules, `create-next-app --typescript` will also add TypeScript-specific lint rules with `eslint-config-next/typescript` to your config:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig, globalIgnores } from 'eslint/config'
import nextVitals from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'
import nextTs from 'eslint-config-next/typescript'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  ...nextVitals,
  ...nextTs,
  // Override default ignores of eslint-config-next.
  globalIgnores([
    // Default ignores of eslint-config-next:
    '.next/**',
    'out/**',
    'build/**',
    'next-env.d.ts',
  ]),
])

export default eslintConfig
```

Those rules are based on [`plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended`](https://typescript-eslint.io/linting/configs#recommended).
See [typescript-eslint > Configs](https://typescript-eslint.io/linting/configs) for more details.

### With Prettier

ESLint also contains code formatting rules, which can conflict with your existing [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) setup. We recommend including [eslint-config-prettier](https://github.com/prettier/eslint-config-prettier) in your ESLint config to make ESLint and Prettier work together.

First, install the dependency:

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm add -D eslint-config-prettier
```

```bash package="npm"
npm i -D eslint-config-prettier
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add --dev eslint-config-prettier
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add -d eslint-config-prettier
```

Then, add `prettier` to your existing ESLint config:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig, globalIgnores } from 'eslint/config'
import nextVitals from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'
import prettier from 'eslint-config-prettier/flat'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  ...nextVitals,
  prettier,
  // Override default ignores of eslint-config-next.
  globalIgnores([
    // Default ignores of eslint-config-next:
    '.next/**',
    'out/**',
    'build/**',
    'next-env.d.ts',
  ]),
])

export default eslintConfig
```

### Running lint on staged files

If you would like to use ESLint with [lint-staged](https://github.com/okonet/lint-staged) to run the linter on staged git files, add the following to the `.lintstagedrc.js` file in the root of your project:

```js filename=".lintstagedrc.js"
const path = require('path')

const buildEslintCommand = (filenames) =>
  `eslint --fix ${filenames
    .map((f) => `"${path.relative(process.cwd(), f)}"`)
    .join(' ')}`

module.exports = {
  '*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}': [buildEslintCommand],
}
```

## Migrating existing config

If you already have ESLint configured in your application, there are two approaches to integrate Next.js linting rules, depending on your setup.

#### Using the plugin directly

Use `@next/eslint-plugin-next` directly if you have any of the following already configured:

* Conflicting plugins installed separately or through another config (such as `airbnb` or `react-app`):
  * `react`
  * `react-hooks`
  * `jsx-a11y`
  * `import`
* Custom `parserOptions` different from Next.js defaults (only if you have [customized your Babel configuration](/docs/pages/guides/babel.md))
* `eslint-plugin-import` with custom Node.js and/or TypeScript [resolvers](https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import#resolvers)

In these cases, use `@next/eslint-plugin-next` directly to avoid conflicts:

First, install the plugin:

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm add -D @next/eslint-plugin-next
```

```bash package="npm"
npm i -D @next/eslint-plugin-next
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add --dev @next/eslint-plugin-next
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add -d @next/eslint-plugin-next
```

Then add it to your ESLint config:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config'
import nextPlugin from '@next/eslint-plugin-next'

const eslintConfig = defineConfig([
  // Your other configurations...
  {
    files: ['**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}'],
    plugins: {
      '@next/next': nextPlugin,
    },
    rules: {
      ...nextPlugin.configs.recommended.rules,
    },
  },
])

export default eslintConfig
```

This approach eliminates the risk of collisions or errors that can occur when the same plugins or parsers are imported across multiple configurations.

#### Adding to existing config

If you're adding Next.js to an existing ESLint setup, spread the Next.js config into your array:

```js filename="eslint.config.mjs"
import nextConfig from 'eslint-config-next/core-web-vitals'
// Your other config imports...

const eslintConfig = [
  // Your other configurations...
  ...nextConfig,
]

export default eslintConfig
```

When you spread `...nextConfig`, you're adding multiple config objects that include file patterns, plugins, rules, ignores, and parser settings. ESLint applies configs in order, so later rules can override earlier ones for matching files.

> **Good to know:** This approach works well for straightforward setups. If you have a complex existing config with specific file patterns or plugin configurations that conflict, consider using the plugin directly (as shown above) for more granular control.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/expireTime.md

# expireTime
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can specify a custom `stale-while-revalidate` expire time for CDNs to consume in the `Cache-Control` header for ISR enabled pages.

Open `next.config.js` and add the `expireTime` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  // one hour in seconds
  expireTime: 3600,
}
```

Now when sending the `Cache-Control` header the expire time will be calculated depending on the specific revalidate period.

For example, if you have a revalidate of 15 minutes on a path and the expire time is one hour the generated `Cache-Control` header will be `s-maxage=900, stale-while-revalidate=2700` so that it can stay stale for 15 minutes less than the configured expire time.

# exportPathMap
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This is a legacy API and no longer recommended. It is still supported for backward compatibility.

> This feature is exclusive to `next export` and currently **deprecated** in favor of `getStaticPaths` with `pages` or `generateStaticParams` with `app`.

`exportPathMap` allows you to specify a mapping of request paths to page destinations, to be used during export. Paths defined in `exportPathMap` will also be available when using [`next dev`](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/next.md#next-dev-options).

Let's start with an example, to create a custom `exportPathMap` for an app with the following pages:

* `pages/index.js`
* `pages/about.js`
* `pages/post.js`

Open `next.config.js` and add the following `exportPathMap` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  exportPathMap: async function (
    defaultPathMap,
    { dev, dir, outDir, distDir, buildId }
  ) {
    return {
      '/': { page: '/' },
      '/about': { page: '/about' },
      '/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' } },
    }
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: the `query` field in `exportPathMap` cannot be used with [automatically statically optimized pages](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization.md) or [`getStaticProps` pages](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) as they are rendered to HTML files at build-time and additional query information cannot be provided during `next export`.

The pages will then be exported as HTML files, for example, `/about` will become `/about.html`.

`exportPathMap` is an `async` function that receives 2 arguments: the first one is `defaultPathMap`, which is the default map used by Next.js. The second argument is an object with:

* `dev` - `true` when `exportPathMap` is being called in development. `false` when running `next export`. In development `exportPathMap` is used to define routes.
* `dir` - Absolute path to the project directory
* `outDir` - Absolute path to the `out/` directory ([configurable with `-o`](#customizing-the-output-directory)). When `dev` is `true` the value of `outDir` will be `null`.
* `distDir` - Absolute path to the `.next/` directory (configurable with the [`distDir`](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/distDir.md) config)
* `buildId` - The generated build id

The returned object is a map of pages where the `key` is the `pathname` and the `value` is an object that accepts the following fields:

* `page`: `String` - the page inside the `pages` directory to render
* `query`: `Object` - the `query` object passed to `getInitialProps` when prerendering. Defaults to `{}`

> The exported `pathname` can also be a filename (for example, `/readme.md`), but you may need to set the `Content-Type` header to `text/html` when serving its content if it is different than `.html`.

## Adding a trailing slash

It is possible to configure Next.js to export pages as `index.html` files and require trailing slashes, `/about` becomes `/about/index.html` and is routable via `/about/`. This was the default behavior prior to Next.js 9.

To switch back and add a trailing slash, open `next.config.js` and enable the `trailingSlash` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  trailingSlash: true,
}
```

## Customizing the output directory

[`next export`](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md) will use `out` as the default output directory, you can customize this using the `-o` argument, like so:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next export -o outdir
```

> **Warning**: Using `exportPathMap` is deprecated and is overridden by `getStaticPaths` inside `pages`. We don't recommend using them together.

# Fast Refresh
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Fast refresh is a React feature integrated into Next.js that allows you to live reload the browser page while maintaining temporary client-side state when you save changes to a file. It's enabled by default in all Next.js applications on **9.4 or newer**. With Fast Refresh enabled, most edits should be visible within a second.

## How It Works

* If you edit a file that **only exports React component(s)**, Fast Refresh will
  update the code only for that file, and re-render your component. You can edit
  anything in that file, including styles, rendering logic, event handlers, or
  effects.
* If you edit a file with exports that *aren't* React components, Fast Refresh
  will re-run both that file, and the other files importing it. So if both
  `Button.js` and `Modal.js` import `theme.js`, editing `theme.js` will update
  both components.
* Finally, if you **edit a file** that's **imported by files outside of the
  React tree**, Fast Refresh **will fall back to doing a full reload**. You
  might have a file which renders a React component but also exports a value
  that is imported by a **non-React component**. For example, maybe your
  component also exports a constant, and a non-React utility file imports it. In
  that case, consider migrating the constant to a separate file and importing it
  into both files. This will re-enable Fast Refresh to work. Other cases can
  usually be solved in a similar way.

## Error Resilience

### Syntax Errors

If you make a syntax error during development, you can fix it and save the file
again. The error will disappear automatically, so you won't need to reload the
app. **You will not lose component state**.

### Runtime Errors

If you make a mistake that leads to a runtime error inside your component,
you'll be greeted with a contextual overlay. Fixing the error will automatically
dismiss the overlay, without reloading the app.

Component state will be retained if the error did not occur during rendering. If
the error did occur during rendering, React will remount your application using
the updated code.

If you have [error boundaries](https://react.dev/reference/react/Component#catching-rendering-errors-with-an-error-boundary)
in your app (which is a good idea for graceful failures in production), they
will retry rendering on the next edit after a rendering error. This means having
an error boundary can prevent you from always getting reset to the root app
state. However, keep in mind that error boundaries shouldn't be *too* granular.
They are used by React in production, and should always be designed
intentionally.

## Limitations

Fast Refresh tries to preserve local React state in the component you're
editing, but only if it's safe to do so. Here's a few reasons why you might see
local state being reset on every edit to a file:

* Local state is not preserved for class components (only function components
  and Hooks preserve state).
* The file you're editing might have *other* exports in addition to a React
  component.
* Sometimes, a file would export the result of calling a higher-order component
  like `HOC(WrappedComponent)`. If the returned component is a
  class, its state will be reset.
* Anonymous arrow functions like `export default () => <div />;` cause Fast Refresh to not preserve local component state. For large codebases you can use our [`name-default-component` codemod](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#name-default-component).

As more of your codebase moves to function components and Hooks, you can expect
state to be preserved in more cases.

## Tips

* Fast Refresh preserves React local state in function components (and Hooks) by
  default.
* Sometimes you might want to *force* the state to be reset, and a component to
  be remounted. For example, this can be handy if you're tweaking an animation
  that only happens on mount. To do this, you can add `// @refresh reset`
  anywhere in the file you're editing. This directive is local to the file, and
  instructs Fast Refresh to remount components defined in that file on every
  edit.
* You can put `console.log` or `debugger;` into the components you edit during
  development.
* Remember that imports are case sensitive. Both fast and full refresh can fail,
  when your import doesn't match the actual filename.
  For example, `'./header'` vs `'./Header'`.

## Fast Refresh and Hooks

When possible, Fast Refresh attempts to preserve the state of your component
between edits. In particular, `useState` and `useRef` preserve their previous
values as long as you don't change their arguments or the order of the Hook
calls.

Hooks with dependencies—such as `useEffect`, `useMemo`, and `useCallback`—will
*always* update during Fast Refresh. Their list of dependencies will be ignored
while Fast Refresh is happening.

For example, when you edit `useMemo(() => x * 2, [x])` to
`useMemo(() => x * 10, [x])`, it will re-run even though `x` (the dependency)
has not changed. If React didn't do that, your edit wouldn't reflect on the
screen!

Sometimes, this can lead to unexpected results. For example, even a `useEffect`
with an empty array of dependencies would still re-run once during Fast Refresh.

However, writing code resilient to occasional re-running of `useEffect` is a good practice even
without Fast Refresh. It will make it easier for you to introduce new dependencies to it later on
and it's enforced by [React Strict Mode](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/reactStrictMode.md),
which we highly recommend enabling.

# fetch
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js extends the [Web `fetch()` API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) to allow each request on the server to set its own persistent caching and revalidation semantics.

In the browser, the `cache` option indicates how a fetch request will interact with the *browser's* HTTP cache. With this extension, `cache` indicates how a *server-side* fetch request will interact with the framework's persistent [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache).

You can call `fetch` with `async` and `await` directly within Server Components.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  let data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  let posts = await data.json()
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  let data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  let posts = await data.json()
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

## `fetch(url, options)`

Since Next.js extends the [Web `fetch()` API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API), you can use any of the [native options available](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/fetch#parameters).

### `options.cache`

Configure how the request should interact with Next.js [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache).

```ts
fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'force-cache' | 'no-store' })
```

* **`auto no cache`** (default): Next.js fetches the resource from the remote server on every request in development, but will fetch once during `next build` because the route will be statically prerendered. If [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) are detected on the route, Next.js will fetch the resource on every request.
* **`no-store`**: Next.js fetches the resource from the remote server on every request, even if Dynamic APIs are not detected on the route.
* **`force-cache`**: Next.js looks for a matching request in its Data Cache.
  * If there is a match and it is fresh, it will be returned from the cache.
  * If there is no match or a stale match, Next.js will fetch the resource from the remote server and update the cache with the downloaded resource.

### `options.next.revalidate`

```ts
fetch(`https://...`, { next: { revalidate: false | 0 | number } })
```

Set the cache lifetime of a resource (in seconds). [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache).

* **`false`** - Cache the resource indefinitely. Semantically equivalent to `revalidate: Infinity`. The HTTP cache may evict older resources over time.
* **`0`** - Prevent the resource from being cached.
* **`number`** - (in seconds) Specify the resource should have a cache lifetime of at most `n` seconds.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If an individual `fetch()` request sets a `revalidate` number lower than the [default `revalidate`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#revalidate) of a route, the whole route revalidation interval will be decreased.
> * If two fetch requests with the same URL in the same route have different `revalidate` values, the lower value will be used.
> * Conflicting options such as `{ revalidate: 3600, cache: 'no-store' }` are not allowed, both will be ignored, and in development mode a warning will be printed to the terminal.

### `options.next.tags`

```ts
fetch(`https://...`, { next: { tags: ['collection'] } })
```

Set the cache tags of a resource. Data can then be revalidated on-demand using [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md). The max length for a custom tag is 256 characters and the max tag items is 128.

## Troubleshooting

### Fetch default `auto no store` and `cache: 'no-store'` not showing fresh data in development

Next.js caches `fetch` responses in Server Components across Hot Module Replacement (HMR) in local development for faster responses and to reduce costs for billed API calls.

By default, the [HMR cache](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverComponentsHmrCache.md) applies to all fetch requests, including those with the default `auto no cache` and `cache: 'no-store'` option. This means uncached requests will not show fresh data between HMR refreshes. However, the cache will be cleared on navigation or full-page reloads.

See the [`serverComponentsHmrCache`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverComponentsHmrCache.md) docs for more information.

### Hard refresh and caching in development

In development mode, if the request includes the `cache-control: no-cache` header, `options.cache`, `options.next.revalidate`, and `options.next.tags` are ignored, and the `fetch` request is served from the source.

Browsers typically include `cache-control: no-cache` when the cache is disabled in developer tools or during a hard refresh.

# Fetching Data
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This page will walk you through how you can fetch data in [Server and Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), and how to [stream](#streaming) components that depend on data.

## Fetching data

### Server Components

You can fetch data in Server Components using any asynchronous I/O, such as:

1. The [`fetch` API](#with-the-fetch-api)
2. An [ORM or database](#with-an-orm-or-database)
3. Reading from the filesystem using Node.js APIs like `fs`

#### With the `fetch` API

To fetch data with the `fetch` API, turn your component into an asynchronous function, and await the `fetch` call. For example:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await data.json()
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await data.json()
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> * `fetch` responses are not cached by default. However, Next.js will [pre-render](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) the route and the output will be cached for improved performance. If you'd like to opt into [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering), use the `{ cache: 'no-store' }` option. See the [`fetch` API Reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md).
> * During development, you can log `fetch` calls for better visibility and debugging. See the [`logging` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/logging.md).

#### With an ORM or database

Since Server Components are rendered on the server, you can safely make database queries using an ORM or database client. Turn your component into an asynchronous function, and await the call:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import { db, posts } from '@/lib/db'

export default async function Page() {
  const allPosts = await db.select().from(posts)
  return (
    <ul>
      {allPosts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import { db, posts } from '@/lib/db'

export default async function Page() {
  const allPosts = await db.select().from(posts)
  return (
    <ul>
      {allPosts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

### Client Components

There are two ways to fetch data in Client Components, using:

1. React's [`use` hook](https://react.dev/reference/react/use)
2. A community library like [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app/) or [React Query](https://tanstack.com/query/latest)

#### Streaming data with the `use` hook

You can use React's [`use` hook](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) to [stream](#streaming) data from the server to client. Start by fetching data in your Server component, and pass the promise to your Client Component as prop:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import Posts from '@/app/ui/posts'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

export default function Page() {
  // Don't await the data fetching function
  const posts = getPosts()

  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
      <Posts posts={posts} />
    </Suspense>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import Posts from '@/app/ui/posts'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

export default function Page() {
  // Don't await the data fetching function
  const posts = getPosts()

  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
      <Posts posts={posts} />
    </Suspense>
  )
}
```

Then, in your Client Component, use the `use` hook to read the promise:

```tsx filename="app/ui/posts.tsx" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'

export default function Posts({
  posts,
}: {
  posts: Promise<{ id: string; title: string }[]>
}) {
  const allPosts = use(posts)

  return (
    <ul>
      {allPosts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/posts.js" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'

export default function Posts({ posts }) {
  const allPosts = use(posts)

  return (
    <ul>
      {allPosts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

In the example above, the `<Posts>` component is wrapped in a [`<Suspense>` boundary](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense). This means the fallback will be shown while the promise is being resolved. Learn more about [streaming](#streaming).

#### Community libraries

You can use a community library like [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app/) or [React Query](https://tanstack.com/query/latest) to fetch data in Client Components. These libraries have their own semantics for caching, streaming, and other features. For example, with SWR:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'
import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((r) => r.json())

export default function BlogPage() {
  const { data, error, isLoading } = useSWR(
    'https://api.vercel.app/blog',
    fetcher
  )

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>

  return (
    <ul>
      {data.map((post: { id: string; title: string }) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((r) => r.json())

export default function BlogPage() {
  const { data, error, isLoading } = useSWR(
    'https://api.vercel.app/blog',
    fetcher
  )

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>

  return (
    <ul>
      {data.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

## Deduplicate requests and cache data

One way to deduplicate `fetch` requests is with [request memoization](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#request-memoization). With this mechanism, `fetch` calls using `GET` or `HEAD` with the same URL and options in a single render pass are combined into one request. This happens automatically, and you can [opt out](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#opting-out) by passing an Abort signal to `fetch`.

Request memoization is scoped to the lifetime of a request.

You can also deduplicate `fetch` requests by using Next.js’ [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache), for example by setting `cache: 'force-cache'` in your `fetch` options.

Data Cache allows sharing data across the current render pass and incoming requests.

If you are *not* using `fetch`, and instead using an ORM or database directly, you can wrap your data access with the [React `cache`](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache) function.

```tsx filename="app/lib/data.ts" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import { db, posts, eq } from '@/lib/db'

export const getPost = cache(async (id: string) => {
  const post = await db.query.posts.findFirst({
    where: eq(posts.id, parseInt(id)),
  })
})
```

```jsx filename="app/lib/data.js" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import { db, posts, eq } from '@/lib/db'
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'

export const getPost = cache(async (id) => {
  const post = await db.query.posts.findFirst({
    where: eq(posts.id, parseInt(id)),
  })
})
```

## Streaming

> **Warning:** The content below assumes the [`cacheComponents` config option](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) is enabled in your application. The flag was introduced in Next.js 15 canary.

When you fetch data in Server Components, the data is fetched and rendered on the server for each request. If you have any slow data requests, the whole route will be blocked from rendering until all the data is fetched.

To improve the initial load time and user experience, you can use streaming to break up the page's HTML into smaller chunks and progressively send those chunks from the server to the client.

![How Server Rendering with Streaming Works](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/server-rendering-with-streaming.png)

There are two ways you can leverage streaming in your application:

1. Wrapping a page with a [`loading.js` file](#with-loadingjs)
2. Wrapping a component with [`<Suspense>`](#with-suspense)

### With `loading.js`

You can create a `loading.js` file in the same folder as your page to stream the **entire page** while the data is being fetched. For example, to stream `app/blog/page.js`, add the file inside the `app/blog` folder.

![Blog folder structure with loading.js file](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-file.png)

```tsx filename="app/blog/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Define the Loading UI here
  return <div>Loading...</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Define the Loading UI here
  return <div>Loading...</div>
}
```

On navigation, the user will immediately see the layout and a [loading state](#creating-meaningful-loading-states) while the page is being rendered. The new content will then be automatically swapped in once rendering is complete.

![Loading UI](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-ui.png)

Behind-the-scenes, `loading.js` will be nested inside `layout.js`, and will automatically wrap the `page.js` file and any children below in a `<Suspense>` boundary.

![loading.js overview](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-overview.png)

This approach works well for route segments (layouts and pages), but for more granular streaming, you can use `<Suspense>`.

### With `<Suspense>`

`<Suspense>` allows you to be more granular about what parts of the page to stream. For example, you can immediately show any page content that falls outside of the `<Suspense>` boundary, and stream in the list of blog posts inside the boundary.

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import BlogList from '@/components/BlogList'
import BlogListSkeleton from '@/components/BlogListSkeleton'

export default function BlogPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* This content will be sent to the client immediately */}
      <header>
        <h1>Welcome to the Blog</h1>
        <p>Read the latest posts below.</p>
      </header>
      <main>
        {/* If there's any dynamic content inside this boundary, it will be streamed in */}
        <Suspense fallback={<BlogListSkeleton />}>
          <BlogList />
        </Suspense>
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import BlogList from '@/components/BlogList'
import BlogListSkeleton from '@/components/BlogListSkeleton'

export default function BlogPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* This content will be sent to the client immediately */}
      <header>
        <h1>Welcome to the Blog</h1>
        <p>Read the latest posts below.</p>
      </header>
      <main>
        {/* If there's any dynamic content inside this boundary, it will be streamed in */}
        <Suspense fallback={<BlogListSkeleton />}>
          <BlogList />
        </Suspense>
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Creating meaningful loading states

An instant loading state is fallback UI that is shown immediately to the user after navigation. For the best user experience, we recommend designing loading states that are meaningful and help users understand the app is responding. For example, you can use skeletons and spinners, or a small but meaningful part of future screens such as a cover photo, title, etc.

In development, you can preview and inspect the loading state of your components using the [React Devtools](https://react.dev/learn/react-developer-tools).

## Examples

### Sequential data fetching

Sequential data fetching happens when one request depends on data from another.

For example, `<Playlists>` can only fetch data after `<Artist>` completes because it needs the `artistID`:

```tsx filename="app/artist/[username]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ username: string }>
}) {
  const { username } = await params
  // Get artist information
  const artist = await getArtist(username)

  return (
    <>
      <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
      {/* Show fallback UI while the Playlists component is loading */}
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
        {/* Pass the artist ID to the Playlists component */}
        <Playlists artistID={artist.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </>
  )
}

async function Playlists({ artistID }: { artistID: string }) {
  // Use the artist ID to fetch playlists
  const playlists = await getArtistPlaylists(artistID)

  return (
    <ul>
      {playlists.map((playlist) => (
        <li key={playlist.id}>{playlist.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/artist/[username]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { username } = await params
  // Get artist information
  const artist = await getArtist(username)

  return (
    <>
      <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
      {/* Show fallback UI while the Playlists component is loading */}
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
        {/* Pass the artist ID to the Playlists component */}
        <Playlists artistID={artist.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </>
  )
}

async function Playlists({ artistID }) {
  // Use the artist ID to fetch playlists
  const playlists = await getArtistPlaylists(artistID)

  return (
    <ul>
      {playlists.map((playlist) => (
        <li key={playlist.id}>{playlist.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

In this example, `<Suspense>` allows the playlists to stream in after the artist data loads. However, the page still waits for the artist data before displaying anything. To prevent this, you can wrap the entire page component in a `<Suspense>` boundary (for example, using a [`loading.js` file](#with-loadingjs)) to show a loading state immediately.

Ensure your data source can resolve the first request quickly, as it blocks everything else. If you can't optimize the request further, consider [caching](#deduplicate-requests-and-cache-data) the result if the data changes infrequently.

### Parallel data fetching

Parallel data fetching happens when data requests in a route are eagerly initiated and start at the same time.

By default, [layouts and pages](/docs/app/getting-started/layouts-and-pages.md) are rendered in parallel. So each segment starts fetching data as soon as possible.

However, within *any* component, multiple `async`/`await` requests can still be sequential if placed after the other. For example, `getAlbums` will be blocked until `getArtist` is resolved:

```tsx filename="app/artist/[username]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getArtist, getAlbums } from '@/app/lib/data'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  // These requests will be sequential
  const { username } = await params
  const artist = await getArtist(username)
  const albums = await getAlbums(username)
  return <div>{artist.name}</div>
}
```

Start multiple requests by calling `fetch`, then await them with [`Promise.all`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/all). Requests begin as soon as `fetch` is called.

```tsx filename="app/artist/[username]/page.tsx" highlight={3,8,23} switcher
import Albums from './albums'

async function getArtist(username: string) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/artist/${username}`)
  return res.json()
}

async function getAlbums(username: string) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/artist/${username}/albums`)
  return res.json()
}

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ username: string }>
}) {
  const { username } = await params

  // Initiate requests
  const artistData = getArtist(username)
  const albumsData = getAlbums(username)

  const [artist, albums] = await Promise.all([artistData, albumsData])

  return (
    <>
      <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
      <Albums list={albums} />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/artist/[username]/page.js" highlight={3,8,19} switcher
import Albums from './albums'

async function getArtist(username) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/artist/${username}`)
  return res.json()
}

async function getAlbums(username) {
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/artist/${username}/albums`)
  return res.json()
}

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { username } = await params

  // Initiate requests
  const artistData = getArtist(username)
  const albumsData = getAlbums(username)

  const [artist, albums] = await Promise.all([artistData, albumsData])

  return (
    <>
      <h1>{artist.name}</h1>
      <Albums list={albums} />
    </>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** If one request fails when using `Promise.all`, the entire operation will fail. To handle this, you can use the [`Promise.allSettled`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/allSettled) method instead.

### Preloading data

You can preload data by creating an utility function that you eagerly call above blocking requests. `<Item>` conditionally renders based on the `checkIsAvailable()` function.

You can call `preload()` before `checkIsAvailable()` to eagerly initiate `<Item/>` data dependencies. By the time `<Item/>` is rendered, its data has already been fetched.

```tsx filename="app/item/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getItem, checkIsAvailable } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  // starting loading item data
  preload(id)
  // perform another asynchronous task
  const isAvailable = await checkIsAvailable()

  return isAvailable ? <Item id={id} /> : null
}

const preload = (id: string) => {
  // void evaluates the given expression and returns undefined
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/void
  void getItem(id)
}

export async function Item({ id }: { id: string }) {
  const result = await getItem(id)
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/item/[id]/page.js" switcher
import { getItem, checkIsAvailable } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  // starting loading item data
  preload(id)
  // perform another asynchronous task
  const isAvailable = await checkIsAvailable()

  return isAvailable ? <Item id={id} /> : null
}

const preload = (id) => {
  // void evaluates the given expression and returns undefined
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/void
  void getItem(id)
}

export async function Item({ id }) {
  const result = await getItem(id)
  // ...
```

Additionally, you can use React's [`cache` function](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache) and the [`server-only` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/server-only) to create a reusable utility function. This approach allows you to cache the data fetching function and ensure that it's only executed on the server.

```ts filename="utils/get-item.ts" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import 'server-only'
import { getItem } from '@/lib/data'

export const preload = (id: string) => {
  void getItem(id)
}

export const getItem = cache(async (id: string) => {
  // ...
})
```

```js filename="utils/get-item.js" switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import 'server-only'
import { getItem } from '@/lib/data'

export const preload = (id) => {
  void getItem(id)
}

export const getItem = cache(async (id) => {
  // ...
})
```

> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The **forbidden** file is used to render UI when the [`forbidden`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/forbidden.md) function is invoked during authentication. Along with allowing you to customize the UI, Next.js will return a `403` status code.

```tsx filename="app/forbidden.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Forbidden() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Forbidden</h2>
      <p>You are not authorized to access this resource.</p>
      <Link href="/">Return Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/forbidden.jsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Forbidden() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Forbidden</h2>
      <p>You are not authorized to access this resource.</p>
      <Link href="/">Return Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

# Form Component
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `<Form>` component extends the HTML `<form>` element to provide [**prefetching**](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) of [loading UI](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md), **client-side navigation** on submission, and **progressive enhancement**.

It's useful for forms that update URL search params as it reduces the boilerplate code needed to achieve the above.

Basic usage:

```tsx filename="/app/ui/search.tsx" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      {/* On submission, the input value will be appended to
          the URL, e.g. /search?query=abc */}
      <input name="query" />
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/ui/search.js" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'

export default function Search() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      {/* On submission, the input value will be appended to
          the URL, e.g. /search?query=abc */}
      <input name="query" />
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

## Reference

The behavior of the `<Form>` component depends on whether the `action` prop is passed a `string` or `function`.

* When `action` is a **string**, the `<Form>` behaves like a native HTML form that uses a **`GET`** method. The form data is encoded into the URL as search params, and when the form is submitted, it navigates to the specified URL. In addition, Next.js:
  * [Prefetches](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) the path when the form becomes visible, this preloads shared UI (e.g. `layout.js` and `loading.js`), resulting in faster navigation.
  * Performs a [client-side navigation](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions) instead of a full page reload when the form is submitted. This retains shared UI and client-side state.
* When `action` is a **function** (Server Action), `<Form>` behaves like a [React form](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/form), executing the action when the form is submitted.

### `action` (string) Props

When `action` is a string, the `<Form>` component supports the following props:

| Prop       | Example            | Type                            | Required |
| ---------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------- | -------- |
| `action`   | `action="/search"` | `string` (URL or relative path) | Yes      |
| `replace`  | `replace={false}`  | `boolean`                       | -        |
| `scroll`   | `scroll={true}`    | `boolean`                       | -        |
| `prefetch` | `prefetch={true}`  | `boolean`                       | -        |

* **`action`**: The URL or path to navigate to when the form is submitted.
  * An empty string `""` will navigate to the same route with updated search params.
* **`replace`**: Replaces the current history state instead of pushing a new one to the [browser's history](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API) stack. Default is `false`.
* **`scroll`**: Controls the scroll behavior during navigation. Defaults to `true`, this means it will scroll to the top of the new route, and maintain the scroll position for backwards and forwards navigation.
* **`prefetch`**: Controls whether the path should be prefetched when the form becomes visible in the user's viewport. Defaults to `true`.

### `action` (function) Props

When `action` is a function, the `<Form>` component supports the following prop:

| Prop     | Example             | Type                       | Required |
| -------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- | -------- |
| `action` | `action={myAction}` | `function` (Server Action) | Yes      |

* **`action`**: The Server Action to be called when the form is submitted. See the [React docs](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/form#props) for more.

> **Good to know**: When `action` is a function, the `replace` and `scroll` props are ignored.

### Caveats

* **`formAction`**: Can be used in a `<button>` or `<input type="submit">` fields to override the `action` prop. Next.js will perform a client-side navigation, however, this approach doesn't support prefetching.
  * When using [`basePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md), you must also include it in the `formAction` path. e.g. `formAction="/base-path/search"`.
* **`key`**: Passing a `key` prop to a string `action` is not supported. If you'd like to trigger a re-render or perform a mutation, consider using a function `action` instead.

- **`onSubmit`**: Can be used to handle form submission logic. However, calling `event.preventDefault()` will override `<Form>` behavior such as navigating to the specified URL.
- **[`method`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#method), [`encType`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#enctype), [`target`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#target)**: Are not supported as they override `<Form>` behavior.
  * Similarly, `formMethod`, `formEncType`, and `formTarget` can be used to override the `method`, `encType`, and `target` props respectively, and using them will fallback to native browser behavior.
  * If you need to use these props, use the HTML `<form>` element instead.
- **`<input type="file">`**: Using this input type when the `action` is a string will match browser behavior by submitting the filename instead of the file object.

## Examples

### Search form that leads to a search result page

You can create a search form that navigates to a search results page by passing the path as an `action`:

```tsx filename="/app/page.tsx" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      <input name="query" />
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/page.js" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      <input name="query" />
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

When the user updates the query input field and submits the form, the form data will be encoded into the URL as search params, e.g. `/search?query=abc`.

> **Good to know**: If you pass an empty string `""` to `action`, the form will navigate to the same route with updated search params.

On the results page, you can access the query using the [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) `page.js` prop and use it to fetch data from an external source.

```tsx filename="/app/search/page.tsx" switcher
import { getSearchResults } from '@/lib/search'

export default async function SearchPage({
  searchParams,
}: {
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const results = await getSearchResults((await searchParams).query)

  return <div>...</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/search/page.js" switcher
import { getSearchResults } from '@/lib/search'

export default async function SearchPage({ searchParams }) {
  const results = await getSearchResults((await searchParams).query)

  return <div>...</div>
}
```

When the `<Form>` becomes visible in the user's viewport, shared UI (such as `layout.js` and `loading.js`) on the `/search` page will be prefetched. On submission, the form will immediately navigate to the new route and show loading UI while the results are being fetched. You can design the fallback UI using [`loading.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md):

```tsx filename="/app/search/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  return <div>Loading...</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/search/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  return <div>Loading...</div>
}
```

To cover cases when shared UI hasn't yet loaded, you can show instant feedback to the user using [`useFormStatus`](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hooks/useFormStatus).

First, create a component that displays a loading state when the form is pending:

```tsx filename="/app/ui/search-button.tsx" switcher
'use client'
import { useFormStatus } from 'react-dom'

export default function SearchButton() {
  const status = useFormStatus()
  return (
    <button type="submit">{status.pending ? 'Searching...' : 'Search'}</button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/ui/search-button.js" switcher
'use client'
import { useFormStatus } from 'react-dom'

export default function SearchButton() {
  const status = useFormStatus()
  return (
    <button type="submit">{status.pending ? 'Searching...' : 'Search'}</button>
  )
}
```

Then, update the search form page to use the `SearchButton` component:

```tsx filename="/app/page.tsx" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'
import { SearchButton } from '@/ui/search-button'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      <input name="query" />
      <SearchButton />
    </Form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/ui/search-button.js" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'
import { SearchButton } from '@/ui/search-button'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action="/search">
      <input name="query" />
      <SearchButton />
    </Form>
  )
}
```

### Mutations with Server Actions

You can perform mutations by passing a function to the `action` prop.

```tsx filename="/app/posts/create/page.tsx" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'
import { createPost } from '@/posts/actions'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action={createPost}>
      <input name="title" />
      {/* ... */}
      <button type="submit">Create Post</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/posts/create/page.js" switcher
import Form from 'next/form'
import { createPost } from '@/posts/actions'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Form action={createPost}>
      <input name="title" />
      {/* ... */}
      <button type="submit">Create Post</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

After a mutation, it's common to redirect to the new resource. You can use the [`redirect`](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md) function from `next/navigation` to navigate to the new post page.

> **Good to know**: Since the "destination" of the form submission is not known until the action is executed, `<Form>` cannot automatically prefetch shared UI.

```tsx filename="/app/posts/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  // Create a new post
  // ...

  // Redirect to the new post
  redirect(`/posts/${data.id}`)
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/posts/actions.js" switcher
'use server'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  // Create a new post
  // ...

  // Redirect to the new post
  redirect(`/posts/${data.id}`)
}
```

Then, in the new page, you can fetch data using the `params` prop:

```tsx filename="/app/posts/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getPost } from '@/posts/data'

export default async function PostPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const data = await getPost(id)

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data.title}</h1>
      {/* ... */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="/app/posts/[id]/page.js" switcher
import { getPost } from '@/posts/data'

export default async function PostPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const data = await getPost(id)

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data.title}</h1>
      {/* ... */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

See the [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) docs for more examples.

# Forms and Mutations


Forms enable you to create and update data in web applications. Next.js provides a powerful way to handle form submissions and data mutations using **API Routes**.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * We will soon recommend [incrementally adopting](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md) the App Router and using [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) for handling form submissions and data mutations. Server Actions allow you to define asynchronous server functions that can be called directly from your components, without needing to manually create an API Route.
> * API Routes [do not specify CORS headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS), meaning they are same-origin only by default.
> * Since API Routes run on the server, we're able to use sensitive values (like API keys) through [Environment Variables](/docs/pages/guides/environment-variables.md) without exposing them to the client. This is critical for the security of your application.

## Examples

### Redirecting

If you would like to redirect the user to a different route after a mutation, you can [`redirect`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md#response-helpers) to any absolute or relative URL:

```ts filename="pages/api/submit.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  const id = await addPost()
  res.redirect(307, `/post/${id}`)
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/submit.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const id = await addPost()
  res.redirect(307, `/post/${id}`)
}
```

### Setting cookies

You can set cookies inside an API Route using the `setHeader` method on the response:

```ts filename="pages/api/cookie.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', 'username=lee; Path=/; HttpOnly')
  res.status(200).send('Cookie has been set.')
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/cookie.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', 'username=lee; Path=/; HttpOnly')
  res.status(200).send('Cookie has been set.')
}
```

### Reading cookies

You can read cookies inside an API Route using the [`cookies`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md#request-helpers) request helper:

```ts filename="pages/api/cookie.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  const auth = req.cookies.authorization
  // ...
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/cookie.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  const auth = req.cookies.authorization
  // ...
}
```

### Deleting cookies

You can delete cookies inside an API Route using the `setHeader` method on the response:

```ts filename="pages/api/cookie.ts" switcher
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', 'username=; Path=/; HttpOnly; Max-Age=0')
  res.status(200).send('Cookie has been deleted.')
}
```

```js filename="pages/api/cookie.js" switcher
export default async function handler(req, res) {
  res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', 'username=; Path=/; HttpOnly; Max-Age=0')
  res.status(200).send('Cookie has been deleted.')
}
```

# How to create forms with Server Actions
@doc-version: 16.0.4


React Server Actions are [Server Functions](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions) that execute on the server. They can be called in Server and Client Components to handle form submissions. This guide will walk you through how to create forms in Next.js with Server Actions.

## How it works

React extends the HTML [`<form>`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form) element to allow Server Actions to be invoked with the [`action`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/form#action) attribute.

When used in a form, the function automatically receives the [`FormData`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/FormData/FormData) object. You can then extract the data using the native [`FormData` methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData#instance_methods):

```tsx filename="app/invoices/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  async function createInvoice(formData: FormData) {
    'use server'

    const rawFormData = {
      customerId: formData.get('customerId'),
      amount: formData.get('amount'),
      status: formData.get('status'),
    }

    // mutate data
    // revalidate the cache
  }

  return <form action={createInvoice}>...</form>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/invoices/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  async function createInvoice(formData) {
    'use server'

    const rawFormData = {
      customerId: formData.get('customerId'),
      amount: formData.get('amount'),
      status: formData.get('status'),
    }

    // mutate data
    // revalidate the cache
  }

  return <form action={createInvoice}>...</form>
}
```

> **Good to know:** When working with forms that have multiple fields, use JavaScript's [`Object.fromEntries()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/fromEntries). For example: `const rawFormData = Object.fromEntries(formData)`. Note that this object will contain extra properties prefixed with `$ACTION_`.

## Passing additional arguments

Outside of form fields, you can pass additional arguments to a Server Function using the JavaScript [`bind`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind) method. For example, to pass the `userId` argument to the `updateUser` Server Function:

```tsx filename="app/client-component.tsx" highlight={6} switcher
'use client'

import { updateUser } from './actions'

export function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const updateUserWithId = updateUser.bind(null, userId)

  return (
    <form action={updateUserWithId}>
      <input type="text" name="name" />
      <button type="submit">Update User Name</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/client-component.js" highlight={6} switcher
'use client'

import { updateUser } from './actions'

export function UserProfile({ userId }) {
  const updateUserWithId = updateUser.bind(null, userId)

  return (
    <form action={updateUserWithId}>
      <input type="text" name="name" />
      <button type="submit">Update User Name</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

The Server Function will receive the `userId` as an additional argument:

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

export async function updateUser(userId: string, formData: FormData) {}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

export async function updateUser(userId, formData) {}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * An alternative is to pass arguments as hidden input fields in the form (e.g. `<input type="hidden" name="userId" value={userId} />`). However, the value will be part of the rendered HTML and will not be encoded.
> * `bind` works in both Server and Client Components and supports progressive enhancement.

## Form validation

Forms can be validated on the client or server.

* For **client-side validation**, you can use the HTML attributes like `required` and `type="email"` for basic validation.
* For **server-side validation**, you can use a library like [zod](https://zod.dev/) to validate the form fields. For example:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { z } from 'zod'

const schema = z.object({
  email: z.string({
    invalid_type_error: 'Invalid Email',
  }),
})

export default async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  const validatedFields = schema.safeParse({
    email: formData.get('email'),
  })

  // Return early if the form data is invalid
  if (!validatedFields.success) {
    return {
      errors: validatedFields.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
    }
  }

  // Mutate data
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { z } from 'zod'

const schema = z.object({
  email: z.string({
    invalid_type_error: 'Invalid Email',
  }),
})

export default async function createsUser(formData) {
  const validatedFields = schema.safeParse({
    email: formData.get('email'),
  })

  // Return early if the form data is invalid
  if (!validatedFields.success) {
    return {
      errors: validatedFields.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
    }
  }

  // Mutate data
}
```

## Validation errors

To display validation errors or messages, turn the component that defines the `<form>` into a Client Component and use React [`useActionState`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useActionState).

When using `useActionState`, the Server function signature will change to receive a new `prevState` or `initialState` parameter as its first argument.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={4} switcher
'use server'

import { z } from 'zod'

export async function createUser(initialState: any, formData: FormData) {
  const validatedFields = schema.safeParse({
    email: formData.get('email'),
  })
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={4} switcher
'use server'

import { z } from 'zod'

// ...

export async function createUser(initialState, formData) {
  const validatedFields = schema.safeParse({
    email: formData.get('email'),
  })
  // ...
}
```

You can then conditionally render the error message based on the `state` object.

```tsx filename="app/ui/signup.tsx" highlight={11,18-20} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

const initialState = {
  message: '',
}

export function Signup() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createUser, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
      <input type="text" id="email" name="email" required />
      {/* ... */}
      <p aria-live="polite">{state?.message}</p>
      <button disabled={pending}>Sign up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/signup.js" highlight={11,18-20} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

const initialState = {
  message: '',
}

export function Signup() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createUser, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
      <input type="text" id="email" name="email" required />
      {/* ... */}
      <p aria-live="polite">{state?.message}</p>
      <button disabled={pending}>Sign up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

## Pending states

The [`useActionState`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useActionState) hook exposes a `pending` boolean that can be used to show a loading indicator or disable the submit button while the action is being executed.

```tsx filename="app/ui/signup.tsx" highlight={7,12} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

export function Signup() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createUser, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      {/* Other form elements */}
      <button disabled={pending}>Sign up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/signup.js" highlight={7,12} switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState } from 'react'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

export function Signup() {
  const [state, formAction, pending] = useActionState(createUser, initialState)

  return (
    <form action={formAction}>
      {/* Other form elements */}
      <button disabled={pending}>Sign up</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

Alternatively, you can use the [`useFormStatus`](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hooks/useFormStatus) hook to show a loading indicator while the action is being executed. When using this hook, you'll need to create a separate component to render the loading indicator. For example, to disable the button when the action is pending:

```tsx filename="app/ui/button.tsx" highlight={6} switcher
'use client'

import { useFormStatus } from 'react-dom'

export function SubmitButton() {
  const { pending } = useFormStatus()

  return (
    <button disabled={pending} type="submit">
      Sign Up
    </button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/button.js" highlight={6} switcher
'use client'

import { useFormStatus } from 'react-dom'

export function SubmitButton() {
  const { pending } = useFormStatus()

  return (
    <button disabled={pending} type="submit">
      Sign Up
    </button>
  )
}
```

You can then nest the `SubmitButton` component inside the form:

```tsx filename="app/ui/signup.tsx" switcher
import { SubmitButton } from './button'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

export function Signup() {
  return (
    <form action={createUser}>
      {/* Other form elements */}
      <SubmitButton />
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/signup.js" switcher
import { SubmitButton } from './button'
import { createUser } from '@/app/actions'

export function Signup() {
  return (
    <form action={createUser}>
      {/* Other form elements */}
      <SubmitButton />
    </form>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:** In React 19, `useFormStatus` includes additional keys on the returned object, like data, method, and action. If you are not using React 19, only the `pending` key is available.

## Optimistic updates

You can use the React [`useOptimistic`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useOptimistic) hook to optimistically update the UI before the Server Function finishes executing, rather than waiting for the response:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useOptimistic } from 'react'
import { send } from './actions'

type Message = {
  message: string
}

export function Thread({ messages }: { messages: Message[] }) {
  const [optimisticMessages, addOptimisticMessage] = useOptimistic<
    Message[],
    string
  >(messages, (state, newMessage) => [...state, { message: newMessage }])

  const formAction = async (formData: FormData) => {
    const message = formData.get('message') as string
    addOptimisticMessage(message)
    await send(message)
  }

  return (
    <div>
      {optimisticMessages.map((m, i) => (
        <div key={i}>{m.message}</div>
      ))}
      <form action={formAction}>
        <input type="text" name="message" />
        <button type="submit">Send</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useOptimistic } from 'react'
import { send } from './actions'

export function Thread({ messages }) {
  const [optimisticMessages, addOptimisticMessage] = useOptimistic(
    messages,
    (state, newMessage) => [...state, { message: newMessage }]
  )

  const formAction = async (formData) => {
    const message = formData.get('message')
    addOptimisticMessage(message)
    await send(message)
  }

  return (
    <div>
      {optimisticMessages.map((m) => (
        <div>{m.message}</div>
      ))}
      <form action={formAction}>
        <input type="text" name="message" />
        <button type="submit">Send</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Nested form elements

You can call Server Actions in elements nested inside `<form>` such as `<button>`, `<input type="submit">`, and `<input type="image">`. These elements accept the `formAction` prop or event handlers.

This is useful in cases where you want to call multiple Server Actions within a form. For example, you can create a specific `<button>` element for saving a post draft in addition to publishing it. See the [React `<form>` docs](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/form#handling-multiple-submission-types) for more information.

## Programmatic form submission

You can trigger a form submission programmatically using the [`requestSubmit()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/requestSubmit) method. For example, when the user submits a form using the `⌘` + `Enter` keyboard shortcut, you can listen for the `onKeyDown` event:

```tsx filename="app/entry.tsx" switcher
'use client'

export function Entry() {
  const handleKeyDown = (e: React.KeyboardEvent<HTMLTextAreaElement>) => {
    if (
      (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) &&
      (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === 'NumpadEnter')
    ) {
      e.preventDefault()
      e.currentTarget.form?.requestSubmit()
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <textarea name="entry" rows={20} required onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} />
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/entry.js" switcher
'use client'

export function Entry() {
  const handleKeyDown = (e) => {
    if (
      (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) &&
      (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === 'NumpadEnter')
    ) {
      e.preventDefault()
      e.currentTarget.form?.requestSubmit()
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <textarea name="entry" rows={20} required onKeyDown={handleKeyDown} />
    </div>
  )
}
```

This will trigger the submission of the nearest `<form>` ancestor, which will invoke the Server Function.

# How to migrate from Create React App to Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This guide will help you migrate an existing Create React App (CRA) site to Next.js.

## Why Switch?

There are several reasons why you might want to switch from Create React App to Next.js:

### Slow initial page loading time

Create React App uses purely client-side rendering. Client-side only applications, also known as [single-page applications (SPAs)](/docs/app/guides/single-page-applications.md), often experience slow initial page loading time. This happens due to a couple of reasons:

1. The browser needs to wait for the React code and your entire application bundle to download and run before your code is able to send requests to load data.
2. Your application code grows with every new feature and dependency you add.

### No automatic code splitting

The previous issue of slow loading times can be somewhat mitigated with code splitting. However, if you try to do code splitting manually, you can inadvertently introduce network waterfalls. Next.js provides automatic code splitting and tree-shaking built into its router and build pipeline.

### Network waterfalls

A common cause of poor performance occurs when applications make sequential client-server requests to fetch data. One pattern for data fetching in a [SPA](/docs/app/guides/single-page-applications.md) is to render a placeholder, and then fetch data after the component has mounted. Unfortunately, a child component can only begin fetching data after its parent has finished loading its own data, resulting in a “waterfall” of requests.

While client-side data fetching is supported in Next.js, Next.js also lets you move data fetching to the server. This often eliminates client-server waterfalls altogether.

### Fast and intentional loading states

With built-in support for [streaming through React Suspense](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#streaming), you can define which parts of your UI load first and in what order, without creating network waterfalls.

This enables you to build pages that are faster to load and eliminate [layout shifts](https://vercel.com/blog/how-core-web-vitals-affect-seo).

### Choose the data fetching strategy

Depending on your needs, Next.js allows you to choose your data fetching strategy on a page or component-level basis. For example, you could fetch data from your CMS and render blog posts at build time (SSG) for quick load speeds, or fetch data at request time (SSR) when necessary.

### Proxy

[Next.js Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) allows you to run code on the server before a request is completed. For instance, you can avoid a flash of unauthenticated content by redirecting a user to a login page in the proxy for authenticated-only pages. You can also use it for features like A/B testing, experimentation, and [internationalization](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md).

### Built-in Optimizations

[Images](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md), [fonts](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md), and [third-party scripts](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md) often have a large impact on an application’s performance. Next.js includes specialized components and APIs that automatically optimize them for you.

## Migration Steps

Our goal is to get a working Next.js application as quickly as possible so that you can then adopt Next.js features incrementally. To begin with, we’ll treat your application as a purely client-side application ([SPA](/docs/app/guides/single-page-applications.md)) without immediately replacing your existing router. This reduces complexity and merge conflicts.

> **Note**: If you are using advanced CRA configurations such as a custom `homepage` field in your `package.json`, a custom service worker, or specific Babel/webpack tweaks, please see the **Additional Considerations** section at the end of this guide for tips on replicating or adapting these features in Next.js.

### Step 1: Install the Next.js Dependency

Install Next.js in your existing project:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install next@latest
```

### Step 2: Create the Next.js Configuration File

Create a `next.config.ts` at the root of your project (same level as your `package.json`). This file holds your [Next.js configuration options](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md).

```js filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  output: 'export', // Outputs a Single-Page Application (SPA)
  distDir: 'build', // Changes the build output directory to `build`
}

export default nextConfig
```

> **Note**: Using `output: 'export'` means you’re doing a static export. You will **not** have access to server-side features like SSR or APIs. You can remove this line to leverage Next.js server features.

### Step 3: Create the Root Layout

A Next.js [App Router](/docs/app.md) application must include a [root layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout) file, which is a [React Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) that will wrap all your pages.

The closest equivalent of the root layout file in a CRA application is `public/index.html`, which includes your `<html>`, `<head>`, and `<body>` tags.

1. Create a new `app` directory inside your `src` folder (or at your project root if you prefer `app` at the root).
2. Inside the `app` directory, create a `layout.tsx` (or `layout.js`) file:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return '...'
}
```

Now copy the content of your old `index.html` into this `<RootLayout>` component. Replace `body div#root` (and `body noscript`) with `<div id="root">{children}</div>`.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charSet="UTF-8" />
        <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: Next.js ignores CRA’s `public/manifest.json`, additional iconography, and [testing configuration](/docs/app/guides/testing.md) by default. If you need these, Next.js has support with its [Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md) and [Testing](/docs/app/guides/testing.md) setup.

### Step 4: Metadata

Next.js automatically includes the `<meta charset="UTF-8" />` and `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />` tags, so you can remove them from `<head>`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Any [metadata files](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md#file-based-metadata) such as `favicon.ico`, `icon.png`, `robots.txt` are automatically added to the application `<head>` tag as long as you have them placed into the top level of the `app` directory. After moving [all supported files](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md#file-based-metadata) into the `app` directory you can safely delete their `<link>` tags:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>React App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="Web site created..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Finally, Next.js can manage your last `<head>` tags with the [Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md). Move your final metadata info into an exported [`metadata` object](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#metadata-object):

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'React App',
  description: 'Web site created with Next.js.',
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'React App',
  description: 'Web site created with Next.js.',
}

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

With the above changes, you shifted from declaring everything in your `index.html` to using Next.js' convention-based approach built into the framework ([Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md)). This approach enables you to more easily improve your SEO and web shareability of your pages.

### Step 5: Styles

Like CRA, Next.js supports [CSS Modules](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#css-modules) out of the box. It also supports [global CSS imports](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#global-css).

If you have a global CSS file, import it into your `app/layout.tsx`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import '../index.css'

export const metadata = {
  title: 'React App',
  description: 'Web site created with Next.js.',
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

If you're using Tailwind CSS, see our [installation docs](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#tailwind-css).

### Step 6: Create the Entrypoint Page

Create React App uses `src/index.tsx` (or `index.js`) as the entry point. In Next.js (App Router), each folder inside the `app` directory corresponds to a route, and each folder should have a `page.tsx`.

Since we want to keep the app as an SPA for now and intercept **all** routes, we’ll use an [optional catch-all route](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md#optional-catch-all-segments).

1. **Create a `[[...slug]]` directory inside `app`.**

```bash
app
 ┣ [[...slug]]
 ┃ ┗ page.tsx
 ┣ layout.tsx
```

2. **Add the following to `page.tsx`**:

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.tsx" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...' // We'll update this
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.js" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...' // We'll update this
}
```

This tells Next.js to generate a single route for the empty slug (`/`), effectively mapping **all** routes to the same page. This page is a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), prerendered into static HTML.

### Step 7: Add a Client-Only Entrypoint

Next, we’ll embed your CRA’s root App component inside a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) so that all logic remains client-side. If this is your first time using Next.js, it's worth knowing that clients components (by default) are still prerendered on the server. You can think about them as having the additional capability of running client-side JavaScript.

Create a `client.tsx` (or `client.js`) in `app/[[...slug]]/`:

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/client.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const App = dynamic(() => import('../../App'), { ssr: false })

export function ClientOnly() {
  return <App />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/client.js" switcher
'use client'

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const App = dynamic(() => import('../../App'), { ssr: false })

export function ClientOnly() {
  return <App />
}
```

* The `'use client'` directive makes this file a **Client Component**.
* The `dynamic` import with `ssr: false` disables server-side rendering for the `<App />` component, making it truly client-only (SPA).

Now update your `page.tsx` (or `page.js`) to use your new component:

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.tsx" switcher
import { ClientOnly } from './client'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return <ClientOnly />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.js" switcher
import { ClientOnly } from './client'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return <ClientOnly />
}
```

### Step 8: Update Static Image Imports

In CRA, importing an image file returns its public URL as a string:

```tsx
import image from './img.png'

export default function App() {
  return <img src={image} />
}
```

With Next.js, static image imports return an object. The object can then be used directly with the Next.js [`<Image>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md), or you can use the object's `src` property with your existing `<img>` tag.

The `<Image>` component has the added benefits of [automatic image optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md). The `<Image>` component automatically sets the `width` and `height` attributes of the resulting `<img>` based on the image's dimensions. This prevents layout shifts when the image loads. However, this can cause issues if your app contains images with only one of their dimensions being styled without the other styled to `auto`. When not styled to `auto`, the dimension will default to the `<img>` dimension attribute's value, which can cause the image to appear distorted.

Keeping the `<img>` tag will reduce the amount of changes in your application and prevent the above issues. You can then optionally later migrate to the `<Image>` component to take advantage of optimizing images by [configuring a loader](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#loader), or moving to the default Next.js server which has automatic image optimization.

**Convert absolute import paths for images imported from `/public` into relative imports:**

```tsx
// Before
import logo from '/logo.png'

// After
import logo from '../public/logo.png'
```

**Pass the image `src` property instead of the whole image object to your `<img>` tag:**

```tsx
// Before
<img src={logo} />

// After
<img src={logo.src} />
```

Alternatively, you can reference the public URL for the image asset based on the filename. For example, `public/logo.png` will serve the image at `/logo.png` for your application, which would be the `src` value.

> **Warning:** If you're using TypeScript, you might encounter type errors when accessing the `src` property. To fix them, you need to add `next-env.d.ts` to the [`include` array](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#include) of your `tsconfig.json` file. Next.js will automatically generate this file when you run your application on step 9.

### Step 9: Migrate Environment Variables

Next.js supports [environment variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md) similarly to CRA but **requires** a `NEXT_PUBLIC_` prefix for any variable you want to expose in the browser.

The main difference is the prefix used to expose environment variables on the client-side. Change all environment variables with the `REACT_APP_` prefix to `NEXT_PUBLIC_`.

### Step 10: Update Scripts in `package.json`

Update your `package.json` scripts to use Next.js commands. Also, add `.next` and `next-env.d.ts` to your `.gitignore`:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "npx serve@latest ./build"
  }
}
```

```txt filename=".gitignore"
# ...
.next
next-env.d.ts
```

Now you can run:

```bash
npm run dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). You should see your application now running on Next.js (in SPA mode).

### Step 11: Clean Up

You can now remove artifacts that are specific to Create React App:

* `public/index.html`
* `src/index.tsx`
* `src/react-app-env.d.ts`
* The `reportWebVitals` setup
* The `react-scripts` dependency (uninstall it from `package.json`)

## Additional Considerations

### Using a Custom `homepage` in CRA

If you used the `homepage` field in your CRA `package.json` to serve the app under a specific subpath, you can replicate that in Next.js using the [`basePath` configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md) in `next.config.ts`:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  basePath: '/my-subpath',
  // ...
}

export default nextConfig
```

### Handling a Custom `Service Worker`

If you used CRA’s service worker (e.g., `serviceWorker.js` from `create-react-app`), you can learn how to create [Progressive Web Applications (PWAs)](/docs/app/guides/progressive-web-apps.md) with Next.js.

### Proxying API Requests

If your CRA app used the `proxy` field in `package.json` to forward requests to a backend server, you can replicate this with [Next.js rewrites](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) in `next.config.ts`:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/api/:path*',
        destination: 'https://your-backend.com/:path*',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Custom Webpack

If you had a custom webpack or Babel configuration in CRA, you can extend Next.js’s config in `next.config.ts`:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
    // Modify the webpack config here
    return config
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

> **Note**: This will require using Webpack by adding `--webpack` to your `dev` script.

### TypeScript Setup

Next.js automatically sets up TypeScript if you have a `tsconfig.json`. Make sure `next-env.d.ts` is listed in your `tsconfig.json` `include` array:

```json
{
  "include": ["next-env.d.ts", "app/**/*", "src/**/*"]
}
```

## Bundler Compatibility

Create React App uses webpack for bundling. Next.js now defaults to [Turbopack](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack.md) for faster local development:

```bash
next dev  # Uses Turbopack by default
```

To use Webpack instead (similar to CRA):

```bash
next dev --webpack
```

You can still provide a [custom webpack configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/webpack.md) if you need to migrate advanced webpack settings from CRA.

## Next Steps

If everything worked, you now have a functioning Next.js application running as a single-page application. You aren’t yet leveraging Next.js features like server-side rendering or file-based routing, but you can now do so incrementally:

* **Migrate from React Router** to the [Next.js App Router](/docs/app.md) for:
  * Automatic code splitting
  * [Streaming server rendering](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md)
  * [React Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md)
* **Optimize images** with the [`<Image>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md)
* **Optimize fonts** with [`next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md)
* **Optimize third-party scripts** with the [`<Script>` component](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md)
* **Enable ESLint** with Next.js [recommended rules](/docs/app/api-reference/config/eslint.md#setup-eslint)

> **Note**: Using a static export (`output: 'export'`) [does not currently support](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/54393) the `useParams` hook or other server features. To use all Next.js features, remove `output: 'export'` from your `next.config.ts`.

# How to migrate from Vite to Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This guide will help you migrate an existing Vite application to Next.js.

## Why Switch?

There are several reasons why you might want to switch from Vite to Next.js:

### Slow initial page loading time

If you have built your application with the [default Vite plugin for React](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/tree/main/packages/plugin-react), your application is a purely client-side application. Client-side only applications, also known as single-page applications (SPAs), often experience slow initial page loading time. This happens due to a couple of reasons:

1. The browser needs to wait for the React code and your entire application bundle to download and run before your code is able to send requests to load some data.
2. Your application code grows with every new feature and extra dependency you add.

### No automatic code splitting

The previous issue of slow loading times can be somewhat managed with code splitting. However, if you try to do code splitting manually, you'll often make performance worse. It's easy to inadvertently introduce network waterfalls when code-splitting manually. Next.js provides automatic code splitting built into its router.

### Network waterfalls

A common cause of poor performance occurs when applications make sequential client-server requests to fetch data. One common pattern for data fetching in an SPA is to initially render a placeholder, and then fetch data after the component has mounted. Unfortunately, this means that a child component that fetches data can't start fetching until the parent component has finished loading its own data.

While fetching data on the client is supported with Next.js, it also gives you the option to shift data fetching to the server, which can eliminate client-server waterfalls.

### Fast and intentional loading states

With built-in support for [streaming through React Suspense](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#streaming), you can be more intentional about which parts of your UI you want to load first and in what order without introducing network waterfalls.

This enables you to build pages that are faster to load and eliminate [layout shifts](https://vercel.com/blog/how-core-web-vitals-affect-seo).

### Choose the data fetching strategy

Depending on your needs, Next.js allows you to choose your data fetching strategy on a page and component basis. You can decide to fetch at build time, at request time on the server, or on the client. For example, you can fetch data from your CMS and render your blog posts at build time, which can then be efficiently cached on a CDN.

### Proxy

[Next.js Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) allows you to run code on the server before a request is completed. This is especially useful to avoid having a flash of unauthenticated content when the user visits an authenticated-only page by redirecting the user to a login page. The proxy is also useful for experimentation and [internationalization](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md).

### Built-in Optimizations

[Images](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md), [fonts](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md), and [third-party scripts](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md) often have significant impact on an application's performance. Next.js comes with built-in components that automatically optimize those for you.

## Migration Steps

Our goal with this migration is to get a working Next.js application as quickly as possible, so that
you can then adopt Next.js features incrementally. To begin with, we'll keep it as a purely
client-side application (SPA) without migrating your existing router. This helps minimize the
chances of encountering issues during the migration process and reduces merge conflicts.

### Step 1: Install the Next.js Dependency

The first thing you need to do is to install `next` as a dependency:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install next@latest
```

### Step 2: Create the Next.js Configuration File

Create a `next.config.mjs` at the root of your project. This file will hold your
[Next.js configuration options](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md).

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export', // Outputs a Single-Page Application (SPA).
  distDir: './dist', // Changes the build output directory to `./dist/`.
}

export default nextConfig
```

> **Good to know:** You can use either `.js` or `.mjs` for your Next.js configuration file.

### Step 3: Update TypeScript Configuration

If you're using TypeScript, you need to update your `tsconfig.json` file with the following changes
to make it compatible with Next.js. If you're not using TypeScript, you can skip this step.

1. Remove the [project reference](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#references) to `tsconfig.node.json`
2. Add `./dist/types/**/*.ts` and `./next-env.d.ts` to the [`include` array](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#include)
3. Add `./node_modules` to the [`exclude` array](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#exclude)
4. Add `{ "name": "next" }` to the [`plugins` array in `compilerOptions`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#plugins): `"plugins": [{ "name": "next" }]`
5. Set [`esModuleInterop`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#esModuleInterop) to `true`: `"esModuleInterop": true`
6. Set [`jsx`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#jsx) to `react-jsx`: `"jsx": "react-jsx"`
7. Set [`allowJs`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#allowJs) to `true`: `"allowJs": true`
8. Set [`forceConsistentCasingInFileNames`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#forceConsistentCasingInFileNames) to `true`: `"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true`
9. Set [`incremental`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#incremental) to `true`: `"incremental": true`

Here's an example of a working `tsconfig.json` with those changes:

```json filename="tsconfig.json"
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
    "lib": ["ES2020", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
    "module": "ESNext",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "strict": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "plugins": [{ "name": "next" }]
  },
  "include": ["./src", "./dist/types/**/*.ts", "./next-env.d.ts"],
  "exclude": ["./node_modules"]
}
```

You can find more information about configuring TypeScript on the
[Next.js docs](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md#ide-plugin).

### Step 4: Create the Root Layout

A Next.js [App Router](/docs/app.md) application must include a
[root layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout)
file, which is a [React Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md)
that will wrap all pages in your application. This file is defined at the top level of the `app`
directory.

The closest equivalent to the root layout file in a Vite application is the
[`index.html` file](https://vitejs.dev/guide/#index-html-and-project-root), which contains your
`<html>`, `<head>`, and `<body>` tags.

In this step, you'll convert your `index.html` file into a root layout file:

1. Create a new `app` directory in your `src` folder.
2. Create a new `layout.tsx` file inside that `app` directory:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return '...'
}
```

> **Good to know**: `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.tsx` extensions can be used for Layout files.

3. Copy the content of your `index.html` file into the previously created `<RootLayout>` component while
   replacing the `body.div#root` and `body.script` tags with `<div id="root">{children}</div>`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/icon.svg" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/icon.svg" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

4. Next.js already includes by default the
   [meta charset](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta#charset) and
   [meta viewport](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_meta_tag) tags, so you
   can safely remove those from your `<head>`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/icon.svg" />
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/icon.svg" />
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

5. Any [metadata files](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md#file-based-metadata)
   such as `favicon.ico`, `icon.png`, `robots.txt` are automatically added to the application
   `<head>` tag as long as you have them placed into the top level of the `app` directory. After
   moving
   [all supported files](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md#file-based-metadata)
   into the `app` directory you can safely delete their `<link>` tags:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>My App</title>
        <meta name="description" content="My App is a..." />
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

6. Finally, Next.js can manage your last `<head>` tags with the
   [Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md). Move your final metadata
   info into an exported
   [`metadata` object](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#metadata-object):

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'My App',
  description: 'My App is a...',
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My App',
  description: 'My App is a...',
}

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div id="root">{children}</div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

With the above changes, you shifted from declaring everything in your `index.html` to using Next.js'
convention-based approach built into the framework
([Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md)). This approach enables you
to more easily improve your SEO and web shareability of your pages.

### Step 5: Create the Entrypoint Page

On Next.js you declare an entrypoint for your application by creating a `page.tsx` file. The
closest equivalent of this file on Vite is your `main.tsx` file. In this step, you’ll set up the
entrypoint of your application.

1. **Create a `[[...slug]]` directory in your `app` directory.**

Since in this guide we're aiming first to set up our Next.js as an SPA (Single Page Application), you need your page entrypoint to catch all possible routes of your application. For that, create a new `[[...slug]]` directory in your `app` directory.

This directory is what is called an [optional catch-all route segment](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md#optional-catch-all-segments). Next.js uses a file-system based router where folders are used to define routes. This special directory will make sure that all routes of your application will be directed to its containing `page.tsx` file.

2. **Create a new `page.tsx` file inside the `app/[[...slug]]` directory with the following content:**

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.tsx" switcher
import '../../index.css'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...' // We'll update this
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.js" switcher
import '../../index.css'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return '...' // We'll update this
}
```

> **Good to know**: `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.tsx` extensions can be used for Page files.

This file is a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md). When you run `next build`, the file is prerendered into a static asset. It does *not* require any dynamic code.

This file imports our global CSS and tells [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) we are only going to generate one route, the index route at `/`.

Now, let's move the rest of our Vite application which will run client-only.

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/client.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import React from 'react'
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const App = dynamic(() => import('../../App'), { ssr: false })

export function ClientOnly() {
  return <App />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/client.js" switcher
'use client'

import React from 'react'
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const App = dynamic(() => import('../../App'), { ssr: false })

export function ClientOnly() {
  return <App />
}
```

This file is a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), defined by the `'use client'`
directive. Client Components are still [prerendered to HTML](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#how-do-server-and-client-components-work-in-nextjs) on the server before being sent to the client.

Since we want a client-only application to start, we can configure Next.js to disable prerendering from the `App` component down.

```tsx
const App = dynamic(() => import('../../App'), { ssr: false })
```

Now, update your entrypoint page to use the new component:

```tsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.tsx" switcher
import '../../index.css'
import { ClientOnly } from './client'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return <ClientOnly />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[[...slug]]/page.js" switcher
import '../../index.css'
import { ClientOnly } from './client'

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: [''] }]
}

export default function Page() {
  return <ClientOnly />
}
```

### Step 6: Update Static Image Imports

Next.js handles static image imports slightly different from Vite. With Vite, importing an image
file will return its public URL as a string:

```tsx filename="App.tsx"
import image from './img.png' // `image` will be '/assets/img.2d8efhg.png' in production

export default function App() {
  return <img src={image} />
}
```

With Next.js, static image imports return an object. The object can then be used directly with the
Next.js [`<Image>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md), or you can use the object's
`src` property with your existing `<img>` tag.

The `<Image>` component has the added benefits of
[automatic image optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md). The `<Image>`
component automatically sets the `width` and `height` attributes of the resulting `<img>` based on
the image's dimensions. This prevents layout shifts when the image loads. However, this can cause
issues if your app contains images with only one of their dimensions being styled without the other
styled to `auto`. When not styled to `auto`, the dimension will default to the `<img>` dimension
attribute's value, which can cause the image to appear distorted.

Keeping the `<img>` tag will reduce the amount of changes in your application and prevent the above
issues. You can then optionally later migrate to the `<Image>` component to take advantage of optimizing images by [configuring a loader](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#loader), or moving to the default Next.js server which has automatic image optimization.

1. **Convert absolute import paths for images imported from `/public` into relative imports:**

```tsx
// Before
import logo from '/logo.png'

// After
import logo from '../public/logo.png'
```

2. **Pass the image `src` property instead of the whole image object to your `<img>` tag:**

```tsx
// Before
<img src={logo} />

// After
<img src={logo.src} />
```

Alternatively, you can reference the public URL for the image asset based on the filename. For example, `public/logo.png` will serve the image at `/logo.png` for your application, which would be the `src` value.

> **Warning:** If you're using TypeScript, you might encounter type errors when accessing the `src`
> property. You can safely ignore those for now. They will be fixed by the end of this guide.

### Step 7: Migrate the Environment Variables

Next.js has support for `.env`
[environment variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md)
similar to Vite. The main difference is the prefix used to expose environment variables on the
client-side.

* Change all environment variables with the `VITE_` prefix to `NEXT_PUBLIC_`.

Vite exposes a few built-in environment variables on the special `import.meta.env` object which
aren’t supported by Next.js. You need to update their usage as follows:

* `import.meta.env.MODE` ⇒ `process.env.NODE_ENV`
* `import.meta.env.PROD` ⇒ `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'`
* `import.meta.env.DEV` ⇒ `process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'`
* `import.meta.env.SSR` ⇒ `typeof window !== 'undefined'`

Next.js also doesn't provide a built-in `BASE_URL` environment variable. However, you can still
configure one, if you need it:

1. **Add the following to your `.env` file:**

```bash filename=".env"
# ...
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH="/some-base-path"
```

2. **Set [`basePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md) to `process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH` in your `next.config.mjs` file:**

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export', // Outputs a Single-Page Application (SPA).
  distDir: './dist', // Changes the build output directory to `./dist/`.
  basePath: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH, // Sets the base path to `/some-base-path`.
}

export default nextConfig
```

3. **Update `import.meta.env.BASE_URL` usages to `process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH`**

### Step 8: Update Scripts in `package.json`

You should now be able to run your application to test if you successfully migrated to Next.js. But
before that, you need to update your `scripts` in your `package.json` with Next.js related commands,
and add `.next` and `next-env.d.ts` to your `.gitignore`:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
```

```txt filename=".gitignore"
# ...
.next
next-env.d.ts
dist
```

Now run `npm run dev`, and open [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000). You should see your application now running on Next.js.

> **Example:** Check out [this pull request](https://github.com/inngest/vite-to-nextjs/pull/1) for a
> working example of a Vite application migrated to Next.js.

### Step 9: Clean Up

You can now clean up your codebase from Vite related artifacts:

* Delete `main.tsx`
* Delete `index.html`
* Delete `vite-env.d.ts`
* Delete `tsconfig.node.json`
* Delete `vite.config.ts`
* Uninstall Vite dependencies

## Next Steps

If everything went according to plan, you now have a functioning Next.js application running as a
single-page application. However, you aren't yet taking advantage of most of Next.js' benefits, but
you can now start making incremental changes to reap all the benefits. Here's what you might want to
do next:

* Migrate from React Router to the [Next.js App Router](/docs/app.md) to get:
  * Automatic code splitting
  * [Streaming Server-Rendering](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md)
  * [React Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md)
* [Optimize images with the `<Image>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md)
* [Optimize fonts with `next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md)
* [Optimize third-party scripts with the `<Script>` component](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md)
* [Update your ESLint configuration to support Next.js rules](/docs/app/api-reference/config/eslint.md)

# generateImageMetadata
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can use `generateImageMetadata` to generate different versions of one image or return multiple images for one route segment. This is useful for when you want to avoid hard-coding metadata values, such as for icons.

## Parameters

`generateImageMetadata` function accepts the following parameters:

#### `params` (optional)

An object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) object from the root segment down to the segment `generateImageMetadata` is called from.

```tsx filename="icon.tsx" switcher
export function generateImageMetadata({
  params,
}: {
  params: { slug: string }
}) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js" switcher
export function generateImageMetadata({ params }) {
  // ...
}
```

| Route                           | URL         | `params`                  |
| ------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------- |
| `app/shop/icon.js`              | `/shop`     | `undefined`               |
| `app/shop/[slug]/icon.js`       | `/shop/1`   | `{ slug: '1' }`           |
| `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/icon.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `{ tag: '1', item: '2' }` |

## Returns

The `generateImageMetadata` function should return an `array` of objects containing the image's metadata such as `alt` and `size`. In addition, each item **must** include an `id` value which will be passed as a promise to the props of the image generating function.

| Image Metadata Object | Type                                |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `id`                  | `string` (required)                 |
| `alt`                 | `string`                            |
| `size`                | `{ width: number; height: number }` |
| `contentType`         | `string`                            |

```tsx filename="icon.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export function generateImageMetadata() {
  return [
    {
      contentType: 'image/png',
      size: { width: 48, height: 48 },
      id: 'small',
    },
    {
      contentType: 'image/png',
      size: { width: 72, height: 72 },
      id: 'medium',
    },
  ]
}

export default async function Icon({ id }: { id: Promise<string | number> }) {
  const iconId = await id
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
          fontSize: 88,
          background: '#000',
          color: '#fafafa',
        }}
      >
        Icon {iconId}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export function generateImageMetadata() {
  return [
    {
      contentType: 'image/png',
      size: { width: 48, height: 48 },
      id: 'small',
    },
    {
      contentType: 'image/png',
      size: { width: 72, height: 72 },
      id: 'medium',
    },
  ]
}

export default async function Icon({ id }) {
  const iconId = await id
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
          fontSize: 88,
          background: '#000',
          color: '#fafafa',
        }}
      >
        Icon {iconId}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

## Image generation function props

When using `generateImageMetadata`, the default export image generation function receives the following props:

#### `id`

A promise that resolves to the `id` value from one of the items returned by `generateImageMetadata`. The `id` will be a `string` or `number` depending on what was returned from `generateImageMetadata`.

```tsx filename="icon.tsx" switcher
export default async function Icon({ id }: { id: Promise<string | number> }) {
  const iconId = await id
  // Use iconId to generate the image
}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js" switcher
export default async function Icon({ id }) {
  const iconId = await id
  // Use iconId to generate the image
}
```

#### `params` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) from the root segment down to the segment the image is colocated in.

```tsx filename="icon.tsx" switcher
export default async function Icon({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // Use slug to generate the image
}
```

```jsx filename="icon.js" switcher
export default async function Icon({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // Use slug to generate the image
}
```

### Examples

#### Using external data

This example uses the `params` object and external data to generate multiple [Open Graph images](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md) for a route segment.

```tsx filename="app/products/[id]/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { getCaptionForImage, getOGImages } from '@/app/utils/images'

export async function generateImageMetadata({
  params,
}: {
  params: { id: string }
}) {
  const images = await getOGImages(params.id)

  return images.map((image, idx) => ({
    id: idx,
    size: { width: 1200, height: 600 },
    alt: image.text,
    contentType: 'image/png',
  }))
}

export default async function Image({
  params,
  id,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
  id: Promise<number>
}) {
  const productId = (await params).id
  const imageId = await id
  const text = await getCaptionForImage(productId, imageId)

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={
          {
            // ...
          }
        }
      >
        {text}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[id]/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { getCaptionForImage, getOGImages } from '@/app/utils/images'

export async function generateImageMetadata({ params }) {
  const images = await getOGImages(params.id)

  return images.map((image, idx) => ({
    id: idx,
    size: { width: 1200, height: 600 },
    alt: image.text,
    contentType: 'image/png',
  }))
}

export default async function Image({ params, id }) {
  const productId = (await params).id
  const imageId = await id
  const text = await getCaptionForImage(productId, imageId)

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={
          {
            // ...
          }
        }
      >
        {text}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

# generateMetadata
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can use the `metadata` object or the `generateMetadata` function to define metadata.

## The `metadata` object

To define static metadata, export a [`Metadata` object](#metadata-fields) from a `layout.js` or `page.js` file.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: '...',
  description: '...',
}

export default function Page() {}
```

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: '...',
  description: '...',
}

export default function Page() {}
```

> See the [Metadata Fields](#metadata-fields) for a complete list of supported options.

## `generateMetadata` function

Dynamic metadata depends on **dynamic information**, such as the current route parameters, external data, or `metadata` in parent segments, can be set by exporting a `generateMetadata` function that returns a [`Metadata` object](#metadata-fields).

Resolving `generateMetadata` is part of rendering the page. If the page can be pre-rendered and `generateMetadata` doesn't introduce dynamic behavior, the resulting metadata is included in the page’s initial HTML.

Otherwise the metadata resolved from `generateMetadata` [can be streamed](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#streaming-metadata) after sending the initial UI.

```tsx filename="app/products/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata, ResolvingMetadata } from 'next'

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}

export async function generateMetadata(
  { params, searchParams }: Props,
  parent: ResolvingMetadata
): Promise<Metadata> {
  // read route params
  const { id } = await params

  // fetch data
  const product = await fetch(`https://.../${id}`).then((res) => res.json())

  // optionally access and extend (rather than replace) parent metadata
  const previousImages = (await parent).openGraph?.images || []

  return {
    title: product.title,
    openGraph: {
      images: ['/some-specific-page-image.jpg', ...previousImages],
    },
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }: Props) {}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[id]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateMetadata({ params, searchParams }, parent) {
  // read route params
  const { id } = await params

  // fetch data
  const product = await fetch(`https://.../${id}`).then((res) => res.json())

  // optionally access and extend (rather than replace) parent metadata
  const previousImages = (await parent).openGraph?.images || []

  return {
    title: product.title,
    openGraph: {
      images: ['/some-specific-page-image.jpg', ...previousImages],
    },
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {}
```

For type completion of `params` and `searchParams`, you can type the first argument with [`PageProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#page-props-helper) or [`LayoutProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#layout-props-helper) for pages and layouts respectively.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Metadata can be added to `layout.js` and `page.js` files.
> * Next.js will automatically resolve the metadata, and create the relevant `<head>` tags for the page.
> * The `metadata` object and `generateMetadata` function exports are **only supported in Server Components**.
> * You cannot export both the `metadata` object and `generateMetadata` function from the same route segment.
> * `fetch` requests inside `generateMetadata` are automatically [memoized](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#request-memoization) for the same data across `generateMetadata`, `generateStaticParams`, Layouts, Pages, and Server Components.
> * React [`cache` can be used](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#react-cache-function) if `fetch` is unavailable.
> * [File-based metadata](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata.md) has the higher priority and will override the `metadata` object and `generateMetadata` function.

## Reference

### Parameters

`generateMetadata` function accepts the following parameters:

* `props` - An object containing the parameters of the current route:
  * `params` - An object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) object from the root segment down to the segment `generateMetadata` is called from. Examples:

    | Route                           | URL         | `params`                  |
    | ------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------- |
    | `app/shop/[slug]/page.js`       | `/shop/1`   | `{ slug: '1' }`           |
    | `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/page.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `{ tag: '1', item: '2' }` |
    | `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js`    | `/shop/1/2` | `{ slug: ['1', '2'] }`    |

  * `searchParams` - An object containing the current URL's [search params](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_is_a_URL#parameters). Examples:

    | URL             | `searchParams`       |
    | --------------- | -------------------- |
    | `/shop?a=1`     | `{ a: '1' }`         |
    | `/shop?a=1&b=2` | `{ a: '1', b: '2' }` |
    | `/shop?a=1&a=2` | `{ a: ['1', '2'] }`  |

* `parent` - A promise of the resolved metadata from parent route segments.

### Returns

`generateMetadata` should return a [`Metadata` object](#metadata-fields) containing one or more metadata fields.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If metadata doesn't depend on runtime information, it should be defined using the static [`metadata` object](#the-metadata-object) rather than `generateMetadata`.
> * `fetch` requests are automatically [memoized](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#request-memoization) for the same data across `generateMetadata`, `generateStaticParams`, Layouts, Pages, and Server Components. React [`cache` can be used](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#react-cache-function) if `fetch` is unavailable.
> * `searchParams` are only available in `page.js` segments.
> * The [`redirect()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) and [`notFound()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) Next.js methods can also be used inside `generateMetadata`.

### Metadata Fields

The following fields are supported:

#### `title`

The `title` attribute is used to set the title of the document. It can be defined as a simple [string](#string) or an optional [template object](#template).

##### String

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Next.js',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<title>Next.js</title>
```

##### `default`

`title.default` can be used to provide a **fallback title** to child route segments that don't define a `title`.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    default: 'Acme',
  },
}
```

```tsx filename="app/about/page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {}

// Output: <title>Acme</title>
```

##### `template`

`title.template` can be used to add a prefix or a suffix to `titles` defined in **child** route segments.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    template: '%s | Acme',
    default: 'Acme', // a default is required when creating a template
  },
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: {
    template: '%s | Acme',
    default: 'Acme', // a default is required when creating a template
  },
}
```

```tsx filename="app/about/page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'About',
}

// Output: <title>About | Acme</title>
```

```jsx filename="app/about/page.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'About',
}

// Output: <title>About | Acme</title>
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `title.template` applies to **child** route segments and **not** the segment it's defined in. This means:
>   * `title.default` is **required** when you add a `title.template`.
>   * `title.template` defined in `layout.js` will not apply to a `title` defined in a `page.js` of the same route segment.
>   * `title.template` defined in `page.js` has no effect because a page is always the terminating segment (it doesn't have any children route segments).
> * `title.template` has **no effect** if a route has not defined a `title` or `title.default`.

##### `absolute`

`title.absolute` can be used to provide a title that **ignores** `title.template` set in parent segments.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    template: '%s | Acme',
  },
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: {
    template: '%s | Acme',
  },
}
```

```tsx filename="app/about/page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    absolute: 'About',
  },
}

// Output: <title>About</title>
```

```jsx filename="app/about/page.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: {
    absolute: 'About',
  },
}

// Output: <title>About</title>
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `layout.js`
>   * `title` (string) and `title.default` define the default title for child segments (that do not define their own `title`). It will augment `title.template` from the closest parent segment if it exists.
>   * `title.absolute` defines the default title for child segments. It ignores `title.template` from parent segments.
>   * `title.template` defines a new title template for child segments.
> * `page.js`
>   * If a page does not define its own title the closest parents resolved title will be used.
>   * `title` (string) defines the routes title. It will augment `title.template` from the closest parent segment if it exists.
>   * `title.absolute` defines the route title. It ignores `title.template` from parent segments.
>   * `title.template` has no effect in `page.js` because a page is always the terminating segment of a route.

### `description`

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  description: 'The React Framework for the Web',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="description" content="The React Framework for the Web" />
```

### Other fields

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  generator: 'Next.js',
  applicationName: 'Next.js',
  referrer: 'origin-when-cross-origin',
  keywords: ['Next.js', 'React', 'JavaScript'],
  authors: [{ name: 'Seb' }, { name: 'Josh', url: 'https://nextjs.org' }],
  creator: 'Jiachi Liu',
  publisher: 'Sebastian Markbåge',
  formatDetection: {
    email: false,
    address: false,
    telephone: false,
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="application-name" content="Next.js" />
<meta name="author" content="Seb" />
<link rel="author" href="https://nextjs.org" />
<meta name="author" content="Josh" />
<meta name="generator" content="Next.js" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Next.js,React,JavaScript" />
<meta name="referrer" content="origin-when-cross-origin" />
<meta name="color-scheme" content="dark" />
<meta name="creator" content="Jiachi Liu" />
<meta name="publisher" content="Sebastian Markbåge" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no, address=no, email=no" />
```

#### `metadataBase`

`metadataBase` is a convenience option to set a base URL prefix for `metadata` fields that require a fully qualified URL.

* `metadataBase` allows URL-based `metadata` fields defined in the **current route segment and below** to use a **relative path** instead of an otherwise required absolute URL.
* The field's relative path will be composed with `metadataBase` to form a fully qualified URL.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  metadataBase: new URL('https://acme.com'),
  alternates: {
    canonical: '/',
    languages: {
      'en-US': '/en-US',
      'de-DE': '/de-DE',
    },
  },
  openGraph: {
    images: '/og-image.png',
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="canonical" href="https://acme.com" />

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `metadataBase` is typically set in root `app/layout.js` to apply to URL-based `metadata` fields across all routes.
> * All URL-based `metadata` fields that require absolute URLs can be configured with a `metadataBase` option.
> * `metadataBase` can contain a subdomain e.g. `https://app.acme.com` or base path e.g. `https://acme.com/start/from/here`
> * If a `metadata` field provides an absolute URL, `metadataBase` will be ignored.
> * Using a relative path in a URL-based `metadata` field without configuring a `metadataBase` will cause a build error.
> * Next.js will normalize duplicate slashes between `metadataBase` (e.g. `https://acme.com/`) and a relative field (e.g. `/path`) to a single slash (e.g. `https://acme.com/path`)

#### URL Composition

URL composition favors developer intent over default directory traversal semantics.

* Trailing slashes between `metadataBase` and `metadata` fields are normalized.
* An "absolute" path in a `metadata` field (that typically would replace the whole URL path) is treated as a "relative" path (starting from the end of `metadataBase`).

For example, given the following `metadataBase`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  metadataBase: new URL('https://acme.com'),
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  metadataBase: new URL('https://acme.com'),
}
```

Any `metadata` fields that inherit the above `metadataBase` and set their own value will be resolved as follows:

| `metadata` field                 | Resolved URL                     |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `/`                              | `https://acme.com`               |
| `./`                             | `https://acme.com`               |
| `payments`                       | `https://acme.com/payments`      |
| `/payments`                      | `https://acme.com/payments`      |
| `./payments`                     | `https://acme.com/payments`      |
| `../payments`                    | `https://acme.com/payments`      |
| `https://beta.acme.com/payments` | `https://beta.acme.com/payments` |

### `openGraph`

> * It may be more convenient to use the [file-based Metadata API](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md#image-files-jpg-png-gif) for Open Graph images. Rather than having to sync the config export with actual files, the file-based API will automatically generate the correct metadata for you.

### `robots`

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  robots: {
    index: true,
    follow: true,
    nocache: false,
    googleBot: {
      index: true,
      follow: true,
      noimageindex: false,
      'max-video-preview': -1,
      'max-image-preview': 'large',
      'max-snippet': -1,
    },
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta
  name="googlebot"
  content="index, follow, max-video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1"

```

### `icons`

> **Good to know**: We recommend using the [file-based Metadata API](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md#image-files-ico-jpg-png) for icons where possible. Rather than having to sync the config export with actual files, the file-based API will automatically generate the correct metadata for you.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  icons: {
    icon: '/icon.png',
    shortcut: '/shortcut-icon.png',
    apple: '/apple-icon.png',
    other: {
      rel: 'apple-touch-icon-precomposed',
      url: '/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png',
    },
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/shortcut-icon.png" />
<link rel="icon" href="/icon.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-icon.png" />
<link

  href="/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png"
/>
```

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  icons: {
    icon: [
      { url: '/icon.png' },
      new URL('/icon.png', 'https://example.com'),
      { url: '/icon-dark.png', media: '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)' },
    ],
    shortcut: ['/shortcut-icon.png'],
    apple: [
      { url: '/apple-icon.png' },
      { url: '/apple-icon-x3.png', sizes: '180x180', type: 'image/png' },
    ],
    other: [
      {
        rel: 'apple-touch-icon-precomposed',
        url: '/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/shortcut-icon.png" />
<link rel="icon" href="/icon.png" />

```

### `archives`

Describes a collection of records, documents, or other materials of historical interest ([source](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110113/links.html#rel-archives)).

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  archives: ['https://nextjs.org/13'],
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="archives" href="https://nextjs.org/13" />
```

### `assets`

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  assets: ['https://nextjs.org/assets'],
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="assets" href="https://nextjs.org/assets" />
```

### `bookmarks`

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  bookmarks: ['https://nextjs.org/13'],
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="bookmarks" href="https://nextjs.org/13" />
```

### `category`

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  category: 'technology',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="category" content="technology" />
```

### `facebook`

You can connect a Facebook app or Facebook account to your webpage for certain Facebook Social Plugins [Facebook Documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/#moderation-setup-instructions)

> **Good to know**: You can specify either appId or admins, but not both.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  facebook: {
    appId: '12345678',
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="12345678" />
```

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  facebook: {
    admins: '12345678',
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta property="fb:admins" content="12345678" />
```

If you want to generate multiple fb:admins meta tags you can use array value.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  facebook: {
    admins: ['12345678', '87654321'],
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta property="fb:admins" content="12345678" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="87654321" />
```

### `pinterest`

You can enable or disable [Pinterest Rich Pins](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/web-features/rich-pins-overview/) on your webpage.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  pinterest: {
    richPin: true,
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="pinterest-rich-pin" content="true" />
```

### `other`

All metadata options should be covered using the built-in support. However, there may be custom metadata tags specific to your site, or brand new metadata tags just released. You can use the `other` option to render any custom metadata tag.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  other: {
    custom: 'meta',
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="custom" content="meta" />
```

If you want to generate multiple same key meta tags you can use array value.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js"
export const metadata = {
  other: {
    custom: ['meta1', 'meta2'],
  },
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="custom" content="meta1" /> <meta name="custom" content="meta2" />
```

### Types

You can add type safety to your metadata by using the `Metadata` type. If you are using the [built-in TypeScript plugin](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md) in your IDE, you do not need to manually add the type, but you can still explicitly add it if you want.

#### `metadata` object

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Next.js',
}
```

#### `generateMetadata` function

##### Regular function

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export function generateMetadata(): Metadata {
  return {
    title: 'Next.js',
  }
}
```

##### Async function

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export async function generateMetadata(): Promise<Metadata> {
  return {
    title: 'Next.js',
  }
}
```

##### With segment props

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}

export function generateMetadata({ params, searchParams }: Props): Metadata {
  return {
    title: 'Next.js',
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }: Props) {}
```

##### With parent metadata

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx"
import type { Metadata, ResolvingMetadata } from 'next'

export async function generateMetadata(
  { params, searchParams }: Props,
  parent: ResolvingMetadata
): Promise<Metadata> {
  return {
    title: 'Next.js',
  }
}
```

##### JavaScript Projects

For JavaScript projects, you can use JSDoc to add type safety.

```js filename="layout.js | page.js"
/** @type {import("next").Metadata} */
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Next.js',
}
```

### Unsupported Metadata

The following metadata types do not currently have built-in support. However, they can still be rendered in the layout or page itself.

| Metadata                      | Recommendation                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

### Resource hints

The `<link>` element has a number of `rel` keywords that can be used to hint to the browser that an external resource is likely to be needed. The browser uses this information to apply preloading optimizations depending on the keyword.

While the Metadata API doesn't directly support these hints, you can use new [`ReactDOM` methods](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26237) to safely insert them into the `<head>` of the document.

```tsx filename="app/preload-resources.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'

export function PreloadResources() {
  ReactDOM.preload('...', { as: '...' })
  ReactDOM.preconnect('...', { crossOrigin: '...' })
  ReactDOM.prefetchDNS('...')

  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/preload-resources.js" switcher
'use client'

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'

export function PreloadResources() {
  ReactDOM.preload('...', { as: '...' })
  ReactDOM.preconnect('...', { crossOrigin: '...' })
  ReactDOM.prefetchDNS('...')

  return '...'
}
```

#### `<link rel="preload">`

Start loading a resource early in the page rendering (browser) lifecycle. [MDN Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel/preload).

```tsx
ReactDOM.preload(href: string, options: { as: string })
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="preload" href="..." as="..." />
```

##### `<link rel="preconnect">`

Preemptively initiate a connection to an origin. [MDN Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel/preconnect).

```tsx
ReactDOM.preconnect(href: string, options?: { crossOrigin?: string })
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="preconnect" href="..." crossorigin />
```

#### `<link rel="dns-prefetch">`

Attempt to resolve a domain name before resources get requested. [MDN Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel/dns-prefetch).

```tsx
ReactDOM.prefetchDNS(href: string)
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="..." />
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * These methods are currently only supported in Client Components, which are still Server Side Rendered on initial page load.
> * Next.js in-built features such as `next/font`, `next/image` and `next/script` automatically handle relevant resource hints.

## Behavior

### Default Fields

There are two default `meta` tags that are always added even if a route doesn't define metadata:

* The [meta charset tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta#attr-charset) sets the character encoding for the website.
* The [meta viewport tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_meta_tag) sets the viewport width and scale for the website to adjust for different devices.

```html
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
```

> **Good to know**: You can overwrite the default [`viewport`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#viewport) meta tag.

### Streaming metadata

Streaming metadata allows Next.js to render and send the initial UI to the browser, without waiting for `generateMetadata` to complete.

When `generateMetadata` resolves, the resulting metadata tags are appended to the `<body>` tag. We have verified that metadata is interpreted correctly by bots that execute JavaScript and inspect the full DOM (e.g. `Googlebot`).

For **HTML-limited bots** that can’t execute JavaScript (e.g. `facebookexternalhit`), metadata continues to block page rendering. The resulting metadata will be available in the `<head>` tag.

Next.js automatically detects **HTML-limited bots** by looking at the User Agent header. You can use the [`htmlLimitedBots`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/htmlLimitedBots.md) option in your Next.js config file to override the default [User Agent list](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/shared/lib/router/utils/html-bots.ts).

To fully disable streaming metadata:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const config: NextConfig = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /.*/,
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /.*/,
}
```

Streaming metadata improves perceived performance by reducing [TTFB](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Time_to_first_byte) and can help lowering [LCP](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Largest_contentful_paint) time.

Overriding `htmlLimitedBots` could lead to longer response times. Streaming metadata is an advanced feature, and the default should be sufficient for most cases.

### Ordering

Metadata is evaluated in order, starting from the root segment down to the segment closest to the final `page.js` segment. For example:

1. `app/layout.tsx` (Root Layout)
2. `app/blog/layout.tsx` (Nested Blog Layout)
3. `app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx` (Blog Page)

### Merging

Following the [evaluation order](#ordering), Metadata objects exported from multiple segments in the same route are **shallowly** merged together to form the final metadata output of a route. Duplicate keys are **replaced** based on their ordering.

This means metadata with nested fields such as [`openGraph`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#opengraph) and [`robots`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#robots) that are defined in an earlier segment are **overwritten** by the last segment to define them.

#### Overwriting fields

```jsx filename="app/layout.js"
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Acme',
  openGraph: {
    title: 'Acme',
    description: 'Acme is a...',
  },
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js"
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Blog',
  openGraph: {
    title: 'Blog',
  },
}

// Output:
// <title>Blog</title>
// <meta property="og:title" content="Blog" />
```

In the example above:

* `title` from `app/layout.js` is **replaced** by `title` in `app/blog/page.js`.
* All `openGraph` fields from `app/layout.js` are **replaced** in `app/blog/page.js` because `app/blog/page.js` sets `openGraph` metadata. Note the absence of `openGraph.description`.

If you'd like to share some nested fields between segments while overwriting others, you can pull them out into a separate variable:

```jsx filename="app/shared-metadata.js"
export const openGraphImage = { images: ['http://...'] }
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { openGraphImage } from './shared-metadata'

export const metadata = {
  openGraph: {
    ...openGraphImage,
    title: 'Home',
  },
}
```

```jsx filename="app/about/page.js"
import { openGraphImage } from '../shared-metadata'

export const metadata = {
  openGraph: {
    ...openGraphImage,
    title: 'About',
  },
}
```

In the example above, the OG image is shared between `app/layout.js` and `app/about/page.js` while the titles are different.

#### Inheriting fields

```jsx filename="app/layout.js"
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Acme',
  openGraph: {
    title: 'Acme',
    description: 'Acme is a...',
  },
}
```

```jsx filename="app/about/page.js"
export const metadata = {
  title: 'About',
}

// Output:
// <title>About</title>
// <meta property="og:title" content="Acme" />
// <meta property="og:description" content="Acme is a..." />
```

**Notes**

* `title` from `app/layout.js` is **replaced** by `title` in `app/about/page.js`.
* All `openGraph` fields from `app/layout.js` are **inherited** in `app/about/page.js` because `app/about/page.js` doesn't set `openGraph` metadata.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-sitemaps.md

# generateSitemaps
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can use the `generateSitemaps` function to generate multiple sitemaps for your application.

## Returns

The `generateSitemaps` returns an array of objects with an `id` property.

## URLs

Your generated sitemaps will be available at `/.../sitemap/[id].xml`. For example, `/product/sitemap/1.xml`.

## Example

For example, to split a sitemap using `generateSitemaps`, return an array of objects with the sitemap `id`. Then, use the `id` to generate the unique sitemaps.

```ts filename="app/product/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'
import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
  // Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap(props: {
  id: Promise<number>
}): Promise<MetadataRoute.Sitemap> {
  const id = await props.id
  // Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
  const start = id * 50000
  const end = start + 50000
  const products = await getProducts(
    `SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
  )
  return products.map((product) => ({
    url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${product.id}`,
    lastModified: product.date,
  }))
}
```

```js filename="app/product/sitemap.js" switcher
import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
  // Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap(props) {
  const id = await props.id
  // Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
  const start = id * 50000
  const end = start + 50000
  const products = await getProducts(
    `SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
  )
  return products.map((product) => ({
    url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${product.id}`,
    lastModified: product.date,
  }))
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md

# generateStaticParams
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `generateStaticParams` function can be used in combination with [dynamic route segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) to [**statically generate**](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) routes at build time instead of on-demand at request time.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
// Return a list of `params` to populate the [slug] dynamic segment
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}

// Multiple versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
// Return a list of `params` to populate the [slug] dynamic segment
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}

// Multiple versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * You can use the [`dynamicParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams) segment config option to control what happens when a dynamic segment is visited that was not generated with `generateStaticParams`.
> * You must return [an empty array from `generateStaticParams`](#all-paths-at-build-time) or utilize [`export const dynamic = 'force-static'`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic) in order to revalidate (ISR) [paths at runtime](#all-paths-at-runtime).
> * During `next dev`, `generateStaticParams` will be called when you navigate to a route.
> * During `next build`, `generateStaticParams` runs before the corresponding Layouts or Pages are generated.
> * During revalidation (ISR), `generateStaticParams` will not be called again.
> * `generateStaticParams` replaces the [`getStaticPaths`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md) function in the Pages Router.

## Parameters

`options.params` (optional)

If multiple dynamic segments in a route use `generateStaticParams`, the child `generateStaticParams` function is executed once for each set of `params` the parent generates.

The `params` object contains the populated `params` from the parent `generateStaticParams`, which can be used to [generate the `params` in a child segment](#multiple-dynamic-segments-in-a-route).

## Returns

`generateStaticParams` should return an array of objects where each object represents the populated dynamic segments of a single route.

* Each property in the object is a dynamic segment to be filled in for the route.
* The properties name is the segment's name, and the properties value is what that segment should be filled in with.

| Example Route                    | `generateStaticParams` Return Type        |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `/product/[id]`                  | `{ id: string }[]`                        |
| `/products/[category]/[product]` | `{ category: string, product: string }[]` |
| `/products/[...slug]`            | `{ slug: string[] }[]`                    |

## Single Dynamic Segment

```tsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ id: '1' }, { id: '2' }, { id: '3' }]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /product/1
// - /product/2
// - /product/3
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.js" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ id: '1' }, { id: '2' }, { id: '3' }]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /product/1
// - /product/2
// - /product/3
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  // ...
}
```

## Multiple Dynamic Segments

```tsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.tsx" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [
    { category: 'a', product: '1' },
    { category: 'b', product: '2' },
    { category: 'c', product: '3' },
  ]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /products/a/1
// - /products/b/2
// - /products/c/3
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ category: string; product: string }>
}) {
  const { category, product } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.js" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [
    { category: 'a', product: '1' },
    { category: 'b', product: '2' },
    { category: 'c', product: '3' },
  ]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /products/a/1
// - /products/b/2
// - /products/c/3
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { category, product } = await params
  // ...
}
```

## Catch-all Dynamic Segment

```tsx filename="app/product/[...slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: ['a', '1'] }, { slug: ['b', '2'] }, { slug: ['c', '3'] }]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /product/a/1
// - /product/b/2
// - /product/c/3
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string[] }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/product/[...slug]/page.js" switcher
export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: ['a', '1'] }, { slug: ['b', '2'] }, { slug: ['c', '3'] }]
}

// Three versions of this page will be statically generated
// using the `params` returned by `generateStaticParams`
// - /product/a/1
// - /product/b/2
// - /product/c/3
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

## Examples

### Static Rendering

#### All paths at build time

To statically render all paths at build time, supply the full list of paths to `generateStaticParams`:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

#### Subset of paths at build time

To statically render a subset of paths at build time, and the rest the first time they're visited at runtime, return a partial list of paths:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  // Render the first 10 posts at build time
  return posts.slice(0, 10).map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  // Render the first 10 posts at build time
  return posts.slice(0, 10).map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

Then, by using the [`dynamicParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams) segment config option, you can control what happens when a dynamic segment is visited that was not generated with `generateStaticParams`.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
// All posts besides the top 10 will be a 404
export const dynamicParams = false

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())
  const topPosts = posts.slice(0, 10)

  return topPosts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
// All posts besides the top 10 will be a 404
export const dynamicParams = false

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())
  const topPosts = posts.slice(0, 10)

  return topPosts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}
```

#### All paths at runtime

To statically render all paths the first time they're visited, return an empty array (no paths will be rendered at build time) or utilize [`export const dynamic = 'force-static'`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic):

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js"
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return []
}
```

> **Good to know:** You must always return an array from `generateStaticParams`, even if it's empty. Otherwise, the route will be dynamically rendered.

```jsx filename="app/changelog/[slug]/page.js"
export const dynamic = 'force-static'
```

### Disable rendering for unspecified paths

To prevent unspecified paths from being statically rendered at runtime, add the `export const dynamicParams = false` option in a route segment. When this config option is used, only paths provided by `generateStaticParams` will be served, and unspecified routes will 404 or match (in the case of [catch-all routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md#catch-all-segments)).

### Multiple Dynamic Segments in a Route

You can generate params for dynamic segments above the current layout or page, but **not below**. For example, given the `app/products/[category]/[product]` route:

* `app/products/[category]/[product]/page.js` can generate params for **both** `[category]` and `[product]`.
* `app/products/[category]/layout.js` can **only** generate params for `[category]`.

There are two approaches to generating params for a route with multiple dynamic segments:

#### Generate params from the bottom up

Generate multiple dynamic segments from the child route segment.

```tsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.tsx" switcher
// Generate segments for both [category] and [product]
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const products = await fetch('https://.../products').then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    category: product.category.slug,
    product: product.id,
  }))
}

export default function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ category: string; product: string }>
}) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.js" switcher
// Generate segments for both [category] and [product]
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const products = await fetch('https://.../products').then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    category: product.category.slug,
    product: product.id,
  }))
}

export default function Page({ params }) {
  // ...
}
```

#### Generate params from the top down

Generate the parent segments first and use the result to generate the child segments.

```tsx filename="app/products/[category]/layout.tsx" switcher
// Generate segments for [category]
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const products = await fetch('https://.../products').then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    category: product.category.slug,
  }))
}

export default function Layout({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ category: string }>
}) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[category]/layout.js" switcher
// Generate segments for [category]
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const products = await fetch('https://.../products').then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    category: product.category.slug,
  }))
}

export default function Layout({ params }) {
  // ...
}
```

A child route segment's `generateStaticParams` function is executed once for each segment a parent `generateStaticParams` generates.

The child `generateStaticParams` function can use the `params` returned from the parent `generateStaticParams` function to dynamically generate its own segments.

```tsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.tsx" switcher
// Generate segments for [product] using the `params` passed from
// the parent segment's `generateStaticParams` function
export async function generateStaticParams({
  params: { category },
}: {
  params: { category: string }
}) {
  const products = await fetch(
    `https://.../products?category=${category}`
  ).then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    product: product.id,
  }))
}

export default function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ category: string; product: string }>
}) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.js" switcher
// Generate segments for [product] using the `params` passed from
// the parent segment's `generateStaticParams` function
export async function generateStaticParams({ params: { category } }) {
  const products = await fetch(
    `https://.../products?category=${category}`
  ).then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    product: product.id,
  }))
}

export default function Page({ params }) {
  // ...
}
```

Notice that the params argument can be accessed synchronously and includes only parent segment params.

For type completion, you can make use of the TypeScript `Awaited` helper in combination with either [`Page Props helper`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#page-props-helper) or [`Layout Props helper`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#layout-props-helper):

```ts filename="app/products/[category]/[product]/page.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams({
  params: { category },
}: {
  params: Awaited<LayoutProps<'/products/[category]'>['params']>
}) {
  const products = await fetch(
    `https://.../products?category=${category}`
  ).then((res) => res.json())

  return products.map((product) => ({
    product: product.id,
  }))
}
```

> **Good to know**: `fetch` requests are automatically [memoized](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#request-memoization) for the same data across all `generate`-prefixed functions, Layouts, Pages, and Server Components. React [`cache` can be used](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#react-cache-function) if `fetch` is unavailable.

## Version History

| Version   | Changes                            |
| --------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `v13.0.0` | `generateStaticParams` introduced. |

---

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-viewport.md

# generateViewport
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can customize the initial viewport of the page with the static `viewport` object or the dynamic `generateViewport` function.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `viewport` object and `generateViewport` function exports are **only supported in Server Components**.
> * You cannot export both the `viewport` object and `generateViewport` function from the same route segment.
> * If you're coming from migrating `metadata` exports, you can use [metadata-to-viewport-export codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#metadata-to-viewport-export) to update your changes.

## The `viewport` object

To define the viewport options, export a `viewport` object from a `layout.jsx` or `page.jsx` file.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}

export default function Page() {}
```

```jsx filename="layout.jsx | page.jsx" switcher
export const viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}

export default function Page() {}
```

## `generateViewport` function

`generateViewport` should return a [`Viewport` object](#viewport-fields) containing one or more viewport fields.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
export function generateViewport({ params }) {
  return {
    themeColor: '...',
  }
}
```

In TypeScript, the `params` argument can be typed via [`PageProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#page-props-helper) or [`LayoutProps<'/route'>`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#layout-props-helper) depending on where `generateViewport` is defined.

```jsx filename="layout.js | page.js" switcher
export function generateViewport({ params }) {
  return {
    themeColor: '...',
  }
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If the viewport doesn't depend on runtime information, it should be defined using the static [`viewport` object](#the-viewport-object) rather than `generateViewport`.

## Viewport Fields

### `themeColor`

Learn more about [`theme-color`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta/name/theme-color).

**Simple theme color**

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}
```

```jsx filename="layout.jsx | page.jsx" switcher
export const viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="theme-color" content="black" />
```

**With media attribute**

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  themeColor: [
    { media: '(prefers-color-scheme: light)', color: 'cyan' },
    { media: '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)', color: 'black' },
  ],
}
```

```jsx filename="layout.jsx | page.jsx" switcher
export const viewport = {
  themeColor: [
    { media: '(prefers-color-scheme: light)', color: 'cyan' },
    { media: '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)', color: 'black' },
  ],
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" content="cyan" />
<meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" content="black" />
```

### `width`, `initialScale`, `maximumScale` and `userScalable`

> **Good to know**: The `viewport` meta tag is automatically set, and manual configuration is usually unnecessary as the default is sufficient. However, the information is provided for completeness.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  width: 'device-width',
  initialScale: 1,
  maximumScale: 1,
  userScalable: false,
  // Also supported but less commonly used
  // interactiveWidget: 'resizes-visual',
}
```

```jsx filename="layout.jsx | page.jsx" switcher
export const viewport = {
  width: 'device-width',
  initialScale: 1,
  maximumScale: 1,
  userScalable: false,
  // Also supported but less commonly used
  // interactiveWidget: 'resizes-visual',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta
  name="viewport"
  content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no"
/>
```

### `colorScheme`

Learn more about [`color-scheme`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta/name#:~:text=color%2Dscheme%3A%20specifies,of%20the%20following%3A).

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  colorScheme: 'dark',
}
```

```jsx filename="layout.jsx | page.jsx" switcher
export const viewport = {
  colorScheme: 'dark',
}
```

```html filename="<head> output" hideLineNumbers
<meta name="color-scheme" content="dark" />
```

## Types

You can add type safety to your viewport object by using the `Viewport` type. If you are using the [built-in TypeScript plugin](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md) in your IDE, you do not need to manually add the type, but you can still explicitly add it if you want.

### `viewport` object

```tsx
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export const viewport: Viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}
```

### `generateViewport` function

#### Regular function

```tsx
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

export function generateViewport(): Viewport {
  return {
    themeColor: 'black',
  }
}
```

#### With segment props

```tsx
import type { Viewport } from 'next'

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}

export function generateViewport({ params, searchParams }: Props): Viewport {
  return {
    themeColor: 'black',
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }: Props) {}
```

#### JavaScript Projects

For JavaScript projects, you can use JSDoc to add type safety.

```js
/** @type {import("next").Viewport} */
export const viewport = {
  themeColor: 'black',
}
```

# generateBuildId
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js generates an ID during `next build` to identify which version of your application is being served. The same build should be used and boot up multiple containers.

If you are rebuilding for each stage of your environment, you will need to generate a consistent build ID to use between containers. Use the `generateBuildId` command in `next.config.js`:

```jsx filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  generateBuildId: async () => {
    // This could be anything, using the latest git hash
    return process.env.GIT_HASH
  },
}
```

# generateEtags
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js will generate [etags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag) for every page by default. You may want to disable etag generation for HTML pages depending on your cache strategy.

Open `next.config.js` and disable the `generateEtags` option:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  generateEtags: false,
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-initial-props.md

# getInitialProps


> **Good to know**: `getInitialProps` is a legacy API. We recommend using [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) or [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md) instead.

`getInitialProps` is an `async` function that can be added to the default exported React component for the page. It will run on both the server-side and again on the client-side during page transitions. The result of the function will be forwarded to the React component as `props`.

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
import { NextPageContext } from 'next'

Page.getInitialProps = async (ctx: NextPageContext) => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const json = await res.json()
  return { stars: json.stargazers_count }
}

export default function Page({ stars }: { stars: number }) {
  return stars
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
Page.getInitialProps = async (ctx) => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const json = await res.json()
  return { stars: json.stargazers_count }
}

export default function Page({ stars }) {
  return stars
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Data returned from `getInitialProps` is serialized when server rendering. Ensure the returned object from `getInitialProps` is a plain `Object`, and not using `Date`, `Map` or `Set`.
> * For the initial page load, `getInitialProps` will run on the server only. `getInitialProps` will then also run on the client when navigating to a different route with the [`next/link`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md) component or by using [`next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md).
> * If `getInitialProps` is used in a custom `_app.js`, and the page being navigated to is using `getServerSideProps`, then `getInitialProps` will **only** run on the server.

## Context Object

`getInitialProps` receives a single argument called `context`, which is an object with the following properties:

| Name       | Description                                                                                           |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pathname` | Current route, the path of the page in `/pages`                                                       |
| `query`    | Query string of the URL, parsed as an object                                                          |
| `asPath`   | `String` of the actual path (including the query) shown in the browser                                |
| `req`      | [HTTP request object](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_incomingmessage) (server only) |
| `res`      | [HTTP response object](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse) (server only) |
| `err`      | Error object if any error is encountered during the rendering                                         |

## Caveats

* `getInitialProps` can only be used in `pages/` top level files, and not in nested components. To have nested data fetching at the component level, consider exploring the [App Router](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md).
* Regardless of whether your route is static or dynamic, any data returned from `getInitialProps` as `props` will be able to be examined on the client-side in the initial HTML. This is to allow the page to be [hydrated](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hydrate) correctly. Make sure that you don't pass any sensitive information that shouldn't be available on the client in `props`.

# getServerSideProps


`getServerSideProps` is a Next.js function that can be used to fetch data and render the contents of a page at request time.

## Example

You can use `getServerSideProps` by exporting it from a Page Component. The example below shows how you can fetch data from a 3rd party API in `getServerSideProps`, and pass the data to the page as props:

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
import type { InferGetServerSidePropsType, GetServerSideProps } from 'next'

type Repo = {
  name: string
  stargazers_count: number
}

export const getServerSideProps = (async () => {
  // Fetch data from external API
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo: Repo = await res.json()
  // Pass data to the page via props
  return { props: { repo } }
}) satisfies GetServerSideProps<{ repo: Repo }>

export default function Page({
  repo,
}: InferGetServerSidePropsType<typeof getServerSideProps>) {
  return (
    <main>
      <p>{repo.stargazers_count}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
export async function getServerSideProps() {
  // Fetch data from external API
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo = await res.json()
  // Pass data to the page via props
  return { props: { repo } }
}

export default function Page({ repo }) {
  return (
    <main>
      <p>{repo.stargazers_count}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

## When should I use `getServerSideProps`?

You should use `getServerSideProps` if you need to render a page that relies on personalized user data, or information that can only be known at request time. For example, `authorization` headers or a geolocation.

If you do not need to fetch the data at request time, or would prefer to cache the data and pre-rendered HTML, we recommend using [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md).

## Behavior

* `getServerSideProps` runs on the server.
* `getServerSideProps` can only be exported from a **page**.
* `getServerSideProps` returns JSON.
* When a user visits a page, `getServerSideProps` will be used to fetch data at request time, and the data is used to render the initial HTML of the page.
* `props` passed to the page component can be viewed on the client as part of the initial HTML. This is to allow the page to be [hydrated](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hydrate) correctly. Make sure that you don't pass any sensitive information that shouldn't be available on the client in `props`.
* When a user visits the page through [`next/link`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md) or [`next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md), Next.js sends an API request to the server, which runs `getServerSideProps`.
* You do not have to call a Next.js [API Route](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md) to fetch data when using `getServerSideProps` since the function runs on the server. Instead, you can call a CMS, database, or other third-party APIs directly from inside `getServerSideProps`.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * See [`getServerSideProps` API reference](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-server-side-props.md) for parameters and props that can be used with `getServerSideProps`.
> * You can use the [next-code-elimination tool](https://next-code-elimination.vercel.app/) to verify what Next.js eliminates from the client-side bundle.

## Error Handling

If an error is thrown inside `getServerSideProps`, it will show the `pages/500.js` file. Check out the documentation for [500 page](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-error.md#500-page) to learn more on how to create it. During development, this file will not be used and the development error overlay will be shown instead.

## Edge Cases

### Caching with Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

You can use caching headers (`Cache-Control`) inside `getServerSideProps` to cache dynamic responses. For example, using [`stale-while-revalidate`](https://web.dev/stale-while-revalidate/).

```jsx
// This value is considered fresh for ten seconds (s-maxage=10).
// If a request is repeated within the next 10 seconds, the previously
// cached value will still be fresh. If the request is repeated before 59 seconds,
// the cached value will be stale but still render (stale-while-revalidate=59).
//
// In the background, a revalidation request will be made to populate the cache
// with a fresh value. If you refresh the page, you will see the new value.
export async function getServerSideProps({ req, res }) {
  res.setHeader(
    'Cache-Control',
    'public, s-maxage=10, stale-while-revalidate=59'
  )

  return {
    props: {},
  }
}
```

However, before reaching for `cache-control`, we recommend seeing if [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) with [ISR](/docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md) is a better fit for your use case.

# getStaticPaths


If a page has [Dynamic Routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md) and uses `getStaticProps`, it needs to define a list of paths to be statically generated.

When you export a function called `getStaticPaths` (Static Site Generation) from a page that uses dynamic routes, Next.js will statically pre-render all the paths specified by `getStaticPaths`.

```tsx filename="pages/repo/[name].tsx" switcher
import type {
  InferGetStaticPropsType,
  GetStaticProps,
  GetStaticPaths,
} from 'next'

type Repo = {
  name: string
  stargazers_count: number
}

export const getStaticPaths = (async () => {
  return {
    paths: [
      {
        params: {
          name: 'next.js',
        },
      }, // See the "paths" section below
    ],
    fallback: true, // false or "blocking"
  }
}) satisfies GetStaticPaths

export const getStaticProps = (async (context) => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo = await res.json()
  return { props: { repo } }
}) satisfies GetStaticProps<{
  repo: Repo
}>

export default function Page({
  repo,
}: InferGetStaticPropsType<typeof getStaticProps>) {
  return repo.stargazers_count
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/repo/[name].js" switcher
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  return {
    paths: [
      {
        params: {
          name: 'next.js',
        },
      }, // See the "paths" section below
    ],
    fallback: true, // false or "blocking"
  }
}

export async function getStaticProps() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo = await res.json()
  return { props: { repo } }
}

export default function Page({ repo }) {
  return repo.stargazers_count
}
```

The [`getStaticPaths` API reference](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md) covers all parameters and props that can be used with `getStaticPaths`.

## When should I use getStaticPaths?

You should use `getStaticPaths` if you’re statically pre-rendering pages that use dynamic routes and:

* The data comes from a headless CMS
* The data comes from a database
* The data comes from the filesystem
* The data can be publicly cached (not user-specific)
* The page must be pre-rendered (for SEO) and be very fast — `getStaticProps` generates `HTML` and `JSON` files, both of which can be cached by a CDN for performance

## When does getStaticPaths run

`getStaticPaths` will only run during build in production, it will not be called during runtime. You can validate code written inside `getStaticPaths` is removed from the client-side bundle [with this tool](https://next-code-elimination.vercel.app/).

### How does getStaticProps run with regards to getStaticPaths

* `getStaticProps` runs during `next build` for any `paths` returned during build
* `getStaticProps` runs in the background when using `fallback: true`
* `getStaticProps` is called before initial render when using `fallback: blocking`

## Where can I use getStaticPaths

* `getStaticPaths` **must** be used with `getStaticProps`
* You **cannot** use `getStaticPaths` with [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md)
* You can export `getStaticPaths` from a [Dynamic Route](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md) that also uses `getStaticProps`
* You **cannot** export `getStaticPaths` from non-page file (e.g. your `components` folder)
* You must export `getStaticPaths` as a standalone function, and not a property of the page component

## Runs on every request in development

In development (`next dev`), `getStaticPaths` will be called on every request.

## Generating paths on-demand

`getStaticPaths` allows you to control which pages are generated during the build instead of on-demand with [`fallback`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md#fallback-blocking). Generating more pages during a build will cause slower builds.

You can defer generating all pages on-demand by returning an empty array for `paths`. This can be especially helpful when deploying your Next.js application to multiple environments. For example, you can have faster builds by generating all pages on-demand for previews (but not production builds). This is helpful for sites with hundreds/thousands of static pages.

```jsx filename="pages/posts/[id].js"
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  // When this is true (in preview environments) don't
  // prerender any static pages
  // (faster builds, but slower initial page load)
  if (process.env.SKIP_BUILD_STATIC_GENERATION) {
    return {
      paths: [],
      fallback: 'blocking',
    }
  }

  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts')
  const posts = await res.json()

  // Get the paths we want to prerender based on posts
  // In production environments, prerender all pages
  // (slower builds, but faster initial page load)
  const paths = posts.map((post) => ({
    params: { id: post.id },
  }))

  // { fallback: false } means other routes should 404
  return { paths, fallback: false }
}
```

# getStaticProps


If you export a function called `getStaticProps` (Static Site Generation) from a page, Next.js will pre-render this page at build time using the props returned by `getStaticProps`.

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
import type { InferGetStaticPropsType, GetStaticProps } from 'next'

type Repo = {
  name: string
  stargazers_count: number
}

export const getStaticProps = (async (context) => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo = await res.json()
  return { props: { repo } }
}) satisfies GetStaticProps<{
  repo: Repo
}>

export default function Page({
  repo,
}: InferGetStaticPropsType<typeof getStaticProps>) {
  return repo.stargazers_count
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
export async function getStaticProps() {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js')
  const repo = await res.json()
  return { props: { repo } }
}

export default function Page({ repo }) {
  return repo.stargazers_count
}
```

> Note that irrespective of rendering type, any `props` will be passed to the page component and can be viewed on the client-side in the initial HTML. This is to allow the page to be [hydrated](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hydrate) correctly. Make sure that you don't pass any sensitive information that shouldn't be available on the client in `props`.

The [`getStaticProps` API reference](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-props.md) covers all parameters and props that can be used with `getStaticProps`.

## When should I use getStaticProps?

You should use `getStaticProps` if:

* The data required to render the page is available at build time ahead of a user’s request
* The data comes from a headless CMS
* The page must be pre-rendered (for SEO) and be very fast — `getStaticProps` generates `HTML` and `JSON` files, both of which can be cached by a CDN for performance
* The data can be publicly cached (not user-specific). This condition can be bypassed in certain specific situation by using a Proxy to rewrite the path.

## When does getStaticProps run

`getStaticProps` always runs on the server and never on the client. You can validate code written inside `getStaticProps` is removed from the client-side bundle [with this tool](https://next-code-elimination.vercel.app/).

* `getStaticProps` always runs during `next build`
* `getStaticProps` runs in the background when using [`fallback: true`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md#fallback-true)
* `getStaticProps` is called before initial render when using [`fallback: blocking`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md#fallback-blocking)
* `getStaticProps` runs in the background when using `revalidate`
* `getStaticProps` runs on-demand in the background when using [`revalidate()`](/docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md#on-demand-revalidation-with-revalidatepath)

When combined with [Incremental Static Regeneration](/docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md), `getStaticProps` will run in the background while the stale page is being revalidated, and the fresh page served to the browser.

`getStaticProps` does not have access to the incoming request (such as query parameters or HTTP headers) as it generates static HTML. If you need access to the request for your page, consider using [Proxy](/docs/pages/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) in addition to `getStaticProps`.

## Using getStaticProps to fetch data from a CMS

The following example shows how you can fetch a list of blog posts from a CMS.

```tsx filename="pages/blog.tsx" switcher
// posts will be populated at build time by getStaticProps()
export default function Blog({ posts }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}

// This function gets called at build time on server-side.
// It won't be called on client-side, so you can even do
// direct database queries.
export async function getStaticProps() {
  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts.
  // You can use any data fetching library
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts')
  const posts = await res.json()

  // By returning { props: { posts } }, the Blog component
  // will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
  return {
    props: {
      posts,
    },
  }
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/blog.js" switcher
// posts will be populated at build time by getStaticProps()
export default function Blog({ posts }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}

// This function gets called at build time on server-side.
// It won't be called on client-side, so you can even do
// direct database queries.
export async function getStaticProps() {
  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts.
  // You can use any data fetching library
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts')
  const posts = await res.json()

  // By returning { props: { posts } }, the Blog component
  // will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
  return {
    props: {
      posts,
    },
  }
}
```

The [`getStaticProps` API reference](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-props.md) covers all parameters and props that can be used with `getStaticProps`.

## Write server-side code directly

As `getStaticProps` runs only on the server-side, it will never run on the client-side. It won’t even be included in the JS bundle for the browser, so you can write direct database queries without them being sent to browsers.

This means that instead of fetching an **API route** from `getStaticProps` (that itself fetches data from an external source), you can write the server-side code directly in `getStaticProps`.

Take the following example. An API route is used to fetch some data from a CMS. That API route is then called directly from `getStaticProps`. This produces an additional call, reducing performance. Instead, the logic for fetching the data from the CMS can be shared by using a `lib/` directory. Then it can be shared with `getStaticProps`.

```js filename="lib/load-posts.js"
// The following function is shared
// with getStaticProps and API routes
// from a `lib/` directory
export async function loadPosts() {
  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts/')
  const data = await res.json()

  return data
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/blog.js"
// pages/blog.js
import { loadPosts } from '../lib/load-posts'

// This function runs only on the server side
export async function getStaticProps() {
  // Instead of fetching your `/api` route you can call the same
  // function directly in `getStaticProps`
  const posts = await loadPosts()

  // Props returned will be passed to the page component
  return { props: { posts } }
}
```

Alternatively, if you are **not** using API routes to fetch data, then the [`fetch()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) API *can* be used directly in `getStaticProps` to fetch data.

To verify what Next.js eliminates from the client-side bundle, you can use the [next-code-elimination tool](https://next-code-elimination.vercel.app/).

## Statically generates both HTML and JSON

When a page with `getStaticProps` is pre-rendered at build time, in addition to the page HTML file, Next.js generates a JSON file holding the result of running `getStaticProps`.

This JSON file will be used in client-side routing through [`next/link`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md) or [`next/router`](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md). When you navigate to a page that’s pre-rendered using `getStaticProps`, Next.js fetches this JSON file (pre-computed at build time) and uses it as the props for the page component. This means that client-side page transitions will **not** call `getStaticProps` as only the exported JSON is used.

When using Incremental Static Generation, `getStaticProps` will be executed in the background to generate the JSON needed for client-side navigation. You may see this in the form of multiple requests being made for the same page, however, this is intended and has no impact on end-user performance.

## Where can I use getStaticProps

`getStaticProps` can only be exported from a **page**. You **cannot** export it from non-page files, `_app`, `_document`, or `_error`.

One of the reasons for this restriction is that React needs to have all the required data before the page is rendered.

Also, you must use export `getStaticProps` as a standalone function — it will **not** work if you add `getStaticProps` as a property of the page component.

> **Good to know**: if you have created a [custom app](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md), ensure you are passing the `pageProps` to the page component as shown in the linked document, otherwise the props will be empty.

## Runs on every request in development

In development (`next dev`), `getStaticProps` will be called on every request.

## Preview Mode

You can temporarily bypass static generation and render the page at **request time** instead of build time using [**Preview Mode**](/docs/pages/guides/preview-mode.md). For example, you might be using a headless CMS and want to preview drafts before they're published.

# headers
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`headers` is an **async** function that allows you to **read** the HTTP incoming request headers from a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md).

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const userAgent = headersList.get('user-agent')
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const userAgent = headersList.get('user-agent')
}
```

## Reference

### Parameters

`headers` does not take any parameters.

### Returns

`headers` returns a **read-only** [Web Headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers) object.

* [`Headers.entries()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/entries): Returns an [`iterator`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols) allowing to go through all key/value pairs contained in this object.
* [`Headers.forEach()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/forEach): Executes a provided function once for each key/value pair in this `Headers` object.
* [`Headers.get()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/get): Returns a [`String`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) sequence of all the values of a header within a `Headers` object with a given name.
* [`Headers.has()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/has): Returns a boolean stating whether a `Headers` object contains a certain header.
* [`Headers.keys()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/keys): Returns an [`iterator`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols) allowing you to go through all keys of the key/value pairs contained in this object.
* [`Headers.values()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Headers/values): Returns an [`iterator`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols) allowing you to go through all values of the key/value pairs contained in this object.

## Good to know

* `headers` is an **asynchronous** function that returns a promise. You must use `async/await` or React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `headers` was a synchronous function. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.
* Since `headers` is read-only, you cannot `set` or `delete` the outgoing request headers.
* `headers` is a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) whose returned values cannot be known ahead of time. Using it in will opt a route into **[dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering)**.

## Examples

### Using the Authorization header

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function Page() {
  const authorization = (await headers()).get('authorization')
  const res = await fetch('...', {
    headers: { authorization }, // Forward the authorization header
  })
  const user = await res.json()

  return <h1>{user.name}</h1>
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/htmlLimitedBots.md

# htmlLimitedBots
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `htmlLimitedBots` config allows you to specify a list of user agents that should receive blocking metadata instead of [streaming metadata](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#streaming-metadata).

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const config: NextConfig = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /MySpecialBot|MyAnotherSpecialBot|SimpleCrawler/,
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /MySpecialBot|MyAnotherSpecialBot|SimpleCrawler/,
}
```

## Default list

Next.js includes a default list of HTML limited bots, including:

* Google crawlers (e.g. Mediapartners-Google, AdsBot-Google, Google-PageRenderer)
* Bingbot
* Twitterbot
* Slackbot

See the full list [here](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/shared/lib/router/utils/html-bots.ts).

Specifying a `htmlLimitedBots` config will override the Next.js' default list. However, this is advanced behavior, and the default should be sufficient for most cases.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
const config: NextConfig = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /MySpecialBot|MyAnotherSpecialBot|SimpleCrawler/,
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /MySpecialBot|MyAnotherSpecialBot|SimpleCrawler/,
}
```

## Disabling

To fully disable streaming metadata:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const config: NextConfig = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /.*/,
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  htmlLimitedBots: /.*/,
}
```

## Version History

| Version | Changes                              |
| ------- | ------------------------------------ |
| 15.2.0  | `htmlLimitedBots` option introduced. |

# httpAgentOptions
@doc-version: 16.0.4


In Node.js versions prior to 18, Next.js automatically polyfills `fetch()` with [undici](/docs/architecture/supported-browsers.md#polyfills) and enables [HTTP Keep-Alive](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Keep-Alive) by default.

To disable HTTP Keep-Alive for all `fetch()` calls on the server-side, open `next.config.js` and add the `httpAgentOptions` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  httpAgentOptions: {
    keepAlive: false,
  },
}
```

# Image (Legacy)



> This is a legacy API and no longer recommended. It is still supported for backward compatibility.

Starting with Next.js 13, the `next/image` component was rewritten to improve both the performance and developer experience. In order to provide a backwards compatible upgrade solution, the old `next/image` was renamed to `next/legacy/image`.

> **Warning**: `next/legacy/image` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Next.js. Please use [`next/image`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) instead.

## Comparison

Compared to `next/legacy/image`, the new `next/image` component has the following changes:

* Removes `<span>` wrapper around `<img>` in favor of [native computed aspect ratio](https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_img_aspect_ratio_computed_from_attributes)
* Adds support for canonical `style` prop
  * Removes `layout` prop in favor of `style` or `className`
  * Removes `objectFit` prop in favor of `style` or `className`
  * Removes `objectPosition` prop in favor of `style` or `className`
* Removes `IntersectionObserver` implementation in favor of [native lazy loading](https://caniuse.com/loading-lazy-attr)
  * Removes `lazyBoundary` prop since there is no native equivalent
  * Removes `lazyRoot` prop since there is no native equivalent
* Removes `loader` config in favor of [`loader`](#loader) prop
* Changed `alt` prop from optional to required
* Changed `onLoadingComplete` callback to receive reference to `<img>` element

## Required Props

The `<Image />` component requires the following properties.

### src

Must be one of the following:

* A [statically imported](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#src) image file
* A path string. This can be either an absolute external URL, or an internal path depending on the [loader](#loader) prop or [loader configuration](#loader-configuration).

When using the default [loader](#loader), also consider the following for source images:

* When src is an external URL, you must also configure [remotePatterns](#remote-patterns)
* When src is [animated](#animated-images) or not a known format (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF) the image will be served as-is
* When src is SVG format, it will be blocked unless `unoptimized` or `dangerouslyAllowSVG` is enabled

### width

The `width` property can represent either the *rendered* width or *original* width in pixels, depending on the [`layout`](#layout) and [`sizes`](#sizes) properties.

When using `layout="intrinsic"` or `layout="fixed"` the `width` property represents the *rendered* width in pixels, so it will affect how large the image appears.

When using `layout="responsive"`, `layout="fill"`, the `width` property represents the *original* width in pixels, so it will only affect the aspect ratio.

The `width` property is required, except for [statically imported images](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#src), or those with `layout="fill"`.

### height

The `height` property can represent either the *rendered* height or *original* height in pixels, depending on the [`layout`](#layout) and [`sizes`](#sizes) properties.

When using `layout="intrinsic"` or `layout="fixed"` the `height` property represents the *rendered* height in pixels, so it will affect how large the image appears.

When using `layout="responsive"`, `layout="fill"`, the `height` property represents the *original* height in pixels, so it will only affect the aspect ratio.

The `height` property is required, except for [statically imported images](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#src), or those with `layout="fill"`.

## Optional Props

The `<Image />` component accepts a number of additional properties beyond those which are required. This section describes the most commonly-used properties of the Image component. Find details about more rarely-used properties in the [Advanced Props](#advanced-props) section.

### layout

The layout behavior of the image as the viewport changes size.

| `layout`              | Behavior                                                 | `srcSet`                                                                                                    | `sizes` | Has wrapper and sizer |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------- |
| `intrinsic` (default) | Scale *down* to fit width of container, up to image size | `1x`, `2x` (based on [imageSizes](#image-sizes))                                                            | N/A     | yes                   |
| `fixed`               | Sized to `width` and `height` exactly                    | `1x`, `2x` (based on [imageSizes](#image-sizes))                                                            | N/A     | yes                   |
| `responsive`          | Scale to fit width of container                          | `640w`, `750w`, ... `2048w`, `3840w` (based on [imageSizes](#image-sizes) and [deviceSizes](#device-sizes)) | `100vw` | yes                   |
| `fill`                | Grow in both X and Y axes to fill container              | `640w`, `750w`, ... `2048w`, `3840w` (based on [imageSizes](#image-sizes) and [deviceSizes](#device-sizes)) | `100vw` | yes                   |

* [Demo the `intrinsic` layout (default)](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/layout-intrinsic)
  * When `intrinsic`, the image will scale the dimensions down for smaller viewports, but maintain the original dimensions for larger viewports.
* [Demo the `fixed` layout](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/layout-fixed)
  * When `fixed`, the image dimensions will not change as the viewport changes (no responsiveness) similar to the native `img` element.
* [Demo the `responsive` layout](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/layout-responsive)
  * When `responsive`, the image will scale the dimensions down for smaller viewports and scale up for larger viewports.
  * Ensure the parent element uses `display: block` in their stylesheet.
* [Demo the `fill` layout](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/layout-fill)
  * When `fill`, the image will stretch both width and height to the dimensions of the parent element, provided the parent element is relative.
  * This is usually paired with the [`objectFit`](#objectfit) property.
  * Ensure the parent element has `position: relative` in their stylesheet.
* [Demo background image](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/background)

### loader

A custom function used to resolve URLs. Setting the loader as a prop on the Image component overrides the default loader defined in the [`images` section of `next.config.js`](#loader-configuration).

A `loader` is a function returning a URL string for the image, given the following parameters:

* [`src`](#src)
* [`width`](#width)
* [`quality`](#quality)

Here is an example of using a custom loader:

```js
import Image from 'next/legacy/image'

const myLoader = ({ src, width, quality }) => {
  return `https://example.com/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`
}

const MyImage = (props) => {
  return (
    <Image
      loader={myLoader}
      src="me.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

### sizes

A string that provides information about how wide the image will be at different breakpoints. The value of `sizes` will greatly affect performance for images using `layout="responsive"` or `layout="fill"`. It will be ignored for images using `layout="intrinsic"` or `layout="fixed"`.

The `sizes` property serves two important purposes related to image performance:

First, the value of `sizes` is used by the browser to determine which size of the image to download, from `next/legacy/image`'s automatically-generated source set. When the browser chooses, it does not yet know the size of the image on the page, so it selects an image that is the same size or larger than the viewport. The `sizes` property allows you to tell the browser that the image will actually be smaller than full screen. If you don't specify a `sizes` value, a default value of `100vw` (full screen width) is used.

Second, the `sizes` value is parsed and used to trim the values in the automatically-created source set. If the `sizes` property includes sizes such as `50vw`, which represent a percentage of the viewport width, then the source set is trimmed to not include any values which are too small to ever be necessary.

For example, if you know your styling will cause an image to be full-width on mobile devices, in a 2-column layout on tablets, and a 3-column layout on desktop displays, you should include a sizes property such as the following:

```js
import Image from 'next/legacy/image'
const Example = () => (
  <div className="grid-element">
    <Image
      src="/example.png"
      layout="fill"
      sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw,
              (max-width: 1200px) 50vw,
              33vw"
    />
  </div>
)
```

This example `sizes` could have a dramatic effect on performance metrics. Without the `33vw` sizes, the image selected from the server would be 3 times as wide as it needs to be. Because file size is proportional to the square of the width, without `sizes` the user would download an image that's 9 times larger than necessary.

Learn more about `srcset` and `sizes`:

* [web.dev](https://web.dev/learn/design/responsive-images/#sizes)
* [mdn](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#attr-sizes)

### quality

The quality of the optimized image, an integer between `1` and `100` where `100` is the best quality. Defaults to `75`.

### priority

When true, the image will be considered high priority and
[preload](https://web.dev/preload-responsive-images/). Lazy loading is automatically disabled for images using `priority`.

You should use the `priority` property on any image detected as the [Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)](https://nextjs.org/learn/seo/web-performance/lcp) element. It may be appropriate to have multiple priority images, as different images may be the LCP element for different viewport sizes.

Should only be used when the image is visible above the fold. Defaults to `false`.

### placeholder

A placeholder to use while the image is loading. Possible values are `blur` or `empty`. Defaults to `empty`.

When `blur`, the [`blurDataURL`](#blurdataurl) property will be used as the placeholder. If `src` is an object from a [static import](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#src) and the imported image is `.jpg`, `.png`, `.webp`, or `.avif`, then `blurDataURL` will be automatically populated.

For dynamic images, you must provide the [`blurDataURL`](#blurdataurl) property. Solutions such as [Plaiceholder](https://github.com/joe-bell/plaiceholder) can help with `base64` generation.

When `empty`, there will be no placeholder while the image is loading, only empty space.

Try it out:

* [Demo the `blur` placeholder](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/placeholder)
* [Demo the shimmer effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/shimmer)
* [Demo the color effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/color)

## Advanced Props

In some cases, you may need more advanced usage. The `<Image />` component optionally accepts the following advanced properties.

### style

Allows [passing CSS styles](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/style) to the underlying image element.

Note that all `layout` modes apply their own styles to the image element, and these automatic styles take precedence over the `style` prop.

Also keep in mind that the required `width` and `height` props can interact with your styling. If you use styling to modify an image's `width`, you must set the `height="auto"` style as well, or your image will be distorted.

### objectFit

Defines how the image will fit into its parent container when using `layout="fill"`.

This value is passed to the [object-fit CSS property](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit) for the `src` image.

### objectPosition

Defines how the image is positioned within its parent element when using `layout="fill"`.

This value is passed to the [object-position CSS property](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/object-position) applied to the image.

### onLoadingComplete

A callback function that is invoked once the image is completely loaded and the [placeholder](#placeholder) has been removed.

The `onLoadingComplete` function accepts one parameter, an object with the following properties:

* [`naturalWidth`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/naturalWidth)
* [`naturalHeight`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/naturalHeight)

### loading

The loading behavior of the image. Defaults to `lazy`.

When `lazy`, defer loading the image until it reaches a calculated distance from
the viewport.

When `eager`, load the image immediately.

[Learn more](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#attr-loading)

### blurDataURL

A [Data URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs) to
be used as a placeholder image before the `src` image successfully loads. Only takes effect when combined
with [`placeholder="blur"`](#placeholder).

Must be a base64-encoded image. It will be enlarged and blurred, so a very small image (10px or
less) is recommended. Including larger images as placeholders may harm your application performance.

Try it out:

* [Demo the default `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/placeholder)
* [Demo the shimmer effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/shimmer)
* [Demo the color effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-legacy-component.nextjs.gallery/color)

You can also [generate a solid color Data URL](https://png-pixel.com) to match the image.

### lazyBoundary

A string (with similar syntax to the margin property) that acts as the bounding box used to detect the intersection of the viewport with the image and trigger lazy [loading](#loading). Defaults to `"200px"`.

If the image is nested in a scrollable parent element other than the root document, you will also need to assign the [lazyRoot](#lazyroot) prop.

[Learn more](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver/rootMargin)

### lazyRoot

A React [Ref](https://react.dev/learn/referencing-values-with-refs) pointing to the scrollable parent element. Defaults to `null` (the document viewport).

The Ref must point to a DOM element or a React component that [forwards the Ref](https://react.dev/reference/react/forwardRef) to the underlying DOM element.

**Example pointing to a DOM element**

```jsx
import Image from 'next/legacy/image'
import React from 'react'

const Example = () => {
  const lazyRoot = React.useRef(null)

  return (
    <div ref={lazyRoot} style={{ overflowX: 'scroll', width: '500px' }}>
      <Image lazyRoot={lazyRoot} src="/one.jpg" width="500" height="500" />
      <Image lazyRoot={lazyRoot} src="/two.jpg" width="500" height="500" />
    </div>
  )
}
```

**Example pointing to a React component**

```jsx
import Image from 'next/legacy/image'
import React from 'react'

const Container = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
  return (
    <div ref={ref} style={{ overflowX: 'scroll', width: '500px' }}>
      {props.children}
    </div>
  )
})

const Example = () => {
  const lazyRoot = React.useRef(null)

  return (
    <Container ref={lazyRoot}>
      <Image lazyRoot={lazyRoot} src="/one.jpg" width="500" height="500" />
      <Image lazyRoot={lazyRoot} src="/two.jpg" width="500" height="500" />
    </Container>
  )
}
```

[Learn more](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver/root)

### unoptimized

When true, the source image will be served as-is from the `src` instead of changing quality, size, or format. Defaults to `false`.

This is useful for images that do not benefit from optimization such as small images (less than 1KB), vector images (SVG), or animated images (GIF).

```js
import Image from 'next/image'

const UnoptimizedImage = (props) => {
  return <Image {...props} unoptimized />
}
```

Since Next.js 12.3.0, this prop can be assigned to all images by updating `next.config.js` with the following configuration:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    unoptimized: true,
  },
}
```

## Other Props

Other properties on the `<Image />` component will be passed to the underlying
`img` element with the exception of the following:

* `srcSet`. Use
  [Device Sizes](#device-sizes)
  instead.
* `ref`. Use [`onLoadingComplete`](#onloadingcomplete) instead.
* `decoding`. It is always `"async"`.

## Configuration Options

### Remote Patterns

To protect your application from malicious users, configuration is required in order to use external images. This ensures that only external images from your account can be served from the Next.js Image Optimization API. These external images can be configured with the `remotePatterns` property in your `next.config.js` file, as shown below:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'example.com',
        port: '',
        pathname: '/account123/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/legacy/image` must start with `https://example.com/account123/` and must not have a query string. Any other protocol, hostname, port, or unmatched path will respond with 400 Bad Request.

Below is an example of the `remotePatterns` property in the `next.config.js` file using a wildcard pattern in the `hostname`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: '**.example.com',
        port: '',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/legacy/image` must start with `https://img1.example.com` or `https://me.avatar.example.com` or any number of subdomains. It cannot have a port or query string. Any other protocol or unmatched hostname will respond with 400 Bad Request.

Wildcard patterns can be used for both `pathname` and `hostname` and have the following syntax:

* `*` match a single path segment or subdomain
* `**` match any number of path segments at the end or subdomains at the beginning

The `**` syntax does not work in the middle of the pattern.

> **Good to know**: When omitting `protocol`, `port`, `pathname`, or `search` then the wildcard `**` is implied. This is not recommended because it may allow malicious actors to optimize urls you did not intend.

Below is an example of the `remotePatterns` property in the `next.config.js` file using `search`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'assets.example.com',
        search: '?v=1727111025337',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/legacy/image` must start with `https://assets.example.com` and must have the exact query string `?v=1727111025337`. Any other protocol or query string will respond with 400 Bad Request.

### Domains

> **Warning**: Deprecated since Next.js 14 in favor of strict [`remotePatterns`](#remote-patterns) in order to protect your application from malicious users. Only use `domains` if you own all the content served from the domain.

Similar to [`remotePatterns`](#remote-patterns), the `domains` configuration can be used to provide a list of allowed hostnames for external images.

However, the `domains` configuration does not support wildcard pattern matching and it cannot restrict protocol, port, or pathname.

Below is an example of the `domains` property in the `next.config.js` file:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    domains: ['assets.acme.com'],
  },
}
```

### Loader Configuration

If you want to use a cloud provider to optimize images instead of using the Next.js built-in Image Optimization API, you can configure the `loader` and `path` prefix in your `next.config.js` file. This allows you to use relative URLs for the Image [`src`](#src) and automatically generate the correct absolute URL for your provider.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    loader: 'imgix',
    path: 'https://example.com/myaccount/',
  },
}
```

#### Customizing the Built-in Image Path

If you want to change or prefix the default path for the built-in Next.js image optimization, you can do so with the `path` property. The default value for `path` is `/_next/image`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    path: '/my-prefix/_next/image',
  },
}
```

### Built-in Loaders

The following Image Optimization cloud providers are included:

* Default: Works automatically with `next dev`, `next start`, or a custom server
* [Vercel](https://vercel.com): Works automatically when you deploy on Vercel, no configuration necessary. [Learn more](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/image-optimization?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website)
* [Imgix](https://www.imgix.com): `loader: 'imgix'`
* [Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com): `loader: 'cloudinary'`
* [Akamai](https://www.akamai.com): `loader: 'akamai'`
* Custom: `loader: 'custom'` use a custom cloud provider by implementing the [`loader`](#loader) prop on the `next/legacy/image` component

If you need a different provider, you can use the [`loader`](#loader) prop with `next/legacy/image`.

> Images can not be optimized at build time using [`output: 'export'`](/docs/pages/guides/static-exports.md), only on-demand. To use `next/legacy/image` with `output: 'export'`, you will need to use a different loader than the default. [Read more in the discussion.](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/19065)

## Advanced

The following configuration is for advanced use cases and is usually not necessary. If you choose to configure the properties below, you will override any changes to the Next.js defaults in future updates.

### Device Sizes

If you know the expected device widths of your users, you can specify a list of device width breakpoints using the `deviceSizes` property in `next.config.js`. These widths are used when the `next/legacy/image` component uses `layout="responsive"` or `layout="fill"` to ensure the correct image is served for user's device.

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200, 1920, 2048, 3840],
  },
}
```

### Image Sizes

You can specify a list of image widths using the `images.imageSizes` property in your `next.config.js` file. These widths are concatenated with the array of [device sizes](#device-sizes) to form the full array of sizes used to generate image [srcset](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/srcset)s.

The reason there are two separate lists is that imageSizes is only used for images which provide a [`sizes`](#sizes) prop, which indicates that the image is less than the full width of the screen. **Therefore, the sizes in imageSizes should all be smaller than the smallest size in deviceSizes.**

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    imageSizes: [32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],
  },
}
```

### Acceptable Formats

The default [Image Optimization API](#loader-configuration) will automatically detect the browser's supported image formats via the request's `Accept` header in order to determine the best output format.

If the `Accept` header matches more than one of the configured formats, the first match in the array is used. Therefore, the array order matters. If there is no match (or the source image is [animated](#animated-images)), the Image Optimization API will fallback to the original image's format.

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/webp'],
  },
}
```

You can enable AVIF support, which will fallback to the original format of the src image if the browser [does not support AVIF](https://caniuse.com/avif):

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/avif'],
  },
}
```

You can also enable both AVIF and WebP formats together. AVIF will be preferred for browsers that support it, with WebP as a fallback:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/avif', 'image/webp'],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * We still recommend using WebP for most use cases.
> * AVIF generally takes 50% longer to encode but it compresses 20% smaller compared to WebP. This means that the first time an image is requested, it will typically be slower and then subsequent requests that are cached will be faster.
> * When using multiple formats, Next.js will cache each format separately. This means increased storage requirements compared to using a single format, as both AVIF and WebP versions of images will be stored for different browser support.
> * If you self-host with a Proxy/CDN in front of Next.js, you must configure the Proxy to forward the `Accept` header.

## Caching Behavior

The following describes the caching algorithm for the default [loader](#loader). For all other loaders, please refer to your cloud provider's documentation.

Images are optimized dynamically upon request and stored in the `<distDir>/cache/images` directory. The optimized image file will be served for subsequent requests until the expiration is reached. When a request is made that matches a cached but expired file, the expired image is served stale immediately. Then the image is optimized again in the background (also called revalidation) and saved to the cache with the new expiration date.

The cache status of an image can be determined by reading the value of the `x-nextjs-cache` (`x-vercel-cache` when deployed on Vercel) response header. The possible values are the following:

* `MISS` - the path is not in the cache (occurs at most once, on the first visit)
* `STALE` - the path is in the cache but exceeded the revalidate time so it will be updated in the background
* `HIT` - the path is in the cache and has not exceeded the revalidate time

The expiration (or rather Max Age) is defined by either the [`minimumCacheTTL`](#minimum-cache-ttl) configuration or the upstream image `Cache-Control` header, whichever is larger. Specifically, the `max-age` value of the `Cache-Control` header is used. If both `s-maxage` and `max-age` are found, then `s-maxage` is preferred. The `max-age` is also passed-through to any downstream clients including CDNs and browsers.

* You can configure [`minimumCacheTTL`](#minimum-cache-ttl) to increase the cache duration when the upstream image does not include `Cache-Control` header or the value is very low.
* You can configure [`deviceSizes`](#device-sizes) and [`imageSizes`](#image-sizes) to reduce the total number of possible generated images.
* You can configure [formats](#acceptable-formats) to disable multiple formats in favor of a single image format.

### Minimum Cache TTL

You can configure the Time to Live (TTL) in seconds for cached optimized images. In many cases, it's better to use a [Static Image Import](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#src) which will automatically hash the file contents and cache the image forever with a `Cache-Control` header of `immutable`.

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 14400, // 4 hours
  },
}
```

You can increase the TTL to reduce the number of revalidations and potentially lower cost:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 2678400, // 31 days
  },
}
```

The expiration (or rather Max Age) of the optimized image is defined by either the `minimumCacheTTL` or the upstream image `Cache-Control` header, whichever is larger.

If you need to change the caching behavior per image, you can configure [`headers`](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md) to set the `Cache-Control` header on the upstream image (e.g. `/some-asset.jpg`, not `/_next/image` itself).

There is no mechanism to invalidate the cache at this time, so its best to keep `minimumCacheTTL` low. Otherwise you may need to manually change the [`src`](#src) prop or delete `<distDir>/cache/images`.

### Disable Static Imports

The default behavior allows you to import static files such as `import icon from './icon.png'` and then pass that to the `src` property.

In some cases, you may wish to disable this feature if it conflicts with other plugins that expect the import to behave differently.

You can disable static image imports inside your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    disableStaticImages: true,
  },
}
```

### Dangerously Allow SVG

The default [loader](#loader) does not optimize SVG images for a few reasons. First, SVG is a vector format meaning it can be resized losslessly. Second, SVG has many of the same features as HTML/CSS, which can lead to vulnerabilities without proper [Content Security Policy (CSP) headers](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md#content-security-policy).

Therefore, we recommended using the [`unoptimized`](#unoptimized) prop when the [`src`](#src) prop is known to be SVG. This happens automatically when `src` ends with `".svg"`.

However, if you need to serve SVG images with the default Image Optimization API, you can set `dangerouslyAllowSVG` inside your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowSVG: true,
    contentDispositionType: 'attachment',
    contentSecurityPolicy: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'none'; sandbox;",
  },
}
```

In addition, it is strongly recommended to also set `contentDispositionType` to force the browser to download the image, as well as `contentSecurityPolicy` to prevent scripts embedded in the image from executing.

### `contentDispositionType`

The default [loader](#loader) sets the [`Content-Disposition`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition#as_a_response_header_for_the_main_body) header to `attachment` for added protection since the API can serve arbitrary remote images.

The default value is `attachment` which forces the browser to download the image when visiting directly. This is particularly important when [`dangerouslyAllowSVG`](#dangerously-allow-svg) is true.

You can optionally configure `inline` to allow the browser to render the image when visiting directly, without downloading it.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    contentDispositionType: 'inline',
  },
}
```

### Animated Images

The default [loader](#loader) will automatically bypass Image Optimization for animated images and serve the image as-is.

Auto-detection for animated files is best-effort and supports GIF, APNG, and WebP. If you want to explicitly bypass Image Optimization for a given animated image, use the [unoptimized](#unoptimized) prop.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/image-response.md

# ImageResponse
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `ImageResponse` constructor allows you to generate dynamic images using JSX and CSS. This is useful for generating social media images such as Open Graph images, Twitter cards, and more.

## Reference

### Parameters

The following parameters are available for `ImageResponse`:

```jsx
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

new ImageResponse(
  element: ReactElement,
  options: {
    width?: number = 1200
    height?: number = 630
    emoji?: 'twemoji' | 'blobmoji' | 'noto' | 'openmoji' = 'twemoji',
    fonts?: {
      name: string,
      data: ArrayBuffer,
      weight: number,
      style: 'normal' | 'italic'
    }[]
    debug?: boolean = false

    // Options that will be passed to the HTTP response
    status?: number = 200
    statusText?: string
    headers?: Record<string, string>
  },
)
```

> Examples are available in the [Vercel OG Playground](https://og-playground.vercel.app/).

### Supported HTML and CSS features

`ImageResponse` supports common CSS properties including flexbox and absolute positioning, custom fonts, text wrapping, centering, and nested images.

Please refer to [Satori’s documentation](https://github.com/vercel/satori#css) for a list of supported HTML and CSS features.

## Behavior

* `ImageResponse` uses [@vercel/og](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation), [Satori](https://github.com/vercel/satori), and Resvg to convert HTML and CSS into PNG.
* Only flexbox and a subset of CSS properties are supported. Advanced layouts (e.g. `display: grid`) will not work.
* Maximum bundle size of `500KB`. The bundle size includes your JSX, CSS, fonts, images, and any other assets. If you exceed the limit, consider reducing the size of any assets or fetching at runtime.
* Only `ttf`, `otf`, and `woff` font formats are supported. To maximize the font parsing speed, `ttf` or `otf` are preferred over `woff`.

## Examples

### Route Handlers

`ImageResponse` can be used in Route Handlers to generate images dynamically at request time.

```js filename="app/api/route.js"
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export async function GET() {
  try {
    return new ImageResponse(
      (
        <div
          style={{
            height: '100%',
            width: '100%',
            display: 'flex',
            flexDirection: 'column',
            alignItems: 'center',
            justifyContent: 'center',
            backgroundColor: 'white',
            padding: '40px',
          }}
        >
          <div
            style={{
              fontSize: 60,
              fontWeight: 'bold',
              color: 'black',
              textAlign: 'center',
            }}
          >
            Welcome to My Site
          </div>
          <div
            style={{
              fontSize: 30,
              color: '#666',
              marginTop: '20px',
            }}
          >
            Generated with Next.js ImageResponse
          </div>
        </div>
      ),
      {
        width: 1200,
        height: 630,
      }
    )
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(`${e.message}`)
    return new Response(`Failed to generate the image`, {
      status: 500,
    })
  }
}
```

### File-based Metadata

You can use `ImageResponse` in a [`opengraph-image.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md) file to generate Open Graph images at build time or dynamically at request time.

```tsx filename="app/opengraph-image.tsx"
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'My site'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        My site
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
    }
  )
}
```

### Custom fonts

You can use custom fonts in your `ImageResponse` by providing a `fonts` array in the options.

```tsx filename="app/opengraph-image.tsx"
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { join } from 'node:path'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'My site'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  // Font loading, process.cwd() is Next.js project directory
  const interSemiBold = await readFile(
    join(process.cwd(), 'assets/Inter-SemiBold.ttf')
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ...
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
      fonts: [
        {
          name: 'Inter',
          data: interSemiBold,
          style: 'normal',
          weight: 400,
        },
      ],
    }
  )
}
```

# Image Component
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The Next.js Image component extends the HTML `<img>` element for automatic image optimization.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/profile.png"
      width={500}
      height={500}
      alt="Picture of the author"
    />
  )
}
```

## Reference

### Props

The following props are available:

#### `src`

The source of the image. Can be one of the following:

An internal path string.

```jsx
<Image src="/profile.png" />
```

An absolute external URL (must be configured with [remotePatterns](#remotepatterns)).

```jsx
<Image src="https://example.com/profile.png" />
```

A static import.

```jsx
import profile from './profile.png'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src={profile} />
}
```

> **Good to know**: For security reasons, the Image Optimization API using the default [loader](#loader) will *not* forward headers when fetching the `src` image.
> If the `src` image requires authentication, consider using the [unoptimized](#unoptimized) property to disable Image Optimization.

#### `alt`

The `alt` property is used to describe the image for screen readers and search engines. It is also the fallback text if images have been disabled or an error occurs while loading the image.

It should contain text that could replace the image [without changing the meaning of the page](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#general-guidelines). It is not meant to supplement the image and should not repeat information that is already provided in the captions above or below the image.

If the image is [purely decorative](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#a-purely-decorative-image-that-doesn't-add-any-information) or [not intended for the user](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#an-image-not-intended-for-the-user), the `alt` property should be an empty string (`alt=""`).

> Learn more about [image accessibility guidelines](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#alt).

#### `width` and `height`

The `width` and `height` properties represent the [intrinsic](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Intrinsic_Size) image size in pixels. This property is used to infer the correct **aspect ratio** used by browsers to reserve space for the image and avoid layout shift during loading. It does not determine the *rendered size* of the image, which is controlled by CSS.

```jsx
<Image src="/profile.png" width={500} height={500} />
```

You **must** set both `width` and `height` properties unless:

* The image is statically imported.
* The image has the [`fill` property](#fill)

If the height and width are unknown, we recommend using the [`fill` property](#fill).

#### `fill`

A boolean that causes the image to expand to the size of the parent element.

```js
<Image src="/profile.png" fill={true} />
```

**Positioning**:

* The parent element **must** assign `position: "relative"`, `"fixed"`, `"absolute"`.
* By default, the `<img>` element uses `position: "absolute"`.

**Object Fit**:

If no styles are applied to the image, the image will stretch to fit the container. You can use `objectFit` to control cropping and scaling.

* `"contain"`: The image will be scaled down to fit the container and preserve aspect ratio.
* `"cover"`: The image will fill the container and be cropped.

#### `loader`

A custom function used to generate the image URL. The function receives the following parameters, and returns a URL string for the image:

* [`src`](#src)
* [`width`](#width-and-height)
* [`quality`](#quality)

```js
'use client'

import Image from 'next/image'

const imageLoader = ({ src, width, quality }) => {
  return `https://example.com/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`
}

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      loader={imageLoader}
      src="me.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: Using props like `onLoad`, which accept a function, requires using [Client Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client) to serialize the provided function.

Alternatively, you can use the [loaderFile](#loaderfile) configuration in `next.config.js` to configure every instance of `next/image` in your application, without passing a prop.

#### `sizes`

Define the sizes of the image at different breakpoints. Used by the browser to choose the most appropriate size from the generated `srcset`.

```jsx
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div className="grid-element">
      <Image
        fill
        src="/example.png"
        sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1200px) 50vw, 33vw"
      />
    </div>
  )
}
```

`sizes` should be used when:

* The image is using the [`fill`](#fill) prop
* CSS is used to make the image responsive

If `sizes` is missing, the browser assumes the image will be as wide as the viewport (`100vw`). This can cause unnecessarily large images to be downloaded.

In addition, `sizes` affects how `srcset` is generated:

* Without `sizes`: Next.js generates a limited `srcset` (e.g. 1x, 2x), suitable for fixed-size images.
* With `sizes`: Next.js generates a full `srcset` (e.g. 640w, 750w, etc.), optimized for responsive layouts.

> Learn more about `srcset` and `sizes` on [web.dev](https://web.dev/learn/design/responsive-images/#sizes) and [mdn](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#sizes).

#### `quality`

An integer between `1` and `100` that sets the quality of the optimized image. Higher values increase file size and visual fidelity. Lower values reduce file size but may affect sharpness.

```jsx
// Default quality is 75
<Image quality={75} />
```

If you’ve configured [qualities](#qualities) in `next.config.js`, the value must match one of the allowed entries.

> **Good to know**: If the original image is already low quality, setting a high quality value will increase the file size without improving appearance.

#### `style`

Allows passing CSS styles to the underlying image element.

```jsx
const imageStyle = {
  borderRadius: '50%',
  border: '1px solid #fff',
  width: '100px',
  height: 'auto',
}

export default function ProfileImage() {
  return <Image src="..." style={imageStyle} />
}
```

> **Good to know**: If you’re using the `style` prop to set a custom width, be sure to also set `height: 'auto'` to preserve the image’s aspect ratio.

#### `preload`

A boolean that indicates if the image should be preloaded.

```jsx
// Default preload is false
<Image preload={false} />
```

* `true`: [Preloads](https://web.dev/preload-responsive-images/) the image by inserting a `<link>` in the `<head>`.
* `false`: Does not preload the image.

**When to use it:**

* The image is the [Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)](https://nextjs.org/learn/seo/web-performance/lcp) element.
* The image is above the fold, typically the hero image.
* You want to begin loading the image in the `<head>`, before its discovered later in the `<body>`.

**When not to use it:**

* When you have multiple images that could be considered the [Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)](https://nextjs.org/learn/seo/web-performance/lcp) element depending on the viewport.
* When the `loading` property is used.
* When the `fetchPriority` property is used.

In most cases, you should use `loading="eager"` or `fetchPriority="high"` instead of `preload`.

#### `priority`

Starting with Next.js 16, the `priority` property has been deprecated in favor of the [`preload`](#preload) property in order to make the behavior clear.

#### `loading`

Controls when the image should start loading.

```jsx
// Defaults to lazy
<Image loading="lazy" />
```

* `lazy`: Defer loading the image until it reaches a calculated distance from the viewport.
* `eager`: Load the image immediately, regardless of its position in the page.

Use `eager` only when you want to ensure the image is loaded immediately.

> Learn more about the [`loading` attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#loading).

#### `placeholder`

Specifies a placeholder to use while the image is loading, improving the perceived loading performance.

```jsx
// defaults to empty
<Image placeholder="empty" />
```

* `empty`: No placeholder while the image is loading.
* `blur`: Use a blurred version of the image as a placeholder. Must be used with the [`blurDataURL`](#blurdataurl) property.
* `data:image/...`: Uses the [Data URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs) as the placeholder.

**Examples:**

* [`blur` placeholder](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/placeholder)
* [Shimmer effect with data URL `placeholder` prop](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/shimmer)
* [Color effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/color)

> Learn more about the [`placeholder` attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#placeholder).

#### `blurDataURL`

A [Data URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs) to
be used as a placeholder image before the image successfully loads. Can be automatically set or used with the [`placeholder="blur"`](#placeholder) property.

```jsx
<Image placeholder="blur" blurDataURL="..." />
```

The image is automatically enlarged and blurred, so a very small image (10px or less) is recommended.

**Automatic**

If `src` is a static import of a `jpg`, `png`, `webp`, or `avif` file, `blurDataURL` is added automatically—unless the image is animated.

**Manually set**

If the image is dynamic or remote, you must provide `blurDataURL` yourself. To generate one, you can use:

* [A online tool like png-pixel.com](https://png-pixel.com)
* [A library like Plaiceholder](https://github.com/joe-bell/plaiceholder)

A large blurDataURL may hurt performance. Keep it small and simple.

**Examples:**

* [Default `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/placeholder)
* [Color effect with `blurDataURL` prop](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/color)

#### `onLoad`

A callback function that is invoked once the image is completely loaded and the [placeholder](#placeholder) has been removed.

```jsx
<Image onLoad={(e) => console.log(e.target.naturalWidth)} />
```

The callback function will be called with one argument, the event which has a `target` that references the underlying `<img>` element.

> **Good to know**: Using props like `onLoad`, which accept a function, requires using [Client Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client) to serialize the provided function.

#### `onError`

A callback function that is invoked if the image fails to load.

```jsx
<Image onError={(e) => console.error(e.target.id)} />
```

> **Good to know**: Using props like `onError`, which accept a function, requires using [Client Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client) to serialize the provided function.

#### `unoptimized`

A boolean that indicates if the image should be optimized. This is useful for images that do not benefit from optimization such as small images (less than 1KB), vector images (SVG), or animated images (GIF).

```js
import Image from 'next/image'

const UnoptimizedImage = (props) => {
  // Default is false
  return <Image {...props} unoptimized />
}
```

* `true`: The source image will be served as-is from the `src` instead of changing quality, size, or format.
* `false`: The source image will be optimized.

Since Next.js 12.3.0, this prop can be assigned to all images by updating `next.config.js` with the following configuration:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    unoptimized: true,
  },
}
```

#### `overrideSrc`

When providing the `src` prop to the `<Image>` component, both the `srcset` and `src` attributes are generated automatically for the resulting `<img>`.

```jsx filename="input.js"
<Image src="/profile.jpg" />
```

```html filename="output.html"
<img
  srcset="
    /_next/image?url=%2Fprofile.jpg&w=640&q=75 1x,
    /_next/image?url=%2Fprofile.jpg&w=828&q=75 2x
  "
  src="/_next/image?url=%2Fprofile.jpg&w=828&q=75"
/>
```

In some cases, it is not desirable to have the `src` attribute generated and you may wish to override it using the `overrideSrc` prop.

For example, when upgrading an existing website from `<img>` to `<Image>`, you may wish to maintain the same `src` attribute for SEO purposes such as image ranking or avoiding recrawl.

```jsx filename="input.js"
<Image src="/profile.jpg" overrideSrc="/override.jpg" />
```

```html filename="output.html"
<img
  srcset="
    /_next/image?url=%2Fprofile.jpg&w=640&q=75 1x,
    /_next/image?url=%2Fprofile.jpg&w=828&q=75 2x
  "
  src="/override.jpg"
/>
```

#### `decoding`

A hint to the browser indicating if it should wait for the image to be decoded before presenting other content updates or not.

```jsx
// Default is async
<Image decoding="async" />
```

* `async`: Asynchronously decode the image and allow other content to be rendered before it completes.
* `sync`: Synchronously decode the image for atomic presentation with other content.
* `auto`: No preference. The browser chooses the best approach.

> Learn more about the [`decoding` attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#decoding).

### Other Props

Other properties on the `<Image />` component will be passed to the underlying `img` element with the exception of the following:

* `srcSet`: Use [Device Sizes](#devicesizes) instead.

### Deprecated props

#### `onLoadingComplete`

> **Warning**: Deprecated in Next.js 14, use [`onLoad`](#onload) instead.

A callback function that is invoked once the image is completely loaded and the [placeholder](#placeholder) has been removed.

The callback function will be called with one argument, a reference to the underlying `<img>` element.

```jsx
'use client'

<Image onLoadingComplete={(img) => console.log(img.naturalWidth)} />
```

> **Good to know**: Using props like `onLoadingComplete`, which accept a function, requires using [Client Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client) to serialize the provided function.

### Configuration options

You can configure the Image Component in `next.config.js`. The following options are available:

#### `localPatterns`

Use `localPatterns` in your `next.config.js` file to allow images from specific local paths to be optimized and block all others.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    localPatterns: [
      {
        pathname: '/assets/images/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/image` must start with `/assets/images/` and must not have a query string. Attempting to optimize any other path will respond with `400` Bad Request error.

> **Good to know**: Omitting the `search` property allows all search parameters which could allow malicious actors to optimize URLs you did not intend. Try using a specific value like `search: '?v=2'` to ensure an exact match.

#### `remotePatterns`

Use `remotePatterns` in your `next.config.js` file to allow images from specific external paths and block all others. This ensures that only external images from your account can be served.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [new URL('https://example.com/account123/**')],
  },
}
```

You can also configure `remotePatterns` using the object:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'example.com',
        port: '',
        pathname: '/account123/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/image` must start with `https://example.com/account123/` and must not have a query string. Any other protocol, hostname, port, or unmatched path will respond with `400` Bad Request.

**Wildcard Patterns:**

Wildcard patterns can be used for both `pathname` and `hostname` and have the following syntax:

* `*` match a single path segment or subdomain
* `**` match any number of path segments at the end or subdomains at the beginning. This syntax does not work in the middle of the pattern.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: '**.example.com',
        port: '',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

This allows subdomains like `image.example.com`. Query strings and custom ports are still blocked.

> **Good to know**: When omitting `protocol`, `port`, `pathname`, or `search` then the wildcard `**` is implied. This is not recommended because it may allow malicious actors to optimize urls you did not intend.

**Query Strings**:

You can also restrict query strings using the `search` property:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'assets.example.com',
        search: '?v=1727111025337',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

The example above will ensure the `src` property of `next/image` must start with `https://assets.example.com` and must have the exact query string `?v=1727111025337`. Any other protocol or query string will respond with `400` Bad Request.

#### `loaderFile`

`loaderFiles` allows you to use a custom image optimization service instead of Next.js.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    loader: 'custom',
    loaderFile: './my/image/loader.js',
  },
}
```

The path must be relative to the project root. The file must export a default function that returns a URL string:

```js filename="my/image/loader.js"
'use client'

export default function myImageLoader({ src, width, quality }) {
  return `https://example.com/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`
}
```

**Example:**

* [Custom Image Loader Configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/images.md#example-loader-configuration)

> Alternatively, you can use the [`loader` prop](#loader) to configure each instance of `next/image`.

#### `path`

If you want to change or prefix the default path for the Image Optimization API, you can do so with the `path` property. The default value for `path` is `/_next/image`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    path: '/my-prefix/_next/image',
  },
}
```

#### `deviceSizes`

`deviceSizes` allows you to specify a list of device width breakpoints. These widths are used when the `next/image` component uses [`sizes`](#sizes) prop to ensure the correct image is served for the user's device.

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200, 1920, 2048, 3840],
  },
}
```

#### `imageSizes`

`imageSizes` allows you to specify a list of image widths. These widths are concatenated with the array of [device sizes](#devicesizes) to form the full array of sizes used to generate image [srcset](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/srcset).

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    imageSizes: [32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],
  },
}
```

`imageSizes` is only used for images which provide a [`sizes`](#sizes) prop, which indicates that the image is less than the full width of the screen. Therefore, the sizes in `imageSizes` should all be smaller than the smallest size in `deviceSizes`.

#### `qualities`

`qualities` allows you to specify a list of image quality values.

If not configuration is provided, the default below is used:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    qualities: [75],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: This field is required starting with Next.js 16 because unrestricted access could allow malicious actors to optimize more qualities than you intended.

You can add more image qualities to the allowlist, such as the following:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    qualities: [25, 50, 75, 100],
  },
}
```

In the example above, only four qualities are allowed: 25, 50, 75, and 100.

If the [`quality`](#quality) prop does not match a value in this array, the closest allowed value will be used.

If the REST API is visited directly with a quality that does not match a value in this array, the server will return a 400 Bad Request response.

#### `formats`

`formats` allows you to specify a list of image formats to be used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    // Default
    formats: ['image/webp'],
  },
}
```

Next.js automatically detects the browser's supported image formats via the request's `Accept` header in order to determine the best output format.

If the `Accept` header matches more than one of the configured formats, the first match in the array is used. Therefore, the array order matters. If there is no match (or the source image is animated), it will use the original image's format.

You can enable AVIF support, which will fallback to the original format of the src image if the browser [does not support AVIF](https://caniuse.com/avif):

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/avif'],
  },
}
```

You can also enable both AVIF and WebP formats together. AVIF will be preferred for browsers that support it, with WebP as a fallback:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    formats: ['image/avif', 'image/webp'],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * We still recommend using WebP for most use cases.
> * AVIF generally takes 50% longer to encode but it compresses 20% smaller compared to WebP. This means that the first time an image is requested, it will typically be slower, but subsequent requests that are cached will be faster.
> * When using multiple formats, Next.js will cache each format separately. This means increased storage requirements compared to using a single format, as both AVIF and WebP versions of images will be stored for different browser support.
> * If you self-host with a Proxy/CDN in front of Next.js, you must configure the Proxy to forward the `Accept` header.

#### `minimumCacheTTL`

`minimumCacheTTL` allows you to configure the Time to Live (TTL) in seconds for cached optimized images. In many cases, it's better to use a [Static Image Import](/docs/app/getting-started/images.md#local-images) which will automatically hash the file contents and cache the image forever with a `Cache-Control` header of `immutable`.

If no configuration is provided, the default below is used.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 14400, // 4 hours
  },
}
```

You can increase the TTL to reduce the number of revalidations and potentially lower cost:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 2678400, // 31 days
  },
}
```

The expiration (or rather Max Age) of the optimized image is defined by either the `minimumCacheTTL` or the upstream image `Cache-Control` header, whichever is larger.

If you need to change the caching behavior per image, you can configure [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md) to set the `Cache-Control` header on the upstream image (e.g. `/some-asset.jpg`, not `/_next/image` itself).

There is no mechanism to invalidate the cache at this time, so its best to keep `minimumCacheTTL` low. Otherwise you may need to manually change the [`src`](#src) prop or delete the cached file `<distDir>/cache/images`.

#### `disableStaticImages`

`disableStaticImages` allows you to disable static image imports.

The default behavior allows you to import static files such as `import icon from './icon.png'` and then pass that to the `src` property. In some cases, you may wish to disable this feature if it conflicts with other plugins that expect the import to behave differently.

You can disable static image imports inside your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    disableStaticImages: true,
  },
}
```

#### `maximumRedirects`

The default image optimization loader will follow HTTP redirects when fetching remote images up to 3 times.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    maximumRedirects: 3,
  },
}
```

You can configure the number of redirects to follow when fetching remote images. Setting the value to `0` will disable following redirects.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    maximumRedirects: 0,
  },
}
```

#### `dangerouslyAllowLocalIP`

In rare cases when self-hosting Next.js on a private network, you may want to allow optimizing images from local IP addresses on the same network. This is not recommended for most users because it could allow malicious users to access content on your internal network.

By default, the value is false.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowLocalIP: false,
  },
}
```

If you need to optimize remote images hosted elsewhere in your local network, you can set the value to true.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowLocalIP: true,
  },
}
```

#### `dangerouslyAllowSVG`

`dangerouslyAllowSVG` allows you to serve SVG images.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowSVG: true,
  },
}
```

By default, Next.js does not optimize SVG images for a few reasons:

* SVG is a vector format meaning it can be resized losslessly.
* SVG has many of the same features as HTML/CSS, which can lead to vulnerabilities without proper [Content Security Policy (CSP) headers](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md#content-security-policy).

We recommend using the [`unoptimized`](#unoptimized) prop when the [`src`](#src) prop is known to be SVG. This happens automatically when `src` ends with `".svg"`.

```jsx
<Image src="/my-image.svg" unoptimized />
```

In addition, it is strongly recommended to also set `contentDispositionType` to force the browser to download the image, as well as `contentSecurityPolicy` to prevent scripts embedded in the image from executing.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowSVG: true,
    contentDispositionType: 'attachment',
    contentSecurityPolicy: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'none'; sandbox;",
  },
}
```

#### `contentDispositionType`

`contentDispositionType` allows you to configure the [`Content-Disposition`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition#as_a_response_header_for_the_main_body) header.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    contentDispositionType: 'inline',
  },
}
```

#### `contentSecurityPolicy`

`contentSecurityPolicy` allows you to configure the [`Content-Security-Policy`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CSP) header for images. This is particularly important when using [`dangerouslyAllowSVG`](#dangerouslyallowsvg) to prevent scripts embedded in the image from executing.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    contentSecurityPolicy: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'none'; sandbox;",
  },
}
```

By default, the [loader](#loader) sets the [`Content-Disposition`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition#as_a_response_header_for_the_main_body) header to `attachment` for added protection since the API can serve arbitrary remote images.

The default value is `attachment` which forces the browser to download the image when visiting directly. This is particularly important when [`dangerouslyAllowSVG`](#dangerouslyallowsvg) is true.

You can optionally configure `inline` to allow the browser to render the image when visiting directly, without downloading it.

### Deprecated configuration options

#### `domains`

> **Warning**: Deprecated since Next.js 14 in favor of strict [`remotePatterns`](#remotepatterns) in order to protect your application from malicious users.

Similar to [`remotePatterns`](#remotepatterns), the `domains` configuration can be used to provide a list of allowed hostnames for external images. However, the `domains` configuration does not support wildcard pattern matching and it cannot restrict protocol, port, or pathname.

Since most remote image servers are shared between multiple tenants, it's safer to use `remotePatterns` to ensure only the intended images are optimized.

Below is an example of the `domains` property in the `next.config.js` file:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    domains: ['assets.acme.com'],
  },
}
```

## Functions

### `getImageProps`

The `getImageProps` function can be used to get the props that would be passed to the underlying `<img>` element, and instead pass them to another component, style, canvas, etc.

```jsx
import { getImageProps } from 'next/image'

const { props } = getImageProps({
  src: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
  alt: 'A scenic mountain view',
  width: 1200,
  height: 800,
})

function ImageWithCaption() {
  return (
    <figure>
      <img {...props} />
      <figcaption>A scenic mountain view</figcaption>
    </figure>
  )
}
```

This also avoid calling React `useState()` so it can lead to better performance, but it cannot be used with the [`placeholder`](#placeholder) prop because the placeholder will never be removed.

## Known browser bugs

This `next/image` component uses browser native [lazy loading](https://caniuse.com/loading-lazy-attr), which may fallback to eager loading for older browsers before Safari 15.4. When using the blur-up placeholder, older browsers before Safari 12 will fallback to empty placeholder. When using styles with `width`/`height` of `auto`, it is possible to cause [Layout Shift](https://web.dev/cls/) on older browsers before Safari 15 that don't [preserve the aspect ratio](https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_elements_img_aspect_ratio_computed_from_attributes). For more details, see [this MDN video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-d_SoCHeWE).

* [Safari 15 - 16.3](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243601) display a gray border while loading. Safari 16.4 [fixed this issue](https://webkit.org/blog/13966/webkit-features-in-safari-16-4/#:~:text=Now%20in%20Safari%2016.4%2C%20a%20gray%20line%20no%20longer%20appears%20to%20mark%20the%20space%20where%20a%20lazy%2Dloaded%20image%20will%20appear%20once%20it%E2%80%99s%20been%20loaded.). Possible solutions:
  * Use CSS `@supports (font: -apple-system-body) and (-webkit-appearance: none) { img[loading="lazy"] { clip-path: inset(0.6px) } }`
  * Use [`loading="eager"`](#loading) if the image is above the fold
* [Firefox 67+](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556156) displays a white background while loading. Possible solutions:
  * Enable [AVIF `formats`](#formats)
  * Use [`placeholder`](#placeholder)

## Examples

### Styling images

Styling the Image component is similar to styling a normal `<img>` element, but there are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

Use `className` or `style`, not `styled-jsx`. In most cases, we recommend using the `className` prop. This can be an imported [CSS Module](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md), a [global stylesheet](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#global-css), etc.

```jsx
import styles from './styles.module.css'

export default function MyImage() {
  return <Image className={styles.image} src="/my-image.png" alt="My Image" />
}
```

You can also use the `style` prop to assign inline styles.

```jsx
export default function MyImage() {
  return (
    <Image style={{ borderRadius: '8px' }} src="/my-image.png" alt="My Image" />
  )
}
```

When using `fill`, the parent element must have `position: relative` or `display: block`. This is necessary for the proper rendering of the image element in that layout mode.

```jsx
<div style={{ position: 'relative' }}>
  <Image fill src="/my-image.png" alt="My Image" />
</div>
```

You cannot use [styled-jsx](/docs/app/guides/css-in-js.md) because it's scoped to the current component (unless you mark the style as `global`).

### Responsive images with a static export

When you import a static image, Next.js automatically sets its width and height based on the file. You can make the image responsive by setting the style:

![Responsive image filling the width and height of its parent container](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/responsive-image.png)

```jsx
import Image from 'next/image'
import mountains from '../public/mountains.jpg'

export default function Responsive() {
  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column' }}>
      <Image
        alt="Mountains"
        // Importing an image will
        // automatically set the width and height
        src={mountains}
        sizes="100vw"
        // Make the image display full width
        // and preserve its aspect ratio
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: 'auto',
        }}
      />
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Responsive images with a remote URL

If the source image is a dynamic or a remote URL, you must provide the width and height props so Next.js can calculate the aspect ratio:

```jsx filename="components/page.js"
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page({ photoUrl }) {
  return (
    <Image
      src={photoUrl}
      alt="Picture of the author"
      sizes="100vw"
      style={{
        width: '100%',
        height: 'auto',
      }}
      width={500}
      height={300}
    />
  )
}
```

Try it out:

* [Demo the image responsive to viewport](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/responsive)

### Responsive image with `fill`

If you don't know the aspect ratio of the image, you can add the [`fill` prop](#fill) with the `objectFit` prop set to `cover`. This will make the image fill the full width of its parent container.

![Grid of images filling parent container width](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/fill-container.png)

```jsx
import Image from 'next/image'
import mountains from '../public/mountains.jpg'

export default function Fill() {
  return (
    <div
      style={{
        display: 'grid',
        gridGap: '8px',
        gridTemplateColumns: 'repeat(auto-fit, minmax(400px, auto))',
      }}
    >
      <div style={{ position: 'relative', width: '400px' }}>
        <Image
          alt="Mountains"
          src={mountains}
          fill
          sizes="(min-width: 808px) 50vw, 100vw"
          style={{
            objectFit: 'cover', // cover, contain, none
          }}
        />
      </div>
      {/* And more images in the grid... */}
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Background Image

Use the `fill` prop to make the image cover the entire screen area:

![Background image taking full width and height of page](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/background-image.png)

```jsx
import Image from 'next/image'
import mountains from '../public/mountains.jpg'

export default function Background() {
  return (
    <Image
      alt="Mountains"
      src={mountains}
      placeholder="blur"
      quality={100}
      fill
      sizes="100vw"
      style={{
        objectFit: 'cover',
      }}
    />
  )
}
```

For examples of the Image component used with the various styles, see the [Image Component Demo](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery).

### Remote images

To use a remote image, the `src` property should be a URL string.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/profile.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

Since Next.js does not have access to remote files during the build process, you'll need to provide the [`width`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height), [`height`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height) and optional [`blurDataURL`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#blurdataurl) props manually.

The `width` and `height` attributes are used to infer the correct aspect ratio of image and avoid layout shift from the image loading in. The `width` and `height` do *not* determine the rendered size of the image file.

To safely allow optimizing images, define a list of supported URL patterns in `next.config.js`. Be as specific as possible to prevent malicious usage. For example, the following configuration will only allow images from a specific AWS S3 bucket:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 's3.amazonaws.com',
        port: '',
        pathname: '/my-bucket/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

### Theme detection

If you want to display a different image for light and dark mode, you can create a new component that wraps two `<Image>` components and reveals the correct one based on a CSS media query.

```css filename="components/theme-image.module.css"
.imgDark {
  display: none;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  .imgLight {
    display: none;
  }
  .imgDark {
    display: unset;
  }
}
```

```tsx filename="components/theme-image.tsx" switcher
import styles from './theme-image.module.css'
import Image, { ImageProps } from 'next/image'

type Props = Omit<ImageProps, 'src' | 'preload' | 'loading'> & {
  srcLight: string
  srcDark: string
}

const ThemeImage = (props: Props) => {
  const { srcLight, srcDark, ...rest } = props

  return (
    <>
      <Image {...rest} src={srcLight} className={styles.imgLight} />
      <Image {...rest} src={srcDark} className={styles.imgDark} />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="components/theme-image.js" switcher
import styles from './theme-image.module.css'
import Image from 'next/image'

const ThemeImage = (props) => {
  const { srcLight, srcDark, ...rest } = props

  return (
    <>
      <Image {...rest} src={srcLight} className={styles.imgLight} />
      <Image {...rest} src={srcDark} className={styles.imgDark} />
    </>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: The default behavior of `loading="lazy"` ensures that only the correct image is loaded. You cannot use `preload` or `loading="eager"` because that would cause both images to load. Instead, you can use [`fetchPriority="high"`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/fetchPriority).

Try it out:

* [Demo light/dark mode theme detection](https://image-component.nextjs.gallery/theme)

### Art direction

If you want to display a different image for mobile and desktop, sometimes called [Art Direction](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images#art_direction), you can provide different `src`, `width`, `height`, and `quality` props to `getImageProps()`.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { getImageProps } from 'next/image'

export default function Home() {
  const common = { alt: 'Art Direction Example', sizes: '100vw' }
  const {
    props: { srcSet: desktop },
  } = getImageProps({
    ...common,
    width: 1440,
    height: 875,
    quality: 80,
    src: '/desktop.jpg',
  })
  const {
    props: { srcSet: mobile, ...rest },
  } = getImageProps({
    ...common,
    width: 750,
    height: 1334,
    quality: 70,
    src: '/mobile.jpg',
  })

  return (
    <picture>
      <source media="(min-width: 1000px)" srcSet={desktop} />
      <source media="(min-width: 500px)" srcSet={mobile} />
      <img {...rest} style={{ width: '100%', height: 'auto' }} />
    </picture>
  )
}
```

### Background CSS

You can even convert the `srcSet` string to the [`image-set()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/image/image-set) CSS function to optimize a background image.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { getImageProps } from 'next/image'

function getBackgroundImage(srcSet = '') {
  const imageSet = srcSet
    .split(', ')
    .map((str) => {
      const [url, dpi] = str.split(' ')
      return `url("${url}") ${dpi}`
    })
    .join(', ')
  return `image-set(${imageSet})`
}

export default function Home() {
  const {
    props: { srcSet },
  } = getImageProps({ alt: '', width: 128, height: 128, src: '/img.png' })
  const backgroundImage = getBackgroundImage(srcSet)
  const style = { height: '100vh', width: '100vw', backgroundImage }

  return (
    <main style={style}>
      <h1>Hello World</h1>
    </main>
  )
}
```

# Image Optimization
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The Next.js [`<Image>`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) component extends the HTML `<img>` element to provide:

* **Size optimization:** Automatically serving correctly sized images for each device, using modern image formats like WebP.
* **Visual stability:** Preventing [layout shift](https://web.dev/articles/cls) automatically when images are loading.
* **Faster page loads:** Only loading images when they enter the viewport using native browser lazy loading, with optional blur-up placeholders.
* **Asset flexibility:** Resizing images on-demand, even images stored on remote servers.

To start using `<Image>`, import it from `next/image` and render it within your component.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src="" alt="" />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src="" alt="" />
}
```

The `src` property can be a [local](#local-images) or [remote](#remote-images) image.

> **🎥 Watch:** Learn more about how to use `next/image` → [YouTube (9 minutes)](https://youtu.be/IU_qq_c_lKA).

## Local images

You can store static files, like images and fonts, under a folder called [`public`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md) in the root directory. Files inside `public` can then be referenced by your code starting from the base URL (`/`).

![Folder structure showing app and public folders](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/public-folder.png)

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/profile.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/profile.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

If the image is statically imported, Next.js will automatically determine the intrinsic [`width`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height) and [`height`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height). These values are used to determine the image ratio and prevent [Cumulative Layout Shift](https://web.dev/articles/cls) while your image is loading.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'
import ProfileImage from './profile.png'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src={ProfileImage}
      alt="Picture of the author"
      // width={500} automatically provided
      // height={500} automatically provided
      // blurDataURL="data:..." automatically provided
      // placeholder="blur" // Optional blur-up while loading
    />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'
import ProfileImage from './profile.png'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src={ProfileImage}
      alt="Picture of the author"
      // width={500} automatically provided
      // height={500} automatically provided
      // blurDataURL="data:..." automatically provided
      // placeholder="blur" // Optional blur-up while loading
    />
  )
}
```

## Remote images

To use a remote image, you can provide a URL string for the `src` property.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/profile.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/profile.png"
      alt="Picture of the author"
      width={500}
      height={500}
    />
  )
}
```

Since Next.js does not have access to remote files during the build process, you'll need to provide the [`width`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height), [`height`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#width-and-height) and optional [`blurDataURL`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#blurdataurl) props manually. The `width` and `height` are used to infer the correct aspect ratio of image and avoid layout shift from the image loading in. Alternatively, you can use the [`fill` property](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#fill) to make the image fill the size of the parent element.

To safely allow images from remote servers, you need to define a list of supported URL patterns in [`next.config.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md). Be as specific as possible to prevent malicious usage. For example, the following configuration will only allow images from a specific AWS S3 bucket:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const config: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 's3.amazonaws.com',
        port: '',
        pathname: '/my-bucket/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 's3.amazonaws.com',
        port: '',
        pathname: '/my-bucket/**',
        search: '',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

# How to implement Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
@doc-version: 16.0.4


<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [Next.js Commerce](https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/nextjs-commerce)
* [On-Demand ISR](https://on-demand-isr.vercel.app)
* [Next.js Forms](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/next-forms)

</details>

Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) enables you to:

* Update static content without rebuilding the entire site
* Reduce server load by serving prerendered, static pages for most requests
* Ensure proper `cache-control` headers are automatically added to pages
* Handle large amounts of content pages without long `next build` times

Here's a minimal example:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
interface Post {
  id: string
  title: string
  content: string
}

// Next.js will invalidate the cache when a
// request comes in, at most once every 60 seconds.
export const revalidate = 60

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts: Post[] = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog').then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )
  return posts.map((post) => ({
    id: String(post.id),
  }))
}

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const post: Post = await fetch(`https://api.vercel.app/blog/${id}`).then(
    (res) => res.json()
  )
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>{post.title}</h1>
      <p>{post.content}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[id]/page.jsx" switcher
// Next.js will invalidate the cache when a
// request comes in, at most once every 60 seconds.
export const revalidate = 60

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog').then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )
  return posts.map((post) => ({
    id: String(post.id),
  }))
}

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const post = await fetch(`https://api.vercel.app/blog/${id}`).then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>{post.title}</h1>
      <p>{post.content}</p>
    </main>
  )
}
```

Here's how this example works:

1. During `next build`, all known blog posts are generated
2. All requests made to these pages (e.g. `/blog/1`) are cached and instantaneous
3. After 60 seconds has passed, the next request will still return the cached (now stale) page
4. The cache is invalidated and a new version of the page begins generating in the background
5. Once generated successfully, the next request will return the updated page and cache it for subsequent requests
6. If `/blog/26` is requested, and it exists, the page will be generated on-demand. This behavior can be changed by using a different [dynamicParams](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams) value. However, if the post does not exist, then 404 is returned.

## Reference

### Route segment config

* [`revalidate`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#revalidate)
* [`dynamicParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamicparams)

### Functions

* [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md)
* [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md)

## Examples

### Time-based revalidation

This fetches and displays a list of blog posts on /blog. After an hour has passed, the next visitor will still receive the cached (stale) version of the page immediately for a fast response. Simultaneously, Next.js triggers regeneration of a fresh version in the background. Once the new version is successfully generated, it replaces the cached version, and subsequent visitors will receive the updated content.

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
interface Post {
  id: string
  title: string
  content: string
}

export const revalidate = 3600 // invalidate every hour

export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts: Post[] = await data.json()
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Blog Posts</h1>
      <ul>
        {posts.map((post) => (
          <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
export const revalidate = 3600 // invalidate every hour

export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await data.json()
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Blog Posts</h1>
      <ul>
        {posts.map((post) => (
          <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </main>
  )
}
```

We recommend setting a high revalidation time. For instance, 1 hour instead of 1 second. If you need more precision, consider using on-demand revalidation. If you need real-time data, consider switching to [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering).

### On-demand revalidation with `revalidatePath`

For a more precise method of revalidation, invalidate cached pages on-demand with the `revalidatePath` function.

For example, this Server Action would get called after adding a new post. Regardless of how you retrieve your data in your Server Component, either using `fetch` or connecting to a database, this will invalidate the cache for the entire route. The next request to that route will trigger regeneration and serve fresh data, which will then be cached for subsequent requests.

> **Note:** `revalidatePath` invalidates the cache entries but regeneration happens on the next request. If you want to eagerly regenerate the cache entry immediately instead of waiting for the next request, you can use the Pages router [`res.revalidate`](docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration#on-demand-validation-with-resrevalidate) method. We're working on adding new methods to provide eager regeneration capabilities for the App Router.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost() {
  // Invalidate the cache for the /posts route
  revalidatePath('/posts')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost() {
  // Invalidate the cache for the /posts route
  revalidatePath('/posts')
}
```

[View a demo](https://on-demand-isr.vercel.app) and [explore the source code](https://github.com/vercel/on-demand-isr).

### On-demand revalidation with `revalidateTag`

For most use cases, prefer revalidating entire paths. If you need more granular control, you can use the `revalidateTag` function. For example, you can tag individual `fetch` calls:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog', {
    next: { tags: ['posts'] },
  })
  const posts = await data.json()
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog', {
    next: { tags: ['posts'] },
  })
  const posts = await data.json()
  // ...
}
```

If you are using an ORM or connecting to a database, you can use `unstable_cache`:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache'
import { db, posts } from '@/lib/db'

const getCachedPosts = unstable_cache(
  async () => {
    return await db.select().from(posts)
  },
  ['posts'],
  { revalidate: 3600, tags: ['posts'] }
)

export default async function Page() {
  const posts = getCachedPosts()
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache'
import { db, posts } from '@/lib/db'

const getCachedPosts = unstable_cache(
  async () => {
    return await db.select().from(posts)
  },
  ['posts'],
  { revalidate: 3600, tags: ['posts'] }
)

export default async function Page() {
  const posts = getCachedPosts()
  // ...
}
```

You can then use `revalidateTag` in a [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md):

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost() {
  // Invalidate all data tagged with 'posts'
  revalidateTag('posts')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost() {
  // Invalidate all data tagged with 'posts'
  revalidateTag('posts')
}
```

### Handling uncaught exceptions

If an error is thrown while attempting to revalidate data, the last successfully generated data will continue to be served from the cache. On the next subsequent request, Next.js will retry revalidating the data. [Learn more about error handling](/docs/app/getting-started/error-handling.md).

### Customizing the cache location

You can configure the Next.js cache location if you want to persist cached pages and data to durable storage, or share the cache across multiple containers or instances of your Next.js application. [Learn more](/docs/app/guides/self-hosting.md#caching-and-isr).

## Troubleshooting

### Debugging cached data in local development

If you are using the `fetch` API, you can add additional logging to understand which requests are cached or uncached. [Learn more about the `logging` option](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/logging.md).

```jsx filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    fetches: {
      fullUrl: true,
    },
  },
}
```

### Verifying correct production behavior

To verify your pages are cached and revalidated correctly in production, you can test locally by running `next build` and then `next start` to run the production Next.js server.

This will allow you to test ISR behavior as it would work in a production environment. For further debugging, add the following environment variable to your `.env` file:

```bash filename=".env"
NEXT_PRIVATE_DEBUG_CACHE=1
```

This will make the Next.js server console log ISR cache hits and misses. You can inspect the output to see which pages are generated during `next build`, as well as how pages are updated as paths are accessed on-demand.

## Caveats

* ISR is only supported when using the Node.js runtime (default).
* ISR is not supported when creating a [Static Export](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md).
* If you have multiple `fetch` requests in a statically rendered route, and each has a different `revalidate` frequency, the lowest time will be used for ISR. However, those revalidate frequencies will still be respected by the [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache).
* If any of the `fetch` requests used on a route have a `revalidate` time of `0`, or an explicit `no-store`, the route will be [dynamically rendered](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering).
* Proxy won't be executed for on-demand ISR requests, meaning any path rewrites or logic in Proxy will not be applied. Ensure you are revalidating the exact path. For example, `/post/1` instead of a rewritten `/post-1`.

# Custom Next.js Cache Handler
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can configure the Next.js cache location if you want to persist cached pages and data to durable storage, or share the cache across multiple containers or instances of your Next.js application.

> **Good to know**: The `cacheHandler` (singular) configuration is specifically used by Next.js for server cache operations such as storing and revalidating ISR and route handler responses. It is **not** used by `'use cache'` directives. For `'use cache'` directives, use [`cacheHandlers`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheHandlers.md) (plural) instead.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  cacheHandler: require.resolve('./cache-handler.js'),
  cacheMaxMemorySize: 0, // disable default in-memory caching
}
```

View an example of a [custom cache handler](/docs/app/guides/self-hosting.md#configuring-caching) and learn more about the implementation.

## API Reference

The cache handler can implement the following methods: `get`, `set`, `revalidateTag`, and `resetRequestCache`.

### `get()`

| Parameter | Type     | Description                  |
| --------- | -------- | ---------------------------- |
| `key`     | `string` | The key to the cached value. |

Returns the cached value or `null` if not found.

### `set()`

| Parameter | Type           | Description                      |
| --------- | -------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `key`     | `string`       | The key to store the data under. |
| `data`    | Data or `null` | The data to be cached.           |
| `ctx`     | `{ tags: [] }` | The cache tags provided.         |

Returns `Promise<void>`.

### `revalidateTag()`

| Parameter | Type                   | Description                   |
| --------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `tag`     | `string` or `string[]` | The cache tags to revalidate. |

Returns `Promise<void>`. Learn more about [revalidating data](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md) or the [`revalidateTag()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) function.

### `resetRequestCache()`

This method resets the temporary in-memory cache for a single request before the next request.

Returns `void`.

**Good to know:**

* `revalidatePath` is a convenience layer on top of cache tags. Calling `revalidatePath` will call your `revalidateTag` function, which you can then choose if you want to tag cache keys based on the path.

> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

## Usage

Experimental support for inlining CSS in the `<head>`. When this flag is enabled, all places where we normally generate a `<link>` tag will instead have a generated `<style>` tag.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    inlineCss: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    inlineCss: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Trade-Offs

### When to Use Inline CSS

Inlining CSS can be beneficial in several scenarios:

* **First-Time Visitors**: Since CSS files are render-blocking resources, inlining eliminates the initial download delay that first-time visitors experience, improving page load performance.

* **Performance Metrics**: By removing the additional network requests for CSS files, inlining can significantly improve key metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).

* **Slow Connections**: For users on slower networks where each request adds considerable latency, inlining CSS can provide a noticeable performance boost by reducing network roundtrips.

* **Atomic CSS Bundles (e.g., Tailwind)**: With utility-first frameworks like Tailwind CSS, the size of the styles required for a page is often O(1) relative to the complexity of the design. This makes inlining a compelling choice because the entire set of styles for the current page is lightweight and doesn’t grow with the page size. Inlining Tailwind styles ensures minimal payload and eliminates the need for additional network requests, which can further enhance performance.

### When Not to Use Inline CSS

While inlining CSS offers significant benefits for performance, there are scenarios where it may not be the best choice:

* **Large CSS Bundles**: If your CSS bundle is too large, inlining it may significantly increase the size of the HTML, resulting in slower Time to First Byte (TTFB) and potentially worse performance for users with slow connections.

* **Dynamic or Page-Specific CSS**: For applications with highly dynamic styles or pages that use different sets of CSS, inlining may lead to redundancy and bloat, as the full CSS for all pages may need to be inlined repeatedly.

* **Browser Caching**: In cases where visitors frequently return to your site, external CSS files allow browsers to cache styles efficiently, reducing data transfer for subsequent visits. Inlining CSS eliminates this benefit.

Evaluate these trade-offs carefully, and consider combining inlining with other strategies, such as critical CSS extraction or a hybrid approach, for the best results tailored to your site's needs.

> **Good to know**:
>
> This feature is currently experimental and has some known limitations:
>
> * CSS inlining is applied globally and cannot be configured on a per-page basis
> * Styles are duplicated during initial page load - once within `<style>` tags for SSR and once in the RSC payload
> * When navigating to statically rendered pages, styles will use `<link>` tags instead of inline CSS to avoid duplication
> * This feature is not available in development mode and only works in production builds

# Installation
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Create a new Next.js app and run it locally.

## Quick start

1. Create a new Next.js app named `my-app`
2. `cd my-app` and start the dev server.
3. Visit `http://localhost:3000`.

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm create next-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
pnpm dev
```

```bash package="npm"
npx create-next-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
npm run dev
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn create next-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
yarn dev
```

```bash package="bun"
bun create next-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
bun dev
```

* `--yes` skips prompts using saved preferences or defaults. The default setup enables TypeScript, Tailwind, ESLint, App Router, and Turbopack, with import alias `@/*`.

## System requirements

Before you begin, make sure your development environment meets the following requirements:

* Minimum Node.js version: [20.9](https://nodejs.org/)
* Operating systems: macOS, Windows (including WSL), and Linux.

## Supported browsers

Next.js supports modern browsers with zero configuration.

* Chrome 111+
* Edge 111+
* Firefox 111+
* Safari 16.4+

Learn more about [browser support](/docs/architecture/supported-browsers.md), including how to configure polyfills and target specific browsers.

## Create with the CLI

The quickest way to create a new Next.js app is using [`create-next-app`](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app.md), which sets up everything automatically for you. To create a project, run:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest
```

On installation, you'll see the following prompts:

```txt filename="Terminal"
What is your project named? my-app
Would you like to use the recommended Next.js defaults?
    Yes, use recommended defaults - TypeScript, ESLint, Tailwind CSS, App Router, Turbopack
    No, reuse previous settings
    No, customize settings - Choose your own preferences
```

If you choose to `customize settings`, you'll see the following prompts:

```txt filename="Terminal"
Would you like to use TypeScript? No / Yes
Which linter would you like to use? ESLint / Biome / None
Would you like to use React Compiler? No / Yes
Would you like to use Tailwind CSS? No / Yes
Would you like your code inside a `src/` directory? No / Yes
Would you like to use App Router? (recommended) No / Yes
Would you like to customize the import alias (`@/*` by default)? No / Yes
What import alias would you like configured? @/*
```

After the prompts, [`create-next-app`](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app.md) will create a folder with your project name and install the required dependencies.

## Manual installation

To manually create a new Next.js app, install the required packages:

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm i next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

```bash package="npm"
npm i next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

> **Good to know**: The App Router uses [React canary releases](https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries) built-in, which include all the stable React 19 changes, as well as newer features being validated in frameworks. The Pages Router uses the React version you install in `package.json`.

Then, add the following scripts to your `package.json` file:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "lint": "eslint",
    "lint:fix": "eslint --fix"
  }
}
```

These scripts refer to the different stages of developing an application:

* `next dev`: Starts the development server using Turbopack (default bundler).
* `next build`: Builds the application for production.
* `next start`: Starts the production server.
* `eslint`: Runs ESLint.

Turbopack is now the default bundler. To use Webpack run `next dev --webpack` or `next build --webpack`. See the [Turbopack docs](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md) for configuration details.

### Create the `app` directory

Next.js uses file-system routing, which means the routes in your application are determined by how you structure your files.

Create an `app` folder. Then, inside `app`, create a `layout.tsx` file. This file is the [root layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout). It's required and must contain the `<html>` and `<body>` tags.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Create a home page `app/page.tsx` with some initial content:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return <h1>Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return <h1>Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
```

Both `layout.tsx` and `page.tsx` will be rendered when the user visits the root of your application (`/`).

![App Folder Structure](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/app-getting-started.png)

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If you forget to create the root layout, Next.js will automatically create this file when running the development server with `next dev`.
> * You can optionally use a [`src` folder](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/src-folder.md) in the root of your project to separate your application's code from configuration files.

### Create the `public` folder (optional)

Create a [`public` folder](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md) at the root of your project to store static assets such as images, fonts, etc. Files inside `public` can then be referenced by your code starting from the base URL (`/`).

You can then reference these assets using the root path (`/`). For example, `public/profile.png` can be referenced as `/profile.png`:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={4} switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src="/profile.png" alt="Profile" width={100} height={100} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" highlight={4} switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src="/profile.png" alt="Profile" width={100} height={100} />
}
```

## Run the development server

1. Run `npm run dev` to start the development server.
2. Visit `http://localhost:3000` to view your application.
3. Edit the `app/page.tsx` file and save it to see the updated result in your browser.

## Set up TypeScript

> Minimum TypeScript version: `v5.1.0`

Next.js comes with built-in TypeScript support. To add TypeScript to your project, rename a file to `.ts` / `.tsx` and run `next dev`. Next.js will automatically install the necessary dependencies and add a `tsconfig.json` file with the recommended config options.

### IDE Plugin

Next.js includes a custom TypeScript plugin and type checker, which VSCode and other code editors can use for advanced type-checking and auto-completion.

You can enable the plugin in VS Code by:

1. Opening the command palette (`Ctrl/⌘` + `Shift` + `P`)
2. Searching for "TypeScript: Select TypeScript Version"
3. Selecting "Use Workspace Version"

![TypeScript Command Palette](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/typescript-command-palette.png)

See the [TypeScript reference](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/typescript.md) page for more information.

## Set up linting

Next.js supports linting with either ESLint or Biome. Choose a linter and run it directly via `package.json` scripts.

* Use **ESLint** (comprehensive rules):

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint",
    "lint:fix": "eslint --fix"
  }
}
```

* Or use **Biome** (fast linter + formatter):

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "biome check",
    "format": "biome format --write"
  }
}
```

If your project previously used `next lint`, migrate your scripts to the ESLint CLI with the codemod:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli .
```

If you use ESLint, create an explicit config (recommended `eslint.config.mjs`). ESLint supports both [the legacy `.eslintrc.*` and the newer `eslint.config.mjs` formats](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files#configuring-eslint). See the [ESLint API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/config/eslint.md#with-core-web-vitals) for a recommended setup.

> **Good to know**: Starting with Next.js 16, `next build` no longer runs the linter automatically. Instead, you can run your linter through NPM scripts.

See the [ESLint Plugin](/docs/app/api-reference/config/eslint.md) page for more information.

## Set up Absolute Imports and Module Path Aliases

Next.js has in-built support for the `"paths"` and `"baseUrl"` options of `tsconfig.json` and `jsconfig.json` files.

These options allow you to alias project directories to absolute paths, making it easier and cleaner to import modules. For example:

```jsx
// Before
import { Button } from '../../../components/button'

// After
import { Button } from '@/components/button'
```

To configure absolute imports, add the `baseUrl` configuration option to your `tsconfig.json` or `jsconfig.json` file. For example:

```json filename="tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json"
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src/"
  }
}
```

In addition to configuring the `baseUrl` path, you can use the `"paths"` option to `"alias"` module paths.

For example, the following configuration maps `@/components/*` to `components/*`:

```json filename="tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json"
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src/",
    "paths": {
      "@/styles/*": ["styles/*"],
      "@/components/*": ["components/*"]
    }
  }
}
```

Each of the `"paths"` are relative to the `baseUrl` location.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/instrumentation-client.md

# instrumentation-client.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `instrumentation-client.js|ts` file allows you to add monitoring, analytics code, and other side-effects that run before your application becomes interactive. This is useful for setting up performance tracking, error monitoring, polyfills, or any other client-side observability tools.

To use it, place the file in the **root** of your application or inside a `src` folder.

## Usage

Unlike [server-side instrumentation](/docs/app/guides/instrumentation.md), you do not need to export any specific functions. You can write your monitoring code directly in the file:

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
// Set up performance monitoring
performance.mark('app-init')

// Initialize analytics
console.log('Analytics initialized')

// Set up error tracking
window.addEventListener('error', (event) => {
  // Send to your error tracking service
  reportError(event.error)
})
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
// Set up performance monitoring
performance.mark('app-init')

// Initialize analytics
console.log('Analytics initialized')

// Set up error tracking
window.addEventListener('error', (event) => {
  // Send to your error tracking service
  reportError(event.error)
})
```

**Error handling:** Implement try-catch blocks around your instrumentation code to ensure robust monitoring. This prevents individual tracking failures from affecting other instrumentation features.

## Router navigation tracking

You can export an `onRouterTransitionStart` function to receive notifications when navigation begins:

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
performance.mark('app-init')

export function onRouterTransitionStart(
  url: string,
  navigationType: 'push' | 'replace' | 'traverse'
) {
  console.log(`Navigation started: ${navigationType} to ${url}`)
  performance.mark(`nav-start-${Date.now()}`)
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
performance.mark('app-init')

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url, navigationType) {
  console.log(`Navigation started: ${navigationType} to ${url}`)
  performance.mark(`nav-start-${Date.now()}`)
}
```

The `onRouterTransitionStart` function receives two parameters:

* `url: string` - The URL being navigated to
* `navigationType: 'push' | 'replace' | 'traverse'` - The type of navigation

## Performance considerations

Keep instrumentation code lightweight.

Next.js monitors initialization time in development and will log warnings if it takes longer than 16ms, which could impact smooth page loading.

## Execution timing

The `instrumentation-client.js` file executes at a specific point in the application lifecycle:

1. **After** the HTML document is loaded
2. **Before** React hydration begins
3. **Before** user interactions are possible

This timing makes it ideal for setting up error tracking, analytics, and performance monitoring that needs to capture early application lifecycle events.

## Examples

### Error tracking

Initialize error tracking before React starts and add navigation breadcrumbs for better debugging context.

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
import Monitor from './lib/monitoring'

Monitor.initialize()

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url: string) {
  Monitor.pushEvent({
    message: `Navigation to ${url}`,
    category: 'navigation',
  })
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
import Monitor from './lib/monitoring'

Monitor.initialize()

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url) {
  Monitor.pushEvent({
    message: `Navigation to ${url}`,
    category: 'navigation',
  })
}
```

### Analytics tracking

Initialize analytics and track navigation events with detailed metadata for user behavior analysis.

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
import { analytics } from './lib/analytics'

analytics.init()

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url: string, navigationType: string) {
  analytics.track('page_navigation', {
    url,
    type: navigationType,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  })
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
import { analytics } from './lib/analytics'

analytics.init()

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url, navigationType) {
  analytics.track('page_navigation', {
    url,
    type: navigationType,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  })
}
```

### Performance monitoring

Track Time to Interactive and navigation performance using the Performance Observer API and performance marks.

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
const startTime = performance.now()

const observer = new PerformanceObserver(
  (list: PerformanceObserverEntryList) => {
    for (const entry of list.getEntries()) {
      if (entry instanceof PerformanceNavigationTiming) {
        console.log('Time to Interactive:', entry.loadEventEnd - startTime)
      }
    }
  }
)

observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['navigation'] })

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url: string) {
  performance.mark(`nav-start-${url}`)
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
const startTime = performance.now()

const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
  for (const entry of list.getEntries()) {
    if (entry instanceof PerformanceNavigationTiming) {
      console.log('Time to Interactive:', entry.loadEventEnd - startTime)
    }
  }
})

observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['navigation'] })

export function onRouterTransitionStart(url) {
  performance.mark(`nav-start-${url}`)
}
```

### Polyfills

Load polyfills before application code runs. Use static imports for immediate loading and dynamic imports for conditional loading based on feature detection.

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts" switcher
import './lib/polyfills'

if (!window.ResizeObserver) {
  import('./lib/polyfills/resize-observer').then((mod) => {
    window.ResizeObserver = mod.default
  })
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation-client.js" switcher
import './lib/polyfills'

if (!window.ResizeObserver) {
  import('./lib/polyfills/resize-observer').then((mod) => {
    window.ResizeObserver = mod.default
  })
}
```

# How to set up instrumentation
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Instrumentation is the process of using code to integrate monitoring and logging tools into your application. This allows you to track the performance and behavior of your application, and to debug issues in production.

## Convention

To set up instrumentation, create `instrumentation.ts|js` file in the **root directory** of your project (or inside the [`src`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/src-folder.md) folder if using one).

Then, export a `register` function in the file. This function will be called **once** when a new Next.js server instance is initiated.

For example, to use Next.js with [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) and [@vercel/otel](https://vercel.com/docs/observability/otel-overview):

```ts filename="instrumentation.ts" switcher
import { registerOTel } from '@vercel/otel'

export function register() {
  registerOTel('next-app')
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation.js" switcher
import { registerOTel } from '@vercel/otel'

export function register() {
  registerOTel('next-app')
}
```

See the [Next.js with OpenTelemetry example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-opentelemetry) for a complete implementation.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `instrumentation` file should be in the root of your project and not inside the `app` or `pages` directory. If you're using the `src` folder, then place the file inside `src` alongside `pages` and `app`.
> * If you use the [`pageExtensions` config option](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/pageExtensions.md) to add a suffix, you will also need to update the `instrumentation` filename to match.

## Examples

### Importing files with side effects

Sometimes, it may be useful to import a file in your code because of the side effects it will cause. For example, you might import a file that defines a set of global variables, but never explicitly use the imported file in your code. You would still have access to the global variables the package has declared.

We recommend importing files using JavaScript `import` syntax within your `register` function. The following example demonstrates a basic usage of `import` in a `register` function:

```ts filename="instrumentation.ts" switcher
export async function register() {
  await import('package-with-side-effect')
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation.js" switcher
export async function register() {
  await import('package-with-side-effect')
}
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> We recommend importing the file from within the `register` function, rather than at the top of the file. By doing this, you can colocate all of your side effects in one place in your code, and avoid any unintended consequences from importing globally at the top of the file.

### Importing runtime-specific code

Next.js calls `register` in all environments, so it's important to conditionally import any code that doesn't support specific runtimes (e.g. [Edge or Node.js](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md)). You can use the `NEXT_RUNTIME` environment variable to get the current environment:

```ts filename="instrumentation.ts" switcher
export async function register() {
  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
    await import('./instrumentation-node')
  }

  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'edge') {
    await import('./instrumentation-edge')
  }
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation.js" switcher
export async function register() {
  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
    await import('./instrumentation-node')
  }

  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'edge') {
    await import('./instrumentation-edge')
  }
}
```

# Intercepting Routes
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Intercepting routes allows you to load a route from another part of your application within the current layout. This routing paradigm can be useful when you want to display the content of a route without the user switching to a different context.

For example, when clicking on a photo in a feed, you can display the photo in a modal, overlaying the feed. In this case, Next.js intercepts the `/photo/123` route, masks the URL, and overlays it over `/feed`.

![Intercepting routes soft navigation](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/intercepting-routes-soft-navigate.png)

However, when navigating to the photo by clicking a shareable URL or by refreshing the page, the entire photo page should render instead of the modal. No route interception should occur.

![Intercepting routes hard navigation](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/intercepting-routes-hard-navigate.png)

## Convention

Intercepting routes can be defined with the `(..)` convention, which is similar to relative path convention `../` but for route segments.

You can use:

* `(.)` to match segments on the **same level**
* `(..)` to match segments **one level above**
* `(..)(..)` to match segments **two levels above**
* `(...)` to match segments from the **root** `app` directory

For example, you can intercept the `photo` segment from within the `feed` segment by creating a `(..)photo` directory.

![Intercepting routes folder structure](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/intercepted-routes-files.png)

> **Good to know:** The `(..)` convention is based on *route segments*, not the file-system. For example, it does not consider `@slot` folders in [Parallel Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md).

## Examples

### Modals

Intercepting Routes can be used together with [Parallel Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md) to create modals. This allows you to solve common challenges when building modals, such as:

* Making the modal content **shareable through a URL**.
* **Preserving context** when the page is refreshed, instead of closing the modal.
* **Closing the modal on backwards navigation** rather than going to the previous route.
* **Reopening the modal on forwards navigation**.

Consider the following UI pattern, where a user can open a photo modal from a gallery using client-side navigation, or navigate to the photo page directly from a shareable URL:

![Intercepting routes modal example](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/intercepted-routes-modal-example.png)

In the above example, the path to the `photo` segment can use the `(..)` matcher since `@modal` is a slot and **not** a segment. This means that the `photo` route is only one segment level higher, despite being two file-system levels higher.

See the [Parallel Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md#modals) documentation for a step-by-step example, or see our [image gallery example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/nextgram).

> **Good to know:**
>
> * Other examples could include opening a login modal in a top navbar while also having a dedicated `/login` page, or opening a shopping cart in a side modal.

# Internationalization
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js enables you to configure the routing and rendering of content to support multiple languages. Making your site adaptive to different locales includes translated content (localization) and internationalized routes.

## Terminology

* **Locale:** An identifier for a set of language and formatting preferences. This usually includes the preferred language of the user and possibly their geographic region.
  * `en-US`: English as spoken in the United States
  * `nl-NL`: Dutch as spoken in the Netherlands
  * `nl`: Dutch, no specific region

## Routing Overview

It’s recommended to use the user’s language preferences in the browser to select which locale to use. Changing your preferred language will modify the incoming `Accept-Language` header to your application.

For example, using the following libraries, you can look at an incoming `Request` to determine which locale to select, based on the `Headers`, locales you plan to support, and the default locale.

```js filename="proxy.js"
import { match } from '@formatjs/intl-localematcher'
import Negotiator from 'negotiator'

let headers = { 'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.5' }
let languages = new Negotiator({ headers }).languages()
let locales = ['en-US', 'nl-NL', 'nl']
let defaultLocale = 'en-US'

match(languages, locales, defaultLocale) // -> 'en-US'
```

Routing can be internationalized by either the sub-path (`/fr/products`) or domain (`my-site.fr/products`). With this information, you can now redirect the user based on the locale inside [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md).

```js filename="proxy.js"
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

let locales = ['en-US', 'nl-NL', 'nl']

// Get the preferred locale, similar to the above or using a library
function getLocale(request) { ... }

export function proxy(request) {
  // Check if there is any supported locale in the pathname
  const { pathname } = request.nextUrl
  const pathnameHasLocale = locales.some(
    (locale) => pathname.startsWith(`/${locale}/`) || pathname === `/${locale}`
  )

  if (pathnameHasLocale) return

  // Redirect if there is no locale
  const locale = getLocale(request)
  request.nextUrl.pathname = `/${locale}${pathname}`
  // e.g. incoming request is /products
  // The new URL is now /en-US/products
  return NextResponse.redirect(request.nextUrl)
}

export const config = {
  matcher: [
    // Skip all internal paths (_next)
    '/((?!_next).*)',
    // Optional: only run on root (/) URL
    // '/'
  ],
}
```

Finally, ensure all special files inside `app/` are nested under `app/[lang]`. This enables the Next.js router to dynamically handle different locales in the route, and forward the `lang` parameter to every layout and page. For example:

```tsx filename="app/[lang]/page.tsx" switcher
// You now have access to the current locale
// e.g. /en-US/products -> `lang` is "en-US"
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ lang: string }>
}) {
  const { lang } = await params
  return ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[lang]/page.js" switcher
// You now have access to the current locale
// e.g. /en-US/products -> `lang` is "en-US"
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { lang } = await params
  return ...
}
```

The root layout can also be nested in the new folder (e.g. `app/[lang]/layout.js`).

## Localization

Changing displayed content based on the user’s preferred locale, or localization, is not something specific to Next.js. The patterns described below would work the same with any web application.

Let’s assume we want to support both English and Dutch content inside our application. We might maintain two different “dictionaries”, which are objects that give us a mapping from some key to a localized string. For example:

```json filename="dictionaries/en.json"
{
  "products": {
    "cart": "Add to Cart"
  }
}
```

```json filename="dictionaries/nl.json"
{
  "products": {
    "cart": "Toevoegen aan Winkelwagen"
  }
}
```

We can then create a `getDictionary` function to load the translations for the requested locale:

```ts filename="app/[lang]/dictionaries.ts" switcher
import 'server-only'

const dictionaries = {
  en: () => import('./dictionaries/en.json').then((module) => module.default),
  nl: () => import('./dictionaries/nl.json').then((module) => module.default),
}

export const getDictionary = async (locale: 'en' | 'nl') =>
  dictionaries[locale]()
```

```js filename="app/[lang]/dictionaries.js" switcher
import 'server-only'

const dictionaries = {
  en: () => import('./dictionaries/en.json').then((module) => module.default),
  nl: () => import('./dictionaries/nl.json').then((module) => module.default),
}

export const getDictionary = async (locale) => dictionaries[locale]()
```

Given the currently selected language, we can fetch the dictionary inside of a layout or page.

```tsx filename="app/[lang]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getDictionary } from './dictionaries'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ lang: 'en' | 'nl' }>
}) {
  const { lang } = await params
  const dict = await getDictionary(lang) // en
  return <button>{dict.products.cart}</button> // Add to Cart
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[lang]/page.js" switcher
import { getDictionary } from './dictionaries'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { lang } = await params
  const dict = await getDictionary(lang) // en
  return <button>{dict.products.cart}</button> // Add to Cart
}
```

Because all layouts and pages in the `app/` directory default to [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), we do not need to worry about the size of the translation files affecting our client-side JavaScript bundle size. This code will **only run on the server**, and only the resulting HTML will be sent to the browser.

## Static Rendering

To generate static routes for a given set of locales, we can use `generateStaticParams` with any page or layout. This can be global, for example, in the root layout:

```tsx filename="app/[lang]/layout.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ lang: 'en-US' }, { lang: 'de' }]
}

export default async function RootLayout({
  children,
  params,
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
  params: Promise<{ lang: 'en-US' | 'de' }>
}>) {
  return (
    <html lang={(await params).lang}>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[lang]/layout.js" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ lang: 'en-US' }, { lang: 'de' }]
}

export default async function RootLayout({ children, params }) {
  return (
    <html lang={(await params).lang}>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

# isolatedDevBuild
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The experimental `isolatedDevBuild` option separates development and production build outputs into different directories. When enabled, the development server (`next dev`) writes its output to `.next/dev` instead of `.next`, preventing conflicts when running `next dev` and `next build` concurrently.

This is especially helpful when automated tools (for example, AI agents) run `next build` to validate changes while your development server is running, ensuring the dev server is not affected by changes made by the build process.

This feature is **enabled by default** to keep development and production outputs separate and prevent conflicts.

## Configuration

To opt out of this feature, set `isolatedDevBuild` to `false` in your configuration:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    isolatedDevBuild: false, // defaults to true
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.mjs" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    isolatedDevBuild: false, // defaults to true
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

# How to set up Jest with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Jest and React Testing Library are frequently used together for **Unit Testing** and **Snapshot Testing**. This guide will show you how to set up Jest with Next.js and write your first tests.

> **Good to know:** Since `async` Server Components are new to the React ecosystem, Jest currently does not support them. While you can still run **unit tests** for synchronous Server and Client Components, we recommend using an **E2E tests** for `async` components.

## Quickstart

You can use `create-next-app` with the Next.js [with-jest](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-jest) example to quickly get started:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example with-jest with-jest-app
```

## Manual setup

Since the release of [Next.js 12](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12), Next.js now has built-in configuration for Jest.

To set up Jest, install `jest` and the following packages as dev dependencies:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -D jest jest-environment-jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom @testing-library/jest-dom ts-node @types/jest
# or
yarn add -D jest jest-environment-jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom @testing-library/jest-dom ts-node @types/jest
# or
pnpm install -D jest jest-environment-jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom @testing-library/jest-dom ts-node @types/jest
```

Generate a basic Jest configuration file by running the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm init jest@latest
# or
yarn create jest@latest
# or
pnpm create jest@latest
```

This will take you through a series of prompts to setup Jest for your project, including automatically creating a `jest.config.ts|js` file.

Update your config file to use `next/jest`. This transformer has all the necessary configuration options for Jest to work with Next.js:

```ts filename="jest.config.ts" switcher
import type { Config } from 'jest'
import nextJest from 'next/jest.js'

const createJestConfig = nextJest({
  // Provide the path to your Next.js app to load next.config.js and .env files in your test environment
  dir: './',
})

// Add any custom config to be passed to Jest
const config: Config = {
  coverageProvider: 'v8',
  testEnvironment: 'jsdom',
  // Add more setup options before each test is run
  // setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.ts'],
}

// createJestConfig is exported this way to ensure that next/jest can load the Next.js config which is async
export default createJestConfig(config)
```

```js filename="jest.config.js" switcher
const nextJest = require('next/jest')

/** @type {import('jest').Config} */
const createJestConfig = nextJest({
  // Provide the path to your Next.js app to load next.config.js and .env files in your test environment
  dir: './',
})

// Add any custom config to be passed to Jest
const config = {
  coverageProvider: 'v8',
  testEnvironment: 'jsdom',
  // Add more setup options before each test is run
  // setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.ts'],
}

// createJestConfig is exported this way to ensure that next/jest can load the Next.js config which is async
module.exports = createJestConfig(config)
```

Under the hood, `next/jest` is automatically configuring Jest for you, including:

* Setting up `transform` using the [Next.js Compiler](/docs/architecture/nextjs-compiler.md).
* Auto mocking stylesheets (`.css`, `.module.css`, and their scss variants), image imports and [`next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md).
* Loading `.env` (and all variants) into `process.env`.
* Ignoring `node_modules` from test resolving and transforms.
* Ignoring `.next` from test resolving.
* Loading `next.config.js` for flags that enable SWC transforms.

> **Good to know**: To test environment variables directly, load them manually in a separate setup script or in your `jest.config.ts` file. For more information, please see [Test Environment Variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md#test-environment-variables).

## Optional: Handling Absolute Imports and Module Path Aliases

If your project is using [Module Path Aliases](/docs/app/getting-started/installation.md#set-up-absolute-imports-and-module-path-aliases), you will need to configure Jest to resolve the imports by matching the paths option in the `jsconfig.json` file with the `moduleNameMapper` option in the `jest.config.js` file. For example:

```json filename="tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json"
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@/components/*": ["components/*"]
    }
  }
}
```

```js filename="jest.config.js"
moduleNameMapper: {
  // ...
  '^@/components/(.*)$': '<rootDir>/components/$1',
}
```

## Optional: Extend Jest with custom matchers

`@testing-library/jest-dom` includes a set of convenient [custom matchers](https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom#custom-matchers) such as `.toBeInTheDocument()` making it easier to write tests. You can import the custom matchers for every test by adding the following option to the Jest configuration file:

```ts filename="jest.config.ts" switcher
setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.ts']
```

```js filename="jest.config.js" switcher
setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.js']
```

Then, inside `jest.setup`, add the following import:

```ts filename="jest.setup.ts" switcher
import '@testing-library/jest-dom'
```

```js filename="jest.setup.js" switcher
import '@testing-library/jest-dom'
```

> **Good to know:** [`extend-expect` was removed in `v6.0`](https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom/releases/tag/v6.0.0), so if you are using `@testing-library/jest-dom` before version 6, you will need to import `@testing-library/jest-dom/extend-expect` instead.

If you need to add more setup options before each test, you can add them to the `jest.setup` file above.

## Add a test script to `package.json`

Finally, add a Jest `test` script to your `package.json` file:

```json filename="package.json" highlight={6-7}
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "test": "jest",
    "test:watch": "jest --watch"
  }
}
```

`jest --watch` will re-run tests when a file is changed. For more Jest CLI options, please refer to the [Jest Docs](https://jestjs.io/docs/cli#reference).

### Creating your first test

Your project is now ready to run tests. Create a folder called `__tests__` in your project's root directory.

For example, we can add a test to check if the `<Page />` component successfully renders a heading:

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="__tests__/page.test.jsx"
import '@testing-library/jest-dom'
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import Page from '../app/page'

describe('Page', () => {
  it('renders a heading', () => {
    render(<Page />)

    const heading = screen.getByRole('heading', { level: 1 })

    expect(heading).toBeInTheDocument()
  })
})
```

Optionally, add a [snapshot test](https://jestjs.io/docs/snapshot-testing) to keep track of any unexpected changes in your component:

```jsx filename="__tests__/snapshot.js"
import { render } from '@testing-library/react'
import Page from '../app/page'

it('renders homepage unchanged', () => {
  const { container } = render(<Page />)
  expect(container).toMatchSnapshot()
})
```

## Running your tests

Then, run the following command to run your tests:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm run test
# or
yarn test
# or
pnpm test
```

# How to implement JSON-LD in your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[JSON-LD](https://json-ld.org/) is a format for structured data that can be used by search engines and AI to help them understand the structure of the page beyond pure content. For example, you can use it to describe a person, an event, an organization, a movie, a book, a recipe, and many other types of entities.

Our current recommendation for JSON-LD is to render structured data as a `<script>` tag in your `layout.js` or `page.js` components.

The following snippet uses `JSON.stringify`, which does not sanitize malicious strings used in XSS injection. To prevent this type of vulnerability, you can scrub `HTML` tags from the `JSON-LD` payload, for example, by replacing the character, `<`, with its unicode equivalent, `\u003c`.

Review your organization's recommended approach to sanitize potentially dangerous strings, or use community maintained alternatives for `JSON.stringify` such as, [serialize-javascript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialize-javascript).

```tsx filename="app/products/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const product = await getProduct(id)

  const jsonLd = {
    '@context': 'https://schema.org',
    '@type': 'Product',
    name: product.name,
    image: product.image,
    description: product.description,
  }

  return (
    <section>
      {/* Add JSON-LD to your page */}
      <script
        type="application/ld+json"
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
          __html: JSON.stringify(jsonLd).replace(/</g, '\\u003c'),
        }}
      />
      {/* ... */}
    </section>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/products/[id]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const product = await getProduct(id)

  const jsonLd = {
    '@context': 'https://schema.org',
    '@type': 'Product',
    name: product.name,
    image: product.image,
    description: product.description,
  }

  return (
    <section>
      {/* Add JSON-LD to your page */}
      <script
        type="application/ld+json"
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
          __html: JSON.stringify(jsonLd).replace(/</g, '\\u003c'),
        }}
      />
      {/* ... */}
    </section>
  )
}
```

You can validate and test your structured data with the [Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) for Google or the generic [Schema Markup Validator](https://validator.schema.org/).

You can type your JSON-LD with TypeScript using community packages like [`schema-dts`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/schema-dts):

```tsx
import { Product, WithContext } from 'schema-dts'

const jsonLd: WithContext<Product> = {
  '@context': 'https://schema.org',
  '@type': 'Product',
  name: 'Next.js Sticker',
  image: 'https://nextjs.org/imgs/sticker.png',
  description: 'Dynamic at the speed of static.',
}
```

# How to lazy load Client Components and libraries
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[Lazy loading](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Performance/Lazy_loading) in Next.js helps improve the initial loading performance of an application by decreasing the amount of JavaScript needed to render a route.

It allows you to defer loading of **Client Components** and imported libraries, and only include them in the client bundle when they're needed. For example, you might want to defer loading a modal until a user clicks to open it.

There are two ways you can implement lazy loading in Next.js:

1. Using [Dynamic Imports](#nextdynamic) with `next/dynamic`
2. Using [`React.lazy()`](https://react.dev/reference/react/lazy) with [Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense)

By default, Server Components are automatically [code split](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Code_splitting), and you can use [streaming](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) to progressively send pieces of UI from the server to the client. Lazy loading applies to Client Components.

## `next/dynamic`

`next/dynamic` is a composite of [`React.lazy()`](https://react.dev/reference/react/lazy) and [Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense). It behaves the same way in the `app` and `pages` directories to allow for incremental migration.

## Examples

### Importing Client Components

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

// Client Components:
const ComponentA = dynamic(() => import('../components/A'))
const ComponentB = dynamic(() => import('../components/B'))
const ComponentC = dynamic(() => import('../components/C'), { ssr: false })

export default function ClientComponentExample() {
  const [showMore, setShowMore] = useState(false)

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Load immediately, but in a separate client bundle */}
      <ComponentA />

      {/* Load on demand, only when/if the condition is met */}
      {showMore && <ComponentB />}
      <button onClick={() => setShowMore(!showMore)}>Toggle</button>

      {/* Load only on the client side */}
      <ComponentC />
    </div>
  )
}
```

> **Note:** When a Server Component dynamically imports a Client Component, automatic [code splitting](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Code_splitting) is currently **not** supported.

### Skipping SSR

When using `React.lazy()` and Suspense, Client Components will be [prerendered](https://github.com/reactwg/server-components/discussions/4) (SSR) by default.

> **Note:** `ssr: false` option will only work for Client Components, move it into Client Components ensure the client code-splitting working properly.

If you want to disable pre-rendering for a Client Component, you can use the `ssr` option set to `false`:

```jsx
const ComponentC = dynamic(() => import('../components/C'), { ssr: false })
```

### Importing Server Components

If you dynamically import a Server Component, only the Client Components that are children of the Server Component will be lazy-loaded - not the Server Component itself.
It will also help preload the static assets such as CSS when you're using it in Server Components.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

// Server Component:
const ServerComponent = dynamic(() => import('../components/ServerComponent'))

export default function ServerComponentExample() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ServerComponent />
    </div>
  )
}
```

> **Note:** `ssr: false` option is not supported in Server Components. You will see an error if you try to use it in Server Components.
> `ssr: false` is not allowed with `next/dynamic` in Server Components. Please move it into a Client Component.

### Loading External Libraries

External libraries can be loaded on demand using the [`import()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import) function. This example uses the external library `fuse.js` for fuzzy search. The module is only loaded on the client after the user types in the search input.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

const names = ['Tim', 'Joe', 'Bel', 'Lee']

export default function Page() {
  const [results, setResults] = useState()

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="text"
        placeholder="Search"
        onChange={async (e) => {
          const { value } = e.currentTarget
          // Dynamically load fuse.js
          const Fuse = (await import('fuse.js')).default
          const fuse = new Fuse(names)

          setResults(fuse.search(value))
        }}
      />
      <pre>Results: {JSON.stringify(results, null, 2)}</pre>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Adding a custom loading component

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
'use client'

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const WithCustomLoading = dynamic(
  () => import('../components/WithCustomLoading'),
  {
    loading: () => <p>Loading...</p>,
  }
)

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* The loading component will be rendered while  <WithCustomLoading/> is loading */}
      <WithCustomLoading />
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Importing Named Exports

To dynamically import a named export, you can return it from the Promise returned by [`import()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import) function:

```jsx filename="components/hello.js"
'use client'

export function Hello() {
  return <p>Hello!</p>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const ClientComponent = dynamic(() =>
  import('../components/hello').then((mod) => mod.Hello)
)
```

# Link Component
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`<Link>` is a React component that extends the HTML `<a>` element to provide [prefetching](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) and client-side navigation between routes. It is the primary way to navigate between routes in Next.js.

Basic usage:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return <Link href="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
}
```

## Reference

The following props can be passed to the `<Link>` component:

| Prop                        | Example                  | Type             | Required |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------- | -------- |
| [`href`](#href-required)    | `href="/dashboard"`      | String or Object | Yes      |
| [`replace`](#replace)       | `replace={false}`        | Boolean          | -        |
| [`scroll`](#scroll)         | `scroll={false}`         | Boolean          | -        |
| [`prefetch`](#prefetch)     | `prefetch={false}`       | Boolean or null  | -        |
| [`onNavigate`](#onnavigate) | `onNavigate={(e) => {}}` | Function         | -        |

> **Good to know**: `<a>` tag attributes such as `className` or `target="_blank"` can be added to `<Link>` as props and will be passed to the underlying `<a>` element.

### `href` (required)

The path or URL to navigate to.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

// Navigate to /about?name=test
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link
      href={{
        pathname: '/about',
        query: { name: 'test' },
      }}
    >
      About
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

// Navigate to /about?name=test
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link
      href={{
        pathname: '/about',
        query: { name: 'test' },
      }}
    >
      About
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### `replace`

**Defaults to `false`.** When `true`, `next/link` will replace the current history state instead of adding a new URL into the [browser's history](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/History_API) stack.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" replace>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" replace>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### `scroll`

**Defaults to `true`.** The default scrolling behavior of `<Link>` in Next.js **is to maintain scroll position**, similar to how browsers handle back and forwards navigation. When you navigate to a new [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md), scroll position will stay the same as long as the Page is visible in the viewport. However, if the Page is not visible in the viewport, Next.js will scroll to the top of the first Page element.

When `scroll = {false}`, Next.js will not attempt to scroll to the first Page element.

> **Good to know**: Next.js checks if `scroll: false` before managing scroll behavior. If scrolling is enabled, it identifies the relevant DOM node for navigation and inspects each top-level element. All non-scrollable elements and those without rendered HTML are bypassed, this includes sticky or fixed positioned elements, and non-visible elements such as those calculated with `getBoundingClientRect`. Next.js then continues through siblings until it identifies a scrollable element that is visible in the viewport.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" scroll={false}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" scroll={false}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### `prefetch`

Prefetching happens when a `<Link />` component enters the user's viewport (initially or through scroll). Next.js prefetches and loads the linked route (denoted by the `href`) and its data in the background to improve the performance of client-side navigations. If the prefetched data has expired by the time the user hovers over a `<Link />`, Next.js will attempt to prefetch it again. **Prefetching is only enabled in production**.

The following values can be passed to the `prefetch` prop:

* **`"auto"` or `null` (default)**: Prefetch behavior depends on whether the route is static or dynamic. For static routes, the full route will be prefetched (including all its data). For dynamic routes, the partial route down to the nearest segment with a [`loading.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md#instant-loading-states) boundary will be prefetched.
* `true`: The full route will be prefetched for both static and dynamic routes.
* `false`: Prefetching will never happen both on entering the viewport and on hover.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" prefetch={false}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/dashboard" prefetch={false}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### `onNavigate`

An event handler called during client-side navigation. The handler receives an event object that includes a `preventDefault()` method, allowing you to cancel the navigation if needed.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link
      href="/dashboard"
      onNavigate={(e) => {
        // Only executes during SPA navigation
        console.log('Navigating...')

        // Optionally prevent navigation
        // e.preventDefault()
      }}
    >
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link
      href="/dashboard"
      onNavigate={(e) => {
        // Only executes during SPA navigation
        console.log('Navigating...')

        // Optionally prevent navigation
        // e.preventDefault()
      }}
    >
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: While `onClick` and `onNavigate` may seem similar, they serve different purposes. `onClick` executes for all click events, while `onNavigate` only runs during client-side navigation. Some key differences:
>
> * When using modifier keys (`Ctrl`/`Cmd` + Click), `onClick` executes but `onNavigate` doesn't since Next.js prevents default navigation for new tabs.
> * External URLs won't trigger `onNavigate` since it's only for client-side and same-origin navigations.
> * Links with the `download` attribute will work with `onClick` but not `onNavigate` since the browser will treat the linked URL as a download.

## Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to use the `<Link>` component in different scenarios.

### Linking to dynamic route segments

When linking to [dynamic segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md), you can use [template literals and interpolation](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) to generate a list of links. For example, to generate a list of blog posts:

```tsx filename="app/blog/post-list.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

interface Post {
  id: number
  title: string
  slug: string
}

export default function PostList({ posts }: { posts: Post[] }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>
          <Link href={`/blog/${post.slug}`}>{post.title}</Link>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/post-list.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function PostList({ posts }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li key={post.id}>
          <Link href={`/blog/${post.slug}`}>{post.title}</Link>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

### Checking active links

You can use [`usePathname()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md) to determine if a link is active. For example, to add a class to the active link, you can check if the current `pathname` matches the `href` of the link:

```tsx filename="app/ui/nav-links.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'
import Link from 'next/link'

export function Links() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  return (
    <nav>
      <Link className={`link ${pathname === '/' ? 'active' : ''}`} href="/">
        Home
      </Link>

      <Link
        className={`link ${pathname === '/about' ? 'active' : ''}`}
        href="/about"
      >
        About
      </Link>
    </nav>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/nav-links.js" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'
import Link from 'next/link'

export function Links() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  return (
    <nav>
      <Link className={`link ${pathname === '/' ? 'active' : ''}`} href="/">
        Home
      </Link>

      <Link
        className={`link ${pathname === '/about' ? 'active' : ''}`}
        href="/about"
      >
        About
      </Link>
    </nav>
  )
}
```

### Scrolling to an `id`

If you'd like to scroll to a specific `id` on navigation, you can append your URL with a `#` hash link or just pass a hash link to the `href` prop. This is possible since `<Link>` renders to an `<a>` element.

```jsx
<Link href="/dashboard#settings">Settings</Link>

// Output
<a href="/dashboard#settings">Settings</a>
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Next.js will scroll to the [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) if it is not visible in the viewport upon navigation.

### Replace the URL instead of push

The default behavior of the `Link` component is to `push` a new URL into the `history` stack. You can use the `replace` prop to prevent adding a new entry, as in the following example:

```tsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/about" replace>
      About us
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/about" replace>
      About us
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### Disable scrolling to the top of the page

The default scrolling behavior of `<Link>` in Next.js **is to maintain scroll position**, similar to how browsers handle back and forwards navigation. When you navigate to a new [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md), scroll position will stay the same as long as the Page is visible in the viewport.

However, if the Page is not visible in the viewport, Next.js will scroll to the top of the first Page element. If you'd like to disable this behavior, you can pass `scroll={false}` to the `<Link>` component, or `scroll: false` to `router.push()` or `router.replace()`.

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/#hashid" scroll={false}>
      Disables scrolling to the top
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Link href="/#hashid" scroll={false}>
      Disables scrolling to the top
    </Link>
  )
}
```

Using `router.push()` or `router.replace()`:

```jsx
// useRouter
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

const router = useRouter()

router.push('/dashboard', { scroll: false })
```

### Prefetching links in Proxy

It's common to use [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) for authentication or other purposes that involve rewriting the user to a different page. In order for the `<Link />` component to properly prefetch links with rewrites via Proxy, you need to tell Next.js both the URL to display and the URL to prefetch. This is required to avoid un-necessary fetches to proxy to know the correct route to prefetch.

For example, if you want to serve a `/dashboard` route that has authenticated and visitor views, you can add the following in your Proxy to redirect the user to the correct page:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request: Request) {
  const nextUrl = request.nextUrl
  if (nextUrl.pathname === '/dashboard') {
    if (request.cookies.authToken) {
      return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/auth/dashboard', request.url))
    } else {
      return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/public/dashboard', request.url))
    }
  }
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export function proxy(request) {
  const nextUrl = request.nextUrl
  if (nextUrl.pathname === '/dashboard') {
    if (request.cookies.authToken) {
      return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/auth/dashboard', request.url))
    } else {
      return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/public/dashboard', request.url))
    }
  }
}
```

In this case, you would want to use the following code in your `<Link />` component:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import useIsAuthed from './hooks/useIsAuthed' // Your auth hook

export default function Page() {
  const isAuthed = useIsAuthed()
  const path = isAuthed ? '/auth/dashboard' : '/public/dashboard'
  return (
    <Link as="/dashboard" href={path}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```js filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import useIsAuthed from './hooks/useIsAuthed' // Your auth hook

export default function Page() {
  const isAuthed = useIsAuthed()
  const path = isAuthed ? '/auth/dashboard' : '/public/dashboard'
  return (
    <Link as="/dashboard" href={path}>
      Dashboard
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### Blocking navigation

You can use the `onNavigate` prop to block navigation when certain conditions are met, such as when a form has unsaved changes. When you need to block navigation across multiple components in your app (like preventing navigation from any link while a form is being edited), React Context provides a clean way to share this blocking state. First, create a context to track the navigation blocking state:

```tsx filename="app/contexts/navigation-blocker.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { createContext, useState, useContext } from 'react'

interface NavigationBlockerContextType {
  isBlocked: boolean
  setIsBlocked: (isBlocked: boolean) => void
}

export const NavigationBlockerContext =
  createContext<NavigationBlockerContextType>({
    isBlocked: false,
    setIsBlocked: () => {},
  })

export function NavigationBlockerProvider({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const [isBlocked, setIsBlocked] = useState(false)

  return (
    <NavigationBlockerContext.Provider value={{ isBlocked, setIsBlocked }}>
      {children}
    </NavigationBlockerContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useNavigationBlocker() {
  return useContext(NavigationBlockerContext)
}
```

```jsx filename="app/contexts/navigation-blocker.js" switcher
'use client'

import { createContext, useState, useContext } from 'react'

export const NavigationBlockerContext = createContext({
  isBlocked: false,
  setIsBlocked: () => {},
})

export function NavigationBlockerProvider({ children }) {
  const [isBlocked, setIsBlocked] = useState(false)

  return (
    <NavigationBlockerContext.Provider value={{ isBlocked, setIsBlocked }}>
      {children}
    </NavigationBlockerContext.Provider>
  )
}

export function useNavigationBlocker() {
  return useContext(NavigationBlockerContext)
}
```

Create a form component that uses the context:

```tsx filename="app/components/form.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useNavigationBlocker } from '../contexts/navigation-blocker'

export default function Form() {
  const { setIsBlocked } = useNavigationBlocker()

  return (
    <form
      onSubmit={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault()
        setIsBlocked(false)
      }}
      onChange={() => setIsBlocked(true)}
    >
      <input type="text" name="name" />
      <button type="submit">Save</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/form.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useNavigationBlocker } from '../contexts/navigation-blocker'

export default function Form() {
  const { setIsBlocked } = useNavigationBlocker()

  return (
    <form
      onSubmit={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault()
        setIsBlocked(false)
      }}
      onChange={() => setIsBlocked(true)}
    >
      <input type="text" name="name" />
      <button type="submit">Save</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

Create a custom Link component that blocks navigation:

```tsx filename="app/components/custom-link.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useNavigationBlocker } from '../contexts/navigation-blocker'

interface CustomLinkProps extends React.ComponentProps<typeof Link> {
  children: React.ReactNode
}

export function CustomLink({ children, ...props }: CustomLinkProps) {
  const { isBlocked } = useNavigationBlocker()

  return (
    <Link
      onNavigate={(e) => {
        if (
          isBlocked &&
          !window.confirm('You have unsaved changes. Leave anyway?')
        ) {
          e.preventDefault()
        }
      }}
      {...props}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/custom-link.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useNavigationBlocker } from '../contexts/navigation-blocker'

export function CustomLink({ children, ...props }) {
  const { isBlocked } = useNavigationBlocker()

  return (
    <Link
      onNavigate={(e) => {
        if (
          isBlocked &&
          !window.confirm('You have unsaved changes. Leave anyway?')
        ) {
          e.preventDefault()
        }
      }}
      {...props}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

Create a navigation component:

```tsx filename="app/components/nav.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { CustomLink as Link } from './custom-link'

export default function Nav() {
  return (
    <nav>
      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </nav>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/nav.js" switcher
'use client'

import { CustomLink as Link } from './custom-link'

export default function Nav() {
  return (
    <nav>
      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </nav>
  )
}
```

Finally, wrap your app with the `NavigationBlockerProvider` in the root layout and use the components in your page:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { NavigationBlockerProvider } from './contexts/navigation-blocker'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <NavigationBlockerProvider>{children}</NavigationBlockerProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { NavigationBlockerProvider } from './contexts/navigation-blocker'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <NavigationBlockerProvider>{children}</NavigationBlockerProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Then, use the `Nav` and `Form` components in your page:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Nav from './components/nav'
import Form from './components/form'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Nav />
      <main>
        <h1>Welcome to the Dashboard</h1>
        <Form />
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Nav from './components/nav'
import Form from './components/form'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Nav />
      <main>
        <h1>Welcome to the Dashboard</h1>
        <Form />
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

When a user tries to navigate away using `CustomLink` while the form has unsaved changes, they'll be prompted to confirm before leaving.

# Linking and Navigating
@doc-version: 16.0.4


In Next.js, routes are rendered on the server by default. This often means the client has to wait for a server response before a new route can be shown. Next.js comes with built-in [prefetching](#prefetching), [streaming](#streaming), and [client-side transitions](#client-side-transitions) ensuring navigation stays fast and responsive.

This guide explains how navigation works in Next.js and how you can optimize it for [dynamic routes](#dynamic-routes-without-loadingtsx) and [slow networks](#slow-networks).

## How navigation works

To understand how navigation works in Next.js, it helps to be familiar with the following concepts:

* [Server Rendering](#server-rendering)
* [Prefetching](#prefetching)
* [Streaming](#streaming)
* [Client-side transitions](#client-side-transitions)

### Server Rendering

In Next.js, [Layouts and Pages](/docs/app/getting-started/layouts-and-pages.md) are [React Server Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components) by default. On initial and subsequent navigations, the [Server Component Payload](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#how-do-server-and-client-components-work-in-nextjs) is generated on the server before being sent to the client.

There are two types of server rendering, based on *when* it happens:

* **Static Rendering (or Prerendering)** happens at build time or during [revalidation](/docs/app/getting-started/caching-and-revalidating.md) and the result is cached.
* **Dynamic Rendering** happens at request time in response to a client request.

The trade-off of server rendering is that the client must wait for the server to respond before the new route can be shown. Next.js addresses this delay by [prefetching](#prefetching) routes the user is likely to visit and performing [client-side transitions](#client-side-transitions).

> **Good to know**: HTML is also generated for the initial visit.

### Prefetching

Prefetching is the process of loading a route in the background before the user navigates to it. This makes navigation between routes in your application feel instant, because by the time a user clicks on a link, the data to render the next route is already available client side.

Next.js automatically prefetches routes linked with the [`<Link>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) when they enter the user's viewport.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <nav>
          {/* Prefetched when the link is hovered or enters the viewport */}
          <Link href="/blog">Blog</Link>
          {/* No prefetching */}
          <a href="/contact">Contact</a>
        </nav>
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout() {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <nav>
          {/* Prefetched when the link is hovered or enters the viewport */}
          <Link href="/blog">Blog</Link>
          {/* No prefetching */}
          <a href="/contact">Contact</a>
        </nav>
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

How much of the route is prefetched depends on whether it's static or dynamic:

* **Static Route**: the full route is prefetched.
* **Dynamic Route**: prefetching is skipped, or the route is partially prefetched if [`loading.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) is present.

By skipping or partially prefetching dynamic routes, Next.js avoids unnecessary work on the server for routes the users may never visit. However, waiting for a server response before navigation can give the users the impression that the app is not responding.

![Server Rendering without Streaming](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/server-rendering-without-streaming.png)

To improve the navigation experience to dynamic routes, you can use [streaming](#streaming).

### Streaming

Streaming allows the server to send parts of a dynamic route to the client as soon as they're ready, rather than waiting for the entire route to be rendered. This means users see something sooner, even if parts of the page are still loading.

For dynamic routes, it means they can be **partially prefetched**. That is, shared layouts and loading skeletons can be requested ahead of time.

![How Server Rendering with Streaming Works](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/server-rendering-with-streaming.png)

To use streaming, create a `loading.tsx` in your route folder:

![loading.js special file](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-special-file.png)

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Add fallback UI that will be shown while the route is loading.
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Add fallback UI that will be shown while the route is loading.
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

Behind the scenes, Next.js will automatically wrap the `page.tsx` contents in a `<Suspense>` boundary. The prefetched fallback UI will be shown while the route is loading, and swapped for the actual content once ready.

> **Good to know**: You can also use [`<Suspense>`](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense) to create loading UI for nested components.

Benefits of `loading.tsx`:

* Immediate navigation and visual feedback for the user.
* Shared layouts remain interactive and navigation is interruptible.
* Improved Core Web Vitals: [TTFB](https://web.dev/articles/ttfb), [FCP](https://web.dev/articles/fcp), and [TTI](https://web.dev/articles/tti).

To further improve the navigation experience, Next.js performs a [client-side transition](#client-side-transitions) with the `<Link>` component.

### Client-side transitions

Traditionally, navigation to a server-rendered page triggers a full page load. This clears state, resets scroll position, and blocks interactivity.

Next.js avoids this with client-side transitions using the `<Link>` component. Instead of reloading the page, it updates the content dynamically by:

* Keeping any shared layouts and UI.
* Replacing the current page with the prefetched loading state or a new page if available.

Client-side transitions are what makes a server-rendered apps *feel* like client-rendered apps. And when paired with [prefetching](#prefetching) and [streaming](#streaming), it enables fast transitions, even for dynamic routes.

## What can make transitions slow?

These Next.js optimizations make navigation fast and responsive. However, under certain conditions, transitions can still *feel* slow. Here are some common causes and how to improve the user experience:

### Dynamic routes without `loading.tsx`

When navigating to a dynamic route, the client must wait for the server response before showing the result. This can give the users the impression that the app is not responding.

We recommend adding `loading.tsx` to dynamic routes to enable partial prefetching, trigger immediate navigation, and display a loading UI while the route renders.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

> **Good to know**: In development mode, you can use the Next.js Devtools to identify if the route is static or dynamic. See [`devIndicators`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/devIndicators.md) for more information.

### Dynamic segments without `generateStaticParams`

If a [dynamic segment](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) could be prerendered but isn't because it's missing [`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md), the route will fallback to dynamic rendering at request time.

Ensure the route is statically generated at build time by adding `generateStaticParams`:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))
}

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await fetch('https://.../posts').then((res) => res.json())

  return posts.map((post) => ({
    slug: post.slug,
  }))

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

### Slow networks

On slow or unstable networks, prefetching may not finish before the user clicks a link. This can affect both static and dynamic routes. In these cases, the `loading.js` fallback may not appear immediately because it hasn't been prefetched yet.

To improve perceived performance, you can use the [`useLinkStatus` hook](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-link-status.md) to show immediate feedback while the transition is in progress.

```tsx filename="app/ui/loading-indicator.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

export default function LoadingIndicator() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/loading-indicator.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

export default function LoadingIndicator() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}
```

You can "debounce" the hint by adding an initial animation delay (e.g. 100ms) and starting as invisible (e.g. `opacity: 0`). This means the loading indicator will only be shown if the navigation takes longer than the specified delay. See the [`useLinkStatus` reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-link-status.md#gracefully-handling-fast-navigation) for a CSS example.

> **Good to know**: You can use other visual feedback patterns like a progress bar. View an example [here](https://github.com/vercel/react-transition-progress).

### Disabling prefetching

You can opt out of prefetching by setting the `prefetch` prop to `false` on the `<Link>` component. This is useful to avoid unnecessary usage of resources when rendering large lists of links (e.g. an infinite scroll table).

```tsx
<Link prefetch={false} href="/blog">
  Blog
</Link>
```

However, disabling prefetching comes with trade-offs:

* **Static routes** will only be fetched when the user clicks the link.
* **Dynamic routes** will need to be rendered on the server first before the client can navigate to it.

To reduce resource usage without fully disabling prefetch, you can prefetch only on hover. This limits prefetching to routes the user is more *likely* to visit, rather than all links in the viewport.

```tsx filename="app/ui/hover-prefetch-link.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useState } from 'react'

function HoverPrefetchLink({
  href,
  children,
}: {
  href: string
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(false)

  return (
    <Link
      href={href}
      prefetch={active ? null : false}
      onMouseEnter={() => setActive(true)}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/hover-prefetch-link.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useState } from 'react'

function HoverPrefetchLink({ href, children }) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(false)

  return (
    <Link
      href={href}
      prefetch={active ? null : false}
      onMouseEnter={() => setActive(true)}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

### Hydration not completed

`<Link>` is a Client Component and must be hydrated before it can prefetch routes. On the initial visit, large JavaScript bundles can delay hydration, preventing prefetching from starting right away.

React mitigates this with Selective Hydration and you can further improve this by:

* Using the [`@next/bundle-analyzer`](/docs/app/guides/package-bundling.md#analyzing-javascript-bundles) plugin to identify and reduce bundle size by removing large dependencies.
* Moving logic from the client to the server where possible. See the [Server and Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) docs for guidance.

## Examples

### Native History API

Next.js allows you to use the native [`window.history.pushState`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/pushState) and [`window.history.replaceState`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/replaceState) methods to update the browser's history stack without reloading the page.

`pushState` and `replaceState` calls integrate into the Next.js Router, allowing you to sync with [`usePathname`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md) and [`useSearchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md).

#### `window.history.pushState`

Use it to add a new entry to the browser's history stack. The user can navigate back to the previous state. For example, to sort a list of products:

```tsx fileName="app/ui/sort-products.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SortProducts() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  function updateSorting(sortOrder: string) {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(searchParams.toString())
    params.set('sort', sortOrder)
    window.history.pushState(null, '', `?${params.toString()}`)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('asc')}>Sort Ascending</button>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('desc')}>Sort Descending</button>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx fileName="app/ui/sort-products.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SortProducts() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  function updateSorting(sortOrder) {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(searchParams.toString())
    params.set('sort', sortOrder)
    window.history.pushState(null, '', `?${params.toString()}`)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('asc')}>Sort Ascending</button>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('desc')}>Sort Descending</button>
    </>
  )
}
```

#### `window.history.replaceState`

Use it to replace the current entry on the browser's history stack. The user is not able to navigate back to the previous state. For example, to switch the application's locale:

```tsx fileName="app/ui/locale-switcher.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export function LocaleSwitcher() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  function switchLocale(locale: string) {
    // e.g. '/en/about' or '/fr/contact'
    const newPath = `/${locale}${pathname}`
    window.history.replaceState(null, '', newPath)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => switchLocale('en')}>English</button>
      <button onClick={() => switchLocale('fr')}>French</button>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx fileName="app/ui/locale-switcher.js" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export function LocaleSwitcher() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  function switchLocale(locale) {
    // e.g. '/en/about' or '/fr/contact'
    const newPath = `/${locale}${pathname}`
    window.history.replaceState(null, '', newPath)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => switchLocale('en')}>English</button>
      <button onClick={() => switchLocale('fr')}>French</button>
    </>
  )
}

# loading.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The special file `loading.js` helps you create meaningful Loading UI with [React Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense). With this convention, you can show an [instant loading state](#instant-loading-states) from the server while the content of a route segment streams in. The new content is automatically swapped in once complete.

![Loading UI](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-ui.png)

```tsx filename="app/feed/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Or a custom loading skeleton component
  return <p>Loading...</p>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/feed/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // Or a custom loading skeleton component
  return <p>Loading...</p>
}
```

Inside the `loading.js` file, you can add any light-weight loading UI. You may find it helpful to use the [React Developer Tools](https://react.dev/learn/react-developer-tools) to manually toggle Suspense boundaries.

By default, this file is a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) - but can also be used as a Client Component through the `"use client"` directive.

## Reference

### Parameters

Loading UI components do not accept any parameters.

## Behavior

### Navigation

* The Fallback UI is [prefetched](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching), making navigation immediate unless prefetching hasn't completed.
* Navigation is interruptible, meaning changing routes does not need to wait for the content of the route to fully load before navigating to another route.
* Shared layouts remain interactive while new route segments load.

### Instant Loading States

An instant loading state is fallback UI that is shown immediately upon navigation. You can pre-render loading indicators such as skeletons and spinners, or a small but meaningful part of future screens such as a cover photo, title, etc. This helps users understand the app is responding and provides a better user experience.

Create a loading state by adding a `loading.js` file inside a folder.

![loading.js special file](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-special-file.png)

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/loading.tsx" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // You can add any UI inside Loading, including a Skeleton.
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/loading.js" switcher
export default function Loading() {
  // You can add any UI inside Loading, including a Skeleton.
  return <LoadingSkeleton />
}
```

In the same folder, `loading.js` will be nested inside `layout.js`. It will automatically wrap the `page.js` file and any children below in a `<Suspense>` boundary.

![loading.js overview](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/loading-overview.png)

### SEO

* For bots that only scrape static HTML, and cannot execute JavaScript like a full browser, such as Twitterbot, Next.js resolves [`generateMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md) before streaming UI, and metadata is placed in the `<head>` of the initial HTML.
* Otherwise, [streaming metadata](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#streaming-metadata) may be used. Next.js automatically detects user agents to choose between blocking and streaming behavior.
* Since streaming is server-rendered, it does not impact SEO. You can use the [Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) tool from Google to see how your page appears to Google's web crawlers and view the serialized HTML ([source](https://web.dev/rendering-on-the-web/#seo-considerations)).

### Status Codes

When streaming, a `200` status code will be returned to signal that the request was successful.

The server can still communicate errors or issues to the client within the streamed content itself, for example, when using [`redirect`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) or [`notFound`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md). Because the response headers have already been sent to the client, the status code of the response cannot be updated.

For example, when a 404 page is streamed to the client, Next.js includes a `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">` tag in the streamed HTML. This prevents search engines from indexing that URL even if the HTTP status is 200. See Google’s guidance on the [`robots` meta tag](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots-meta-tag).

Some crawlers may label these responses as “soft 404s”. In the streaming case, this does not lead to indexation because the page is explicitly marked `noindex` in the HTML.

If you need a 404 status, for compliance or analytics, ensure the resource exists before the response body is streamed, so that the server can set the HTTP status code.

You can run this check in [`proxy`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) to rewrite missing slugs to a not-found route, or [produce a 404 response](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#producing-a-response). Keep proxy checks fast, and avoid fetching full content there.

<details>
<summary>When is the response body streamed?</summary>

The response body starts streaming when a Suspense fallback renders (for example, a `loading.tsx`) or when a Server Component suspends under a `Suspense` boundary. Place `notFound()` before those boundaries and before any `await` that may suspend.

To start streaming, the response headers must be set. This is why it is not possible to change the status code after streaming started.

### Browser limits

[Some browsers](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252413) buffer a streaming response. You may not see the streamed response until the response exceeds 1024 bytes. This typically only affects “hello world” applications, but not real applications.

## Examples

### Streaming with Suspense

In addition to `loading.js`, you can also manually create Suspense Boundaries for your own UI components. The App Router supports streaming with [Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense).

`<Suspense>` works by wrapping a component that performs an asynchronous action (e.g. fetch data), showing fallback UI (e.g. skeleton, spinner) while it's happening, and then swapping in your component once the action completes.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { PostFeed, Weather } from './Components'

export default function Posts() {
  return (
    <section>
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading feed...</p>}>
        <PostFeed />
      </Suspense>
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading weather...</p>}>
        <Weather />
      </Suspense>
    </section>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { PostFeed, Weather } from './Components'

export default function Posts() {
  return (
    <section>
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading feed...</p>}>
        <PostFeed />
      </Suspense>
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading weather...</p>}>
        <Weather />
      </Suspense>
    </section>
  )
}
```

By using Suspense, you get the benefits of:

1. **Streaming Server Rendering** - Progressively rendering HTML from the server to the client.
2. **Selective Hydration** - React prioritizes what components to make interactive first based on user interaction.

For more Suspense examples and use cases, please see the [React Documentation](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense).

# How to optimize your local development environment
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js is designed to provide a great developer experience. As your application grows, you might notice slower compilation times during local development. This guide will help you identify and fix common compile-time performance issues.

## Local dev vs. production

The development process with `next dev` is different than `next build` and `next start`.

`next dev` compiles routes in your application as you open or navigate to them. This enables you to start the dev server without waiting for every route in your application to compile, which is both faster and uses less memory. Running a production build applies other optimizations, like minifying files and creating content hashes, which are not needed for local development.

## Improving local dev performance

### 1. Check your computer's antivirus

Antivirus software can slow down file access. While this is more common on Windows machines, this can be an issue for any system with an antivirus tool installed.

On Windows, you can add your project to the [Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusion list](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/virus-and-threat-protection-in-the-windows-security-app-1362f4cd-d71a-b52a-0b66-c2820032b65e#bkmk_threat-protection-settings).

1. Open the **"Windows Security"** application and then select **"Virus & threat protection"** → **"Manage settings"** → **"Add or remove exclusions"**.
2. Add a **"Folder"** exclusion. Select your project folder.

On macOS, you can disable [Gatekeeper](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/gatekeeper-and-runtime-protection-sec5599b66df/web) inside of your terminal.

1. Run `sudo spctl developer-mode enable-terminal` in your terminal.
2. Open the **"System Settings"** app and then select **"Privacy & Security"** → **"Developer Tools"**.
3. Ensure your terminal is listed and enabled. If you're using a third-party terminal like iTerm or Ghostty, add that to the list.
4. Restart your terminal.

![Screenshot of macOS System Settings showing the Privacy & Security pane](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/macos-gatekeeper-privacy-and-security.png)

![Screenshot of macOS System Settings showing the Developer Tools options](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/macos-gatekeeper-developer-tools.png)

If you or your employer have configured any other Antivirus solutions on your system, you should inspect the relevant settings for those products.

### 2. Update Next.js and use Turbopack

Make sure you're using the latest version of Next.js. Each new version often includes performance improvements.

Turbopack is now the default bundler for Next.js development and provides significant performance improvements over webpack.

```bash
npm install next@latest
npm run dev  # Turbopack is used by default
```

If you need to use Webpack instead of Turbopack, you can opt-in:

```bash
npm run dev --webpack
```

[Learn more about Turbopack](/blog/turbopack-for-development-stable). See our [upgrade guides](/docs/app/guides/upgrading.md) and codemods for more information.

### 3. Check your imports

The way you import code can greatly affect compilation and bundling time. Learn more about [optimizing package bundling](/docs/app/guides/package-bundling.md) and explore tools like [Dependency Cruiser](https://github.com/sverweij/dependency-cruiser) or [Madge](https://github.com/pahen/madge).

#### Icon libraries

Libraries like `@material-ui/icons`, `@phosphor-icons/react`, or `react-icons` can import thousands of icons, even if you only use a few. Try to import only the icons you need:

```jsx
// Instead of this:
import { TriangleIcon } from '@phosphor-icons/react'

// Do this:
import { TriangleIcon } from '@phosphor-icons/react/dist/csr/Triangle'
```

You can often find what import pattern to use in the documentation for the icon library you're using. This example follows [`@phosphor-icons/react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@phosphor-icons/react#import-performance-optimization) recommendation.

Libraries like `react-icons` includes many different icon sets. Choose one set and stick with that set.

For example, if your application uses `react-icons` and imports all of these:

* `pi` (Phosphor Icons)
* `md` (Material Design Icons)
* `tb` (tabler-icons)
* `cg` (cssgg)

Combined they will be tens of thousands of modules that the compiler has to handle, even if you only use a single import from each.

#### Barrel files

"Barrel files" are files that export many items from other files. They can slow down builds because the compiler has to parse them to find if there are side-effects in the module scope by using the import.

Try to import directly from specific files when possible. [Learn more about barrel files](https://vercel.com/blog/how-we-optimized-package-imports-in-next-js) and the built-in optimizations in Next.js.

#### Optimize package imports

Next.js can automatically optimize imports for certain packages. If you are using packages that utilize barrel files, add them to your `next.config.js`:

```jsx
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    optimizePackageImports: ['package-name'],
  },
}
```

Turbopack automatically analyzes imports and optimizes them. It does not require this configuration.

### 4. Check your Tailwind CSS setup

If you're using Tailwind CSS, make sure it's set up correctly.

A common mistake is configuring your `content` array in a way which includes `node_modules` or other large directories of files that should not be scanned.

Tailwind CSS version 3.4.8 or newer will warn you about settings that might slow down your build.

1. In your `tailwind.config.js`, be specific about which files to scan:

   ```jsx
   module.exports = {
     content: [
       './src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', // Good
       // This might be too broad
       // It will match `packages/**/node_modules` too
       // '../../packages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
     ],
   }
   ```

2. Avoid scanning unnecessary files:

   ```jsx
   module.exports = {
     content: [
       // Better - only scans the 'src' folder
       '../../packages/ui/src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
     ],
   }
   ```

### 5. Check custom webpack settings

If you've added custom webpack settings, they might be slowing down compilation.

Consider if you really need them for local development. You can optionally only include certain tools for production builds, or explore using the default Turbopack bundler and configuring [loaders](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack.md#configuring-webpack-loaders) instead.

### 6. Optimize memory usage

If your app is very large, it might need more memory.

[Learn more about optimizing memory usage](/docs/app/guides/memory-usage.md).

### 7. Server Components and data fetching

Changes to Server Components cause the entire page to re-render locally in order to show the new changes, which includes fetching new data for the component.

The experimental `serverComponentsHmrCache` option allows you to cache `fetch` responses in Server Components across Hot Module Replacement (HMR) refreshes in local development. This results in faster responses and reduced costs for billed API calls.

[Learn more about the experimental option](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverComponentsHmrCache.md).

### 8. Consider local development over Docker

If you're using Docker for development on Mac or Windows, you may experience significantly slower performance compared to running Next.js locally.

Docker's filesystem access on Mac and Windows can cause Hot Module Replacement (HMR) to take seconds or even minutes, while the same application runs with fast HMR when developed locally.

This performance difference is due to how Docker handles filesystem operations outside of Linux environments. For the best development experience:

* Use local development (`npm run dev` or `pnpm dev`) instead of Docker during development
* Reserve Docker for production deployments and testing production builds
* If you must use Docker for development, consider using Docker on a Linux machine or VM

[Learn more about Docker deployment](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md#docker) for production use.

## Tools for finding problems

### Detailed fetch logging

Use the `logging.fetches` option in your `next.config.js` file, to see more detailed information about what's happening during development:

```js
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    fetches: {
      fullUrl: true,
    },
  },
}
```

[Learn more about fetch logging](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/logging.md).

### Turbopack tracing

Turbopack tracing is a tool that helps you understand the performance of your application during local development.
It provides detailed information about the time taken for each module to compile and how they are related.

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Next.js installed.

2. Generate a Turbopack trace file:

   ```bash
   NEXT_TURBOPACK_TRACING=1 npm run dev
   ```

3. Navigate around your application or make edits to files to reproduce the problem.

4. Stop the Next.js development server.

5. A file called `trace-turbopack` will be available in the `.next/dev` folder.

6. You can interpret the file using `npx next internal trace [path-to-file]`:

   ```bash
   npx next internal trace .next/dev/trace-turbopack
   ```

   On versions where `trace` is not available, the command was named `turbo-trace-server`:

   ```bash
   npx next internal turbo-trace-server .next/dev/trace-turbopack
   ```

7. Once the trace server is running you can view the trace at https://trace.nextjs.org/.

8. By default the trace viewer will aggregate timings, in order to see each individual time you can switch from "Aggregated in order" to "Spans in order" at the top right of the viewer.

> **Good to know**: The trace file is place under the development server directory, which defaults to `.next/dev`. This is controllable using the [`isolatedDevBuild`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/isolatedDevBuild.md) flag in your Next config file.

### Still having problems?

Share the trace file generated in the [Turbopack Tracing](#turbopack-tracing) section and share it on [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions) or [Discord](https://nextjs.org/discord).

# logging
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Options

### Fetching

You can configure the logging level and whether the full URL is logged to the console when running Next.js in development mode.

Currently, `logging` only applies to data fetching using the `fetch` API. It does not yet apply to other logs inside of Next.js.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    fetches: {
      fullUrl: true,
    },
  },
}
```

Any `fetch` requests that are restored from the [Server Components HMR cache](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverComponentsHmrCache.md) are not logged by default. However, this can be enabled by setting `logging.fetches.hmrRefreshes` to `true`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    fetches: {
      hmrRefreshes: true,
    },
  },
}
```

### Incoming Requests

By default all the incoming requests will be logged in the console during development. You can use the `incomingRequests` option to decide which requests to ignore.
Since this is only logged in development, this option doesn't affect production builds.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    incomingRequests: {
      ignore: [/\api\/v1\/health/],
    },
  },
}
```

Or you can disable incoming request logging by setting `incomingRequests` to `false`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: {
    incomingRequests: false,
  },
}
```

### Disabling Logging

In addition, you can disable the development logging by setting `logging` to `false`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  logging: false,
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/manifest.md

# manifest.json
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Add or generate a `manifest.(json|webmanifest)` file that matches the [Web Manifest Specification](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Manifest) in the **root** of `app` directory to provide information about your web application for the browser.

## Static Manifest file

```json filename="app/manifest.json | app/manifest.webmanifest"
{
  "name": "My Next.js Application",
  "short_name": "Next.js App",
  "description": "An application built with Next.js",
  "start_url": "/"
  // ...
}
```

## Generate a Manifest file

Add a `manifest.js` or `manifest.ts` file that returns a [`Manifest` object](#manifest-object).

> Good to know: `manifest.js` is special Route Handlers that is cached by default unless it uses a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-apis) or [dynamic config](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#segment-config-options) option.

```ts filename="app/manifest.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function manifest(): MetadataRoute.Manifest {
  return {
    name: 'Next.js App',
    short_name: 'Next.js App',
    description: 'Next.js App',
    start_url: '/',
    display: 'standalone',
    background_color: '#fff',
    theme_color: '#fff',
    icons: [
      {
        src: '/favicon.ico',
        sizes: 'any',
        type: 'image/x-icon',
      },
    ],
  }
}
```

```js filename="app/manifest.js" switcher
export default function manifest() {
  return {
    name: 'Next.js App',
    short_name: 'Next.js App',
    description: 'Next.js App',
    start_url: '/',
    display: 'standalone',
    background_color: '#fff',
    theme_color: '#fff',
    icons: [
      {
        src: '/favicon.ico',
        sizes: 'any',
        type: 'image/x-icon',
      },
    ],
  }
}
```

### Manifest Object

The manifest object contains an extensive list of options that may be updated due to new web standards. For information on all the current options, refer to the `MetadataRoute.Manifest` type in your code editor if using [TypeScript](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md#ide-plugin) or see the [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Manifest) docs.

# Enabling Next.js MCP Server for Coding Agents
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is an open standard that allows AI agents and coding assistants to interact with your applications through a standardized interface.

Next.js 16+ includes MCP support that enables coding agents to access your application's internals in real-time. To use this functionality, install the [`next-devtools-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-devtools-mcp) package.

## Getting started

**Requirements:** Next.js 16 or above

Add `next-devtools-mcp` to the `.mcp.json` file at the root of your project:

```json filename=".mcp.json"
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "next-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "next-devtools-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

That's it! When you start your development server, `next-devtools-mcp` will automatically discover and connect to your running Next.js instance.

For more configuration options, see the [next-devtools-mcp repository](https://github.com/vercel/next-devtools-mcp).

## Capabilities

`next-devtools-mcp` provides coding agents with a growing set of capabilities:

### Application Runtime Access

* **Error Detection**: Retrieve current build errors, runtime errors, and type errors from your dev server
* **Live State Queries**: Access real-time application state and runtime information
* **Page Metadata**: Query page routes, components, and rendering details
* **Server Actions**: Inspect Server Actions and component hierarchies
* **Development Logs**: Access development server logs and console output

### Development Tools

* **Next.js Knowledge Base**: Query comprehensive Next.js documentation and best practices
* **Migration and Upgrade Tools**: Automated helpers for upgrading to Next.js 16 with codemods
* **Cache Components Guide**: Setup and configuration assistance for Cache Components
* **Browser Testing**: [Playwright MCP](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp) integration for verifying pages in the browser

> **Note:** The Next.js team is actively expanding these capabilities. New tools and features are added regularly to improve the agent development experience.

## Development workflow

1. Start your Next.js development server:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm run dev
```

2. Your Coding Agent will automatically connect to the running Next.js instance via `next-devtools-mcp`

3. Open your application in the browser to view pages

4. Query your agent for insights and diagnostics (see examples below)

### Available tools

Through `next-devtools-mcp`, agents can use the following tools:

* **`get_errors`**: Retrieve current build errors, runtime errors, and type errors from your dev server
* **`get_logs`**: Get the path to the development log file containing browser console logs and server output
* **`get_page_metadata`**: Get metadata about specific pages including routes, components, and rendering information
* **`get_project_metadata`**: Retrieve project structure, configuration, and dev server URL
* **`get_server_action_by_id`**: Look up Server Actions by their ID to find the source file and function name

## Using with agents

MCP-compatible Coding Agents can automatically discover and connect to your Next.js development server, providing them with rich context about your project.

### Benefits for agent-assisted development

Agents can:

* **Make context-aware suggestions**: Recommend the right place to add new features based on your existing structure
* **Query live application state**: Check current configuration, routes, and middleware during development
* **Understand your app router pages layout**: Know exactly which page and layout are rendered
* **Provide accurate implementations**: Generate code that follows your project's patterns and conventions

## Examples

### Error detection and diagnosis

Ask your agent about errors in real-time:

```bash
User: "What errors are currently in my application?"
```

The agent will:

* Query your running Next.js application via `next-devtools-mcp`
* Retrieve current build errors, runtime errors, and type errors
* Analyze the errors and provide actionable fixes

<details>
<summary>Agent response (click to expand)</summary>

```bash
> fix errors on the page

⏺ I'll help you fix the errors on the page. Let me first check what errors exist by looking at the
  current state of the project.

⏺ next-devtools - nextjs_runtime (MCP)(action: "discover_servers")
⏺ next-devtools - nextjs_runtime (MCP)(action: "call_tool", toolName: "get_errors")

⏺ I found a hydration error on the /about page. The error shows that the server is rendering
  "server" but the client is rendering "client", causing a mismatch. Let me create a todo list and fix
   this issue.

⏺ Perfect! Now let me check for errors on the page.           01:14 PM  claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929

⏺ next-devtools - nextjs_runtime (MCP)(action: "call_tool", toolName: "get_errors")
  ⎿ {
      "success": true,
      "port": 3000,
      "toolName": "get_errors",
      "result": {
        "content": [
          {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "# Found errors in 1 browser session(s)\n\n## Session: /about\n\n**1 error(s)
     found**\n\n### Runtime Errors\n\n#### Error 1 (Type: recoverable)\n\n**Error**: Hydration failed
```

</details>

### Upgrading and best practices

Get help with Next.js concepts and migrations:

```bash
User: "Help me upgrade my Next.js app to version 16"
```

The agent will analyze your current version, guide you through automated migrations with codemods, and provide step-by-step instructions for handling breaking changes.

Ask conceptual questions:

```bash
User: "When should I use 'use client' in App Router?"
```

The agent will query the Next.js knowledge base and provide documentation-backed explanations with examples from your codebase.

## How it works

Next.js 16+ includes a built-in MCP endpoint at `/_next/mcp` that runs within your development server. The `next-devtools-mcp` package automatically discovers and communicates with these endpoints, allowing it to:

* Connect to multiple Next.js instances running on different ports
* Forward tool calls to the appropriate Next.js dev server
* Provide a unified interface for coding agents

This architecture decouples the agent interface from the internal implementation, enabling `next-devtools-mcp` to work seamlessly across different Next.js projects.

## Troubleshooting

### MCP server not connecting

* Ensure you're using Next.js v16 or above
* Verify `next-devtools-mcp` is configured in your `.mcp.json`
* Start your development server: `npm run dev`
* Restart your development server if it was already running
* Check that your coding agent has loaded the MCP server configuration

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/mdx-components.md

# mdx-components.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `mdx-components.js|tsx` file is **required** to use [`@next/mdx` with App Router](/docs/app/guides/mdx.md) and will not work without it. Additionally, you can use it to [customize styles](/docs/app/guides/mdx.md#using-custom-styles-and-components).

Use the file `mdx-components.tsx` (or `.js`) in the root of your project to define MDX Components. For example, at the same level as `pages` or `app`, or inside `src` if applicable.

```tsx filename="mdx-components.tsx" switcher
import type { MDXComponents } from 'mdx/types'

const components: MDXComponents = {}

export function useMDXComponents(): MDXComponents {
  return components
}
```

```js filename="mdx-components.js" switcher
const components = {}

export function useMDXComponents() {
  return components
}
```

## Exports

### `useMDXComponents` function

The file must export a single function named `useMDXComponents`. This function does not accept any arguments.

```tsx filename="mdx-components.tsx" switcher
import type { MDXComponents } from 'mdx/types'

const components: MDXComponents = {}

export function useMDXComponents(): MDXComponents {
  return components
}
```

```js filename="mdx-components.js" switcher
const components = {}

export function useMDXComponents() {
  return components
}
```

# How to use markdown and MDX in Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


[Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) is a lightweight markup language used to format text. It allows you to write using plain text syntax and convert it to structurally valid HTML. It's commonly used for writing content on websites and blogs.

You write...

```md
I **love** using [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)
```

Output:

```html
<p>I <strong>love</strong> using <a href="https://nextjs.org/">Next.js</a></p>
```

[MDX](https://mdxjs.com/) is a superset of markdown that lets you write [JSX](https://react.dev/learn/writing-markup-with-jsx) directly in your markdown files. It is a powerful way to add dynamic interactivity and embed React components within your content.

Next.js can support both local MDX content inside your application, as well as remote MDX files fetched dynamically on the server. The Next.js plugin handles transforming markdown and React components into HTML, including support for usage in Server Components (the default in App Router).

The `@next/mdx` package, and related packages, are used to configure Next.js so it can process markdown and MDX. **It sources data from local files**, allowing you to create pages with a `.md` or `.mdx` extension, directly in your `/pages` or `/app` directory.

Install these packages to render MDX with Next.js:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install @next/mdx @mdx-js/loader @mdx-js/react @types/mdx
```

## Configure `next.config.mjs`

Update the `next.config.mjs` file at your project's root to configure it to use MDX:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
import createMDX from '@next/mdx'

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // Configure `pageExtensions` to include markdown and MDX files
  pageExtensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'md', 'mdx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
  // Optionally, add any other Next.js config below
}

const withMDX = createMDX({
  // Add markdown plugins here, as desired
})

// Merge MDX config with Next.js config
export default withMDX(nextConfig)
```

This allows `.mdx` files to act as pages, routes, or imports in your application.

### Handling `.md` files

By default, `next/mdx` only compiles files with the `.mdx` extension. To handle `.md` files with webpack, update the `extension` option:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
const withMDX = createMDX({
  extension: /\.(md|mdx)$/,
})
```

## Add an `mdx-components.tsx` file

Create an `mdx-components.tsx` (or `.js`) file in the root of your project to define global MDX Components. For example, at the same level as `pages` or `app`, or inside `src` if applicable.

```tsx filename="mdx-components.tsx" switcher
import type { MDXComponents } from 'mdx/types'

const components: MDXComponents = {}

export function useMDXComponents(): MDXComponents {
  return components
}
```

```js filename="mdx-components.js" switcher
const components = {}

export function useMDXComponents() {
  return components
}
```

## Rendering MDX

You can render MDX using Next.js's file based routing or by importing MDX files into other pages.

### Using file based routing

When using file based routing, you can use MDX pages like any other page.

In App Router apps, that includes being able to use [metadata](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md).

Create a new MDX page within the `/app` directory:

```txt
  my-project
  ├── app
  │   └── mdx-page
  │       └── page.(mdx/md)
  |── mdx-components.(tsx/js)
  └── package.json
```

You can use MDX in these files, and even import React components, directly inside your MDX page:

```mdx
import { MyComponent } from 'my-component'

# Welcome to my MDX page!

This is some **bold** and _italics_ text.

This is a list in markdown:

- One
- Two
- Three

Checkout my React component:

<MyComponent />
```

Navigating to the `/mdx-page` route should display your rendered MDX page.

### Using imports

Create a new page within the `/app` directory and an MDX file wherever you'd like:

```txt
  .
  ├── app/
  │   └── mdx-page/
  │       └── page.(tsx/js)
  ├── markdown/
  │   └── welcome.(mdx/md)
  ├── mdx-components.(tsx/js)
  └── package.json
```

You can use MDX in these files, and even import React components, directly inside your MDX page:

```mdx filename="markdown/welcome.mdx" switcher
import { MyComponent } from 'my-component'

# Welcome to my MDX page!

This is some **bold** and _italics_ text.

This is a list in markdown:

- One
- Two
- Three

Checkout my React component:

<MyComponent />
```

Import the MDX file inside the page to display the content:

```tsx filename="app/mdx-page/page.tsx" switcher
import Welcome from '@/markdown/welcome.mdx'

export default function Page() {
  return <Welcome />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/mdx-page/page.js" switcher
import Welcome from '@/markdown/welcome.mdx'

export default function Page() {
  return <Welcome />
}
```

Navigating to the `/mdx-page` route should display your rendered MDX page.

### Using dynamic imports

You can import dynamic MDX components instead of using filesystem routing for MDX files.

For example, you can have a dynamic route segment which loads MDX components from a separate directory:

![Route segments for dynamic MDX components](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/mdx-files.png)

[`generateStaticParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) can be used to prerender the provided routes. By marking `dynamicParams` as `false`, accessing a route not defined in `generateStaticParams` will 404.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const { default: Post } = await import(`@/content/${slug}.mdx`)

  return <Post />
}

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: 'welcome' }, { slug: 'about' }]
}

export const dynamicParams = false
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const { default: Post } = await import(`@/content/${slug}.mdx`)

  return <Post />
}

export function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: 'welcome' }, { slug: 'about' }]
}

export const dynamicParams = false
```

> **Good to know**: Ensure you specify the `.mdx` file extension in your import. While it is not required to use [module path aliases](/docs/app/getting-started/installation.md#set-up-absolute-imports-and-module-path-aliases) (e.g., `@/content`), it does simplify your import path.

## Using custom styles and components

Markdown, when rendered, maps to native HTML elements. For example, writing the following markdown:

```md
## This is a heading

This is a list in markdown:

- One
- Two
- Three
```

Generates the following HTML:

```html
<h2>This is a heading</h2>

<p>This is a list in markdown:</p>

<ul>
  <li>One</li>
  <li>Two</li>
  <li>Three</li>
</ul>
```

To style your markdown, you can provide custom components that map to the generated HTML elements. Styles and components can be implemented globally, locally, and with shared layouts.

### Global styles and components

Adding styles and components in `mdx-components.tsx` will affect *all* MDX files in your application.

```tsx filename="mdx-components.tsx" switcher
import type { MDXComponents } from 'mdx/types'
import Image, { ImageProps } from 'next/image'

// This file allows you to provide custom React components
// to be used in MDX files. You can import and use any
// React component you want, including inline styles,
// components from other libraries, and more.

const components = {
  // Allows customizing built-in components, e.g. to add styling.
  h1: ({ children }) => (
    <h1 style={{ color: 'red', fontSize: '48px' }}>{children}</h1>
  ),
  img: (props) => (
    <Image
      sizes="100vw"
      style={{ width: '100%', height: 'auto' }}
      {...(props as ImageProps)}
    />
  ),
} satisfies MDXComponents

export function useMDXComponents(): MDXComponents {
  return components
}
```

```js filename="mdx-components.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

// This file allows you to provide custom React components
// to be used in MDX files. You can import and use any
// React component you want, including inline styles,
// components from other libraries, and more.

const components = {
  // Allows customizing built-in components, e.g. to add styling.
  h1: ({ children }) => (
    <h1 style={{ color: 'red', fontSize: '48px' }}>{children}</h1>
  ),
  img: (props) => (
    <Image sizes="100vw" style={{ width: '100%', height: 'auto' }} {...props} />
  ),
}

export function useMDXComponents() {
  return components
}
```

### Local styles and components

You can apply local styles and components to specific pages by passing them into imported MDX components. These will merge with and override [global styles and components](#global-styles-and-components).

```tsx filename="app/mdx-page/page.tsx" switcher
import Welcome from '@/markdown/welcome.mdx'

function CustomH1({ children }) {
  return <h1 style={{ color: 'blue', fontSize: '100px' }}>{children}</h1>
}

const overrideComponents = {
  h1: CustomH1,
}

export default function Page() {
  return <Welcome components={overrideComponents} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/mdx-page/page.js" switcher
import Welcome from '@/markdown/welcome.mdx'

function CustomH1({ children }) {
  return <h1 style={{ color: 'blue', fontSize: '100px' }}>{children}</h1>
}

const overrideComponents = {
  h1: CustomH1,
}

export default function Page() {
  return <Welcome components={overrideComponents} />
}
```

### Shared layouts

To share a layout across MDX pages, you can use the [built-in layouts support](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) with the App Router.

```tsx filename="app/mdx-page/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function MdxLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  // Create any shared layout or styles here
  return <div style={{ color: 'blue' }}>{children}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/mdx-page/layout.js" switcher
export default function MdxLayout({ children }) {
  // Create any shared layout or styles here
  return <div style={{ color: 'blue' }}>{children}</div>
}
```

### Using Tailwind typography plugin

If you are using [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com) to style your application, using the [`@tailwindcss/typography` plugin](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/plugins#typography) will allow you to reuse your Tailwind configuration and styles in your markdown files.

The plugin adds a set of `prose` classes that can be used to add typographic styles to content blocks that come from sources, like markdown.

[Install Tailwind typography](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-typography?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) and use with [shared layouts](#shared-layouts) to add the `prose` you want.

```tsx filename="app/mdx-page/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function MdxLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  // Create any shared layout or styles here
  return (
    <div className="prose prose-headings:mt-8 prose-headings:font-semibold prose-headings:text-black prose-h1:text-5xl prose-h2:text-4xl prose-h3:text-3xl prose-h4:text-2xl prose-h5:text-xl prose-h6:text-lg dark:prose-headings:text-white">
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/mdx-page/layout.js" switcher
export default function MdxLayout({ children }) {
  // Create any shared layout or styles here
  return (
    <div className="prose prose-headings:mt-8 prose-headings:font-semibold prose-headings:text-black prose-h1:text-5xl prose-h2:text-4xl prose-h3:text-3xl prose-h4:text-2xl prose-h5:text-xl prose-h6:text-lg dark:prose-headings:text-white">
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Frontmatter

Frontmatter is a YAML like key/value pairing that can be used to store data about a page. `@next/mdx` does **not** support frontmatter by default, though there are many solutions for adding frontmatter to your MDX content, such as:

* [remark-frontmatter](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-frontmatter)
* [remark-mdx-frontmatter](https://github.com/remcohaszing/remark-mdx-frontmatter)
* [gray-matter](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/gray-matter)

`@next/mdx` **does** allow you to use exports like any other JavaScript component:

```mdx filename="content/blog-post.mdx" switcher
export const metadata = {
  author: 'John Doe',
}

# Blog post
```

Metadata can now be referenced outside of the MDX file:

```tsx filename="app/blog/page.tsx" switcher
import BlogPost, { metadata } from '@/content/blog-post.mdx'

export default function Page() {
  console.log('metadata: ', metadata)
  //=> { author: 'John Doe' }
  return <BlogPost />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/page.js" switcher
import BlogPost, { metadata } from '@/content/blog-post.mdx'

export default function Page() {
  console.log('metadata: ', metadata)
  //=> { author: 'John Doe' }
  return <BlogPost />
}
```

A common use case for this is when you want to iterate over a collection of MDX and extract data. For example, creating a blog index page from all blog posts. You can use packages like [Node's `fs` module](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) or [globby](https://www.npmjs.com/package/globby) to read a directory of posts and extract the metadata.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Using `fs`, `globby`, etc. can only be used server-side.
> * View the [Portfolio Starter Kit](https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/portfolio-starter-kit) template for a complete working example.

## remark and rehype Plugins

You can optionally provide remark and rehype plugins to transform the MDX content.

For example, you can use [`remark-gfm`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-gfm) to support GitHub Flavored Markdown.

Since the remark and rehype ecosystem is ESM only, you'll need to use `next.config.mjs` or `next.config.ts` as the configuration file.

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
import remarkGfm from 'remark-gfm'
import createMDX from '@next/mdx'

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // Allow .mdx extensions for files
  pageExtensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'md', 'mdx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
  // Optionally, add any other Next.js config below
}

const withMDX = createMDX({
  // Add markdown plugins here, as desired
  options: {
    remarkPlugins: [remarkGfm],
    rehypePlugins: [],
  },
})

// Combine MDX and Next.js config
export default withMDX(nextConfig)
```

### Using Plugins with Turbopack

To use plugins with [Turbopack](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md), upgrade to the latest `@next/mdx` and specify plugin names using a string:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
import createMDX from '@next/mdx'

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  pageExtensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'md', 'mdx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
}

const withMDX = createMDX({
  options: {
    remarkPlugins: [
      // Without options
      'remark-gfm',
      // With options
      ['remark-toc', { heading: 'The Table' }],
    ],
    rehypePlugins: [
      // Without options
      'rehype-slug',
      // With options
      ['rehype-katex', { strict: true, throwOnError: true }],
    ],
  },
})

export default withMDX(nextConfig)
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> remark and rehype plugins without serializable options cannot be used yet with [Turbopack](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md), because JavaScript functions can't be passed to Rust.

## Remote MDX

If your MDX files or content lives *somewhere else*, you can fetch it dynamically on the server. This is useful for content stored in a CMS, database, or anywhere else. A community package for this use is [`next-mdx-remote-client`](https://github.com/ipikuka/next-mdx-remote-client?tab=readme-ov-file#the-part-associated-with-nextjs-app-router).

> **Good to know**: Please proceed with caution. MDX compiles to JavaScript and is executed on the server. You should only fetch MDX content from a trusted source, otherwise this can lead to remote code execution (RCE).

The following example uses `next-mdx-remote-client`:

```tsx filename="app/mdx-page-remote/page.tsx" switcher
import { MDXRemote } from 'next-mdx-remote-client/rsc'

export default async function RemoteMdxPage() {
  // MDX text - can be from a database, CMS, fetch, anywhere...
  const res = await fetch('https://...')
  const markdown = await res.text()
  return <MDXRemote source={markdown} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/mdx-page-remote/page.js" switcher
import { MDXRemote } from 'next-mdx-remote-client/rsc'

export default async function RemoteMdxPage() {
  // MDX text - can be from a database, CMS, fetch, anywhere...
  const res = await fetch('https://...')
  const markdown = await res.text()
  return <MDXRemote source={markdown} />
}
```

Navigating to the `/mdx-page-remote` route should display your rendered MDX.

## Deep Dive: How do you transform markdown into HTML?

React does not natively understand markdown. The markdown plaintext needs to first be transformed into HTML. This can be accomplished with `remark` and `rehype`.

`remark` is an ecosystem of tools around markdown. `rehype` is the same, but for HTML. For example, the following code snippet transforms markdown into HTML:

```js
import { unified } from 'unified'
import remarkParse from 'remark-parse'
import remarkRehype from 'remark-rehype'
import rehypeSanitize from 'rehype-sanitize'
import rehypeStringify from 'rehype-stringify'

main()

async function main() {
  const file = await unified()
    .use(remarkParse) // Convert into markdown AST
    .use(remarkRehype) // Transform to HTML AST
    .use(rehypeSanitize) // Sanitize HTML input
    .use(rehypeStringify) // Convert AST into serialized HTML
    .process('Hello, Next.js!')

  console.log(String(file)) // <p>Hello, Next.js!</p>
}
```

The `remark` and `rehype` ecosystem contains plugins for [syntax highlighting](https://github.com/atomiks/rehype-pretty-code), [linking headings](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-autolink-headings), [generating a table of contents](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-toc), and more.

When using `@next/mdx` as shown above, you **do not** need to use `remark` or `rehype` directly, as it is handled for you. We're describing it here for a deeper understanding of what the `@next/mdx` package is doing underneath.

## Using the Rust-based MDX compiler (experimental)

Next.js supports a new MDX compiler written in Rust. This compiler is still experimental and is not recommended for production use. To use the new compiler, you need to configure `next.config.js` when you pass it to `withMDX`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = withMDX({
  experimental: {
    mdxRs: true,
  },
})
```

`mdxRs` also accepts an object to configure how to transform mdx files.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = withMDX({
  experimental: {
    mdxRs: {
      jsxRuntime?: string            // Custom jsx runtime
      jsxImportSource?: string       // Custom jsx import source,
      mdxType?: 'gfm' | 'commonmark' // Configure what kind of mdx syntax will be used to parse & transform
    },
  },
})
```

# How to optimize memory usage
@doc-version: 16.0.4


As applications grow and become more feature rich, they can demand more resources when developing locally or creating production builds.

Let's explore some strategies and techniques to optimize memory and address common memory issues in Next.js.

## Reduce number of dependencies

Applications with a large amount of dependencies will use more memory.

The [Bundle Analyzer](/docs/app/guides/package-bundling.md) can help you investigate large dependencies in your application that may be able to be removed to improve performance and memory usage.

## Try `experimental.webpackMemoryOptimizations`

Starting in `v15.0.0`, you can add `experimental.webpackMemoryOptimizations: true` to your `next.config.js` file to change behavior in Webpack that reduces max memory usage but may increase compilation times by a slight amount.

> **Good to know**: This feature is currently experimental to test on more projects first, but it is considered to be low-risk.

## Run `next build` with `--experimental-debug-memory-usage`

Starting in `14.2.0`, you can run `next build --experimental-debug-memory-usage` to run the build in a mode where Next.js will print out information about memory usage continuously throughout the build, such as heap usage and garbage collection statistics. Heap snapshots will also be taken automatically when memory usage gets close to the configured limit.

> **Good to know**: This feature is not compatible with the Webpack build worker option which is auto-enabled unless you have custom webpack config.

## Record a heap profile

To look for memory issues, you can record a heap profile from Node.js and load it in Chrome DevTools to identify potential sources of memory leaks.

In your terminal, pass the `--heap-prof` flag to Node.js when starting your Next.js build:

```sh
node --heap-prof node_modules/next/dist/bin/next build
```

At the end of the build, a `.heapprofile` file will be created by Node.js.

In Chrome DevTools, you can open the Memory tab and click on the "Load Profile" button to visualize the file.

## Analyze a snapshot of the heap

You can use an inspector tool to analyze the memory usage of the application.

When running the `next build` or `next dev` command, add `NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect` to the beginning of the command. This will expose the inspector agent on the default port.
If you wish to break before any user code starts, you can pass `--inspect-brk` instead. While the process is running, you can use a tool such as Chrome DevTools to connect to the debugging port to record and analyze a snapshot of the heap to see what memory is being retained.

Starting in `14.2.0`, you can also run `next build` with the `--experimental-debug-memory-usage` flag to make it easier to take heap snapshots.

While running in this mode, you can send a `SIGUSR2` signal to the process at any point, and the process will take a heap snapshot.

The heap snapshot will be saved to the project root of the Next.js application and can be loaded in any heap analyzer, such as Chrome DevTools, to see what memory is retained. This mode is not yet compatible with Webpack build workers.

See [how to record and analyze heap snapshots](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/memory-problems/heap-snapshots) for more information.

## Webpack build worker

The Webpack build worker allows you to run Webpack compilations inside a separate Node.js worker which will decrease memory usage of your application during builds.

This option is enabled by default if your application does not have a custom Webpack configuration starting in `v14.1.0`.

If you are using an older version of Next.js or you have a custom Webpack configuration, you can enable this option by setting `experimental.webpackBuildWorker: true` inside your `next.config.js`.

> **Good to know**: This feature may not be compatible with all custom Webpack plugins.

## Disable Webpack cache

The [Webpack cache](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/cache/) saves generated Webpack modules in memory and/or to disk to improve the speed of builds. This can
help with performance, but it will also increase the memory usage of your application to store the cached data.

You can disable this behavior by adding a [custom Webpack configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/webpack.md) to your application:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  webpack: (
    config,
    { buildId, dev, isServer, defaultLoaders, nextRuntime, webpack }
  ) => {
    if (config.cache && !dev) {
      config.cache = Object.freeze({
        type: 'memory',
      })
    }
    // Important: return the modified config
    return config
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

## Disable static analysis

Typechecking may require a lot of memory, especially in large projects.
However, most projects have a dedicated CI runner that already handles these tasks.
When the build produces out-of-memory issues during the "Running TypeScript" step, you can disable this task during builds:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  typescript: {
    // !! WARN !!
    // Dangerously allow production builds to successfully complete even if
    // your project has type errors.
    // !! WARN !!
    ignoreBuildErrors: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

* [Ignoring TypeScript Errors](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md#disabling-typescript-errors-in-production)

Keep in mind that this may produce faulty deploys due to type errors.
We strongly recommend only promoting builds to production after static analysis has completed.
If you deploy to Vercel, you can check out the [guide for staging deployments](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/managing-deployments#staging-and-promoting-a-production-deployment) to learn how to promote builds to production after custom tasks have succeeded.

## Disable source maps

Generating source maps consumes extra memory during the build process.

You can disable source map generation by adding `productionBrowserSourceMaps: false` and `experimental.serverSourceMaps: false` to your Next.js configuration.

When using the `cacheComponents` feature, Next.js will use source maps by default during the prerender phase of `next build`.
If you consistently encounter memory issues during that phase (after "Generating static pages"),
you can try disabling source maps in that phase by adding `enablePrerenderSourceMaps: false` to your Next.js configuration.

> **Good to know**: Some plugins may turn on source maps and may require custom configuration to disable.

## Edge memory issues

Next.js `v14.1.3` fixed a memory issue when using the Edge runtime. Please update to this version (or later) to see if it addresses your issue.

## Preloading Entries

When the Next.js server starts, it preloads each page's JavaScript modules into memory, rather than at request time.

This optimization allows for faster response times, in exchange for a larger initial memory footprint.

To disable this optimization, set the `experimental.preloadEntriesOnStart` flag to `false`.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const config: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    preloadEntriesOnStart: false,
  },
}

export default config
```

```js filename="next.config.mjs" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const config = {
  experimental: {
    preloadEntriesOnStart: false,
  },
}

export default config
```

Next.js doesn't unload these JavaScript modules, meaning that even with this optimization disabled, the memory footprint of your Next.js server will eventually be the same if all pages are eventually requested.

# Metadata and OG images
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The Metadata APIs can be used to define your application metadata for improved SEO and web shareability and include:

1. [The static `metadata` object](#static-metadata)
2. [The dynamic `generateMetadata` function](#generated-metadata)
3. Special [file conventions](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata.md) that can be used to add static or dynamically generated [favicons](#favicons) and [OG images](#static-open-graph-images).

With all the options above, Next.js will automatically generate the relevant `<head>` tags for your page, which can be inspected in the browser's developer tools.

The `metadata` object and `generateMetadata` function exports are only supported in Server Components.

## Default fields

There are two default `meta` tags that are always added even if a route doesn't define metadata:

* The [meta charset tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta#attr-charset) sets the character encoding for the website.
* The [meta viewport tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Viewport_meta_tag) sets the viewport width and scale for the website to adjust for different devices.

```html
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
```

The other metadata fields can be defined with the `Metadata` object (for [static metadata](#static-metadata)) or the `generateMetadata` function (for [generated metadata](#generated-metadata)).

## Static metadata

To define static metadata, export a [`Metadata` object](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#metadata-object) from a static [`layout.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) or [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) file. For example, to add a title and description to the blog route:

```tsx filename="app/blog/layout.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'My Blog',
  description: '...',
}

export default function Layout() {}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/layout.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My Blog',
  description: '...',
}

export default function Layout() {}
```

You can view a full list of available options, in the [`generateMetadata` documentation](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#metadata-fields).

## Generated metadata

You can use [`generateMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md) function to `fetch` metadata that depends on data. For example, to fetch the title and description for a specific blog post:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata, ResolvingMetadata } from 'next'

type Props = {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}

export async function generateMetadata(
  { params, searchParams }: Props,
  parent: ResolvingMetadata
): Promise<Metadata> {
  const slug = (await params).slug

  // fetch post information
  const post = await fetch(`https://api.vercel.app/blog/${slug}`).then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )

  return {
    title: post.title,
    description: post.description,
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }: Props) {}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export async function generateMetadata({ params, searchParams }, parent) {
  const slug = (await params).slug

  // fetch post information
  const post = await fetch(`https://api.vercel.app/blog/${slug}`).then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )

  return {
    title: post.title,
    description: post.description,
  }
}

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {}
```

### Streaming metadata

For dynamically rendered pages, Next.js streams metadata separately, injecting it into the HTML once `generateMetadata` resolves, without blocking UI rendering.

Streaming metadata improves perceived performance by allowing visual content to stream first.

Streaming metadata is **disabled for bots and crawlers** that expect metadata to be in the `<head>` tag (e.g. `Twitterbot`, `Slackbot`, `Bingbot`). These are detected by using the User Agent header from the incoming request.

You can customize or **disable** streaming metadata completely, with the [`htmlLimitedBots`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/htmlLimitedBots.md#disabling) option in your Next.js config file.

Statically rendered pages don’t use streaming since metadata is resolved at build time.

Learn more about [streaming metadata](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md#streaming-metadata).

### Memoizing data requests

There may be cases where you need to fetch the **same** data for metadata and the page itself. To avoid duplicate requests, you can use React's [`cache` function](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache) to memoize the return value and only fetch the data once. For example, to fetch the blog post information for both the metadata and the page:

```ts filename="app/lib/data.ts" highlight={5} switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import { db } from '@/app/lib/db'

// getPost will be used twice, but execute only once
export const getPost = cache(async (slug: string) => {
  const res = await db.query.posts.findFirst({ where: eq(posts.slug, slug) })
  return res
})
```

```js filename="app/lib/data.js" highlight={5} switcher
import { cache } from 'react'
import { db } from '@/app/lib/db'

// getPost will be used twice, but execute only once
export const getPost = cache(async (slug) => {
  const res = await db.query.posts.findFirst({ where: eq(posts.slug, slug) })
  return res
})
```

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
import { getPost } from '@/app/lib/data'

export async function generateMetadata({
  params,
}: {
  params: { slug: string }
}) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)
  return {
    title: post.title,
    description: post.description,
  }
}

export default async function Page({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)
  return <div>{post.title}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
import { getPost } from '@/app/lib/data'

export async function generateMetadata({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)
  return {
    title: post.title,
    description: post.description,
  }
}

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)
  return <div>{post.title}</div>
}
```

## File-based metadata

The following special files are available for metadata:

* [favicon.ico, apple-icon.jpg, and icon.jpg](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md)
* [opengraph-image.jpg and twitter-image.jpg](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md)
* [robots.txt](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/robots.md)
* [sitemap.xml](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md)

You can use these for static metadata, or you can programmatically generate these files with code.

## Favicons

Favicons are small icons that represent your site in bookmarks and search results. To add a favicon to your application, create a `favicon.ico` and add to the root of the app folder.

![Favicon Special File inside the App Folder with sibling layout and page files](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/favicon-ico.png)

> You can also programmatically generate favicons using code. See the [favicon docs](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md) for more information.

## Static Open Graph images

Open Graph (OG) images are images that represent your site in social media. To add a static OG image to your application, create a `opengraph-image.jpg` file in the root of the app folder.

![OG image special file inside the App folder with sibling layout and page files](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/opengraph-image.png)

You can also add OG images for specific routes by creating a `opengraph-image.jpg` deeper down the folder structure. For example, to create an OG image specific to the `/blog` route, add a `opengraph-image.jpg` file inside the `blog` folder.

![OG image special file inside the blog folder](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/opengraph-image-blog.png)

The more specific image will take precedence over any OG images above it in the folder structure.

> Other image formats such as `jpeg`, `png`, and `gif` are also supported. See the [Open Graph Image docs](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md) for more information.

## Generated Open Graph images

The [`ImageResponse` constructor](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/image-response.md) allows you to generate dynamic images using JSX and CSS. This is useful for OG images that depend on data.

For example, to generate a unique OG image for each blog post, add a `opengraph-image.tsx` file inside the `blog` folder, and import the `ImageResponse` constructor from `next/og`:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { getPost } from '@/app/lib/data'

// Image metadata
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image({ params }: { params: { slug: string } }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        {post.title}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { getPost } from '@/app/lib/data'

// Image metadata
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.slug)

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        {post.title}
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

`ImageResponse` supports common CSS properties including flexbox and absolute positioning, custom fonts, text wrapping, centering, and nested images. [See the full list of supported CSS properties](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/image-response.md).

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Examples are available in the [Vercel OG Playground](https://og-playground.vercel.app/).
> * `ImageResponse` uses [`@vercel/og`](https://vercel.com/docs/og-image-generation), [`satori`](https://github.com/vercel/satori), and `resvg` to convert HTML and CSS into PNG.
> * Only flexbox and a subset of CSS properties are supported. Advanced layouts (e.g. `display: grid`) will not work.

# Metadata Files API Reference
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This section of the docs covers **Metadata file conventions**. File-based metadata can be defined by adding special metadata files to route segments.

Each file convention can be defined using a static file (e.g. `opengraph-image.jpg`), or a dynamic variant that uses code to generate the file (e.g. `opengraph-image.js`).

Once a file is defined, Next.js will automatically serve the file (with hashes in production for caching) and update the relevant head elements with the correct metadata, such as the asset's URL, file type, and image size.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Special Route Handlers like [`sitemap.ts`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md), [`opengraph-image.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md), and [`icon.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md), and other [metadata files](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata.md) are cached by default.
> * If using along with [`proxy.ts`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md), [configure the matcher](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#matcher) to exclude the metadata files.

# How to build micro-frontends using multi-zones and Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [With Zones](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-zones)

</details>

Multi-Zones are an approach to micro-frontends that separate a large application on a domain into smaller Next.js applications that each serve a set of paths. This is useful when there are collections of pages unrelated to the other pages in the application. By moving those pages to a separate zone (i.e., a separate application), you can reduce the size of each application which improves build times and removes code that is only necessary for one of the zones. Since applications are decoupled, Multi-Zones also allows other applications on the domain to use their own choice of framework.

For example, let's say you have the following set of pages that you would like to split up:

* `/blog/*` for all blog posts
* `/dashboard/*` for all pages when the user is logged-in to the dashboard
* `/*` for the rest of your website not covered by other zones

With Multi-Zones support, you can create three applications that all are served on the same domain and look the same to the user, but you can develop and deploy each of the applications independently.

![Three zones: A, B, C. Showing a hard navigation between routes from different zones, and soft navigations between routes within the same zone.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/multi-zones.png)

Navigating between pages in the same zone will perform soft navigations, a navigation that does not require reloading the page. For example, in this diagram, navigating from `/` to `/products` will be a soft navigation.

Navigating from a page in one zone to a page in another zone, such as from `/` to `/dashboard`, will perform a hard navigation, unloading the resources of the current page and loading the resources of the new page. Pages that are frequently visited together should live in the same zone to avoid hard navigations.

## How to define a zone

A zone is a normal Next.js application where you also configure an [assetPrefix](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/assetPrefix.md) to avoid conflicts with pages and static files in other zones.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  assetPrefix: '/blog-static',
}
```

Next.js assets, such as JavaScript and CSS, will be prefixed with `assetPrefix` to make sure that they don't conflict with assets from other zones. These assets will be served under `/assetPrefix/_next/...` for each of the zones.

The default application handling all paths not routed to another more specific zone does not need an `assetPrefix`.

In versions older than Next.js 15, you may also need an additional rewrite to handle the static assets. This is no longer necessary in Next.js 15.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  assetPrefix: '/blog-static',
  async rewrites() {
    return {
      beforeFiles: [
        {
          source: '/blog-static/_next/:path+',
          destination: '/_next/:path+',
        },
      ],
    }
  },
}
```

## How to route requests to the right zone

With the Multi Zones set-up, you need to route the paths to the correct zone since they are served by different applications. You can use any HTTP proxy to do this, but one of the Next.js applications can also be used to route requests for the entire domain.

To route to the correct zone using a Next.js application, you can use [`rewrites`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md). For each path served by a different zone, you would add a rewrite rule to send that path to the domain of the other zone, and you also need to rewrite the requests for the static assets. For example:

```js filename="next.config.js"
async rewrites() {
    return [
        {
            source: '/blog',
            destination: `${process.env.BLOG_DOMAIN}/blog`,
        },
        {
            source: '/blog/:path+',
            destination: `${process.env.BLOG_DOMAIN}/blog/:path+`,
        },
        {
            source: '/blog-static/:path+',
            destination: `${process.env.BLOG_DOMAIN}/blog-static/:path+`,
        }
    ];
}
```

`destination` should be a URL that is served by the zone, including scheme and domain. This should point to the zone's production domain, but it can also be used to route requests to `localhost` in local development.

> **Good to know**: URL paths should be unique to a zone. For example, two zones trying to serve `/blog` would create a routing conflict.

### Routing requests using proxy

Routing requests through [`rewrites`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) is recommended to minimize latency overhead for the requests, but proxy can also be used when there is a need for a dynamic decision when routing. For example, if you are using a feature flag to decide where a path should be routed such as during a migration, you can use proxy.

```js filename="proxy.js"
export async function proxy(request) {
  const { pathname, search } = req.nextUrl;
  if (pathname === '/your-path' && myFeatureFlag.isEnabled()) {
    return NextResponse.rewrite(`${rewriteDomain}${pathname}${search});
  }
}
```

## Linking between zones

Links to paths in a different zone should use an `a` tag instead of the Next.js [`<Link>`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md) component. This is because Next.js will try to prefetch and soft navigate to any relative path in `<Link>` component, which will not work across zones.

## Sharing code

The Next.js applications that make up the different zones can live in any repository. However, it is often convenient to put these zones in a [monorepo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorepo) to more easily share code. For zones that live in different repositories, code can also be shared using public or private NPM packages.

Since the pages in different zones may be released at different times, feature flags can be useful for enabling or disabling features in unison across the different zones.

## Server Actions

When using [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) with Multi-Zones, you must explicitly allow the user-facing origin since your user facing domain may serve multiple applications. In your `next.config.js` file, add the following lines:

```js filename="next.config.js"
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: {
      allowedOrigins: ['your-production-domain.com'],
    },
  },
}
```

See [`serverActions.allowedOrigins`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverActions.md#allowedorigins) for more information.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md

# next.config.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js can be configured through a `next.config.js` file in the root of your project directory (for example, by `package.json`) with a default export.

```js filename="next.config.js"
// @ts-check

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  /* config options here */
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## ECMAScript Modules

`next.config.js` is a regular Node.js module, not a JSON file. It gets used by the Next.js server and build phases, and it's not included in the browser build.

If you need [ECMAScript modules](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html), you can use `next.config.mjs`:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
// @ts-check

/**
 * @type {import('next').NextConfig}
 */
const nextConfig = {
  /* config options here */
}

export default nextConfig
```

> **Good to know**: `next.config` with the `.cjs` or `.cts` extensions are currently **not** supported.

## Configuration as a Function

You can also use a function:

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
// @ts-check

export default (phase, { defaultConfig }) => {
  /**
   * @type {import('next').NextConfig}
   */
  const nextConfig = {
    /* config options here */
  }
  return nextConfig
}
```

### Async Configuration

Since Next.js 12.1.0, you can use an async function:

```js filename="next.config.js"
// @ts-check

module.exports = async (phase, { defaultConfig }) => {
  /**
   * @type {import('next').NextConfig}
   */
  const nextConfig = {
    /* config options here */
  }
  return nextConfig
}
```

### Phase

`phase` is the current context in which the configuration is loaded. You can see the [available phases](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/5e6b008b561caf2710ab7be63320a3d549474a5b/packages/next/shared/lib/constants.ts#L19-L23). Phases can be imported from `next/constants`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
// @ts-check

const { PHASE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER } = require('next/constants')

module.exports = (phase, { defaultConfig }) => {
  if (phase === PHASE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER) {
    return {
      /* development only config options here */
    }
  }

  return {
    /* config options for all phases except development here */
  }
}
```

## TypeScript

If you are using TypeScript in your project, you can use `next.config.ts` to use TypeScript in your configuration:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  /* config options here */
}

export default nextConfig
```

The commented lines are the place where you can put the configs allowed by `next.config.js`, which are [defined in this file](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/server/config-shared.ts).

However, none of the configs are required, and it's not necessary to understand what each config does. Instead, search for the features you need to enable or modify in this section and they will show you what to do.

> Avoid using new JavaScript features not available in your target Node.js version. `next.config.js` will not be parsed by Webpack or Babel.

This page documents all the available configuration options:

## Unit Testing (experimental)

Starting in Next.js 15.1, the `next/experimental/testing/server` package contains utilities to help unit test `next.config.js` files.

The `unstable_getResponseFromNextConfig` function runs the [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md), [`redirects`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md), and [`rewrites`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) functions from `next.config.js` with the provided request information and returns `NextResponse` with the results of the routing.

> The response from `unstable_getResponseFromNextConfig` only considers `next.config.js` fields and does not consider proxy or filesystem routes, so the result in production may be different than the unit test.

```js
import {
  getRedirectUrl,
  unstable_getResponseFromNextConfig,
} from 'next/experimental/testing/server'

const response = await unstable_getResponseFromNextConfig({
  url: 'https://nextjs.org/test',
  nextConfig: {
    async redirects() {
      return [{ source: '/test', destination: '/test2', permanent: false }]
    },
  },
})
expect(response.status).toEqual(307)
expect(getRedirectUrl(response)).toEqual('https://nextjs.org/test2')

# NextRequest
@doc-version: 16.0.4


NextRequest extends the [Web Request API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) with additional convenience methods.

## `cookies`

Read or mutate the [`Set-Cookie`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie) header of the request.

### `set(name, value)`

Given a name, set a cookie with the given value on the request.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// Set a cookie to hide the banner
// request will have a `Set-Cookie:show-banner=false;path=/home` header
request.cookies.set('show-banner', 'false')
```

### `get(name)`

Given a cookie name, return the value of the cookie. If the cookie is not found, `undefined` is returned. If multiple cookies are found, the first one is returned.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// { name: 'show-banner', value: 'false', Path: '/home' }
request.cookies.get('show-banner')
```

### `getAll()`

Given a cookie name, return the values of the cookie. If no name is given, return all cookies on the request.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
// [
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'new-pricing-page', Path: '/home' },
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'winter-launch', Path: '/home' },
// ]
request.cookies.getAll('experiments')
// Alternatively, get all cookies for the request
request.cookies.getAll()
```

### `delete(name)`

Given a cookie name, delete the cookie from the request.

```ts
// Returns true for deleted, false is nothing is deleted
request.cookies.delete('experiments')
```

### `has(name)`

Given a cookie name, return `true` if the cookie exists on the request.

```ts
// Returns true if cookie exists, false if it does not
request.cookies.has('experiments')
```

### `clear()`

Remove the `Set-Cookie` header from the request.

```ts
request.cookies.clear()
```

## `nextUrl`

Extends the native [`URL`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL) API with additional convenience methods, including Next.js specific properties.

```ts
// Given a request to /home, pathname is /home
request.nextUrl.pathname
// Given a request to /home?name=lee, searchParams is { 'name': 'lee' }
request.nextUrl.searchParams
```

The following options are available:

| Property       | Type                    | Description                                                                                                                          |
| -------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `basePath`     | `string`                | The [base path](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md) of the URL.                                                  |
| `buildId`      | `string` | `undefined` | The build identifier of the Next.js application. Can be [customized](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/generateBuildId.md). |
| `pathname`     | `string`                | The pathname of the URL.                                                                                                             |
| `searchParams` | `Object`                | The search parameters of the URL.                                                                                                    |

> **Note:** The internationalization properties from the Pages Router are not available for usage in the App Router. Learn more about [internationalization with the App Router](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md).

## Version History

# NextResponse
@doc-version: 16.0.4


NextResponse extends the [Web Response API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Response) with additional convenience methods.

## `cookies`

Read or mutate the [`Set-Cookie`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie) header of the response.

### `set(name, value)`

Given a name, set a cookie with the given value on the response.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
let response = NextResponse.next()
// Set a cookie to hide the banner
response.cookies.set('show-banner', 'false')
// Response will have a `Set-Cookie:show-banner=false;path=/home` header
return response
```

### `get(name)`

Given a cookie name, return the value of the cookie. If the cookie is not found, `undefined` is returned. If multiple cookies are found, the first one is returned.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
let response = NextResponse.next()
// { name: 'show-banner', value: 'false', Path: '/home' }
response.cookies.get('show-banner')
```

### `getAll()`

Given a cookie name, return the values of the cookie. If no name is given, return all cookies on the response.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
let response = NextResponse.next()
// [
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'new-pricing-page', Path: '/home' },
//   { name: 'experiments', value: 'winter-launch', Path: '/home' },
// ]
response.cookies.getAll('experiments')
// Alternatively, get all cookies for the response
response.cookies.getAll()
```

### `delete(name)`

Given a cookie name, delete the cookie from the response.

```ts
// Given incoming request /home
let response = NextResponse.next()
// Returns true for deleted, false if nothing is deleted
response.cookies.delete('experiments')
```

## `json()`

Produce a response with the given JSON body.

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Internal Server Error' }, { status: 500 })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request) {
  return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Internal Server Error' }, { status: 500 })
}
```

## `redirect()`

Produce a response that redirects to a [URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL).

```ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/new', request.url))
```

The [URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL) can be created and modified before being used in the `NextResponse.redirect()` method. For example, you can use the `request.nextUrl` property to get the current URL, and then modify it to redirect to a different URL.

```ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// Given an incoming request...
const loginUrl = new URL('/login', request.url)
// Add ?from=/incoming-url to the /login URL
loginUrl.searchParams.set('from', request.nextUrl.pathname)
// And redirect to the new URL
return NextResponse.redirect(loginUrl)
```

## `rewrite()`

Produce a response that rewrites (proxies) the given [URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL) while preserving the original URL.

```ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// Incoming request: /about, browser shows /about
// Rewritten request: /proxy, browser shows /about
return NextResponse.rewrite(new URL('/proxy', request.url))
```

## `next()`

The `next()` method is useful for Proxy, as it allows you to return early and continue routing.

```ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

return NextResponse.next()
```

You can also forward `headers` upstream when producing the response, using `NextResponse.next({ request: { headers } })`:

```ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// Given an incoming request...
const newHeaders = new Headers(request.headers)
// Add a new header
newHeaders.set('x-version', '123')
// Forward the modified request headers upstream
return NextResponse.next({
  request: {
    // New request headers
    headers: newHeaders,
  },
})
```

This forwards `newHeaders` upstream to the target page, route, or server action, and does not expose them to the client. While this pattern is useful for passing data upstream, it should be used with caution because the headers containing this data may be forwarded to external services.

In contrast, `NextResponse.next({ headers })` is a shorthand for sending headers from proxy to the client. This is **NOT** good practice and should be avoided. Among other reasons because setting response headers like `Content-Type`, can override framework expectations (for example, the `Content-Type` used by Server Actions), leading to failed submissions or broken streaming responses.

```ts
import { type NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

async function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const headers = await injectAuth(request.headers)
  // DO NOT forward headers like this
  return NextResponse.next({ headers })
}
```

In general, avoid copying all incoming request headers because doing so can leak sensitive data to clients or upstream services.

Prefer a defensive approach by creating a subset of incoming request headers using an allow-list. For example, you might discard custom `x-*` headers and only forward known-safe headers:

```ts
import { type NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const incoming = new Headers(request.headers)
  const forwarded = new Headers()

  for (const [name, value] of incoming) {
    const headerName = name.toLowerCase()
    // Keep only known-safe headers, discard custom x-* and other sensitive ones
    if (
      !headerName.startsWith('x-') &&
      headerName !== 'authorization' &&
      headerName !== 'cookie'
    ) {
      // Preserve original header name casing
      forwarded.set(name, value)
    }
  }

  return NextResponse.next({
    request: {
      headers: forwarded,
    },
  })
}
```

### `next build` options

`next build` creates an optimized production build of your application. The output displays information about each route. For example:

```bash filename="Terminal"
Route (app)
┌ ○ /_not-found
└ ƒ /products/[id]

○  (Static)   prerendered as static content
ƒ  (Dynamic)  server-rendered on demand
```

### `next start` options

`next start` starts the application in production mode. The application should be compiled with [`next build`](#next-build-options) first.

The following options are available for the `next start` command:

| Option                                  | Description                                                                                                     |

| `[directory]`                           | A directory on which to start the application. If no directory is provided, the current directory will be used. |
| `-p` or `--port <port>`                 | Specify a port number on which to start the application. (default: 3000, env: PORT)                             |
| `-H` or `--hostname <hostname>`         | Specify a hostname on which to start the application (default: 0.0.0.0).                                        |
| `--keepAliveTimeout <keepAliveTimeout>` | Specify the maximum amount of milliseconds to wait before closing the inactive connections.                     |

### `next info` options

`next info` prints relevant details about the current system which can be used to report Next.js bugs when opening a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues). This information includes Operating System platform/arch/version, Binaries (Node.js, npm, Yarn, pnpm), package versions (`next`, `react`, `react-dom`), and more.

The output should look like this:

```bash filename="Terminal"
Operating System:
  Platform: darwin
  Arch: arm64
  Version: Darwin Kernel Version 23.6.0
  Available memory (MB): 65536
  Available CPU cores: 10
Binaries:
  Node: 20.12.0
  npm: 10.5.0
  Yarn: 1.22.19
  pnpm: 9.6.0
Relevant Packages:
  next: 15.0.0-canary.115 // Latest available version is detected (15.0.0-canary.115).
  eslint-config-next: 14.2.5
  react: 19.0.0-rc
  react-dom: 19.0.0
  typescript: 5.5.4
Next.js Config:
  output: N/A
```

The following options are available for the `next info` command:

| Option           | Description                                    |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `-h` or `--help` | Show all available options                     |
| `--verbose`      | Collects additional information for debugging. |

### `next telemetry` options

Next.js collects **completely anonymous** telemetry data about general usage. Participation in this anonymous program is optional, and you can opt-out if you prefer not to share information.

The following options are available for the `next telemetry` command:

| Option       | Description                             |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| `-h, --help` | Show all available options.             |
| `--enable`   | Enables Next.js' telemetry collection.  |
| `--disable`  | Disables Next.js' telemetry collection. |

Learn more about [Telemetry](/telemetry).

### `next typegen` options

`next typegen` generates TypeScript definitions for your application's routes without performing a full build. This is useful for IDE autocomplete and CI type-checking of route usage.

Previously, route types were only generated during `next dev` or `next build`, which meant running `tsc --noEmit` directly wouldn't validate your route types. Now you can generate types independently and validate them externally:

```bash filename="Terminal"
# Generate route types first, then validate with TypeScript
next typegen && tsc --noEmit

# Or in CI workflows for type checking without building
next typegen && npm run type-check
```

The following options are available for the `next typegen` command:

| Option        | Description                                                                                  |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-h, --help`  | Show all available options.                                                                  |
| `[directory]` | A directory on which to generate types. If not provided, the current directory will be used. |

Output files are written to `<distDir>/types` (typically: `.next/dev/types` or `.next/types`, see [`isolatedDevBuild`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/isolatedDevBuild.md)):

```bash filename="Terminal"
next typegen
# or for a specific app
next typegen ./apps/web
```

Additionally, `next typegen` generates a `next-env.d.ts` file. We recommend adding `next-env.d.ts` to your `.gitignore` file.

The `next-env.d.ts` file is included into your `tsconfig.json` file, to make Next.js types available to your project.

To ensure `next-env.d.ts` is present before type-checking run `next typegen`. The commands `next dev` and `next build` also generate the `next-env.d.ts` file, but it is often undesirable to run these just to type-check, for example in CI/CD environments.

> **Good to know**: `next typegen` loads your Next.js config (`next.config.js`, `next.config.mjs`, or `next.config.ts`) using the production build phase. Ensure any required environment variables and dependencies are available so the config can load correctly.

## `next upgrade` options

`next upgrade` upgrades your Next.js application to the latest version.

The following options are available for the `next upgrade` command:

| Option                  | Description                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-h, --help`            | Show all available options.                                                                                                                        |
| `[directory]`           | A directory with the Next.js application to upgrade. If not provided, the current directory will be used.                                          |
| `--revision <revision>` | Specify a Next.js version or tag to upgrade to (e.g., `latest`, `canary`, `15.0.0`). Defaults to the release channel you have currently installed. |
| `--verbose`             | Show verbose output during the upgrade process.                                                                                                    |

## Examples

### Debugging prerender errors

If you encounter prerendering errors during `next build`, you can pass the `--debug-prerender` flag to get more detailed output:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next build --debug-prerender
```

This enables several experimental options to make debugging easier:

* Disables server code minification:
  * `experimental.serverMinification = false`
  * `experimental.turbopackMinify = false`
* Generates source maps for server bundles:
  * `experimental.serverSourceMaps = true`
* Enables source map consumption in child processes used for prerendering:
  * `enablePrerenderSourceMaps = true`
* Continues building even after the first prerender error, so you can see all issues at once:
  * `experimental.prerenderEarlyExit = false`

This helps surface more readable stack traces and code frames in the build output.

> **Warning**: `--debug-prerender` is for debugging in development only. Do not deploy builds generated with `--debug-prerender` to production, as it may impact performance.

### Building specific routes

You can build only specific routes in the App and Pages Routers using the `--debug-build-paths` option. This is useful for faster debugging when working with large applications. The `--debug-build-paths` option accepts comma-separated file paths and supports glob patterns:

```bash filename="Terminal"
# Build a specific route
next build --debug-build-paths="app/page.tsx"

# Build more than one route
next build --debug-build-paths="app/page.tsx,pages/index.tsx"

# Use glob patterns
next build --debug-build-paths="app/**/page.tsx"
next build --debug-build-paths="pages/*.tsx"
```

### Changing the default port

By default, Next.js uses `http://localhost:3000` during development and with `next start`. The default port can be changed with the `-p` option, like so:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next dev -p 4000
```

Or using the `PORT` environment variable:

```bash filename="Terminal"
PORT=4000 next dev
```

> **Good to know**: `PORT` cannot be set in `.env` as booting up the HTTP server happens before any other code is initialized.

### Using HTTPS during development

For certain use cases like webhooks or authentication, you can use [HTTPS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/HTTPS) to have a secure environment on `localhost`. Next.js can generate a self-signed certificate with `next dev` using the `--experimental-https` flag:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next dev --experimental-https
```

With the generated certificate, the Next.js development server will exist at `https://localhost:3000`. The default port `3000` is used unless a port is specified with `-p`, `--port`, or `PORT`.

You can also provide a custom certificate and key with `--experimental-https-key` and `--experimental-https-cert`. Optionally, you can provide a custom CA certificate with `--experimental-https-ca` as well.

```bash filename="Terminal"
next dev --experimental-https --experimental-https-key ./certificates/localhost-key.pem --experimental-https-cert ./certificates/localhost.pem
```

`next dev --experimental-https` is only intended for development and creates a locally trusted certificate with [`mkcert`](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert). In production, use properly issued certificates from trusted authorities.

### Configuring a timeout for downstream proxies

When deploying Next.js behind a downstream proxy (e.g. a load-balancer like AWS ELB/ALB), it's important to configure Next's underlying HTTP server with [keep-alive timeouts](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_server_keepalivetimeout) that are *larger* than the downstream proxy's timeouts. Otherwise, once a keep-alive timeout is reached for a given TCP connection, Node.js will immediately terminate that connection without notifying the downstream proxy. This results in a proxy error whenever it attempts to reuse a connection that Node.js has already terminated.

To configure the timeout values for the production Next.js server, pass `--keepAliveTimeout` (in milliseconds) to `next start`, like so:

```bash filename="Terminal"
next start --keepAliveTimeout 70000
```

### Passing Node.js arguments

You can pass any [node arguments](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_node_options_options) to `next` commands. For example:

```bash filename="Terminal"
NODE_OPTIONS='--throw-deprecation' next
NODE_OPTIONS='-r esm' next
NODE_OPTIONS='--inspect' next
```

@doc-version: 16.0.4


The Next.js Compiler, written in Rust using [SWC](https://swc.rs/), allows Next.js to transform and minify your JavaScript code for production. This replaces Babel for individual files and Terser for minifying output bundles.

Compilation using the Next.js Compiler is 17x faster than Babel and enabled by default since Next.js version 12. If you have an existing Babel configuration or are using [unsupported features](#unsupported-features), your application will opt-out of the Next.js Compiler and continue using Babel.

## Why SWC?

[SWC](https://swc.rs/) is an extensible Rust-based platform for the next generation of fast developer tools.

SWC can be used for compilation, minification, bundling, and more – and is designed to be extended. It's something you can call to perform code transformations (either built-in or custom). Running those transformations happens through higher-level tools like Next.js.

We chose to build on SWC for a few reasons:

* **Extensibility:** SWC can be used as a Crate inside Next.js, without having to fork the library or workaround design constraints.
* **Performance:** We were able to achieve ~3x faster Fast Refresh and ~5x faster builds in Next.js by switching to SWC, with more room for optimization still in progress.
* **WebAssembly:** Rust's support for WASM is essential for supporting all possible platforms and taking Next.js development everywhere.
* **Community:** The Rust community and ecosystem are amazing and still growing.

## Supported Features

### Styled Components

We're working to port `babel-plugin-styled-components` to the Next.js Compiler.

First, update to the latest version of Next.js: `npm install next@latest`. Then, update your `next.config.js` file:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    styledComponents: true,
  },
}
```

For advanced use cases, you can configure individual properties for styled-components compilation.

> Note: `ssr` and `displayName` transforms are the main requirement for using `styled-components` in Next.js.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    // see https://styled-components.com/docs/tooling#babel-plugin for more info on the options.
    styledComponents: {
      // Enabled by default in development, disabled in production to reduce file size,
      // setting this will override the default for all environments.
      displayName?: boolean,
      // Enabled by default.
      ssr?: boolean,
      // Enabled by default.
      fileName?: boolean,
      // Empty by default.
      topLevelImportPaths?: string[],
      // Defaults to ["index"].
      meaninglessFileNames?: string[],
      // Enabled by default.
      minify?: boolean,
      // Enabled by default.
      transpileTemplateLiterals?: boolean,
      // Empty by default.
      namespace?: string,
      // Disabled by default.
      pure?: boolean,
      // Enabled by default.
      cssProp?: boolean,
    },
  },
}
```

### Jest

The Next.js Compiler transpiles your tests and simplifies configuring Jest together with Next.js including:

* Auto mocking of `.css`, `.module.css` (and their `.scss` variants), and image imports
* Automatically sets up `transform` using SWC
* Loading `.env` (and all variants) into `process.env`
* Ignores `node_modules` from test resolving and transforms
* Ignoring `.next` from test resolving
* Loads `next.config.js` for flags that enable experimental SWC transforms

First, update to the latest version of Next.js: `npm install next@latest`. Then, update your `jest.config.js` file:

```js filename="jest.config.js"
const nextJest = require('next/jest')

// Providing the path to your Next.js app which will enable loading next.config.js and .env files
const createJestConfig = nextJest({ dir: './' })

// Any custom config you want to pass to Jest
const customJestConfig = {
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.js'],
}

// createJestConfig is exported in this way to ensure that next/jest can load the Next.js configuration, which is async
module.exports = createJestConfig(customJestConfig)
```

### Relay

To enable [Relay](https://relay.dev/) support:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    relay: {
      // This should match relay.config.js
      src: './',
      artifactDirectory: './__generated__',
      language: 'typescript',
      eagerEsModules: false,
    },
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: In Next.js, all JavaScript files in `pages` directory are considered routes. So, for `relay-compiler` you'll need to specify `artifactDirectory` configuration settings outside of the `pages`, otherwise `relay-compiler` will generate files next to the source file in the `__generated__` directory, and this file will be considered a route, which will break production builds.

### Remove React Properties

Allows to remove JSX properties. This is often used for testing. Similar to `babel-plugin-react-remove-properties`.

To remove properties matching the default regex `^data-test`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    reactRemoveProperties: true,
  },
}
```

To remove custom properties:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    // The regexes defined here are processed in Rust so the syntax is different from
    // JavaScript `RegExp`s. See https://docs.rs/regex.
    reactRemoveProperties: { properties: ['^data-custom$'] },
  },
}
```

### Remove Console

This transform allows for removing all `console.*` calls in application code (not `node_modules`). Similar to `babel-plugin-transform-remove-console`.

Remove all `console.*` calls:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    removeConsole: true,
  },
}
```

Remove `console.*` output except `console.error`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    removeConsole: {
      exclude: ['error'],
    },
  },
}
```

### Legacy Decorators

Next.js will automatically detect `experimentalDecorators` in `jsconfig.json` or `tsconfig.json`. Legacy decorators are commonly used with older versions of libraries like `mobx`.

This flag is only supported for compatibility with existing applications. We do not recommend using legacy decorators in new applications.

First, update to the latest version of Next.js: `npm install next@latest`. Then, update your `jsconfig.json` or `tsconfig.json` file:

```js
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  }
}
```

### importSource

Next.js will automatically detect `jsxImportSource` in `jsconfig.json` or `tsconfig.json` and apply that. This is commonly used with libraries like [Theme UI](https://theme-ui.com).

First, update to the latest version of Next.js: `npm install next@latest`. Then, update your `jsconfig.json` or `tsconfig.json` file:

```js
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsxImportSource": "theme-ui"
  }
}
```

### Emotion

We're working to port `@emotion/babel-plugin` to the Next.js Compiler.

First, update to the latest version of Next.js: `npm install next@latest`. Then, update your `next.config.js` file:

```js filename="next.config.js"

module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    emotion: boolean | {
      // default is true. It will be disabled when build type is production.
      sourceMap?: boolean,
      // default is 'dev-only'.
      autoLabel?: 'never' | 'dev-only' | 'always',
      // default is '[local]'.
      // Allowed values: `[local]` `[filename]` and `[dirname]`
      // This option only works when autoLabel is set to 'dev-only' or 'always'.
      // It allows you to define the format of the resulting label.
      // The format is defined via string where variable parts are enclosed in square brackets [].
      // For example labelFormat: "my-classname--[local]", where [local] will be replaced with the name of the variable the result is assigned to.
      labelFormat?: string,
      // default is undefined.
      // This option allows you to tell the compiler what imports it should
      // look at to determine what it should transform so if you re-export
      // Emotion's exports, you can still use transforms.
      importMap?: {
        [packageName: string]: {
          [exportName: string]: {
            canonicalImport?: [string, string],
            styledBaseImport?: [string, string],
          }
        }
      },
    },
  },
}
```

### Minification

Next.js' swc compiler is used for minification by default since v13. This is 7x faster than Terser.

> **Good to know:** Starting with v15, minification cannot be customized using `next.config.js`. Support for the `swcMinify` flag has been removed.

### Module Transpilation

Next.js can automatically transpile and bundle dependencies from local packages (like monorepos) or from external dependencies (`node_modules`). This replaces the `next-transpile-modules` package.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  transpilePackages: ['@acme/ui', 'lodash-es'],
}
```

### Modularize Imports

This option has been superseded by [`optimizePackageImports`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/optimizePackageImports.md) in Next.js 13.5. We recommend upgrading to use the new option that does not require manual configuration of import paths.

### Define (Replacing variables during build)

The `define` option allows you to statically replace variables in your code at build-time.
The option takes an object as key-value pairs, where the keys are the variables that should be replaced with the corresponding values.

Use the `compiler.define` field in `next.config.js` to define variables for all environments (server, edge, and client). Or, use `compiler.defineServer` to define variables only for server-side (server and edge) code:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    define: {
      MY_VARIABLE: 'my-string',
      'process.env.MY_ENV_VAR': 'my-env-var',
    },
    defineServer: {
      MY_SERVER_VARIABLE: 'my-server-var',
    },
  },
}
```

### Build Lifecycle Hooks

The Next.js Compiler supports lifecycle hooks that allow you to run custom code at specific points during the build process. Currently, the following hook is supported:

#### runAfterProductionCompile

A hook function that executes after production build compilation finishes, but before running post-compilation tasks such as type checking and static page generation. This hook provides access to project metadata including the project directory and build output directory, making it useful for third-party tools to collect build outputs like sourcemaps.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  compiler: {
    runAfterProductionCompile: async ({ distDir, projectDir }) => {
      // Your custom code here
    },
  },
}
```

The hook receives an object with the following properties:

* `distDir`: The build output directory (defaults to `.next`)
* `projectDir`: The root directory of the project

## Experimental Features

### SWC Trace profiling

You can generate SWC's internal transform traces as chromium's [trace event format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CvAClvFfyA5R-PhYUmn5OOQtYMH4h6I0nSsKchNAySU/preview?mode=html#%21=).

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    swcTraceProfiling: true,
  },
}
```

Once enabled, swc will generate trace named as `swc-trace-profile-${timestamp}.json` under `.next/`. Chromium's trace viewer (chrome://tracing/, https://ui.perfetto.dev/), or compatible flamegraph viewer (https://www.speedscope.app/) can load & visualize generated traces.

### SWC Plugins (experimental)

You can configure swc's transform to use SWC's experimental plugin support written in wasm to customize transformation behavior.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    swcPlugins: [
      [
        'plugin',
        {
          ...pluginOptions,
        },
      ],
    ],
  },
}
```

`swcPlugins` accepts an array of tuples for configuring plugins. A tuple for the plugin contains the path to the plugin and an object for plugin configuration. The path to the plugin can be an npm module package name or an absolute path to the `.wasm` binary itself.

## Unsupported Features

When your application has a `.babelrc` file, Next.js will automatically fall back to using Babel for transforming individual files. This ensures backwards compatibility with existing applications that leverage custom Babel plugins.

If you're using a custom Babel setup, [please share your configuration](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/30174). We're working to port as many commonly used Babel transformations as possible, as well as supporting plugins in the future.

# not-found.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js provides two conventions to handle not found cases:

* **`not-found.js`**: Used when you call the [`notFound`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) function in a route segment.
* **`global-not-found.js`**: Used to define a global 404 page for unmatched routes across your entire app. This is handled at the routing level and doesn't depend on rendering a layout or page.

## `not-found.js`

The **not-found** file is used to render UI when the [`notFound`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) function is thrown within a route segment. Along with serving a custom UI, Next.js will return a `200` HTTP status code for streamed responses, and `404` for non-streamed responses.

```tsx filename="app/not-found.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function NotFound() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Not Found</h2>
      <p>Could not find requested resource</p>
      <Link href="/">Return Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/not-found.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function NotFound() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Not Found</h2>
      <p>Could not find requested resource</p>
      <Link href="/">Return Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## `global-not-found.js` (experimental)

The `global-not-found.js` file lets you define a 404 page for your entire application. Unlike `not-found.js`, which works at the route level, this is used when a requested URL doesn't match any route at all. Next.js **skips rendering** and directly returns this global page.

The `global-not-found.js` file bypasses your app's normal rendering, which means you'll need to import any global styles, fonts, or other dependencies that your 404 page requires.

> **Good to know**: A smaller version of your global styles, and a simpler font family could improve performance of this page.

`global-not-found.js` is useful when you can't build a 404 page using a combination of `layout.js` and `not-found.js`. This can happen in two cases:

* Your app has multiple root layouts (e.g. `app/(admin)/layout.tsx` and `app/(shop)/layout.tsx`), so there's no single layout to compose a global 404 from.
* Your root layout is defined using top-level dynamic segments (e.g. `app/[country]/layout.tsx`), which makes composing a consistent 404 page harder.

To enable it, add the `globalNotFound` flag in `next.config.ts`:

```tsx filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    globalNotFound: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

Then, create a file in the root of the `app` directory: `app/global-not-found.js`:

```tsx filename="app/global-not-found.tsx" switcher
// Import global styles and fonts
import './globals.css'
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] })

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: '404 - Page Not Found',
  description: 'The page you are looking for does not exist.',
}

export default function GlobalNotFound() {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={inter.className}>
      <body>
        <h1>404 - Page Not Found</h1>
        <p>This page does not exist.</p>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/global-not-found.js" switcher
// Import global styles and fonts
import './globals.css'
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'

const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] })

export const metadata = {
  title: '404 - Page Not Found',
  description: 'The page you are looking for does not exist.',
}

export default function GlobalNotFound() {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={inter.className}>
      <body>
        <h1>404 - Page Not Found</h1>
        <p>This page does not exist.</p>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Unlike `not-found.js`, this file must return a full HTML document, including `<html>` and `<body>` tags.

## Reference

### Props

`not-found.js` or `global-not-found.js` components do not accept any props.

> **Good to know**: In addition to catching expected `notFound()` errors, the root `app/not-found.js` and `app/global-not-found.js` files handle any unmatched URLs for your whole application. This means users that visit a URL that is not handled by your app will be shown the exported UI.

## Examples

### Data Fetching

By default, `not-found` is a Server Component. You can mark it as `async` to fetch and display data:

```tsx filename="app/not-found.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function NotFound() {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const domain = headersList.get('host')
  const data = await getSiteData(domain)
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Not Found: {data.name}</h2>
      <p>Could not find requested resource</p>
      <p>
        View <Link href="/blog">all posts</Link>
      </p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/not-found.jsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export default async function NotFound() {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const domain = headersList.get('host')
  const data = await getSiteData(domain)
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Not Found: {data.name}</h2>
      <p>Could not find requested resource</p>
      <p>
        View <Link href="/blog">all posts</Link>
      </p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

If you need to use Client Component hooks like `usePathname` to display content based on the path, you must fetch data on the client-side instead.

### Metadata

For `global-not-found.js`, you can export a `metadata` object or a [`generateMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata.md) function to customize the `<title>`, `<meta>`, and other head tags for your 404 page:

> **Good to know**: Next.js automatically injects `<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />` for pages that return a 404 status code, including `global-not-found.js` pages.

```tsx filename="app/global-not-found.tsx" switcher
import type { Metadata } from 'next'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Not Found',
  description: 'The page you are looking for does not exist.',
}

export default function GlobalNotFound() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div>
          <h1>Not Found</h1>
          <p>The page you are looking for does not exist.</p>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/global-not-found.js" switcher
export const metadata = {
  title: 'Not Found',
  description: 'The page you are looking for does not exist.',
}

export default function GlobalNotFound() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <div>
          <h1>Not Found</h1>
          <p>The page you are looking for does not exist.</p>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

# onDemandEntries
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js exposes some options that give you some control over how the server will dispose or keep in memory built pages in development.

To change the defaults, open `next.config.js` and add the `onDemandEntries` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  onDemandEntries: {
    // period (in ms) where the server will keep pages in the buffer
    maxInactiveAge: 25 * 1000,
    // number of pages that should be kept simultaneously without being disposed
    pagesBufferLength: 2,
  },
}
```

# How to set up instrumentation with OpenTelemetry
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Observability is crucial for understanding and optimizing the behavior and performance of your Next.js app.

As applications become more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify and diagnose issues that may arise. By leveraging observability tools, such as logging and metrics, developers can gain insights into their application's behavior and identify areas for optimization. With observability, developers can proactively address issues before they become major problems and provide a better user experience. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use observability in your Next.js applications to improve performance, optimize resources, and enhance user experience.

We recommend using OpenTelemetry for instrumenting your apps.
It's a platform-agnostic way to instrument apps that allows you to change your observability provider without changing your code.
Read [Official OpenTelemetry docs](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/) for more information about OpenTelemetry and how it works.

This documentation uses terms like *Span*, *Trace* or *Exporter* throughout this doc, all of which can be found in [the OpenTelemetry Observability Primer](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/observability-primer/).

Next.js supports OpenTelemetry instrumentation out of the box, which means that we already instrumented Next.js itself.

## Getting Started

OpenTelemetry is extensible but setting it up properly can be quite verbose.
That's why we prepared a package `@vercel/otel` that helps you get started quickly.

### Using `@vercel/otel`

To get started, install the following packages:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install @vercel/otel @opentelemetry/sdk-logs @opentelemetry/api-logs @opentelemetry/instrumentation
```

Next, create a custom [`instrumentation.ts`](/docs/app/guides/instrumentation.md) (or `.js`) file in the **root directory** of the project (or inside `src` folder if using one):

```ts filename="your-project/instrumentation.ts" switcher
import { registerOTel } from '@vercel/otel'

export function register() {
  registerOTel({ serviceName: 'next-app' })
}
```

```js filename="your-project/instrumentation.js" switcher
import { registerOTel } from '@vercel/otel'

export function register() {
  registerOTel({ serviceName: 'next-app' })
}
```

See the [`@vercel/otel` documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vercel/otel) for additional configuration options.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `instrumentation` file should be in the root of your project and not inside the `app` or `pages` directory. If you're using the `src` folder, then place the file inside `src` alongside `pages` and `app`.
> * If you use the [`pageExtensions` config option](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/pageExtensions.md) to add a suffix, you will also need to update the `instrumentation` filename to match.
> * We have created a basic [with-opentelemetry](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-opentelemetry) example that you can use.

### Manual OpenTelemetry configuration

The `@vercel/otel` package provides many configuration options and should serve most of common use cases. But if it doesn't suit your needs, you can configure OpenTelemetry manually.

Firstly you need to install OpenTelemetry packages:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install @opentelemetry/sdk-node @opentelemetry/resources @opentelemetry/semantic-conventions @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http
```

Now you can initialize `NodeSDK` in your `instrumentation.ts`.
Unlike `@vercel/otel`, `NodeSDK` is not compatible with edge runtime, so you need to make sure that you are importing them only when `process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs'`. We recommend creating a new file `instrumentation.node.ts` which you conditionally import only when using node:

```ts filename="instrumentation.ts" switcher
export async function register() {
  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
    await import('./instrumentation.node.ts')
  }
}
```

```js filename="instrumentation.js" switcher
export async function register() {
  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
    await import('./instrumentation.node.js')
  }
}
```

```ts filename="instrumentation.node.ts" switcher
import { OTLPTraceExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http'
import { resourceFromAttributes } from '@opentelemetry/resources'
import { NodeSDK } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-node'
import { SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node'
import { ATTR_SERVICE_NAME } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions'

const sdk = new NodeSDK({
  resource: resourceFromAttributes({
    [ATTR_SERVICE_NAME]: 'next-app',
  }),
  spanProcessor: new SimpleSpanProcessor(new OTLPTraceExporter()),
})
sdk.start()
```

```js filename="instrumentation.node.js" switcher
import { OTLPTraceExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http'
import { resourceFromAttributes } from '@opentelemetry/resources'
import { NodeSDK } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-node'
import { SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node'
import { ATTR_SERVICE_NAME } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions'

const sdk = new NodeSDK({
  resource: resourceFromAttributes({
    [ATTR_SERVICE_NAME]: 'next-app',
  }),
  spanProcessor: new SimpleSpanProcessor(new OTLPTraceExporter()),
})
sdk.start()
```

Doing this is equivalent to using `@vercel/otel`, but it's possible to modify and extend some features that are not exposed by the `@vercel/otel`. If edge runtime support is necessary, you will have to use `@vercel/otel`.

## Testing your instrumentation

You need an OpenTelemetry collector with a compatible backend to test OpenTelemetry traces locally.
We recommend using our [OpenTelemetry dev environment](https://github.com/vercel/opentelemetry-collector-dev-setup).

If everything works well you should be able to see the root server span labeled as `GET /requested/pathname`.
All other spans from that particular trace will be nested under it.

Next.js traces more spans than are emitted by default.
To see more spans, you must set `NEXT_OTEL_VERBOSE=1`.

## Deployment

### Using OpenTelemetry Collector

When you are deploying with OpenTelemetry Collector, you can use `@vercel/otel`.
It will work both on Vercel and when self-hosted.

#### Deploying on Vercel

We made sure that OpenTelemetry works out of the box on Vercel.

Follow [Vercel documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/observability/otel-overview/quickstart) to connect your project to an observability provider.

#### Self-hosting

Deploying to other platforms is also straightforward. You will need to spin up your own OpenTelemetry Collector to receive and process the telemetry data from your Next.js app.

To do this, follow the [OpenTelemetry Collector Getting Started guide](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/getting-started/), which will walk you through setting up the collector and configuring it to receive data from your Next.js app.

Once you have your collector up and running, you can deploy your Next.js app to your chosen platform following their respective deployment guides.

### Custom Exporters

OpenTelemetry Collector is not necessary. You can use a custom OpenTelemetry exporter with [`@vercel/otel`](#using-vercelotel) or [manual OpenTelemetry configuration](#manual-opentelemetry-configuration).

## Custom Spans

You can add a custom span with [OpenTelemetry APIs](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/js/instrumentation).

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install @opentelemetry/api
```

The following example demonstrates a function that fetches GitHub stars and adds a custom `fetchGithubStars` span to track the fetch request's result:

```ts
import { trace } from '@opentelemetry/api'

export async function fetchGithubStars() {
  return await trace
    .getTracer('nextjs-example')
    .startActiveSpan('fetchGithubStars', async (span) => {
      try {
        return await getValue()
      } finally {
        span.end()
      }
    })
}
```

The `register` function will execute before your code runs in a new environment.
You can start creating new spans, and they should be correctly added to the exported trace.

## Default Spans in Next.js

Next.js automatically instruments several spans for you to provide useful insights into your application's performance.

Attributes on spans follow [OpenTelemetry semantic conventions](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/semantic_conventions/). We also add some custom attributes under the `next` namespace:

* `next.span_name` - duplicates span name
* `next.span_type` - each span type has a unique identifier
* `next.route` - The route pattern of the request (e.g., `/[param]/user`).
* `next.rsc` (true/false) - Whether the request is an RSC request, such as prefetch.
* `next.page`
  * This is an internal value used by an app router.
  * You can think about it as a route to a special file (like `page.ts`, `layout.ts`, `loading.ts` and others)
  * It can be used as a unique identifier only when paired with `next.route` because `/layout` can be used to identify both `/(groupA)/layout.ts` and `/(groupB)/layout.ts`

### `[http.method] [next.route]`

* `next.span_type`: `BaseServer.handleRequest`

This span represents the root span for each incoming request to your Next.js application. It tracks the HTTP method, route, target, and status code of the request.

Attributes:

* [Common HTTP attributes](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/semantic_conventions/http/#common-attributes)
  * `http.method`
  * `http.status_code`
* [Server HTTP attributes](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/semantic_conventions/http/#http-server-semantic-conventions)
  * `http.route`
  * `http.target`
* `next.span_name`
* `next.span_type`
* `next.route`

* `next.span_type`: `AppRender.getBodyResult`.

This span represents the process of rendering a route in the app router.

Attributes:

* `next.span_name`
* `next.span_type`
* `next.route`

### `fetch [http.method] [http.url]`

* `next.span_type`: `AppRender.fetch`

This span represents the fetch request executed in your code.

Attributes:

* [Common HTTP attributes](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/semantic_conventions/http/#common-attributes)
  * `http.method`
* [Client HTTP attributes](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/semantic_conventions/http/#http-client)
  * `http.url`
  * `net.peer.name`
  * `net.peer.port` (only if specified)
* `next.span_name`
* `next.span_type`

This span can be turned off by setting `NEXT_OTEL_FETCH_DISABLED=1` in your environment. This is useful when you want to use a custom fetch instrumentation library.

### `executing api route (app) [next.route]`

* `next.span_type`: `AppRouteRouteHandlers.runHandler`.

This span represents the execution of an API Route Handler in the app router.

Attributes:

* `next.span_name`
* `next.span_type`

### `resolve page components`

* `next.span_type`: `NextNodeServer.findPageComponents`.

This span represents the process of resolving page components for a specific page.

Attributes:

* `next.span_name`
* `next.span_type`
* `next.route`

### `resolve segment modules`

* `next.span_type`: `NextNodeServer.getLayoutOrPageModule`.

This span represents loading of code modules for a layout or a page.

Attributes:

# opengraph-image and twitter-image
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `opengraph-image` and `twitter-image` file conventions allow you to set Open Graph and Twitter images for a route segment.

They are useful for setting the images that appear on social networks and messaging apps when a user shares a link to your site.

There are two ways to set Open Graph and Twitter images:

* [Using image files (.jpg, .png, .gif)](#image-files-jpg-png-gif)
* [Using code to generate images (.js, .ts, .tsx)](#generate-images-using-code-js-ts-tsx)

## Image files (.jpg, .png, .gif)

Use an image file to set a route segment's shared image by placing an `opengraph-image` or `twitter-image` image file in the segment.

Next.js will evaluate the file and automatically add the appropriate tags to your app's `<head>` element.

| File convention                                 | Supported file types            |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| [`opengraph-image`](#opengraph-image)           | `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif` |
| [`twitter-image`](#twitter-image)               | `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif` |
| [`opengraph-image.alt`](#opengraph-imagealttxt) | `.txt`                          |
| [`twitter-image.alt`](#twitter-imagealttxt)     | `.txt`                          |

> **Good to know**:
>
> The `twitter-image` file size must not exceed [5MB](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/x-for-websites/cards/overview/summary), and the `opengraph-image` file size must not exceed [8MB](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images). If the image file size exceeds these limits, the build will fail.

### `opengraph-image`

Add an `opengraph-image.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)` image file to any route segment.

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image" content="<generated>" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="<generated>" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="<generated>" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="<generated>" />
```

### `twitter-image`

Add a `twitter-image.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)` image file to any route segment.

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta name="twitter:image" content="<generated>" />
<meta name="twitter:image:type" content="<generated>" />
<meta name="twitter:image:width" content="<generated>" />
<meta name="twitter:image:height" content="<generated>" />
```

### `opengraph-image.alt.txt`

Add an accompanying `opengraph-image.alt.txt` file in the same route segment as the `opengraph-image.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)` image it's alt text.

```txt filename="opengraph-image.alt.txt"
About Acme
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="About Acme" />
```

### `twitter-image.alt.txt`

Add an accompanying `twitter-image.alt.txt` file in the same route segment as the `twitter-image.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)` image it's alt text.

```txt filename="twitter-image.alt.txt"
About Acme
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="twitter:image:alt" content="About Acme" />
```

## Generate images using code (.js, .ts, .tsx)

In addition to using [literal image files](#image-files-jpg-png-gif), you can programmatically **generate** images using code.

Generate a route segment's shared image by creating an `opengraph-image` or `twitter-image` route that default exports a function.

| File convention   | Supported file types |
| ----------------- | -------------------- |
| `opengraph-image` | `.js`, `.ts`, `.tsx` |
| `twitter-image`   | `.js`, `.ts`, `.tsx` |

> **Good to know**:
>
> * By default, generated images are [**statically optimized**](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) (generated at build time and cached) unless they use [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) or uncached data.
> * You can generate multiple Images in the same file using [`generateImageMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-image-metadata.md).
> * `opengraph-image.js` and `twitter-image.js` are special Route Handlers that is cached by default unless it uses a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-apis) or [dynamic config](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#segment-config-options) option.

The easiest way to generate an image is to use the [ImageResponse](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/image-response.md) API from `next/og`.

```tsx filename="app/about/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { join } from 'node:path'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'About Acme'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  // Font loading, process.cwd() is Next.js project directory
  const interSemiBold = await readFile(
    join(process.cwd(), 'assets/Inter-SemiBold.ttf')
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        About Acme
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
      fonts: [
        {
          name: 'Inter',
          data: interSemiBold,
          style: 'normal',
          weight: 400,
        },
      ],
    }
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/about/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { join } from 'node:path'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'About Acme'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  // Font loading, process.cwd() is Next.js project directory
  const interSemiBold = await readFile(
    join(process.cwd(), 'assets/Inter-SemiBold.ttf')
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        About Acme
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
      fonts: [
        {
          name: 'Inter',
          data: interSemiBold,
          style: 'normal',
          weight: 400,
        },
      ],
    }
  )
}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image" content="<generated>" />
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="About Acme" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />
```

### Props

The default export function receives the following props:

#### `params` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) object from the root segment down to the segment `opengraph-image` or `twitter-image` is colocated in.

> **Good to know**: If you use [`generateImageMetadata`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-image-metadata.md), the function will also receive an `id` prop that is a promise resolving to the `id` value from one of the items returned by `generateImageMetadata`.

```tsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
export default async function Image({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/opengraph-image.js" switcher
export default async function Image({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  // ...
}
```

| Route                                      | URL         | `params`                           |
| ------------------------------------------ | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `app/shop/opengraph-image.js`              | `/shop`     | `undefined`                        |
| `app/shop/[slug]/opengraph-image.js`       | `/shop/1`   | `Promise<{ slug: '1' }>`           |
| `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/opengraph-image.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `Promise<{ tag: '1', item: '2' }>` |

### Returns

The default export function should return a `Blob` | `ArrayBuffer` | `TypedArray` | `DataView` | `ReadableStream` | `Response`.

> **Good to know**: `ImageResponse` satisfies this return type.

### Config exports

You can optionally configure the image's metadata by exporting `alt`, `size`, and `contentType` variables from `opengraph-image` or `twitter-image` route.

| Option                        | Type                                                                                                            |

| [`contentType`](#contenttype) | `string` - [image MIME type](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types#image_types) |

#### `alt`

```tsx filename="opengraph-image.tsx | twitter-image.tsx" switcher
export const alt = 'My images alt text'

export default function Image() {}
```

```jsx filename="opengraph-image.js | twitter-image.js" switcher
export const alt = 'My images alt text'

export default function Image() {}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="My images alt text" />
```

#### `size`

```tsx filename="opengraph-image.tsx | twitter-image.tsx" switcher
export const size = { width: 1200, height: 630 }

export default function Image() {}
```

```jsx filename="opengraph-image.js | twitter-image.js" switcher
export const size = { width: 1200, height: 630 }

export default function Image() {}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />
```

#### `contentType`

```tsx filename="opengraph-image.tsx | twitter-image.tsx" switcher
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default function Image() {}
```

```jsx filename="opengraph-image.js | twitter-image.js" switcher
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default function Image() {}
```

```html filename="<head> output"
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png" />
```

#### Route Segment Config

`opengraph-image` and `twitter-image` are specialized [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) that can use the same [route segment configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) options as Pages and Layouts.

### Examples

#### Using external data

This example uses the `params` object and external data to generate the image.

> **Good to know**:
> By default, this generated image will be [statically optimized](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering). You can configure the individual `fetch` [`options`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) or route segments [options](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#revalidate) to change this behavior.

```tsx filename="app/posts/[slug]/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export const alt = 'About Acme'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default async function Image({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const post = await fetch(`https://.../posts/${slug}`).then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 48,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        {post.title}
      </div>
    ),
    {
      ...size,
    }
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/posts/[slug]/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export const alt = 'About Acme'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}
export const contentType = 'image/png'

export default async function Image({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  const post = await fetch(`https://.../posts/${slug}`).then((res) =>
    res.json()
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 48,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        {post.title}
      </div>
    ),
    {
      ...size,
    }
  )
}
```

#### Using Node.js runtime with local assets

These examples use the Node.js runtime to fetch a local image from the file system and pass it to the `<img>` `src` attribute, either as a base64 string or an `ArrayBuffer`. Place the local asset relative to the project root, not the example source file.

```tsx filename="app/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { join } from 'node:path'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'

export default async function Image() {
  const logoData = await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'logo.png'), 'base64')
  const logoSrc = `data:image/png;base64,${logoData}`

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        <img src={logoSrc} height="100" />
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { join } from 'node:path'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'

export default async function Image() {
  const logoData = await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'logo.png'), 'base64')
  const logoSrc = `data:image/png;base64,${logoData}`

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        <img src={logoSrc} height="100" />
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

Passing an `ArrayBuffer` to the `src` attribute of an `<img>` element is not part of the HTML spec. The rendering engine used by `next/og` supports it, but because TypeScript definitions follow the spec, you need a `@ts-expect-error` directive or similar to use this [feature](https://github.com/vercel/satori/issues/606#issuecomment-2144000453).

```tsx filename="app/opengraph-image.tsx" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { join } from 'node:path'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'

export default async function Image() {
  const logoData = await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'logo.png'))
  const logoSrc = Uint8Array.from(logoData).buffer

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        {/* @ts-expect-error Satori accepts ArrayBuffer/typed arrays for <img src> at runtime */}
        <img src={logoSrc} height="100" />
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/opengraph-image.js" switcher
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { join } from 'node:path'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'

export default async function Image() {
  const logoData = await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'logo.png'))
  const logoSrc = Uint8Array.from(logoData).buffer

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        <img src={logoSrc} height="100" />
      </div>
    )
  )
}
```

Some packages can export hundreds or thousands of modules, which can cause performance issues in development and production.

Adding a package to `experimental.optimizePackageImports` will only load the modules you are actually using, while still giving you the convenience of writing import statements with many named exports.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    optimizePackageImports: ['package-name'],
  },
}
```

The following libraries are optimized by default:

* `lucide-react`
* `date-fns`
* `lodash-es`
* `ramda`
* `antd`
* `react-bootstrap`
* `ahooks`
* `@ant-design/icons`

@doc-version: 16.0.4


During a build, Next.js will automatically trace each page and its dependencies to determine all of the files that are needed for deploying a production version of your application.

This feature helps reduce the size of deployments drastically. Previously, when deploying with Docker you would need to have all files from your package's `dependencies` installed to run `next start`. Starting with Next.js 12, you can leverage Output File Tracing in the `.next/` directory to only include the necessary files.

Furthermore, this removes the need for the deprecated `serverless` target which can cause various issues and also creates unnecessary duplication.

## How it Works

During `next build`, Next.js will use [`@vercel/nft`](https://github.com/vercel/nft) to statically analyze `import`, `require`, and `fs` usage to determine all files that a page might load.

Next.js' production server is also traced for its needed files and output at `.next/next-server.js.nft.json` which can be leveraged in production.

To leverage the `.nft.json` files emitted to the `.next` output directory, you can read the list of files in each trace that are relative to the `.nft.json` file and then copy them to your deployment location.

## Automatically Copying Traced Files

Next.js can automatically create a `standalone` folder that copies only the necessary files for a production deployment including select files in `node_modules`.

To leverage this automatic copying you can enable it in your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  output: 'standalone',
}
```

This will create a folder at `.next/standalone` which can then be deployed on its own without installing `node_modules`.

Additionally, a minimal `server.js` file is also output which can be used instead of `next start`. This minimal server does not copy the `public` or `.next/static` folders by default as these should ideally be handled by a CDN instead, although these folders can be copied to the `standalone/public` and `standalone/.next/static` folders manually, after which `server.js` file will serve these automatically.

To copy these manually, you can use the `cp` command-line tool after you `next build`:

```bash filename="Terminal"
cp -r public .next/standalone/ && cp -r .next/static .next/standalone/.next/
```

To start your minimal `server.js` file locally, run the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
node .next/standalone/server.js
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If your project needs to listen to a specific port or hostname, you can define `PORT` or `HOSTNAME` environment variables before running `server.js`. For example, run `PORT=8080 HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 node server.js` to start the server on `http://0.0.0.0:8080`.

## Caveats

* While tracing in monorepo setups, the project directory is used for tracing by default. For `next build packages/web-app`, `packages/web-app` would be the tracing root and any files outside of that folder will not be included. To include files outside of this folder you can set `outputFileTracingRoot` in your `next.config.js`.

```js filename="packages/web-app/next.config.js"
const path = require('path')

module.exports = {
  // this includes files from the monorepo base two directories up
  outputFileTracingRoot: path.join(__dirname, '../../'),
}
```

* There are some cases in which Next.js might fail to include required files, or might incorrectly include unused files. In those cases, you can leverage `outputFileTracingExcludes` and `outputFileTracingIncludes` respectively in `next.config.js`. Each option accepts an object whose keys are **route globs** (matched with [picomatch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/picomatch#basic-globbing) against the route path, e.g. `/api/hello`) and whose values are **glob patterns resolved from the project root** that specify files to include or exclude in the trace.

> **Good to know**:
> In a monorepo, `project root` refers to the Next.js project root (the folder containing next.config.js, e.g., packages/web-app), not necessarily the monorepo root.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  outputFileTracingExcludes: {
    '/api/hello': ['./un-necessary-folder/**/*'],
  },
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/api/another': ['./necessary-folder/**/*'],
    '/api/login/\\[\\[\\.\\.\\.slug\\]\\]': [
      './node_modules/aws-crt/dist/bin/**/*',
    ],
  },
}
```

Using a `src/` directory does not change how you write these options:

* **Keys** still match the route path (`'/api/hello'`, `'/products/[id]'`, etc.).
* **Values** can reference paths under `src/` since they are resolved relative to the project root.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/products/*': ['src/lib/payments/**/*'],
    '/*': ['src/config/runtime/**/*.json'],
  },
  outputFileTracingExcludes: {
    '/api/*': ['src/temp/**/*', 'public/large-logs/**/*'],
  },
}
```

You can also target all routes using a global key like `'/*'`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/*': ['src/i18n/locales/**/*.json'],
  },
}
```

These options are applied to server traces and do not affect routes that do not produce a server trace file:

* Edge Runtime routes are not affected.
* Fully static pages are not affected.

In monorepos or when you need to include files outside the app folder, combine `outputFileTracingRoot` with includes:

```js filename="next.config.js"
const path = require('path')

module.exports = {
  // Trace from the monorepo root
  outputFileTracingRoot: path.join(__dirname, '../../'),
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/route1': ['../shared/assets/**/*'],
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Prefer forward slashes (`/`) in patterns for cross-platform compatibility.
> * Keep patterns as narrow as possible to avoid oversized traces (avoid `**/*` at the repo root).

Common include patterns for native/runtime assets:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/*': ['node_modules/sharp/**/*', 'node_modules/aws-crt/dist/bin/**/*'],
  },
}
```

# How to optimize package bundling
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Bundling external packages can significantly improve the performance of your application. By default, packages imported inside Server Components and Route Handlers are automatically bundled by Next.js. This page will guide you through how to analyze and further optimize package bundling.&#x20;

## Analyzing JavaScript bundles

[`@next/bundle-analyzer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/bundle-analyzer) is a plugin for Next.js that helps you manage the size of your application bundles. It generates a visual report of the size of each package and their dependencies. You can use the information to remove large dependencies, split, or [lazy-load](/docs/app/guides/lazy-loading.md) your code.

### Installation

Install the plugin by running the following command:

```bash
npm i @next/bundle-analyzer
# or
yarn add @next/bundle-analyzer
# or
pnpm add @next/bundle-analyzer
```

Then, add the bundle analyzer's settings to your `next.config.js`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {}

const withBundleAnalyzer = require('@next/bundle-analyzer')({
  enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true',
})

module.exports = withBundleAnalyzer(nextConfig)
```

### Generating a report

Run the following command to analyze your bundles:

```bash
ANALYZE=true npm run build
# or
ANALYZE=true yarn build
# or
ANALYZE=true pnpm build
```

The report will open three new tabs in your browser, which you can inspect. Periodically evaluating your application's bundles can help you maintain application performance over time.

## Optimizing package imports

Some packages, such as icon libraries, can export hundreds of modules, which can cause performance issues in development and production.

You can optimize how these packages are imported by adding the [`optimizePackageImports`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/optimizePackageImports.md) option to your `next.config.js`. This option will only load the modules you *actually* use, while still giving you the convenience of writing import statements with many named exports.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    optimizePackageImports: ['icon-library'],
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Next.js also optimizes some libraries automatically, thus they do not need to be included in the optimizePackageImports list. See the [full list](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/optimizePackageImports.md).

## Opting specific packages out of bundling

Since packages imported inside Server Components and Route Handlers are automatically bundled by Next.js, you can opt specific packages out of bundling using the [`serverExternalPackages`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverExternalPackages.md) option in your `next.config.js`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  serverExternalPackages: ['package-name'],
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Next.js includes a list of popular packages that currently are working on compatibility and automatically opt-ed out. See the [full list](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverExternalPackages.md).

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md

# page.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `page` file allows you to define UI that is **unique** to a route. You can create a page by default exporting a component from the file:

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page({
  params,
  searchParams,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  return <h1>My Page</h1>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {
  return <h1>My Page</h1>
}
```

## Good to know

* The `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.tsx` file extensions can be used for `page`.
* A `page` is always the **leaf** of the route subtree.
* A `page` file is required to make a route segment **publicly accessible**.
* Pages are [Server Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components) by default, but can be set to a [Client Component](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client).

## Reference

### Props

#### `params` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) from the root segment down to that page.

```tsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
}
```

| Example Route                        | URL         | `params`                                |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `app/shop/[slug]/page.js`            | `/shop/1`   | `Promise<{ slug: '1' }>`                |
| `app/shop/[category]/[item]/page.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `Promise<{ category: '1', item: '2' }>` |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js`         | `/shop/1/2` | `Promise<{ slug: ['1', '2'] }>`         |

* Since the `params` prop is a promise, you must use `async/await` or React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function to access the values.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `params` was a synchronous prop. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.

#### `searchParams` (optional)

A promise that resolves to an object containing the [search parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_is_a_URL#parameters) of the current URL. For example:

```tsx filename="app/shop/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  searchParams,
}: {
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const filters = (await searchParams).filters
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ searchParams }) {
  const filters = (await searchParams).filters
}
```

Client Component **pages** can also access `searchParams` using React’s [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) hook:

```tsx filename="app/shop/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'

export default function Page({
  searchParams,
}: {
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const filters = use(searchParams).filters
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
'use client'
import { use } from 'react'

export default function Page({ searchParams }) {
  const filters = use(searchParams).filters
}
```

| Example URL     | `searchParams`                |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `/shop?a=1`     | `Promise<{ a: '1' }>`         |
| `/shop?a=1&b=2` | `Promise<{ a: '1', b: '2' }>` |
| `/shop?a=1&a=2` | `Promise<{ a: ['1', '2'] }>`  |

* Since the `searchParams` prop is a promise. You must use `async/await` or React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function to access the values.
  * In version 14 and earlier, `searchParams` was a synchronous prop. To help with backwards compatibility, you can still access it synchronously in Next.js 15, but this behavior will be deprecated in the future.
* `searchParams` is a **[Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering)** whose values cannot be known ahead of time. Using it will opt the page into **[dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering)** at request time.
* `searchParams` is a plain JavaScript object, not a `URLSearchParams` instance.

### Page Props Helper

You can type pages with `PageProps` to get strongly typed `params` and `searchParams` from the route literal. `PageProps` is a globally available helper.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx"
export default async function Page(props: PageProps<'/blog/[slug]'>) {
  const { slug } = await props.params
  const query = await props.searchParams
  return <h1>Blog Post: {slug}</h1>
}
```

> * Using a literal route (e.g. `'/blog/[slug]'`) enables autocomplete and strict keys for `params`.
> * Static routes resolve `params` to `{}`.
> * Types are generated during `next dev`, `next build`, or with `next typegen`.
> * After type generation, the `PageProps` helper is globally available. It doesn't need to be imported.

## Examples

### Displaying content based on `params`

Using [dynamic route segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md), you can display or fetch specific content for the page based on the `params` prop.

```tsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
}) {
  const { slug } = await params
  return <h1>Blog Post: {slug}</h1>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/[slug]/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const { slug } = await params
  return <h1>Blog Post: {slug}</h1>
}
```

### Handling filtering with `searchParams`

You can use the `searchParams` prop to handle filtering, pagination, or sorting based on the query string of the URL.

```tsx filename="app/shop/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page({
  searchParams,
}: {
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const { page = '1', sort = 'asc', query = '' } = await searchParams

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Product Listing</h1>
      <p>Search query: {query}</p>
      <p>Current page: {page}</p>
      <p>Sort order: {sort}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page({ searchParams }) {
  const { page = '1', sort = 'asc', query = '' } = await searchParams

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Product Listing</h1>
      <p>Search query: {query}</p>
      <p>Current page: {page}</p>
      <p>Sort order: {sort}</p>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Reading `searchParams` and `params` in Client Components

To use `searchParams` and `params` in a Client Component (which cannot be `async`), you can use React's [`use`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use) function to read the promise:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { use } from 'react'

export default function Page({
  params,
  searchParams,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ slug: string }>
  searchParams: Promise<{ [key: string]: string | string[] | undefined }>
}) {
  const { slug } = use(params)
  const { query } = use(searchParams)
}
```

```js filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import { use } from 'react'

export default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {
  const { slug } = use(params)
  const { query } = use(searchParams)
}
```

# pageExtensions
@doc-version: 16.0.4


By default, Next.js accepts files with the following extensions: `.tsx`, `.ts`, `.jsx`, `.js`. This can be modified to allow other extensions like markdown (`.md`, `.mdx`).

```js filename="next.config.js"
const withMDX = require('@next/mdx')()

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  pageExtensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'ts', 'tsx', 'md', 'mdx'],
}

module.exports = withMDX(nextConfig)
```

# Pages and Layouts


The Pages Router has a file-system based router built on the concept of pages.

When a file is added to the `pages` directory, it's automatically available as a route.

In Next.js, a **page** is a [React Component](https://react.dev/learn/your-first-component) exported from a `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, or `.tsx` file in the `pages` directory. Each page is associated with a route based on its file name.

**Example**: If you create `pages/about.js` that exports a React component like below, it will be accessible at `/about`.

```jsx
export default function About() {
  return <div>About</div>
}
```

## Index routes

The router will automatically route files named `index` to the root of the directory.

* `pages/index.js` → `/`
* `pages/blog/index.js` → `/blog`

## Nested routes

The router supports nested files. If you create a nested folder structure, files will automatically be routed in the same way still.

* `pages/blog/first-post.js` → `/blog/first-post`
* `pages/dashboard/settings/username.js` → `/dashboard/settings/username`

## Pages with Dynamic Routes

Next.js supports pages with dynamic routes. For example, if you create a file called `pages/posts/[id].js`, then it will be accessible at `posts/1`, `posts/2`, etc.

> To learn more about dynamic routing, check the [Dynamic Routing documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md).

## Layout Pattern

The React model allows us to deconstruct a [page](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts.md) into a series of components. Many of these components are often reused between pages. For example, you might have the same navigation bar and footer on every page.

```jsx filename="components/layout.js"
import Navbar from './navbar'
import Footer from './footer'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Navbar />
      <main>{children}</main>
      <Footer />
    </>
  )
}
```

## Examples

### Single Shared Layout with Custom App

If you only have one layout for your entire application, you can create a [Custom App](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md) and wrap your application with the layout. Since the `<Layout />` component is re-used when changing pages, its component state will be preserved (e.g. input values).

```jsx filename="pages/_app.js"
import Layout from '../components/layout'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </Layout>
  )
}
```

### Per-Page Layouts

If you need multiple layouts, you can add a property `getLayout` to your page, allowing you to return a React component for the layout. This allows you to define the layout on a *per-page basis*. Since we're returning a function, we can have complex nested layouts if desired.

```jsx filename="pages/index.js"

import Layout from '../components/layout'
import NestedLayout from '../components/nested-layout'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    /** Your content */
  )
}

Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <NestedLayout>{page}</NestedLayout>
    </Layout>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/_app.js"
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  // Use the layout defined at the page level, if available
  const getLayout = Component.getLayout ?? ((page) => page)

  return getLayout(<Component {...pageProps} />)
}
```

When navigating between pages, we want to *persist* page state (input values, scroll position, etc.) for a Single-Page Application (SPA) experience.

This layout pattern enables state persistence because the React component tree is maintained between page transitions. With the component tree, React can understand which elements have changed to preserve state.

> **Good to know**: This process is called [reconciliation](https://react.dev/learn/preserving-and-resetting-state), which is how React understands which elements have changed.

### With TypeScript

When using TypeScript, you must first create a new type for your pages which includes a `getLayout` function. Then, you must create a new type for your `AppProps` which overrides the `Component` property to use the previously created type.

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
import type { ReactElement } from 'react'
import Layout from '../components/layout'
import NestedLayout from '../components/nested-layout'
import type { NextPageWithLayout } from './_app'

const Page: NextPageWithLayout = () => {
  return <p>hello world</p>
}

Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page: ReactElement) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <NestedLayout>{page}</NestedLayout>
    </Layout>
  )
}

export default Page
```

```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
import Layout from '../components/layout'
import NestedLayout from '../components/nested-layout'

const Page = () => {
  return <p>hello world</p>
}

Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <NestedLayout>{page}</NestedLayout>
    </Layout>
  )
}

export default Page
```

```tsx filename="pages/_app.tsx" switcher
import type { ReactElement, ReactNode } from 'react'
import type { NextPage } from 'next'
import type { AppProps } from 'next/app'

export type NextPageWithLayout<P = {}, IP = P> = NextPage<P, IP> & {
  getLayout?: (page: ReactElement) => ReactNode
}

type AppPropsWithLayout = AppProps & {
  Component: NextPageWithLayout
}

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppPropsWithLayout) {
  // Use the layout defined at the page level, if available
  const getLayout = Component.getLayout ?? ((page) => page)

  return getLayout(<Component {...pageProps} />)
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/_app.js" switcher
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  // Use the layout defined at the page level, if available
  const getLayout = Component.getLayout ?? ((page) => page)

  return getLayout(<Component {...pageProps} />)
}
```

### Data Fetching

Inside your layout, you can fetch data on the client-side using `useEffect` or a library like [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app/). Because this file is not a [Page](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts.md), you cannot use `getStaticProps` or `getServerSideProps` currently.

```jsx filename="components/layout.js"
import useSWR from 'swr'
import Navbar from './navbar'
import Footer from './footer'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  const { data, error } = useSWR('/api/navigation', fetcher)

  if (error) return <div>Failed to load</div>
  if (!data) return <div>Loading...</div>

  return (
    <>
      <Navbar links={data.links} />
      <main>{children}</main>
      <Footer />
    </>
  )
}
```

# Parallel Routes
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Parallel Routes allows you to simultaneously or conditionally render one or more pages within the same layout. They are useful for highly dynamic sections of an app, such as dashboards and feeds on social sites.

For example, considering a dashboard, you can use parallel routes to simultaneously render the `team` and `analytics` pages:

![Parallel Routes Diagram](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes.png)

## Convention

### Slots

Parallel routes are created using named **slots**. Slots are defined with the `@folder` convention. For example, the following file structure defines two slots: `@analytics` and `@team`:

![Parallel Routes File-system Structure](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-file-system.png)

Slots are passed as props to the shared parent layout. For the example above, the component in `app/layout.js` now accepts the `@analytics` and `@team` slots props, and can render them in parallel alongside the `children` prop:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
export default function Layout({
  children,
  team,
  analytics,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
  analytics: React.ReactNode
  team: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <>
      {children}
      {team}
      {analytics}
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
export default function Layout({ children, team, analytics }) {
  return (
    <>
      {children}
      {team}
      {analytics}
    </>
  )
}
```

However, slots are **not** route segments and do not affect the URL structure. For example, for `/@analytics/views`, the URL will be `/views` since `@analytics` is a slot. Slots are combined with the regular [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) component to form the final page associated with the route segment. Because of this, you cannot have separate [static](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) and [dynamic](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) slots at the same route segment level. If one slot is dynamic, all slots at that level must be dynamic.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `children` prop is an implicit slot that does not need to be mapped to a folder. This means `app/page.js` is equivalent to `app/@children/page.js`.

### `default.js`

You can define a `default.js` file to render as a fallback for unmatched slots during the initial load or full-page reload.

Consider the following folder structure. The `@team` slot has a `/settings` page, but `@analytics` does not.

![Parallel Routes unmatched routes](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-unmatched-routes.png)

When navigating to `/settings`, the `@team` slot will render the `/settings` page while maintaining the currently active page for the `@analytics` slot.

On refresh, Next.js will render a `default.js` for `@analytics`. If `default.js` doesn't exist, a `404` is rendered instead.

Additionally, since `children` is an implicit slot, you also need to create a `default.js` file to render a fallback for `children` when Next.js cannot recover the active state of the parent page.

## Behavior

By default, Next.js keeps track of the active *state* (or subpage) for each slot. However, the content rendered within a slot will depend on the type of navigation:

* [**Soft Navigation**](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions): During client-side navigation, Next.js will perform a [partial render](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions), changing the subpage within the slot, while maintaining the other slot's active subpages, even if they don't match the current URL.
* **Hard Navigation**: After a full-page load (browser refresh), Next.js cannot determine the active state for the slots that don't match the current URL. Instead, it will render a [`default.js`](#defaultjs) file for the unmatched slots, or `404` if `default.js` doesn't exist.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `404` for unmatched routes helps ensure that you don't accidentally render a parallel route on a page that it was not intended for.

## Examples

### With `useSelectedLayoutSegment(s)`

Both [`useSelectedLayoutSegment`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-selected-layout-segment.md) and [`useSelectedLayoutSegments`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-selected-layout-segments.md) accept a `parallelRoutesKey` parameter, which allows you to read the active route segment within a slot.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Layout({ auth }: { auth: React.ReactNode }) {
  const loginSegment = useSelectedLayoutSegment('auth')
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Layout({ auth }) {
  const loginSegment = useSelectedLayoutSegment('auth')
  // ...
}
```

When a user navigates to `app/@auth/login` (or `/login` in the URL bar), `loginSegment` will be equal to the string `"login"`.

### Conditional Routes

You can use Parallel Routes to conditionally render routes based on certain conditions, such as user role. For example, to render a different dashboard page for the `/admin` or `/user` roles:

![Conditional routes diagram](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/conditional-routes-ui.png)

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.tsx" switcher
import { checkUserRole } from '@/lib/auth'

export default function Layout({
  user,
  admin,
}: {
  user: React.ReactNode
  admin: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const role = checkUserRole()
  return role === 'admin' ? admin : user
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.js" switcher
import { checkUserRole } from '@/lib/auth'

export default function Layout({ user, admin }) {
  const role = checkUserRole()
  return role === 'admin' ? admin : user
}
```

### Tab Groups

You can add a `layout` inside a slot to allow users to navigate the slot independently. This is useful for creating tabs.

For example, the `@analytics` slot has two subpages: `/page-views` and `/visitors`.

![Analytics slot with two subpages and a layout](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-tab-groups.png)

Within `@analytics`, create a [`layout`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) file to share the tabs between the two pages:

```tsx filename="app/@analytics/layout.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Link href="/page-views">Page Views</Link>
        <Link href="/visitors">Visitors</Link>
      </nav>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/@analytics/layout.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Link href="/page-views">Page Views</Link>
        <Link href="/visitors">Visitors</Link>
      </nav>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

### Modals

Parallel Routes can be used together with [Intercepting Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md) to create modals that support deep linking. This allows you to solve common challenges when building modals, such as:

* Making the modal content **shareable through a URL**.
* **Preserving context** when the page is refreshed, instead of closing the modal.
* **Closing the modal on backwards navigation** rather than going to the previous route.
* **Reopening the modal on forwards navigation**.

Consider the following UI pattern, where a user can open a login modal from a layout using client-side navigation, or access a separate `/login` page:

![Parallel Routes Diagram](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-auth-modal.png)

To implement this pattern, start by creating a `/login` route that renders your **main** login page.

![Parallel Routes Diagram](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/parallel-routes-modal-login-page.png)

```tsx filename="app/login/page.tsx" switcher
import { Login } from '@/app/ui/login'

export default function Page() {
  return <Login />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/login/page.js" switcher
import { Login } from '@/app/ui/login'

export default function Page() {
  return <Login />
}
```

Then, inside the `@auth` slot, add [`default.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md) file that returns `null`. This ensures that the modal is not rendered when it's not active.

```tsx filename="app/@auth/default.tsx" switcher
export default function Default() {
  return null
}
```

```jsx filename="app/@auth/default.js" switcher
export default function Default() {
  return null
}
```

Inside your `@auth` slot, intercept the `/login` route by importing the `<Modal>` component and its children into the `@auth/(.)login/page.tsx` file, and updating the folder name to `/@auth/(.)login/page.tsx`.

```tsx filename="app/@auth/(.)login/page.tsx" switcher
import { Modal } from '@/app/ui/modal'
import { Login } from '@/app/ui/login'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Modal>
      <Login />
    </Modal>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/@auth/(.)login/page.js" switcher
import { Modal } from '@/app/ui/modal'
import { Login } from '@/app/ui/login'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Modal>
      <Login />
    </Modal>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> * The convention `(.)` is used for intercepting routes. See [Intercepting Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md#convention) docs for more information.
> * By separating the `<Modal>` functionality from the modal content (`<Login>`), you can ensure any content inside the modal, e.g. [forms](/docs/app/guides/forms.md), are Server Components. See [Interleaving Client and Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#examples#supported-pattern-passing-server-components-to-client-components-as-props) for more information.

#### Opening the modal

Now, you can leverage the Next.js router to open and close the modal. This ensures the URL is correctly updated when the modal is open, and when navigating backwards and forwards.

To open the modal, pass the `@auth` slot as a prop to the parent layout and render it alongside the `children` prop.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout({
  auth,
  children,
}: {
  auth: React.ReactNode
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Link href="/login">Open modal</Link>
      </nav>
      <div>{auth}</div>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Layout({ auth, children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Link href="/login">Open modal</Link>
      </nav>
      <div>{auth}</div>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

When the user clicks the `<Link>`, the modal will open instead of navigating to the `/login` page. However, on refresh or initial load, navigating to `/login` will take the user to the main login page.

#### Closing the modal

You can close the modal by calling `router.back()` or by using the `Link` component.

```tsx filename="app/ui/modal.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export function Modal({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          router.back()
        }}
      >
        Close modal
      </button>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/modal.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export function Modal({ children }) {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          router.back()
        }}
      >
        Close modal
      </button>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

When using the `Link` component to navigate away from a page that shouldn't render the `@auth` slot anymore, we need to make sure the parallel route matches to a component that returns `null`. For example, when navigating back to the root page, we create a `@auth/page.tsx` component:

```tsx filename="app/ui/modal.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export function Modal({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Link href="/">Close modal</Link>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/modal.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export function Modal({ children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Link href="/">Close modal</Link>
      <div>{children}</div>
    </>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/@auth/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return null
}
```

```jsx filename="app/@auth/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return null
}
```

Or if navigating to any other page (such as `/foo`, `/foo/bar`, etc), you can use a catch-all slot:

```tsx filename="app/@auth/[...catchAll]/page.tsx" switcher
export default function CatchAll() {
  return null
}
```

```jsx filename="app/@auth/[...catchAll]/page.js" switcher
export default function CatchAll() {
  return null
}
```

### Loading and Error UI

Parallel Routes can be streamed independently, allowing you to define independent error and loading states for each route:

# permanentRedirect
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `permanentRedirect` function allows you to redirect the user to another URL. `permanentRedirect` can be used in Server Components, Client Components, [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

When used in a streaming context, this will insert a meta tag to emit the redirect on the client side. When used in a server action, it will serve a 303 HTTP redirect response to the caller. Otherwise, it will serve a 308 (Permanent) HTTP redirect response to the caller.

If a resource doesn't exist, you can use the [`notFound` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) instead.

> **Good to know**: If you prefer to return a 307 (Temporary) HTTP redirect instead of 308 (Permanent), you can use the [`redirect` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) instead.

## Parameters

The `permanentRedirect` function accepts two arguments:

```js
permanentRedirect(path, type)
```

| Parameter | Type                                                          | Description                                                 |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `path`    | `string`                                                      | The URL to redirect to. Can be a relative or absolute path. |
| `type`    | `'replace'` (default) or `'push'` (default in Server Actions) | The type of redirect to perform.                            |

By default, `permanentRedirect` will use `push` (adding a new entry to the browser history stack) in [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) and `replace` (replacing the current URL in the browser history stack) everywhere else. You can override this behavior by specifying the `type` parameter.

The `type` parameter has no effect when used in Server Components.

## Returns

`permanentRedirect` does not return a value.

## Example

Invoking the `permanentRedirect()` function throws a `NEXT_REDIRECT` error and terminates rendering of the route segment in which it was thrown.

```jsx filename="app/team/[id]/page.js"
import { permanentRedirect } from 'next/navigation'

async function fetchTeam(id) {
  const res = await fetch('https://...')
  if (!res.ok) return undefined
  return res.json()
}

export default async function Profile({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const team = await fetchTeam(id)
  if (!team) {
    permanentRedirect('/login')
  }

  // ...
}
```

> **Good to know**: `permanentRedirect` does not require you to use `return permanentRedirect()` as it uses the TypeScript [`never`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/functions.html#never) type.

# How to set up Playwright with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Playwright is a testing framework that lets you automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API. You can use it to write **End-to-End (E2E)** testing. This guide will show you how to set up Playwright with Next.js and write your first tests.

## Quickstart

The fastest way to get started is to use `create-next-app` with the [with-playwright example](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-playwright). This will create a Next.js project complete with Playwright configured.

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example with-playwright with-playwright-app
```

## Manual setup

To install Playwright, run the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm init playwright
# or
yarn create playwright
# or
pnpm create playwright
```

This will take you through a series of prompts to setup and configure Playwright for your project, including adding a `playwright.config.ts` file. Please refer to the [Playwright installation guide](https://playwright.dev/docs/intro#installation) for the step-by-step guide.

## Creating your first Playwright E2E test

Create two new Next.js pages:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/about/page.tsx"
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>About</h1>
      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Then, add a test to verify that your navigation is working correctly:

```ts filename="tests/example.spec.ts"
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'

test('should navigate to the about page', async ({ page }) => {
  // Start from the index page (the baseURL is set via the webServer in the playwright.config.ts)
  await page.goto('http://localhost:3000/')
  // Find an element with the text 'About' and click on it
  await page.click('text=About')
  // The new URL should be "/about" (baseURL is used there)
  await expect(page).toHaveURL('http://localhost:3000/about')
  // The new page should contain an h1 with "About"
  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('About')
})
```

> **Good to know**: You can use `page.goto("/")` instead of `page.goto("http://localhost:3000/")`, if you add [`"baseURL": "http://localhost:3000"`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testoptions#test-options-base-url) to the `playwright.config.ts` [configuration file](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-configuration).

### Running your Playwright tests

Playwright will simulate a user navigating your application using three browsers: Chromium, Firefox and Webkit, this requires your Next.js server to be running. We recommend running your tests against your production code to more closely resemble how your application will behave.

Run `npm run build` and `npm run start`, then run `npx playwright test` in another terminal window to run the Playwright tests.

> **Good to know**: Alternatively, you can use the [`webServer`](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-webserver/) feature to let Playwright start the development server and wait until it's fully available.

### Running Playwright on Continuous Integration (CI)

Playwright will by default run your tests in the [headless mode](https://playwright.dev/docs/ci#running-headed). To install all the Playwright dependencies, run `npx playwright install-deps`.

You can learn more about Playwright and Continuous Integration from these resources:

# How to configure PostCSS in Next.js


## Default Behavior

Next.js compiles CSS for its [built-in CSS support](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md) using PostCSS.

Out of the box, with no configuration, Next.js compiles CSS with the following transformations:

* [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer) automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS rules (back to IE11).
* [Cross-browser Flexbox bugs](https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs) are corrected to behave like [the spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-flexbox-1/).
* New CSS features are automatically compiled for Internet Explorer 11 compatibility:
  * [`all` Property](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/all)
  * [Break Properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/break-after)
  * [`font-variant` Property](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/font-variant)
  * [Gap Properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/gap)
  * [Media Query Ranges](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries#Syntax_improvements_in_Level_4)

By default, [CSS Grid](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/) and [Custom Properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/var) (CSS variables) are **not compiled** for IE11 support.

To compile [CSS Grid Layout](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/grid) for IE11, you can place the following comment at the top of your CSS file:

```css
/* autoprefixer grid: autoplace */
```

You can also enable IE11 support for [CSS Grid Layout](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/grid)
in your entire project by configuring autoprefixer with the configuration shown below (collapsed).
See ["Customizing Plugins"](#customizing-plugins) below for more information.

<details>
<summary>Click to view the configuration to enable CSS Grid Layout</summary>

```json filename="postcss.config.json"
{
  "plugins": [
    "postcss-flexbugs-fixes",
    [
      "postcss-preset-env",
      {
        "autoprefixer": {
          "flexbox": "no-2009",
          "grid": "autoplace"
        },
        "stage": 3,
        "features": {
          "custom-properties": false
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}
```

</details>

CSS variables are not compiled because it is [not possible to safely do so](https://github.com/MadLittleMods/postcss-css-variables#caveats).
If you must use variables, consider using something like [Sass variables](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/variables) which are compiled away by [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/).

## Customizing Target Browsers

Next.js allows you to configure the target browsers (for [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer) and compiled css features) through [Browserslist](https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist).

To customize browserslist, create a `browserslist` key in your `package.json` like so:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "browserslist": [">0.3%", "not dead", "not op_mini all"]
}
```

You can use the [browsersl.ist](https://browsersl.ist/?q=%3E0.3%25%2C+not+ie+11%2C+not+dead%2C+not+op_mini+all) tool to visualize what browsers you are targeting.

## CSS Modules

No configuration is needed to support CSS Modules. To enable CSS Modules for a file, rename the file to have the extension `.module.css`.

You can learn more about [Next.js' CSS Module support here](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md).

## Customizing Plugins

> **Warning**: When you define a custom PostCSS configuration file, Next.js **completely disables** the [default behavior](#default-behavior).
> Be sure to manually configure all the features you need compiled, including [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer).
> You also need to install any plugins included in your custom configuration manually, i.e. `npm install postcss-flexbugs-fixes postcss-preset-env`.

To customize the PostCSS configuration, create a `postcss.config.json` file in the root of your project.

This is the default configuration used by Next.js:

```json filename="postcss.config.json"
{
  "plugins": [
    "postcss-flexbugs-fixes",
    [
      "postcss-preset-env",
      {
        "autoprefixer": {
          "flexbox": "no-2009"
        },
        "stage": 3,
        "features": {
          "custom-properties": false
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}
```

> **Good to know**: Next.js also allows the file to be named `.postcssrc.json`, or, to be read from the `postcss` key in `package.json`.

It is also possible to configure PostCSS with a `postcss.config.js` file, which is useful when you want to conditionally include plugins based on environment:

```js filename="postcss.config.js"
module.exports = {
  plugins:
    process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
      ? [
          'postcss-flexbugs-fixes',
          [
            'postcss-preset-env',
            {
              autoprefixer: {
                flexbox: 'no-2009',
              },
              stage: 3,
              features: {
                'custom-properties': false,
              },
            },
          ],
        ]
      : [
          // No transformations in development
        ],
}
```

> **Good to know**: Next.js also allows the file to be named `.postcssrc.js`.

Do **not use `require()`** to import the PostCSS Plugins. Plugins must be provided as strings.

> **Good to know**: If your `postcss.config.js` needs to support other non-Next.js tools in the same project, you must use the interoperable object-based format instead:
>
> ```js
> module.exports = {
>   plugins: {
>     'postcss-flexbugs-fixes': {},
>     'postcss-preset-env': {
>       autoprefixer: {
>         flexbox: 'no-2009',
>       },
>       stage: 3,
>       features: {
>         'custom-properties': false,
>       },
>     },
>   },
> }
> ```

# poweredByHeader
@doc-version: 16.0.4


By default Next.js will add the `x-powered-by` header. To opt-out of it, open `next.config.js` and disable the `poweredByHeader` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  poweredByHeader: false,
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/prefetching.md

# Prefetching
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Prefetching makes navigating between different routes in your application feel instant. Next.js tries to intelligently prefetch by default, based on the links used in your application code.

This guide will explain how prefetching works and show common implementation patterns:

* [Automatic prefetch](#automatic-prefetch)
* [Manual prefetch](#manual-prefetch)
* [Hover-triggered prefetch](#hover-triggered-prefetch)
* [Extending or ejecting link](#extending-or-ejecting-link)
* [Disabled prefetch](#disabled-prefetch)

## How does prefetching work?

When navigating between routes, the browser requests assets for the page like HTML and JavaScript files. Prefetching is the process of fetching these resources *ahead* of time, before you navigate to a new route.

Next.js automatically splits your application into smaller JavaScript chunks based on routes. Instead of loading all the code upfront like traditional SPAs, only the code needed for the current route is loaded. This reduces the initial load time while other parts of the app are loaded in the background. By the time you click the link, the resources for the new route have already been loaded into the browser cache.

When navigating to the new page, there's no full page reload or browser loading spinner. Instead, Next.js performs a [client-side transition](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions), making the page navigation feel instant.

## Prefetching static vs. dynamic routes

|                                                                   | **Static page** | **Dynamic page**                                                                |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Prefetched**                                                    | Yes, full route | No, unless [`loading.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md)     |
| [**Client Cache TTL**](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#full-route-cache) | 5 min (default) | Off, unless [enabled](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md) |
| **Server roundtrip on click**                                     | No              | Yes, streamed after [shell](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md)         |

> **Good to know:** During the initial navigation, the browser fetches the HTML, JavaScript, and React Server Components (RSC) Payload. For subsequent navigations, the browser will fetch the RSC Payload for Server Components and JS bundle for Client Components.

## Automatic prefetch

```tsx filename="app/ui/nav-link.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function NavLink() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/nav-link.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function NavLink() {
  return <Link href="/about">About</Link>
}
```

| **Context**       | **Prefetched payload**           | **Client Cache TTL**                                                           |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| No `loading.js`   | Entire page                      | Until app reload                                                               |
| With `loading.js` | Layout to first loading boundary | 30s ([configurable](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md)) |

Automatic prefetching runs only in production. Disable with `prefetch={false}` or use the wrapper in [Disabled Prefetch](#disabled-prefetch).

## Manual prefetch

To do manual prefetching, import the `useRouter` hook from `next/navigation`, and call `router.prefetch()` to warm routes outside the viewport or in response to analytics, hover, scroll, etc.

```tsx
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
import { CustomLink } from '@components/link'

export function PricingCard() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <div onMouseEnter={() => router.prefetch('/pricing')}>
      {/* other UI elements */}
      <CustomLink href="/pricing">View Pricing</CustomLink>
    </div>
  )
}
```

If the intent is to prefetch a URL when a component loads, see the extending or rejecting a link \[example].

## Hover-triggered prefetch

> **Proceed with caution:** Extending `Link` opts you into maintaining prefetching, cache invalidation, and accessibility concerns. Proceed only if defaults are insufficient.

Next.js tries to do the right prefetching by default, but power users can eject and modify based on their needs. You have the control between performance and resource consumption.

For example, you might have to only trigger prefetches on hover, instead of when entering the viewport (the default behavior):

```tsx
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useState } from 'react'

export function HoverPrefetchLink({
  href,
  children,
}: {
  href: string
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(false)

  return (
    <Link
      href={href}
      prefetch={active ? null : false}
      onMouseEnter={() => setActive(true)}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

`prefetch={null}` restores default (static) prefetching once the user shows intent.

## Extending or ejecting link

You can extend the `<Link>` component to create your own custom prefetching strategy. For example, using the [ForesightJS](https://foresightjs.com/docs/integrations/nextjs) library which prefetches links by predicting the direction of the user's cursor.

Alternatively, you can use [`useRouter`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) to recreate some of the native `<Link>` behavior. However, be aware this opts you into maintaining prefetching and cache invalidation.

```tsx
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
import { useEffect } from 'react'

function ManualPrefetchLink({
  href,
  children,
}: {
  href: string
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const router = useRouter()

  useEffect(() => {
    let cancelled = false
    const poll = () => {
      if (!cancelled) router.prefetch(href, { onInvalidate: poll })
    }
    poll()
    return () => {
      cancelled = true
    }
  }, [href, router])

  return (
    <a
      href={href}
      onClick={(event) => {
        event.preventDefault()
        router.push(href)
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </a>
  )
}
```

[`onInvalidate`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#userouter) is invoked when Next.js suspects cached data is stale, allowing you to refresh the prefetch.

> **Good to know:** Using an `a` tag will cause a full page navigation to the destination route, you can use `onClick` to prevent the full page navigation, and then invoke `router.push` to navigate to the destination.

## Disabled prefetch

You can fully disable prefetching for certain routes for more fine-grained control over resource consumption.

```tsx
'use client'

import Link, { LinkProps } from 'next/link'

function NoPrefetchLink({
  prefetch,
  ...rest
}: LinkProps & { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return <Link {...rest} prefetch={false} />
}
```

For example, you may still want to have consistent usage of `<Link>` in your application, but links in your footer might not need to be prefetched when entering the viewport.

## Prefetching optimizations

### Client cache

Next.js stores prefetched React Server Component payloads in memory, keyed by route segments. When navigating between sibling routes (e.g. `/dashboard/settings` → `/dashboard/analytics`), it reuses the parent layout and only fetches the updated leaf page. This reduces network traffic and improves navigation speed.

### Prefetch scheduling

Next.js maintains a small task queue, which prefetches in the following order:

1. Links in the viewport
2. Links showing user intent (hover or touch)
3. Newer links replace older ones
4. Links scrolled off-screen are discarded

The scheduler prioritizes likely navigations while minimizing unused downloads.

### Partial Prerendering (PPR)

When PPR is enabled, a page is divided into a static shell and a streamed dynamic section:

* The shell, which can be prefetched, streams immediately
* Dynamic data streams when ready
* Data invalidations (`revalidateTag`, `revalidatePath`) silently refresh associated prefetches

## Troubleshooting

### Triggering unwanted side-effects during prefetching

If your layouts or pages are not [pure](https://react.dev/learn/keeping-components-pure#purity-components-as-formulas) and have side-effects (e.g. tracking analytics), these might be triggered when the route is prefetched, not when the user visits the page.

To avoid this, you should move side-effects to a `useEffect` hook or a Server Action triggered from a Client Component.

**Before**:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.tsx" switcher
import { trackPageView } from '@/lib/analytics'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  // This runs during prefetch
  trackPageView()

  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.js" switcher
import { trackPageView } from '@/lib/analytics'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  // This runs during prefetch
  trackPageView()

  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

**After**:

```tsx filename="app/ui/analytics-tracker.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { trackPageView } from '@/lib/analytics'

export function AnalyticsTracker() {
  useEffect(() => {
    trackPageView()
  }, [])

  return null
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/analytics-tracker.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { trackPageView } from '@/lib/analytics'

export function AnalyticsTracker() {
  useEffect(() => {
    trackPageView()
  }, [])

  return null
}
```

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.tsx" switcher
import { AnalyticsTracker } from '@/app/ui/analytics-tracker'

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <AnalyticsTracker />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.js" switcher
import { AnalyticsTracker } from '@/app/ui/analytics-tracker'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <AnalyticsTracker />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Preventing too many prefetches

Next.js automatically prefetches links in the viewport when using the `<Link>` component.

There may be cases where you want to prevent this to avoid unnecessary usage of resources, such as when rendering a large list of links (e.g. an infinite scroll table).

You can disable prefetching by setting the `prefetch` prop of the `<Link>` component to `false`.

```tsx filename="app/ui/no-prefetch-link.tsx" switcher
<Link prefetch={false} href={`/blog/${post.id}`}>
  {post.title}
</Link>
```

However, this means static routes will only be fetched on click, and dynamic routes will wait for the server to render before navigating.

To reduce resource usage without disabling prefetch entirely, you can defer prefetching until the user hovers over a link. This targets only links the user is likely to visit.

```tsx filename="app/ui/hover-prefetch-link.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useState } from 'react'

export function HoverPrefetchLink({
  href,
  children,
}: {
  href: string
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(false)

  return (
    <Link
      href={href}
      prefetch={active ? null : false}
      onMouseEnter={() => setActive(true)}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/hover-prefetch-link.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useState } from 'react'

export function HoverPrefetchLink({ href, children }) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(false)

  return (
    <Link
      href={href}
      prefetch={active ? null : false}
      onMouseEnter={() => setActive(true)}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

In the [Pages documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts.md) and the [Data Fetching documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching.md), we talked about how to pre-render a page at build time (**Static Generation**) using `getStaticProps` and `getStaticPaths`.

Static Generation is useful when your pages fetch data from a headless CMS. However, it’s not ideal when you’re writing a draft on your headless CMS and want to **preview** the draft immediately on your page. You’d want Next.js to render these pages at **request time** instead of build time and fetch the draft content instead of the published content. You’d want Next.js to bypass Static Generation only for this specific case.

Next.js has a feature called **Preview Mode** which solves this problem. Here are instructions on how to use it.

## Step 1: Create and access a preview API route

> Take a look at the [API Routes documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md) first if you’re not familiar with Next.js API Routes.

First, create a **preview API route**. It can have any name - e.g. `pages/api/preview.js` (or `.ts` if using TypeScript).

In this API route, you need to call `setPreviewData` on the response object. The argument for `setPreviewData` should be an object, and this can be used by `getStaticProps` (more on this later). For now, we’ll use `{}`.

```js
export default function handler(req, res) {
  // ...
  res.setPreviewData({})
  // ...
}
```

`res.setPreviewData` sets some **cookies** on the browser which turns on the preview mode. Any requests to Next.js containing these cookies will be considered as the **preview mode**, and the behavior for statically generated pages will change (more on this later).

You can test this manually by creating an API route like below and accessing it from your browser manually:

```js filename="pages/api/preview.js"
// simple example for testing it manually from your browser.
export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.setPreviewData({})
  res.end('Preview mode enabled')
}
```

If you open your browser’s developer tools and visit `/api/preview`, you’ll notice that the `__prerender_bypass` and `__next_preview_data` cookies will be set on this request.

### Securely accessing it from your Headless CMS

In practice, you’d want to call this API route *securely* from your headless CMS. The specific steps will vary depending on which headless CMS you’re using, but here are some common steps you could take.

These steps assume that the headless CMS you’re using supports setting **custom preview URLs**. If it doesn’t, you can still use this method to secure your preview URLs, but you’ll need to construct and access the preview URL manually.

**First**, you should create a **secret token string** using a token generator of your choice. This secret will only be known by your Next.js app and your headless CMS. This secret prevents people who don’t have access to your CMS from accessing preview URLs.

**Second**, if your headless CMS supports setting custom preview URLs, specify the following as the preview URL. This assumes that your preview API route is located at `pages/api/preview.js`.

```bash filename="Terminal"
https://<your-site>/api/preview?secret=<token>&slug=<path>
```

* `<your-site>` should be your deployment domain.
* `<token>` should be replaced with the secret token you generated.
* `<path>` should be the path for the page that you want to preview. If you want to preview `/posts/foo`, then you should use `&slug=/posts/foo`.

Your headless CMS might allow you to include a variable in the preview URL so that `<path>` can be set dynamically based on the CMS’s data like so: `&slug=/posts/{entry.fields.slug}`

**Finally**, in the preview API route:

* Check that the secret matches and that the `slug` parameter exists (if not, the request should fail).
*
* Call `res.setPreviewData`.
* Then redirect the browser to the path specified by `slug`. (The following example uses a [307 redirect](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/307)).

```js
export default async (req, res) => {
  // Check the secret and next parameters
  // This secret should only be known to this API route and the CMS
  if (req.query.secret !== 'MY_SECRET_TOKEN' || !req.query.slug) {
    return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Invalid token' })
  }

  // Fetch the headless CMS to check if the provided `slug` exists
  // getPostBySlug would implement the required fetching logic to the headless CMS
  const post = await getPostBySlug(req.query.slug)

  // If the slug doesn't exist prevent preview mode from being enabled
  if (!post) {
    return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Invalid slug' })
  }

  // Enable Preview Mode by setting the cookies
  res.setPreviewData({})

  // Redirect to the path from the fetched post
  // We don't redirect to req.query.slug as that might lead to open redirect vulnerabilities
  res.redirect(post.slug)
}
```

If it succeeds, then the browser will be redirected to the path you want to preview with the preview mode cookies being set.

## Step 2: Update `getStaticProps`

The next step is to update `getStaticProps` to support the preview mode.

If you request a page which has `getStaticProps` with the preview mode cookies set (via `res.setPreviewData`), then `getStaticProps` will be called at **request time** (instead of at build time).

Furthermore, it will be called with a `context` object where:

* `context.preview` will be `true`.
* `context.previewData` will be the same as the argument used for `setPreviewData`.

```js
export async function getStaticProps(context) {
  // If you request this page with the preview mode cookies set:
  //
  // - context.preview will be true
  // - context.previewData will be the same as
  //   the argument used for `setPreviewData`.
}
```

We used `res.setPreviewData({})` in the preview API route, so `context.previewData` will be `{}`. You can use this to pass session information from the preview API route to `getStaticProps` if necessary.

If you’re also using `getStaticPaths`, then `context.params` will also be available.

### Fetch preview data

You can update `getStaticProps` to fetch different data based on `context.preview` and/or `context.previewData`.

For example, your headless CMS might have a different API endpoint for draft posts. If so, you can use `context.preview` to modify the API endpoint URL like below:

```js
export async function getStaticProps(context) {
  // If context.preview is true, append "/preview" to the API endpoint
  // to request draft data instead of published data. This will vary
  // based on which headless CMS you're using.
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../${context.preview ? 'preview' : ''}`)
  // ...
}
```

That’s it! If you access the preview API route (with `secret` and `slug`) from your headless CMS or manually, you should now be able to see the preview content. And if you update your draft without publishing, you should be able to preview the draft.

Set this as the preview URL on your headless CMS or access manually, and you should be able to see the preview.

```bash filename="Terminal"
https://<your-site>/api/preview?secret=<token>&slug=<path>
```

## More Details

> **Good to know**: during rendering `next/router` exposes an `isPreview` flag, see the [router object docs](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/use-router.md#router-object) for more info.

### Specify the Preview Mode duration

`setPreviewData` takes an optional second parameter which should be an options object. It accepts the following keys:

* `maxAge`: Specifies the number (in seconds) for the preview session to last for.
* `path`: Specifies the path the cookie should be applied under. Defaults to `/` enabling preview mode for all paths.

```js
setPreviewData(data, {
  maxAge: 60 * 60, // The preview mode cookies expire in 1 hour
  path: '/about', // The preview mode cookies apply to paths with /about
})
```

### Clear the Preview Mode cookies

By default, no expiration date is set for Preview Mode cookies, so the preview session ends when the browser is closed.

To clear the Preview Mode cookies manually, create an API route that calls `clearPreviewData()`:

```js filename="pages/api/clear-preview-mode-cookies.js"
export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.clearPreviewData({})
}
```

Then, send a request to `/api/clear-preview-mode-cookies` to invoke the API Route. If calling this route using [`next/link`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md), you must pass `prefetch={false}` to prevent calling `clearPreviewData` during link prefetching.

If a path was specified in the `setPreviewData` call, you must pass the same path to `clearPreviewData`:

```js filename="pages/api/clear-preview-mode-cookies.js"
export default function handler(req, res) {
  const { path } = req.query

  res.clearPreviewData({ path })
}
```

### `previewData` size limits

You can pass an object to `setPreviewData` and have it be available in `getStaticProps`. However, because the data will be stored in a cookie, there’s a size limitation. Currently, preview data is limited to 2KB.

### Works with `getServerSideProps`

The preview mode works on `getServerSideProps` as well. It will also be available on the `context` object containing `preview` and `previewData`.

> **Good to know**: You shouldn't set the `Cache-Control` header when using Preview Mode because it cannot be bypassed. Instead, we recommend using [ISR](/docs/pages/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md).

### Works with API Routes

API Routes will have access to `preview` and `previewData` under the request object. For example:

```js
export default function myApiRoute(req, res) {
  const isPreview = req.preview
  const previewData = req.previewData
  // ...
}
```

### Unique per `next build`

Both the bypass cookie value and the private key for encrypting the `previewData` change when `next build` is completed.
This ensures that the bypass cookie can’t be guessed.

> **Good to know**: To test Preview Mode locally over HTTP your browser will need to allow third-party cookies and local storage access.

# How to optimize your Next.js application for production
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Before taking your Next.js application to production, there are some optimizations and patterns you should consider implementing for the best user experience, performance, and security.

This page provides best practices that you can use as a reference when [building your application](#during-development) and [before going to production](#before-going-to-production), as well as the [automatic Next.js optimizations](#automatic-optimizations) you should be aware of.

## Automatic optimizations

These Next.js optimizations are enabled by default and require no configuration:

* **[Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md):** Next.js uses Server Components by default. Server Components run on the server, and don't require JavaScript to render on the client. As such, they have no impact on the size of your client-side JavaScript bundles. You can then use [Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) as needed for interactivity.
* **[Code-splitting](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#how-navigation-works):** Server Components enable automatic code-splitting by route segments. You may also consider [lazy loading](/docs/app/guides/lazy-loading.md) Client Components and third-party libraries, where appropriate.
* **[Prefetching](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching):** When a link to a new route enters the user's viewport, Next.js prefetches the route in background. This makes navigation to new routes almost instant. You can opt out of prefetching, where appropriate.
* **[Static Rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering):** Next.js statically renders Server and Client Components on the server at build time and caches the rendered result to improve your application's performance. You can opt into [Dynamic Rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) for specific routes, where appropriate.&#x20;
* **[Caching](/docs/app/guides/caching.md):** Next.js caches data requests, the rendered result of Server and Client Components, static assets, and more, to reduce the number of network requests to your server, database, and backend services. You may opt out of caching, where appropriate.

These defaults aim to improve your application's performance, and reduce the cost and amount of data transferred on each network request.

## During development

While building your application, we recommend using the following features to ensure the best performance and user experience:

### Routing and rendering

* **[Layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md):** Use layouts to share UI across pages and enable [partial rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions) on navigation.
* **[`<Link>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md):** Use the `<Link>` component for [client-side navigation and prefetching](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#how-navigation-works).
* **[Error Handling](/docs/app/getting-started/error-handling.md):** Gracefully handle [catch-all errors](/docs/app/getting-started/error-handling.md) and [404 errors](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md) in production by creating custom error pages.
* **[Client and Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#examples):** Follow the recommended composition patterns for Server and Client Components, and check the placement of your [`"use client"` boundaries](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md#examples#moving-client-components-down-the-tree) to avoid unnecessarily increasing your client-side JavaScript bundle.
* **[Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering):** Be aware that Dynamic APIs like [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) and the [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) prop will opt the entire route into [Dynamic Rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) (or your whole application if used in the [Root Layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout)). Ensure Dynamic API usage is intentional and wrap them in `<Suspense>` boundaries where appropriate.

> **Good to know**: [Partial Prerendering (experimental)](/blog/next-14#partial-prerendering-preview) will allow parts of a route to be dynamic without opting the whole route into dynamic rendering.

### Data fetching and caching

* **[Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md):** Leverage the benefits of fetching data on the server using Server Components.
* **[Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md):** Use Route Handlers to access your backend resources from Client Components. But do not call Route Handlers from Server Components to avoid an additional server request.
* **[Streaming](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md):** Use Loading UI and React Suspense to progressively send UI from the server to the client, and prevent the whole route from blocking while data is being fetched.
* **[Parallel Data Fetching](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md#parallel-data-fetching):** Reduce network waterfalls by fetching data in parallel, where appropriate. Also, consider [preloading data](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md#preloading-data) where appropriate.
* **[Data Caching](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache):** Verify whether your data requests are being cached or not, and opt into caching, where appropriate. Ensure requests that don't use `fetch` are [cached](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_cache.md).
* **[Static Images](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md):** Use the `public` directory to automatically cache your application's static assets, e.g. images.

### UI and accessibility

* **[Forms and Validation](/docs/app/guides/forms.md):** Use Server Actions to handle form submissions, server-side validation, and handle errors.
* **[Global Error UI](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/error.md#global-error):** Add `app/global-error.tsx` to provide consistent, accessible fallback UI and recovery for uncaught errors across your app.
* **[Global 404](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md#global-not-foundjs-experimental):** Add `app/global-not-found.tsx` to serve an accessible 404 for unmatched routes across your app.

- **[Font Module](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md):** Optimize fonts by using the Font Module, which automatically hosts your font files with other static assets, removes external network requests, and reduces [layout shift](https://web.dev/articles/cls).
- **[`<Image>` Component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md):** Optimize images by using the Image Component, which automatically optimizes images, prevents layout shift, and serves them in modern formats like WebP.
- **[`<Script>` Component](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md):** Optimize third-party scripts by using the Script Component, which automatically defers scripts and prevents them from blocking the main thread.
- **[ESLint](/docs/architecture/accessibility.md#linting):** Use the built-in `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y` plugin to catch accessibility issues early.

### Security

* **[Tainting](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/taint.md):** Prevent sensitive data from being exposed to the client by tainting data objects and/or specific values.
* **[Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md):** Ensure users are authorized to call Server Actions. Review the recommended [security practices](/blog/security-nextjs-server-components-actions).

- **[Environment Variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md):** Ensure your `.env.*` files are added to `.gitignore` and only public variables are prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`.
- **[Content Security Policy](/docs/app/guides/content-security-policy.md):** Consider adding a Content Security Policy to protect your application against various security threats such as cross-site scripting, clickjacking, and other code injection attacks.

### Metadata and SEO

* **[Metadata API](/docs/app/getting-started/metadata-and-og-images.md):** Use the Metadata API to improve your application's Search Engine Optimization (SEO) by adding page titles, descriptions, and more.
* **[Open Graph (OG) images](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md):** Create OG images to prepare your application for social sharing.
* **[Sitemaps](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-sitemaps.md) and [Robots](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/robots.md):** Help Search Engines crawl and index your pages by generating sitemaps and robots files.

### Type safety

* **TypeScript and [TS Plugin](/docs/app/api-reference/config/typescript.md):** Use TypeScript and the TypeScript plugin for better type-safety, and to help you catch errors early.

## Before going to production

Before going to production, you can run `next build` to build your application locally and catch any build errors, then run `next start` to measure the performance of your application in a production-like environment.

### Core Web Vitals

* **[Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse):** Run lighthouse in incognito to gain a better understanding of how your users will experience your site, and to identify areas for improvement. This is a simulated test and should be paired with looking at field data (such as Core Web Vitals).

- **[`useReportWebVitals` hook](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-report-web-vitals.md):** Use this hook to send [Core Web Vitals](https://web.dev/articles/vitals) data to analytics tools.

### Analyzing bundles

Use the [`@next/bundle-analyzer` plugin](/docs/app/guides/package-bundling.md#analyzing-javascript-bundles) to analyze the size of your JavaScript bundles and identify large modules and dependencies that might be impacting your application's performance.

Additionally, the following tools can help you understand the impact of adding new dependencies to your application:

* [Import Cost](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wix.vscode-import-cost)
* [Package Phobia](https://packagephobia.com/)
* [Bundle Phobia](https://bundlephobia.com/)
* [bundlejs](https://bundlejs.com/)

# productionBrowserSourceMaps
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Source Maps are enabled by default during development. During production builds, they are disabled to prevent you leaking your source on the client, unless you specifically opt-in with the configuration flag.

Next.js provides a configuration flag you can use to enable browser source map generation during the production build:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  productionBrowserSourceMaps: true,
}
```

When the `productionBrowserSourceMaps` option is enabled, the source maps will be output in the same directory as the JavaScript files. Next.js will automatically serve these files when requested.

* Adding source maps can increase `next build` time
* Increases memory usage during `next build`

# How to build a Progressive Web Application (PWA) with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) offer the reach and accessibility of web applications combined with the features and user experience of native mobile apps. With Next.js, you can create PWAs that provide a seamless, app-like experience across all platforms without the need for multiple codebases or app store approvals.

PWAs allow you to:

* Deploy updates instantly without waiting for app store approval
* Create cross-platform applications with a single codebase
* Provide native-like features such as home screen installation and push notifications

## Creating a PWA with Next.js

### 1. Creating the Web App Manifest

Next.js provides built-in support for creating a [web app manifest](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/manifest.md) using the App Router. You can create either a static or dynamic manifest file:

For example, create a `app/manifest.ts` or `app/manifest.json` file:

```tsx filename="app/manifest.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function manifest(): MetadataRoute.Manifest {
  return {
    name: 'Next.js PWA',
    short_name: 'NextPWA',
    description: 'A Progressive Web App built with Next.js',
    start_url: '/',
    display: 'standalone',
    background_color: '#ffffff',
    theme_color: '#000000',
    icons: [
      {
        src: '/icon-192x192.png',
        sizes: '192x192',
        type: 'image/png',
      },
      {
        src: '/icon-512x512.png',
        sizes: '512x512',
        type: 'image/png',
      },
    ],
  }
}
```

```jsx filename="app/manifest.js" switcher
export default function manifest() {
  return {
    name: 'Next.js PWA',
    short_name: 'NextPWA',
    description: 'A Progressive Web App built with Next.js',
    start_url: '/',
    display: 'standalone',
    background_color: '#ffffff',
    theme_color: '#000000',
    icons: [
      {
        src: '/icon-192x192.png',
        sizes: '192x192',
        type: 'image/png',
      },
      {
        src: '/icon-512x512.png',
        sizes: '512x512',
        type: 'image/png',
      },
    ],
  }
}
```

This file should contain information about the name, icons, and how it should be displayed as an icon on the user's device. This will allow users to install your PWA on their home screen, providing a native app-like experience.

You can use tools like [favicon generators](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) to create the different icon sets and place the generated files in your `public/` folder.

### 2. Implementing Web Push Notifications

Web Push Notifications are supported with all modern browsers, including:

* iOS 16.4+ for applications installed to the home screen
* Safari 16 for macOS 13 or later
* Chromium based browsers
* Firefox

This makes PWAs a viable alternative to native apps. Notably, you can trigger install prompts without needing offline support.

Web Push Notifications allow you to re-engage users even when they're not actively using your app. Here's how to implement them in a Next.js application:

First, let's create the main page component in `app/page.tsx`. We'll break it down into smaller parts for better understanding. First, we’ll add some of the imports and utilities we’ll need. It’s okay that the referenced Server Actions do not yet exist:

```tsx switcher
'use client'

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { subscribeUser, unsubscribeUser, sendNotification } from './actions'

function urlBase64ToUint8Array(base64String: string) {
  const padding = '='.repeat((4 - (base64String.length % 4)) % 4)
  const base64 = (base64String + padding).replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/')

  const rawData = window.atob(base64)
  const outputArray = new Uint8Array(rawData.length)

  for (let i = 0; i < rawData.length; ++i) {
    outputArray[i] = rawData.charCodeAt(i)
  }
  return outputArray
}
```

```jsx switcher
'use client'

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { subscribeUser, unsubscribeUser, sendNotification } from './actions'

function urlBase64ToUint8Array(base64String) {
  const padding = '='.repeat((4 - (base64String.length % 4)) % 4)
  const base64 = (base64String + padding)
    .replace(/\\-/g, '+')
    .replace(/_/g, '/')

  const rawData = window.atob(base64)
  const outputArray = new Uint8Array(rawData.length)

  for (let i = 0; i < rawData.length; ++i) {
    outputArray[i] = rawData.charCodeAt(i)
  }
  return outputArray
}
```

Let’s now add a component to manage subscribing, unsubscribing, and sending push notifications.

```tsx switcher
function PushNotificationManager() {
  const [isSupported, setIsSupported] = useState(false)
  const [subscription, setSubscription] = useState<PushSubscription | null>(
    null
  )
  const [message, setMessage] = useState('')

  useEffect(() => {
    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) {
      setIsSupported(true)
      registerServiceWorker()
    }
  }, [])

  async function registerServiceWorker() {
    const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js', {
      scope: '/',
      updateViaCache: 'none',
    })
    const sub = await registration.pushManager.getSubscription()
    setSubscription(sub)
  }

  async function subscribeToPush() {
    const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.ready
    const sub = await registration.pushManager.subscribe({
      userVisibleOnly: true,
      applicationServerKey: urlBase64ToUint8Array(
        process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY!
      ),
    })
    setSubscription(sub)
    const serializedSub = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sub))
    await subscribeUser(serializedSub)
  }

  async function unsubscribeFromPush() {
    await subscription?.unsubscribe()
    setSubscription(null)
    await unsubscribeUser()
  }

  async function sendTestNotification() {
    if (subscription) {
      await sendNotification(message)
      setMessage('')
    }
  }

  if (!isSupported) {
    return <p>Push notifications are not supported in this browser.</p>
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Push Notifications</h3>
      {subscription ? (
        <>
          <p>You are subscribed to push notifications.</p>
          <button onClick={unsubscribeFromPush}>Unsubscribe</button>
          <input
            type="text"
            placeholder="Enter notification message"
            value={message}
            onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)}
          />
          <button onClick={sendTestNotification}>Send Test</button>
        </>
      ) : (
        <>
          <p>You are not subscribed to push notifications.</p>
          <button onClick={subscribeToPush}>Subscribe</button>
        </>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx switcher
function PushNotificationManager() {
  const [isSupported, setIsSupported] = useState(false);
  const [subscription, setSubscription] = useState(null);
  const [message, setMessage] = useState('');

  useEffect(() => {
    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) {
      setIsSupported(true);
      registerServiceWorker();
    }
  }, []);

  async function registerServiceWorker() {
    const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js', {
      scope: '/',
      updateViaCache: 'none',
    });
    const sub = await registration.pushManager.getSubscription();
    setSubscription(sub);
  }

  async function subscribeToPush() {
    const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.ready;
    const sub = await registration.pushManager.subscribe({
      userVisibleOnly: true,
      applicationServerKey: urlBase64ToUint8Array(
        process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY!
      ),
    });
    setSubscription(sub);
    await subscribeUser(sub);
  }

  async function unsubscribeFromPush() {
    await subscription?.unsubscribe();
    setSubscription(null);
    await unsubscribeUser();
  }

  async function sendTestNotification() {
    if (subscription) {
      await sendNotification(message);
      setMessage('');
    }
  }

  if (!isSupported) {
    return <p>Push notifications are not supported in this browser.</p>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Push Notifications</h3>
      {subscription ? (
        <>
          <p>You are subscribed to push notifications.</p>
          <button onClick={unsubscribeFromPush}>Unsubscribe</button>
          <input
            type="text"
            placeholder="Enter notification message"
            value={message}
            onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)}
          />
          <button onClick={sendTestNotification}>Send Test</button>
        </>
      ) : (
        <>
          <p>You are not subscribed to push notifications.</p>
          <button onClick={subscribeToPush}>Subscribe</button>
        </>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
```

Finally, let’s create a component to show a message for iOS devices to instruct them to install to their home screen, and only show this if the app is not already installed.

```tsx switcher
function InstallPrompt() {
  const [isIOS, setIsIOS] = useState(false)
  const [isStandalone, setIsStandalone] = useState(false)

  useEffect(() => {
    setIsIOS(
      /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.userAgent) && !(window as any).MSStream
    )

    setIsStandalone(window.matchMedia('(display-mode: standalone)').matches)
  }, [])

  if (isStandalone) {
    return null // Don't show install button if already installed
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Install App</h3>
      <button>Add to Home Screen</button>
      {isIOS && (
        <p>
          To install this app on your iOS device, tap the share button
          <span role="img" aria-label="share icon">
            {' '}
            ⎋{' '}
          </span>
          and then "Add to Home Screen"
          <span role="img" aria-label="plus icon">
            {' '}
            ➕{' '}
          </span>
          .
        </p>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <PushNotificationManager />
      <InstallPrompt />
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx switcher
function InstallPrompt() {
  const [isIOS, setIsIOS] = useState(false);
  const [isStandalone, setIsStandalone] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    setIsIOS(
      /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.userAgent) && !(window as any).MSStream
    );

    setIsStandalone(window.matchMedia('(display-mode: standalone)').matches);
  }, []);

  if (isStandalone) {
    return null; // Don't show install button if already installed
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h3>Install App</h3>
      <button>Add to Home Screen</button>
      {isIOS && (
        <p>
          To install this app on your iOS device, tap the share button
          <span role="img" aria-label="share icon">
            {' '}
            ⎋{' '}
          </span>
          and then "Add to Home Screen"
          <span role="img" aria-label="plus icon">
            {' '}
            ➕{' '}
          </span>
          .
        </p>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <PushNotificationManager />
      <InstallPrompt />
    </div>
  );
}
```

Now, let’s create the Server Actions which this file calls.

### 3. Implementing Server Actions

Create a new file to contain your actions at `app/actions.ts`. This file will handle creating subscriptions, deleting subscriptions, and sending notifications.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import webpush from 'web-push'

webpush.setVapidDetails(
  '<mailto:your-email@example.com>',
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY!,
  process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY!
)

let subscription: PushSubscription | null = null

export async function subscribeUser(sub: PushSubscription) {
  subscription = sub
  // In a production environment, you would want to store the subscription in a database
  // For example: await db.subscriptions.create({ data: sub })
  return { success: true }
}

export async function unsubscribeUser() {
  subscription = null
  // In a production environment, you would want to remove the subscription from the database
  // For example: await db.subscriptions.delete({ where: { ... } })
  return { success: true }
}

export async function sendNotification(message: string) {
  if (!subscription) {
    throw new Error('No subscription available')
  }

  try {
    await webpush.sendNotification(
      subscription,
      JSON.stringify({
        title: 'Test Notification',
        body: message,
        icon: '/icon.png',
      })
    )
    return { success: true }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error sending push notification:', error)
    return { success: false, error: 'Failed to send notification' }
  }
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server';

import webpush from 'web-push';

webpush.setVapidDetails(
  '<mailto:your-email@example.com>',
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY!,
  process.env.VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY!
);

let subscription= null;

export async function subscribeUser(sub) {
  subscription = sub;
  // In a production environment, you would want to store the subscription in a database
  // For example: await db.subscriptions.create({ data: sub })
  return { success: true };
}

export async function unsubscribeUser() {
  subscription = null;
  // In a production environment, you would want to remove the subscription from the database
  // For example: await db.subscriptions.delete({ where: { ... } })
  return { success: true };
}

export async function sendNotification(message) {
  if (!subscription) {
    throw new Error('No subscription available');
  }

  try {
    await webpush.sendNotification(
      subscription,
      JSON.stringify({
        title: 'Test Notification',
        body: message,
        icon: '/icon.png',
      })
    );
    return { success: true };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error sending push notification:', error);
    return { success: false, error: 'Failed to send notification' };
  }
}
```

Sending a notification will be handled by our service worker, created in step 5.

In a production environment, you would want to store the subscription in a database for persistence across server restarts and to manage multiple users' subscriptions.

### 4. Generating VAPID Keys

To use the Web Push API, you need to generate [VAPID](https://vapidkeys.com/) keys. The simplest way is to use the web-push CLI directly:

First, install web-push globally:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -g web-push
```

Generate the VAPID keys by running:

```bash filename="Terminal"
web-push generate-vapid-keys
```

Copy the output and paste the keys into your `.env` file:

```
NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY=your_public_key_here
VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
```

### 5. Creating a Service Worker

Create a `public/sw.js` file for your service worker:

```js filename="public/sw.js"
self.addEventListener('push', function (event) {
  if (event.data) {
    const data = event.data.json()
    const options = {
      body: data.body,
      icon: data.icon || '/icon.png',
      badge: '/badge.png',
      vibrate: [100, 50, 100],
      data: {
        dateOfArrival: Date.now(),
        primaryKey: '2',
      },
    }
    event.waitUntil(self.registration.showNotification(data.title, options))
  }
})

self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function (event) {
  console.log('Notification click received.')
  event.notification.close()
  event.waitUntil(clients.openWindow('<https://your-website.com>'))
})
```

This service worker supports custom images and notifications. It handles incoming push events and notification clicks.

* You can set custom icons for notifications using the `icon` and `badge` properties.
* The `vibrate` pattern can be adjusted to create custom vibration alerts on supported devices.
* Additional data can be attached to the notification using the `data` property.

Remember to test your service worker thoroughly to ensure it behaves as expected across different devices and browsers. Also, make sure to update the `'https://your-website.com'` link in the `notificationclick` event listener to the appropriate URL for your application.

### 6. Adding to Home Screen

The `InstallPrompt` component defined in step 2 shows a message for iOS devices to instruct them to install to their home screen.

To ensure your application can be installed to a mobile home screen, you must have:

1. A valid web app manifest (created in step 1)
2. The website served over HTTPS

Modern browsers will automatically show an installation prompt to users when these criteria are met. You can provide a custom installation button with [`beforeinstallprompt`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeinstallprompt_event), however, we do not recommend this as it is not cross browser and platform (does not work on Safari iOS).

### 7. Testing Locally

To ensure you can view notifications locally, ensure that:

* You are [running locally with HTTPS](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/next.md#using-https-during-development)
  * Use `next dev --experimental-https` for testing
* Your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) has notifications enabled
  * When prompted locally, accept permissions to use notifications
  * Ensure notifications are not disabled globally for the entire browser
  * If you are still not seeing notifications, try using another browser to debug

### 8. Securing your application

Security is a crucial aspect of any web application, especially for PWAs. Next.js allows you to configure security headers using the `next.config.js` file. For example:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/(.*)',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'X-Content-Type-Options',
            value: 'nosniff',
          },
          {
            key: 'X-Frame-Options',
            value: 'DENY',
          },
          {
            key: 'Referrer-Policy',
            value: 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin',
          },
        ],
      },
      {
        source: '/sw.js',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Content-Type',
            value: 'application/javascript; charset=utf-8',
          },
          {
            key: 'Cache-Control',
            value: 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate',
          },
          {
            key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
            value: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'",
          },
        ],
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

Let’s go over each of these options:

1. Global Headers (applied to all routes):
   1. `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`: Prevents MIME type sniffing, reducing the risk of malicious file uploads.
   2. `X-Frame-Options: DENY`: Protects against clickjacking attacks by preventing your site from being embedded in iframes.
   3. `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`: Controls how much referrer information is included with requests, balancing security and functionality.
2. Service Worker Specific Headers:
   1. `Content-Type: application/javascript; charset=utf-8`: Ensures the service worker is interpreted correctly as JavaScript.
   2. `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate`: Prevents caching of the service worker, ensuring users always get the latest version.
   3. `Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'`: Implements a strict Content Security Policy for the service worker, only allowing scripts from the same origin.

Learn more about defining [Content Security Policies](/docs/app/guides/content-security-policy.md) with Next.js.

## Extending your PWA

1. **Exploring PWA Capabilities**: PWAs can leverage various web APIs to provide advanced functionality. Consider exploring features like background sync, periodic background sync, or the File System Access API to enhance your application. For inspiration and up-to-date information on PWA capabilities, you can refer to resources like [What PWA Can Do Today](https://whatpwacando.today/).
2. **Static Exports:** If your application requires not running a server, and instead using a static export of files, you can update the Next.js configuration to enable this change. Learn more in the [Next.js Static Export documentation](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md). However, you will need to move from Server Actions to calling an external API, as well as moving your defined headers to your proxy.
3. **Offline Support**: To provide offline functionality, one option is [Serwist](https://github.com/serwist/serwist) with Next.js. You can find an example of how to integrate Serwist with Next.js in their [documentation](https://github.com/serwist/serwist/tree/main/examples/next-basic). **Note:** this plugin currently requires webpack configuration.
4. **Security Considerations**: Ensure that your service worker is properly secured. This includes using HTTPS, validating the source of push messages, and implementing proper error handling.
5. **User Experience**: Consider implementing progressive enhancement techniques to ensure your app works well even when certain PWA features are not supported by the user's browser.

# Project structure and organization
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This page provides an overview of **all** the folder and file conventions in Next.js, and recommendations for organizing your project.

## Folder and file conventions

### Top-level folders

Top-level folders are used to organize your application's code and static assets.

![Route segments to path segments](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/top-level-folders.png)

|                                                                    |                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |

| [`pages`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing.md)           | Pages Router                       |
| [`public`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md) | Static assets to be served         |
| [`src`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/src-folder.md)       | Optional application source folder |

### Top-level files

Top-level files are used to configure your application, manage dependencies, run proxy, integrate monitoring tools, and define environment variables.

|                                                                              |                                         |

### Routing Files

Add `page` to expose a route, `layout` for shared UI such as header, nav, or footer, `loading` for skeletons, `error` for error boundaries, and `route` for APIs.

|                                                                               |                     |                              |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| [`layout`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md)                   | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Layout                       |
| [`page`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md)                       | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Page                         |
| [`loading`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md)                 | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Loading UI                   |
| [`not-found`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md)             | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Not found UI                 |
| [`error`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/error.md)                     | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Error UI                     |

| [`template`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/template.md)               | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Re-rendered layout           |
| [`default`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md)                 | `.js` `.jsx` `.tsx` | Parallel route fallback page |

### Nested routes

Folders define URL segments. Nesting folders nests segments. Layouts at any level wrap their child segments. A route becomes public when a `page` or `route` file exists.

| Path                        | URL pattern     | Notes                         |
| --------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `app/layout.tsx`            | —               | Root layout wraps all routes  |
| `app/blog/layout.tsx`       | —               | Wraps `/blog` and descendants |
| `app/page.tsx`              | `/`             | Public route                  |
| `app/blog/page.tsx`         | `/blog`         | Public route                  |
| `app/blog/authors/page.tsx` | `/blog/authors` | Public route                  |

### Dynamic routes

Parameterize segments with square brackets. Use `[segment]` for a single param, `[...segment]` for catch‑all, and `[[...segment]]` for optional catch‑all. Access values via the [`params`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#params-optional) prop.

| Path                            | URL pattern                                                          |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx`      | `/blog/my-first-post`                                                |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.tsx`   | `/shop/clothing`, `/shop/clothing/shirts`                            |
| `app/docs/[[...slug]]/page.tsx` | `/docs`, `/docs/layouts-and-pages`, `/docs/api-reference/use-router` |

### Route groups and private folders

Organize code without changing URLs with route groups [`(group)`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-groups.md#convention), and colocate non-routable files with private folders [`_folder`](#private-folders).

| Path                            | URL pattern | Notes                                     |
| ------------------------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `app/(marketing)/page.tsx`      | `/`         | Group omitted from URL                    |
| `app/(shop)/cart/page.tsx`      | `/cart`     | Share layouts within `(shop)`             |
| `app/blog/_components/Post.tsx` | —           | Not routable; safe place for UI utilities |
| `app/blog/_lib/data.ts`         | —           | Not routable; safe place for utils        |

### Parallel and Intercepted Routes

These features fit specific UI patterns, such as slot-based layouts or modal routing.

Use `@slot` for named slots rendered by a parent layout. Use intercept patterns to render another route inside the current layout without changing the URL, for example, to show a details view as a modal over a list.

| Pattern (docs)                                                                              | Meaning              | Typical use case                         |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| [`@folder`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md#slots)                 | Named slot           | Sidebar + main content                   |
| [`(.)folder`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md#convention)      | Intercept same level | Preview sibling route in a modal         |
| [`(..)folder`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md#convention)     | Intercept parent     | Open a child of the parent as an overlay |
| [`(..)(..)folder`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md#convention) | Intercept two levels | Deeply nested overlay                    |
| [`(...)folder`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md#convention)    | Intercept from root  | Show arbitrary route in current view     |

## Organizing your project

Next.js is **unopinionated** about how you organize and colocate your project files. But it does provide several features to help you organize your project.

### Component hierarchy

The components defined in special files are rendered in a specific hierarchy:

* `layout.js`
* `template.js`
* `error.js` (React error boundary)
* `loading.js` (React suspense boundary)
* `not-found.js` (React error boundary for "not found" UI)
* `page.js` or nested `layout.js`

![Component Hierarchy for File Conventions](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/file-conventions-component-hierarchy.png)

The components are rendered recursively in nested routes, meaning the components of a route segment will be nested **inside** the components of its parent segment.

![Nested File Conventions Component Hierarchy](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/nested-file-conventions-component-hierarchy.png)

### Colocation

In the `app` directory, nested folders define route structure. Each folder represents a route segment that is mapped to a corresponding segment in a URL path.

However, even though route structure is defined through folders, a route is **not publicly accessible** until a `page.js` or `route.js` file is added to a route segment.

![A diagram showing how a route is not publicly accessible until a page.js or route.js file is added to a route segment.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-not-routable.png)

And, even when a route is made publicly accessible, only the **content returned** by `page.js` or `route.js` is sent to the client.

![A diagram showing how page.js and route.js files make routes publicly accessible.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-routable.png)

This means that **project files** can be **safely colocated** inside route segments in the `app` directory without accidentally being routable.

![A diagram showing colocated project files are not routable even when a segment contains a page.js or route.js file.](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-colocation.png)

> **Good to know**: While you **can** colocate your project files in `app` you don't **have** to. If you prefer, you can [keep them outside the `app` directory](#store-project-files-outside-of-app).

### Private folders

Private folders can be created by prefixing a folder with an underscore: `_folderName`

This indicates the folder is a private implementation detail and should not be considered by the routing system, thereby **opting the folder and all its subfolders** out of routing.

![An example folder structure using private folders](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-private-folders.png)

Since files in the `app` directory can be [safely colocated by default](#colocation), private folders are not required for colocation. However, they can be useful for:

* Separating UI logic from routing logic.
* Consistently organizing internal files across a project and the Next.js ecosystem.
* Sorting and grouping files in code editors.
* Avoiding potential naming conflicts with future Next.js file conventions.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * While not a framework convention, you might also consider marking files outside private folders as "private" using the same underscore pattern.
> * You can create URL segments that start with an underscore by prefixing the folder name with `%5F` (the URL-encoded form of an underscore): `%5FfolderName`.
> * If you don't use private folders, it would be helpful to know Next.js [special file conventions](/docs/app/getting-started/project-structure.md#routing-files) to prevent unexpected naming conflicts.

### Route groups

Route groups can be created by wrapping a folder in parenthesis: `(folderName)`

This indicates the folder is for organizational purposes and should **not be included** in the route's URL path.

![An example folder structure using route groups](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-route-groups.png)

Route groups are useful for:

* Organizing routes by site section, intent, or team. e.g. marketing pages, admin pages, etc.
* Enabling nested layouts in the same route segment level:
  * [Creating multiple nested layouts in the same segment, including multiple root layouts](#creating-multiple-root-layouts)
  * [Adding a layout to a subset of routes in a common segment](#opting-specific-segments-into-a-layout)

### `src` folder

Next.js supports storing application code (including `app`) inside an optional [`src` folder](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/src-folder.md). This separates application code from project configuration files which mostly live in the root of a project.

![An example folder structure with the src folder](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-src-directory.png)

## Examples

The following section lists a very high-level overview of common strategies. The simplest takeaway is to choose a strategy that works for you and your team and be consistent across the project.

> **Good to know**: In our examples below, we're using `components` and `lib` folders as generalized placeholders, their naming has no special framework significance and your projects might use other folders like `ui`, `utils`, `hooks`, `styles`, etc.

### Store project files outside of `app`

This strategy stores all application code in shared folders in the **root of your project** and keeps the `app` directory purely for routing purposes.

![An example folder structure with project files outside of app](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-project-root.png)

### Store project files in top-level folders inside of `app`

This strategy stores all application code in shared folders in the **root of the `app` directory**.

![An example folder structure with project files inside app](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-app-root.png)

### Split project files by feature or route

This strategy stores globally shared application code in the root `app` directory and **splits** more specific application code into the route segments that use them.

![An example folder structure with project files split by feature or route](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-app-root-split.png)

### Organize routes without affecting the URL path

To organize routes without affecting the URL, create a group to keep related routes together. The folders in parenthesis will be omitted from the URL (e.g. `(marketing)` or `(shop)`).

![Organizing Routes with Route Groups](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-group-organisation.png)

Even though routes inside `(marketing)` and `(shop)` share the same URL hierarchy, you can create a different layout for each group by adding a `layout.js` file inside their folders.

![Route Groups with Multiple Layouts](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-group-multiple-layouts.png)

### Opting specific segments into a layout

To opt specific routes into a layout, create a new route group (e.g. `(shop)`) and move the routes that share the same layout into the group (e.g. `account` and `cart`). The routes outside of the group will not share the layout (e.g. `checkout`).

![Route Groups with Opt-in Layouts](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-group-opt-in-layouts.png)

### Opting for loading skeletons on a specific route

To apply a [loading skeleton](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) via a `loading.js` file to a specific route, create a new route group (e.g., `/(overview)`) and then move your `loading.tsx` inside that route group.

![Folder structure showing a loading.tsx and a page.tsx inside the route group](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-group-loading.png)

Now, the `loading.tsx` file will only apply to your dashboard → overview page instead of all your dashboard pages without affecting the URL path structure.

### Creating multiple root layouts

To create multiple [root layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout), remove the top-level `layout.js` file, and add a `layout.js` file inside each route group. This is useful for partitioning an application into sections that have a completely different UI or experience. The `<html>` and `<body>` tags need to be added to each root layout.

![Route Groups with Multiple Root Layouts](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-group-multiple-root-layouts.png)

In the example above, both `(marketing)` and `(shop)` have their own root layout.

# Proxy
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Proxy

> **Good to know**: Starting with Next.js 16, Middleware is now called Proxy to better reflect its purpose. The functionality remains the same.

Proxy allows you to run code before a request is completed. Then, based on the incoming request, you can modify the response by rewriting, redirecting, modifying the request or response headers, or responding directly.

### Use cases

Some common scenarios where Proxy is effective include:

* Modifying headers for all pages or a subset of pages
* Rewriting to different pages based on A/B tests or experiments
* Programmatic redirects based on incoming request properties

For simple redirects, consider using the [`redirects`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md) configuration in `next.config.ts` first. Proxy should be used when you need access to request data or more complex logic.

Proxy is *not* intended for slow data fetching. While Proxy can be helpful for [optimistic checks](/docs/app/guides/authentication.md#optimistic-checks-with-proxy-optional) such as permission-based redirects, it should not be used as a full session management or authorization solution.

Using fetch with `options.cache`, `options.next.revalidate`, or `options.next.tags`, has no effect in Proxy.

### Convention

Create a `proxy.ts` (or `.js`) file in the project root, or inside `src` if applicable, so that it is located at the same level as `pages` or `app`.

> **Note**: While only one `proxy.ts` file is supported per project, you can still organize your proxy logic into modules. Break out proxy functionalities into separate `.ts` or `.js` files and import them into your main `proxy.ts` file. This allows for cleaner management of route-specific proxy, aggregated in the `proxy.ts` for centralized control. By enforcing a single proxy file, it simplifies configuration, prevents potential conflicts, and optimizes performance by avoiding multiple proxy layers.

### Example

You can export your proxy function as either a default export or a named `proxy` export:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

// This function can be marked `async` if using `await` inside
export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/home', request.url))
}

// Alternatively, you can use a default export:
// export default function proxy(request: NextRequest) { ... }

// See "Matching Paths" below to learn more
export const config = {
  matcher: '/about/:path*',
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

// This function can be marked `async` if using `await` inside
export function proxy(request) {
  return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/home', request.url))
}

// Alternatively, you can use a default export:
// export default function proxy(request) { ... }

// See "Matching Paths" below to learn more
export const config = {
  matcher: '/about/:path*',
}
```

# proxyClientMaxBodySize
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

When proxy is used, Next.js automatically clones the request body and buffers it in memory to enable multiple reads - both in proxy and the underlying route handler. To prevent excessive memory usage, this configuration option sets a size limit on the buffered body.

By default, the maximum body size is **10MB**. If a request body exceeds this limit, the body will only be buffered up to the limit, and a warning will be logged indicating which route exceeded the limit.

## Options

### String format (recommended)

Specify the size using a human-readable string format:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    proxyClientMaxBodySize: '1mb',
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    proxyClientMaxBodySize: '1mb',
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Supported units: `b`, `kb`, `mb`, `gb`

### Number format

Alternatively, specify the size in bytes as a number:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    proxyClientMaxBodySize: 1048576, // 1MB in bytes
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    proxyClientMaxBodySize: 1048576, // 1MB in bytes
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Behavior

When a request body exceeds the configured limit:

1. Next.js will buffer only the first N bytes (up to the limit)
2. A warning will be logged to the console indicating the route that exceeded the limit
3. The request will continue processing normally, but only the partial body will be available
4. The request will **not** fail or return an error to the client

If your application needs to process the full request body, you should either:

* Increase the `proxyClientMaxBodySize` limit
* Handle the partial body gracefully in your application logic

## Example

```ts filename="proxy.ts"
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  // Next.js automatically buffers the body with the configured size limit
  // You can read the body in proxy...
  const body = await request.text()

  // If the body exceeded the limit, only partial data will be available
  console.log('Body size:', body.length)

  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

```ts filename="app/api/upload/route.ts"
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
  // ...and the body is still available in your route handler
  const body = await request.text()

  console.log('Body in route handler:', body.length)

  return NextResponse.json({ received: body.length })
}
```

## Good to know

* This setting only applies when proxy is used in your application
* The default limit of 10MB is designed to balance memory usage and typical use cases
* The limit applies per-request, not globally across all concurrent requests
* For applications handling large file uploads, consider increasing the limit accordingly

# public Folder
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js can serve static files, like images, under a folder called `public` in the root directory. Files inside `public` can then be referenced by your code starting from the base URL (`/`).

For example, the file `public/avatars/me.png` can be viewed by visiting the `/avatars/me.png` path. The code to display that image might look like:

```jsx filename="avatar.js"
import Image from 'next/image'

export function Avatar({ id, alt }) {
  return <Image src={`/avatars/${id}.png`} alt={alt} width="64" height="64" />
}

export function AvatarOfMe() {
  return <Avatar id="me" alt="A portrait of me" />
}
```

## Caching

Next.js cannot safely cache assets in the `public` folder because they may change. The default caching headers applied are:

```jsx
Cache-Control: public, max-age=0
```

## Robots, Favicons, and others

For static metadata files, such as `robots.txt`, `favicon.ico`, etc, you should use [special metadata files](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata.md) inside the `app` folder.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/reactCompiler.md

# reactCompiler
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js includes support for the [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler/introduction), a tool designed to improve performance by automatically optimizing component rendering. This reduces the need for manual memoization using `useMemo` and `useCallback`.

Next.js includes a custom performance optimization written in SWC that makes the React Compiler more efficient. Instead of running the compiler on every file, Next.js analyzes your project and only applies the React Compiler to relevant files. This avoids unnecessary work and leads to faster builds compared to using the Babel plugin on its own.

## How It Works

The React Compiler runs through a Babel plugin. To keep builds fast, Next.js uses a custom SWC optimization that only applies the React Compiler to relevant files—like those with JSX or React Hooks.

This avoids compiling everything and keeps the performance cost minimal. You may still see slightly slower builds compared to the default Rust-based compiler, but the impact is small and localized.

To use it, install the `babel-plugin-react-compiler`:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -D babel-plugin-react-compiler
```

Then, add `reactCompiler` option in `next.config.js`:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Annotations

You can configure the compiler to run in "opt-in" mode as follows:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: {
    compilationMode: 'annotation',
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: {
    compilationMode: 'annotation',
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Then, you can annotate specific components or hooks with the `"use memo"` directive from React to opt-in:

```ts filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  'use memo'
  // ...
}
```

```js filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  'use memo'
  // ...
}
```

> **Note:** You can also use the `"use no memo"` directive from React for the opposite effect, to opt-out a component or hook.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/reactMaxHeadersLength.md

# reactMaxHeadersLength
@doc-version: 16.0.4


During static rendering, React can emit headers that can be added to the response. These can be used to improve performance by allowing the browser to preload resources like fonts, scripts, and stylesheets. The default value is `6000`, but you can override this value by configuring the `reactMaxHeadersLength` option in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  reactMaxHeadersLength: 1000,
}
```

> **Good to know**: This option is only available in App Router.

Depending on the type of proxy between the browser and the server, the headers can be truncated. For example, if you are using a reverse proxy that doesn't support long headers, you should set a lower value to ensure that the headers are not truncated.

# reactStrictMode
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Good to know**: Since Next.js 13.5.1, Strict Mode is `true` by default with `app` router, so the above configuration is only necessary for `pages`. You can still disable Strict Mode by setting `reactStrictMode: false`.

> **Suggested**: We strongly suggest you enable Strict Mode in your Next.js application to better prepare your application for the future of React.

React's [Strict Mode](https://react.dev/reference/react/StrictMode) is a development mode only feature for highlighting potential problems in an application. It helps to identify unsafe lifecycles, legacy API usage, and a number of other features.

The Next.js runtime is Strict Mode-compliant. To opt-in to Strict Mode, configure the following option in your `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
}
```

If you or your team are not ready to use Strict Mode in your entire application, that's OK! You can incrementally migrate on a page-by-page basis using `<React.StrictMode>`.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md

# redirect
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `redirect` function allows you to redirect the user to another URL. `redirect` can be used while rendering in [Server and Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

When used in a [streaming context](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#streaming), this will insert a meta tag to emit the redirect on the client side. When used in a server action, it will serve a 303 HTTP redirect response to the caller. Otherwise, it will serve a 307 HTTP redirect response to the caller.

If a resource doesn't exist, you can use the [`notFound` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md) instead.

## Reference

### Parameters

The `redirect` function accepts two arguments:

```js
redirect(path, type)
```

| Parameter | Type                                                          | Description                                                 |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `path`    | `string`                                                      | The URL to redirect to. Can be a relative or absolute path. |
| `type`    | `'replace'` (default) or `'push'` (default in Server Actions) | The type of redirect to perform.                            |

By default, `redirect` will use `push` (adding a new entry to the browser history stack) in [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md) and `replace` (replacing the current URL in the browser history stack) everywhere else. You can override this behavior by specifying the `type` parameter.

The `RedirectType` object contains the available options for the `type` parameter.

```ts
import { redirect, RedirectType } from 'next/navigation'

redirect('/redirect-to', RedirectType.replace)
// or
redirect('/redirect-to', RedirectType.push)
```

The `type` parameter has no effect when used in Server Components.

### Returns

`redirect` does not return a value.

## Behavior

* In Server Actions and Route Handlers, redirect should be called **outside** the `try` block when using `try/catch` statements.
* If you prefer to return a 308 (Permanent) HTTP redirect instead of 307 (Temporary), you can use the [`permanentRedirect` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/permanentRedirect.md) instead.
* `redirect` throws an error so it should be called **outside** the `try` block when using `try/catch` statements.
* `redirect` can be called in Client Components during the rendering process but not in event handlers. You can use the [`useRouter` hook](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) instead.
* `redirect` also accepts absolute URLs and can be used to redirect to external links.
* If you'd like to redirect before the render process, use [`next.config.js`](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md#redirects-in-nextconfigjs) or [Proxy](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md#nextresponseredirect-in-proxy).

## Example

### Server Component

Invoking the `redirect()` function throws a `NEXT_REDIRECT` error and terminates rendering of the route segment in which it was thrown.

```tsx filename="app/team/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

async function fetchTeam(id: string) {
  const res = await fetch('https://...')
  if (!res.ok) return undefined
  return res.json()
}

export default async function Profile({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const team = await fetchTeam(id)

  if (!team) {
    redirect('/login')
  }

  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/team/[id]/page.js" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

async function fetchTeam(id) {
  const res = await fetch('https://...')
  if (!res.ok) return undefined
  return res.json()
}

export default async function Profile({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const team = await fetchTeam(id)

  if (!team) {
    redirect('/login')
  }

  // ...
}
```

> **Good to know**: `redirect` does not require you to use `return redirect()` as it uses the TypeScript [`never`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/functions.html#never) type.

### Client Component

`redirect` can be directly used in a Client Component.

```tsx filename="components/client-redirect.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { redirect, usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export function ClientRedirect() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  if (pathname.startsWith('/admin') && !pathname.includes('/login')) {
    redirect('/admin/login')
  }

  return <div>Login Page</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="components/client-redirect.jsx" switcher
'use client'

import { redirect, usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export function ClientRedirect() {
  const pathname = usePathname()

  if (pathname.startsWith('/admin') && !pathname.includes('/login')) {
    redirect('/admin/login')
  }

  return <div>Login Page</div>
}
```

> **Good to know**: When using `redirect` in a Client Component on initial page load during Server-Side Rendering (SSR), it will perform a server-side redirect.

`redirect` can be used in a Client Component through a Server Action. If you need to use an event handler to redirect the user, you can use the [`useRouter`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) hook.

```tsx filename="app/client-redirect.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { navigate } from './actions'

export function ClientRedirect() {
  return (
    <form action={navigate}>
      <input type="text" name="id" />
      <button>Submit</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/client-redirect.jsx" switcher
'use client'

import { navigate } from './actions'

export function ClientRedirect() {
  return (
    <form action={navigate}>
      <input type="text" name="id" />
      <button>Submit</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function navigate(data: FormData) {
  redirect(`/posts/${data.get('id')}`)
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function navigate(data) {
  redirect(`/posts/${data.get('id')}`)
}
```

## FAQ

### Why does `redirect` use 307 and 308?

When using `redirect()` you may notice that the status codes used are `307` for a temporary redirect, and `308` for a permanent redirect. While traditionally a `302` was used for a temporary redirect, and a `301` for a permanent redirect, many browsers changed the request method of the redirect, from a `POST` to `GET` request when using a `302`, regardless of the origins request method.

Taking the following example of a redirect from `/users` to `/people`, if you make a `POST` request to `/users` to create a new user, and are conforming to a `302` temporary redirect, the request method will be changed from a `POST` to a `GET` request. This doesn't make sense, as to create a new user, you should be making a `POST` request to `/people`, and not a `GET` request.

The introduction of the `307` status code means that the request method is preserved as `POST`.

* `302` - Temporary redirect, will change the request method from `POST` to `GET`
* `307` - Temporary redirect, will preserve the request method as `POST`

The `redirect()` method uses a `307` by default, instead of a `302` temporary redirect, meaning your requests will *always* be preserved as `POST` requests.

## `redirect` function

The `redirect` function allows you to redirect the user to another URL. You can call `redirect` in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

`redirect` is often used after a mutation or event. For example, creating a post:

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(id: string) {
  try {
    // Call database
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle errors
  }

  revalidatePath('/posts') // Update cached posts
  redirect(`/post/${id}`) // Navigate to the new post page
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(id) {
  try {
    // Call database
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle errors
  }

  revalidatePath('/posts') // Update cached posts
  redirect(`/post/${id}`) // Navigate to the new post page
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `redirect` returns a 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code by default. When used in a Server Action, it returns a 303 (See Other), which is commonly used for redirecting to a success page as a result of a POST request.
> * `redirect` throws an error so it should be called **outside** the `try` block when using `try/catch` statements.
> * `redirect` can be called in Client Components during the rendering process but not in event handlers. You can use the [`useRouter` hook](#userouter-hook) instead.
> * `redirect` also accepts absolute URLs and can be used to redirect to external links.
> * If you'd like to redirect before the render process, use [`next.config.js`](#redirects-in-nextconfigjs) or [Proxy](#nextresponseredirect-in-proxy).

See the [`redirect` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) for more information.

## `permanentRedirect` function

The `permanentRedirect` function allows you to **permanently** redirect the user to another URL. You can call `permanentRedirect` in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), and [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

`permanentRedirect` is often used after a mutation or event that changes an entity's canonical URL, such as updating a user's profile URL after they change their username:

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { permanentRedirect } from 'next/navigation'
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUsername(username: string, formData: FormData) {
  try {
    // Call database
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle errors
  }

  revalidateTag('username') // Update all references to the username
  permanentRedirect(`/profile/${username}`) // Navigate to the new user profile
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { permanentRedirect } from 'next/navigation'
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUsername(username, formData) {
  try {
    // Call database
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle errors
  }

  revalidateTag('username') // Update all references to the username
  permanentRedirect(`/profile/${username}`) // Navigate to the new user profile
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `permanentRedirect` returns a 308 (permanent redirect) status code by default.
> * `permanentRedirect` also accepts absolute URLs and can be used to redirect to external links.
> * If you'd like to redirect before the render process, use [`next.config.js`](#redirects-in-nextconfigjs) or [Proxy](#nextresponseredirect-in-proxy).

See the [`permanentRedirect` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/permanentRedirect.md) for more information.

## `useRouter()` hook

If you need to redirect inside an event handler in a Client Component, you can use the `push` method from the `useRouter` hook. For example:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard')}>
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard')}>
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If you don't need to programmatically navigate a user, you should use a [`<Link>`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) component.

See the [`useRouter` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) for more information.

## `redirects` in `next.config.js`

The `redirects` option in the `next.config.js` file allows you to redirect an incoming request path to a different destination path. This is useful when you change the URL structure of pages or have a list of redirects that are known ahead of time.

`redirects` supports [path](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md#path-matching), [header, cookie, and query matching](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md#header-cookie-and-query-matching), giving you the flexibility to redirect users based on an incoming request.

To use `redirects`, add the option to your `next.config.js` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      // Basic redirect
      {
        source: '/about',
        destination: '/',
        permanent: true,
      },
      // Wildcard path matching
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug',
        destination: '/news/:slug',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      // Basic redirect
      {
        source: '/about',
        destination: '/',
        permanent: true,
      },
      // Wildcard path matching
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug',
        destination: '/news/:slug',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

See the [`redirects` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md) for more information.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `redirects` can return a 307 (Temporary Redirect) or 308 (Permanent Redirect) status code with the `permanent` option.
> * `redirects` may have a limit on platforms. For example, on Vercel, there's a limit of 1,024 redirects. To manage a large number of redirects (1000+), consider creating a custom solution using [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md). See [managing redirects at scale](#managing-redirects-at-scale-advanced) for more.
> * `redirects` runs **before** Proxy.

## `NextResponse.redirect` in Proxy

Proxy allows you to run code before a request is completed. Then, based on the incoming request, redirect to a different URL using `NextResponse.redirect`. This is useful if you want to redirect users based on a condition (e.g. authentication, session management, etc) or have [a large number of redirects](#managing-redirects-at-scale-advanced).

For example, to redirect the user to a `/login` page if they are not authenticated:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse, NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { authenticate } from 'auth-provider'

export function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const isAuthenticated = authenticate(request)

  // If the user is authenticated, continue as normal
  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return NextResponse.next()
  }

  // Redirect to login page if not authenticated
  return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url))
}

export const config = {
  matcher: '/dashboard/:path*',
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { authenticate } from 'auth-provider'

export function proxy(request) {
  const isAuthenticated = authenticate(request)

  // If the user is authenticated, continue as normal
  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return NextResponse.next()
  }

  // Redirect to login page if not authenticated
  return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url))
}

export const config = {
  matcher: '/dashboard/:path*',
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Proxy runs **after** `redirects` in `next.config.js` and **before** rendering.

See the [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) documentation for more information.

## Managing redirects at scale (advanced)

To manage a large number of redirects (1000+), you may consider creating a custom solution using Proxy. This allows you to handle redirects programmatically without having to redeploy your application.

To do this, you'll need to consider:

1. Creating and storing a redirect map.
2. Optimizing data lookup performance.

> **Next.js Example**: See our [Proxy with Bloom filter](https://redirects-bloom-filter.vercel.app/) example for an implementation of the recommendations below.

### 1. Creating and storing a redirect map

A redirect map is a list of redirects that you can store in a database (usually a key-value store) or JSON file.

Consider the following data structure:

```json
{
  "/old": {
    "destination": "/new",
    "permanent": true
  },
  "/blog/post-old": {
    "destination": "/blog/post-new",
    "permanent": true
  }
}
```

In [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md), you can read from a database such as Vercel's [Edge Config](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-config/get-started) or [Redis](https://vercel.com/docs/redis), and redirect the user based on the incoming request:

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse, NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { get } from '@vercel/edge-config'

type RedirectEntry = {
  destination: string
  permanent: boolean
}

export async function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.pathname
  const redirectData = await get(pathname)

  if (redirectData && typeof redirectData === 'string') {
    const redirectEntry: RedirectEntry = JSON.parse(redirectData)
    const statusCode = redirectEntry.permanent ? 308 : 307
    return NextResponse.redirect(redirectEntry.destination, statusCode)
  }

  // No redirect found, continue without redirecting
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { get } from '@vercel/edge-config'

export async function proxy(request) {
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.pathname
  const redirectData = await get(pathname)

  if (redirectData) {
    const redirectEntry = JSON.parse(redirectData)
    const statusCode = redirectEntry.permanent ? 308 : 307
    return NextResponse.redirect(redirectEntry.destination, statusCode)
  }

  // No redirect found, continue without redirecting
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

### 2. Optimizing data lookup performance

Reading a large dataset for every incoming request can be slow and expensive. There are two ways you can optimize data lookup performance:

* Use a database that is optimized for fast reads
* Use a data lookup strategy such as a [Bloom filter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter) to efficiently check if a redirect exists **before** reading the larger redirects file or database.

Considering the previous example, you can import a generated bloom filter file into Proxy, then, check if the incoming request pathname exists in the bloom filter.

If it does, forward the request to a [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md)  which will check the actual file and redirect the user to the appropriate URL. This avoids importing a large redirects file into Proxy, which can slow down every incoming request.

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
import { NextResponse, NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { ScalableBloomFilter } from 'bloom-filters'
import GeneratedBloomFilter from './redirects/bloom-filter.json'

type RedirectEntry = {
  destination: string
  permanent: boolean
}

// Initialize bloom filter from a generated JSON file
const bloomFilter = ScalableBloomFilter.fromJSON(GeneratedBloomFilter as any)

export async function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
  // Get the path for the incoming request
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.pathname

  // Check if the path is in the bloom filter
  if (bloomFilter.has(pathname)) {
    // Forward the pathname to the Route Handler
    const api = new URL(
      `/api/redirects?pathname=${encodeURIComponent(request.nextUrl.pathname)}`,
      request.nextUrl.origin
    )

    try {
      // Fetch redirect data from the Route Handler
      const redirectData = await fetch(api)

      if (redirectData.ok) {
        const redirectEntry: RedirectEntry | undefined =
          await redirectData.json()

        if (redirectEntry) {
          // Determine the status code
          const statusCode = redirectEntry.permanent ? 308 : 307

          // Redirect to the destination
          return NextResponse.redirect(redirectEntry.destination, statusCode)
        }
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
  }

  // No redirect found, continue the request without redirecting
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { ScalableBloomFilter } from 'bloom-filters'
import GeneratedBloomFilter from './redirects/bloom-filter.json'

// Initialize bloom filter from a generated JSON file
const bloomFilter = ScalableBloomFilter.fromJSON(GeneratedBloomFilter)

export async function proxy(request) {
  // Get the path for the incoming request
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.pathname

  // Check if the path is in the bloom filter
  if (bloomFilter.has(pathname)) {
    // Forward the pathname to the Route Handler
    const api = new URL(
      `/api/redirects?pathname=${encodeURIComponent(request.nextUrl.pathname)}`,
      request.nextUrl.origin
    )

    try {
      // Fetch redirect data from the Route Handler
      const redirectData = await fetch(api)

      if (redirectData.ok) {
        const redirectEntry = await redirectData.json()

        if (redirectEntry) {
          // Determine the status code
          const statusCode = redirectEntry.permanent ? 308 : 307

          // Redirect to the destination
          return NextResponse.redirect(redirectEntry.destination, statusCode)
        }
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error)
    }
  }

  // No redirect found, continue the request without redirecting
  return NextResponse.next()
}
```

Then, in the Route Handler:

```ts filename="app/api/redirects/route.ts" switcher
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import redirects from '@/app/redirects/redirects.json'

type RedirectEntry = {
  destination: string
  permanent: boolean
}

export function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('pathname')
  if (!pathname) {
    return new Response('Bad Request', { status: 400 })
  }

  // Get the redirect entry from the redirects.json file
  const redirect = (redirects as Record<string, RedirectEntry>)[pathname]

  // Account for bloom filter false positives
  if (!redirect) {
    return new Response('No redirect', { status: 400 })
  }

  // Return the redirect entry
  return NextResponse.json(redirect)
}
```

```js filename="app/api/redirects/route.js" switcher
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import redirects from '@/app/redirects/redirects.json'

export function GET(request) {
  const pathname = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('pathname')
  if (!pathname) {
    return new Response('Bad Request', { status: 400 })
  }

  // Get the redirect entry from the redirects.json file
  const redirect = redirects[pathname]

  // Account for bloom filter false positives
  if (!redirect) {
    return new Response('No redirect', { status: 400 })
  }

  // Return the redirect entry
  return NextResponse.json(redirect)
}
```

# redirects
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Redirects allow you to redirect an incoming request path to a different destination path.

To use redirects you can use the `redirects` key in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/about',
        destination: '/',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

`redirects` is an async function that expects an array to be returned holding objects with `source`, `destination`, and `permanent` properties:

* `source` is the incoming request path pattern.
* `destination` is the path you want to route to.
* `permanent` `true` or `false` - if `true` will use the 308 status code which instructs clients/search engines to cache the redirect forever, if `false` will use the 307 status code which is temporary and is not cached.

> **Why does Next.js use 307 and 308?** Traditionally a 302 was used for a temporary redirect, and a 301 for a permanent redirect, but many browsers changed the request method of the redirect to `GET`, regardless of the original method. For example, if the browser made a request to `POST /v1/users` which returned status code `302` with location `/v2/users`, the subsequent request might be `GET /v2/users` instead of the expected `POST /v2/users`. Next.js uses the 307 temporary redirect, and 308 permanent redirect status codes to explicitly preserve the request method used.

* `basePath`: `false` or `undefined` - if false the `basePath` won't be included when matching, can be used for external redirects only.
* `locale`: `false` or `undefined` - whether the locale should not be included when matching.
* `has` is an array of [has objects](#header-cookie-and-query-matching) with the `type`, `key` and `value` properties.
* `missing` is an array of [missing objects](#header-cookie-and-query-matching) with the `type`, `key` and `value` properties.

Redirects are checked before the filesystem which includes pages and `/public` files.

When using the Pages Router, redirects are not applied to client-side routing (`Link`, `router.push`) unless [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) is present and matches the path.

When a redirect is applied, any query values provided in the request will be passed through to the redirect destination. For example, see the following redirect configuration:

```js
{
  source: '/old-blog/:path*',
  destination: '/blog/:path*',
  permanent: false
}
```

> **Good to know**: Remember to include the forward slash `/` before the colon `:` in path parameters of the `source` and `destination` paths, otherwise the path will be treated as a literal string and you run the risk of causing infinite redirects.

When `/old-blog/post-1?hello=world` is requested, the client will be redirected to `/blog/post-1?hello=world`.

## Path Matching

Path matches are allowed, for example `/old-blog/:slug` will match `/old-blog/first-post` (no nested paths):

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/old-blog/:slug',
        destination: '/news/:slug', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

The pattern `/old-blog/:slug` matches `/old-blog/first-post` and `/old-blog/post-1` but not `/old-blog/a/b` (no nested paths). Patterns are anchored to the start: `/old-blog/:slug` will not match `/archive/old-blog/first-post`.

You can use modifiers on parameters: `*` (zero or more), `+` (one or more), `?` (zero or one). For example, `/blog/:slug*` matches `/blog`, `/blog/a`, and `/blog/a/b/c`.

Read more details on [path-to-regexp](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp) documentation.

### Wildcard Path Matching

To match a wildcard path you can use `*` after a parameter, for example `/blog/:slug*` will match `/blog/a/b/c/d/hello-world`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug*',
        destination: '/news/:slug*', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Regex Path Matching

To match a regex path you can wrap the regex in parentheses after a parameter, for example `/post/:slug(\\d{1,})` will match `/post/123` but not `/post/abc`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/post/:slug(\\d{1,})',
        destination: '/news/:slug', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
        permanent: false,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

The following characters `(`, `)`, `{`, `}`, `:`, `*`, `+`, `?` are used for regex path matching, so when used in the `source` as non-special values they must be escaped by adding `\\` before them:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        // this will match `/english(default)/something` being requested
        source: '/english\\(default\\)/:slug',
        destination: '/en-us/:slug',
        permanent: false,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

## Header, Cookie, and Query Matching

To only match a redirect when header, cookie, or query values also match the `has` field or don't match the `missing` field can be used. Both the `source` and all `has` items must match and all `missing` items must not match for the redirect to be applied.

`has` and `missing` items can have the following fields:

* `type`: `String` - must be either `header`, `cookie`, `host`, or `query`.
* `key`: `String` - the key from the selected type to match against.
* `value`: `String` or `undefined` - the value to check for, if undefined any value will match. A regex like string can be used to capture a specific part of the value, e.g. if the value `first-(?<paramName>.*)` is used for `first-second` then `second` will be usable in the destination with `:paramName`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      // if the header `x-redirect-me` is present,
      // this redirect will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path((?!another-page$).*)',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-redirect-me',
          },
        ],
        permanent: false,
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
      // if the header `x-do-not-redirect` is present,
      // this redirect will NOT be applied
      {
        source: '/:path((?!another-page$).*)',
        missing: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-do-not-redirect',
          },
        ],
        permanent: false,
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
      // if the source, query, and cookie are matched,
      // this redirect will be applied
      {
        source: '/specific/:path*',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'query',
            key: 'page',
            // the page value will not be available in the
            // destination since value is provided and doesn't
            // use a named capture group e.g. (?<page>home)
            value: 'home',
          },
          {
            type: 'cookie',
            key: 'authorized',
            value: 'true',
          },
        ],
        permanent: false,
        destination: '/another/:path*',
      },
      // if the header `x-authorized` is present and
      // contains a matching value, this redirect will be applied
      {
        source: '/',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-authorized',
            value: '(?<authorized>yes|true)',
          },
        ],
        permanent: false,
        destination: '/home?authorized=:authorized',
      },
      // if the host is `example.com`,
      // this redirect will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path((?!another-page$).*)',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'host',
            value: 'example.com',
          },
        ],
        permanent: false,
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Redirects with basePath support

When leveraging [`basePath` support](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md) with redirects each `source` and `destination` is automatically prefixed with the `basePath` unless you add `basePath: false` to the redirect:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  basePath: '/docs',

  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/with-basePath', // automatically becomes /docs/with-basePath
        destination: '/another', // automatically becomes /docs/another
        permanent: false,
      },
      {
        // does not add /docs since basePath: false is set
        source: '/without-basePath',
        destination: 'https://example.com',
        basePath: false,
        permanent: false,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Redirects with i18n support

When implementing redirects with internationalization in the App Router, you can include locales in `next.config.js` redirects, but only as hardcoded paths.

For dynamic or per-request locale handling, use [dynamic route segments and proxy](/docs/app/guides/internationalization.md), which can redirect based on the user's preferred language.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        // Manually handle locale prefixes for App Router
        source: '/en/old-path',
        destination: '/en/new-path',
        permanent: false,
      },
      {
        // Redirect for all locales using a parameter
        source: '/:locale/old-path',
        destination: '/:locale/new-path',
        permanent: false,
      },
      {
        // Redirect from one locale to another
        source: '/de/old-path',
        destination: '/en/new-path',
        permanent: false,
      },
      {
        // Catch-all redirect for multiple locales
        source: '/:locale(en|fr|de)/:path*',
        destination: '/:locale/new-section/:path*',
        permanent: false,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

In some rare cases, you might need to assign a custom status code for older HTTP Clients to properly redirect. In these cases, you can use the `statusCode` property instead of the `permanent` property, but not both. To ensure IE11 compatibility, a `Refresh` header is automatically added for the 308 status code.

## Other Redirects

* Inside [API Routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md) and [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), you can redirect based on the incoming request.
* Inside [`getStaticProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) and [`getServerSideProps`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md), you can redirect specific pages at request-time.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh.md

# refresh
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`refresh` allows you to refresh the client router from within a [Server Action](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

## Usage

`refresh` can **only** be called from within Server Actions. It cannot be used in Route Handlers, Client Components, or any other context.

## Parameters

```tsx
refresh(): void;
```

## Returns

`refresh` does not return a value.

## Examples

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Create the post in your database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: { title, content },
  })

  refresh()
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Create the post in your database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: { title, content },
  })

  refresh()
}
```

### Error when used outside Server Actions

```ts filename="app/api/posts/route.ts" switcher
import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function POST() {
  // This will throw an error
  refresh()
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering.md

# Rendering


By default, Next.js **pre-renders** every page. This means that Next.js generates HTML for each page in advance, instead of having it all done by client-side JavaScript. Pre-rendering can result in better performance and SEO.

Each generated HTML is associated with minimal JavaScript code necessary for that page. When a page is loaded by the browser, its JavaScript code runs and makes the page fully interactive (this process is called [hydration](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/client/hydrateRoot) in React).

### Pre-rendering

Next.js has two forms of pre-rendering: **Static Generation** and **Server-side Rendering**. The difference is in **when** it generates the HTML for a page.

* Static Generation: The HTML is generated at **build time** and will be reused on each request.
* Server-side Rendering: The HTML is generated on **each request**.

Importantly, Next.js lets you choose which pre-rendering form you'd like to use for each page. You can create a "hybrid" Next.js app by using Static Generation for most pages and using Server-side Rendering for others.

We recommend using Static Generation over Server-side Rendering for performance reasons. Statically generated pages can be cached by CDN with no extra configuration to boost performance. However, in some cases, Server-side Rendering might be the only option.

You can also use client-side data fetching along with Static Generation or Server-side Rendering. That means some parts of a page can be rendered entirely by clientside JavaScript. To learn more, take a look at the [Data Fetching](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/client-side.md) documentation.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md

# revalidatePath
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`revalidatePath` allows you to invalidate [cached data](/docs/app/guides/caching.md) on-demand for a specific path.

## Usage

`revalidatePath` can be called in Server Functions and Route Handlers.

`revalidatePath` cannot be called in Client Components or Proxy, as it only works in server environments.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * **Server Functions**: Updates the UI immediately (if viewing the affected path). Currently, it also causes all previously visited pages to refresh when navigated to again. This behavior is temporary and will be updated in the future to apply only to the specific path.
> * **Route Handlers**: Marks the path for revalidation. The revalidation is done on the next visit to the specified path. This means calling `revalidatePath` with a dynamic route segment will not immediately trigger many revalidations at once. The invalidation only happens when the path is next visited.

## Parameters

```tsx
revalidatePath(path: string, type?: 'page' | 'layout'): void;
```

* `path`: Either a route pattern corresponding to the data you want to revalidate, for example `/product/[slug]`, or a specific URL, `/product/123`. Do not append `/page` or `/layout`, use the `type` parameter instead. Must not exceed 1024 characters. This value is case-sensitive.
* `type`: (optional) `'page'` or `'layout'` string to change the type of path to revalidate. If `path` contains a dynamic segment, for example `/product/[slug]`, this parameter is required. If `path` is a specific URL, `/product/1`, omit `type`.

Use a specific URL when you want to refresh a [single page](#revalidating-a-specific-url). Use a route pattern plus `type` to refresh [multiple URLs](#revalidating-a-page-path).

## Returns

`revalidatePath` does not return a value.

## What can be invalidated

The path parameter can point to pages, layouts, or route handlers:

* **Pages**: Invalidates the specific page
* **Layouts**: Invalidates the layout (the `layout.tsx` at that segment), all nested layouts beneath it, and all pages beneath them
* **Route Handlers**: Invalidates Data Cache entries accessed within route handlers. For example `revalidatePath("/api/data")` invalidates this GET handler:

```ts filename="app/api/data/route.ts"
export async function GET() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog', {
    cache: 'force-cache',
  })

  return Response.json(await data.json())
}
```

## Relationship with `revalidateTag` and `updateTag`

`revalidatePath`, [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) and [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) serve different purposes:

* **`revalidatePath`**: Invalidates a specific page or layout path
* **`revalidateTag`**: Marks data with specific tags as **stale**. Applies across all pages that use those tags
* **`updateTag`**: Expires data with specific tags. Applies across all pages that use those tags

When you call `revalidatePath`, only the specified path gets fresh data on the next visit. Other pages that use the same data tags will continue to serve cached data until those specific tags are also revalidated:

```tsx
// Page A: /blog
const posts = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog', {
  next: { tags: ['posts'] },
})

// Page B: /dashboard
const recentPosts = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog?limit=5', {
  next: { tags: ['posts'] },
})
```

After calling `revalidatePath('/blog')`:

* **Page A (/blog)**: Shows fresh data (page re-rendered)
* **Page B (/dashboard)**: Still shows stale data (cache tag 'posts' not invalidated)

Learn about the difference between [`revalidateTag` and `updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md#differences-from-revalidatetag).

### Building revalidation utilities

`revalidatePath` and `updateTag` are complementary primitives that are often used together in utility functions to ensure comprehensive data consistency across your application:

```ts
'use server'

import { revalidatePath, updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updatePost() {
  await updatePostInDatabase()

  revalidatePath('/blog') // Refresh the blog page
  updateTag('posts') // Refresh all pages using 'posts' tag
}
```

This pattern ensures that both the specific page and any other pages using the same data remain consistent.

## Examples

### Revalidating a specific URL

```ts
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
revalidatePath('/blog/post-1')
```

This will invalidate one specific URL for revalidation on the next page visit.

### Revalidating a Page path

```ts
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
revalidatePath('/blog/[slug]', 'page')
// or with route groups
revalidatePath('/(main)/blog/[slug]', 'page')
```

This will invalidate any URL that matches the provided `page` file for revalidation on the next page visit. This will *not* invalidate pages beneath the specific page. For example, `/blog/[slug]` won't invalidate `/blog/[slug]/[author]`.

### Revalidating a Layout path

```ts
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
revalidatePath('/blog/[slug]', 'layout')
// or with route groups
revalidatePath('/(main)/post/[slug]', 'layout')
```

This will invalidate any URL that matches the provided `layout` file for revalidation on the next page visit. This will cause pages beneath with the same layout to be invalidated and revalidated on the next visit. For example, in the above case, `/blog/[slug]/[another]` would also be invalidated and revalidated on the next visit.

### Revalidating all data

```ts
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

revalidatePath('/', 'layout')
```

This will purge the Client-side Router Cache, and invalidate the Data Cache for revalidation on the next page visit.

### Server Function

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export default async function submit() {
  await submitForm()
  revalidatePath('/')
}
```

### Route Handler

```ts filename="app/api/revalidate/route.ts" switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const path = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('path')

  if (path) {
    revalidatePath(path)
    return Response.json({ revalidated: true, now: Date.now() })
  }

  return Response.json({
    revalidated: false,
    now: Date.now(),
    message: 'Missing path to revalidate',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/revalidate/route.js" switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function GET(request) {
  const path = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('path')

  if (path) {
    revalidatePath(path)
    return Response.json({ revalidated: true, now: Date.now() })
  }

  return Response.json({
    revalidated: false,
    now: Date.now(),
    message: 'Missing path to revalidate',
  })
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md

# revalidateTag
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`revalidateTag` allows you to invalidate [cached data](/docs/app/guides/caching.md) on-demand for a specific cache tag.

This function is ideal for content where a slight delay in updates is acceptable, such as blog posts, product catalogs, or documentation. Users receive stale content while fresh data loads in the background.

## Usage

`revalidateTag` can be called in Server Functions and Route Handlers.

`revalidateTag` cannot be called in Client Components or Proxy, as it only works in server environments.

### Revalidation Behavior

The revalidation behavior depends on whether you provide the second argument:

* **With `profile="max"` (recommended)**: The tag entry is marked as stale, and the next time a resource with that tag is visited, it will use stale-while-revalidate semantics. This means the stale content is served while fresh content is fetched in the background.
* **With a custom cache life profile**: For advanced usage, you can specify any cache life profile that your application has defined, allowing for custom revalidation behaviors tailored to your specific caching requirements.
* **Without the second argument (deprecated)**: The tag entry is expired immediately, and the next request to that resource will be a blocking revalidate/cache miss. This behavior is now deprecated, and you should either use `profile="max"` or migrate to [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md).

> **Good to know**: When using `profile="max"`, `revalidateTag` marks tagged data as stale, but fresh data is only fetched when pages using that tag are next visited. This means calling `revalidateTag` will not immediately trigger many revalidations at once. The invalidation only happens when any page using that tag is next visited.

## Parameters

```ts
revalidateTag(tag: string, profile: string | { expire?: number }): void;
```

* `tag`: A string representing the cache tag associated with the data you want to revalidate. Must not exceed 256 characters. This value is case-sensitive.
* `profile`: A string that specifies the revalidation behavior. The recommended value is `"max"` which provides stale-while-revalidate semantics, or any of the other default or custom profiles defined in [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheLife.md). Alternatively, you can pass an object with an `expire` property for custom expiration behavior.

Tags must first be assigned to cached data. You can do this in two ways:

* Using the [`next.tags`](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#fetch-optionsnexttags-and-revalidatetag) option with `fetch` for caching external API requests:

```tsx
fetch(url, { next: { tags: ['posts'] } })
```

* Using [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) inside cached functions or components with the `'use cache'` directive:

```tsx
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('posts')
  // ...
}
```

> **Good to know**: The single-argument form `revalidateTag(tag)` is deprecated. It currently works if TypeScript errors are suppressed, but this behavior may be removed in a future version. Update to the two-argument signature.

## Returns

`revalidateTag` does not return a value.

## Relationship with `revalidatePath`

`revalidateTag` invalidates data with specific tags across all pages that use those tags, while [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) invalidates specific page or layout paths.

> **Good to know**: These functions serve different purposes and may need to be used together for comprehensive data consistency. For detailed examples and considerations, see [relationship with revalidateTag and updateTag](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md#relationship-with-revalidatetag-and-updatetag) for more information.

## Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to use `revalidateTag` in different contexts. In both cases, we're using `profile="max"` to mark data as stale and use stale-while-revalidate semantics, which is the recommended approach for most use cases.

### Server Action

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function submit() {
  await addPost()
  revalidateTag('posts', 'max')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function submit() {
  await addPost()
  revalidateTag('posts', 'max')
}
```

### Route Handler

```ts filename="app/api/revalidate/route.ts" switcher
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const tag = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('tag')

  if (tag) {
    revalidateTag(tag, 'max')
    return Response.json({ revalidated: true, now: Date.now() })
  }

  return Response.json({
    revalidated: false,
    now: Date.now(),
    message: 'Missing tag to revalidate',
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/revalidate/route.js" switcher
import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function GET(request) {
  const tag = request.nextUrl.searchParams.get('tag')

  if (tag) {
    revalidateTag(tag, 'max')
    return Response.json({ revalidated: true, now: Date.now() })
  }

  return Response.json({
    revalidated: false,
    now: Date.now(),
    message: 'Missing tag to revalidate',
  })
}
```

> **Good to know**: For webhooks or third-party services that need immediate expiration, you can pass `{ expire: 0 }` as the second argument: `revalidateTag(tag, { expire: 0 })`. This pattern is necessary when external systems call your Route Handlers and require data to expire immediately. For all other cases, it's recommended to use [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) in Server Actions for immediate updates instead.

# rewrites
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Rewrites allow you to map an incoming request path to a different destination path.

Rewrites act as a URL proxy and mask the destination path, making it appear the user hasn't changed their location on the site. In contrast, [redirects](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md) will reroute to a new page and show the URL changes.

To use rewrites you can use the `rewrites` key in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/about',
        destination: '/',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

Rewrites are applied to client-side routing. In the example above, navigating to `<Link href="/about">` will serve content from `/` while keeping the URL as `/about`.

`rewrites` is an async function that expects to return either an array or an object of arrays (see below) holding objects with `source` and `destination` properties:

* `source`: `String` - is the incoming request path pattern.
* `destination`: `String` is the path you want to route to.
* `basePath`: `false` or `undefined` - if false the basePath won't be included when matching, can be used for external rewrites only.
* `locale`: `false` or `undefined` - whether the locale should not be included when matching.
* `has` is an array of [has objects](#header-cookie-and-query-matching) with the `type`, `key` and `value` properties.
* `missing` is an array of [missing objects](#header-cookie-and-query-matching) with the `type`, `key` and `value` properties.

When the `rewrites` function returns an array, rewrites are applied after checking the filesystem (pages and `/public` files) and before dynamic routes. When the `rewrites` function returns an object of arrays with a specific shape, this behavior can be changed and more finely controlled, as of `v10.1` of Next.js:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return {
      beforeFiles: [
        // These rewrites are checked after headers/redirects
        // and before all files including _next/public files which
        // allows overriding page files
        {
          source: '/some-page',
          destination: '/somewhere-else',
          has: [{ type: 'query', key: 'overrideMe' }],
        },
      ],
      afterFiles: [
        // These rewrites are checked after pages/public files
        // are checked but before dynamic routes
        {
          source: '/non-existent',
          destination: '/somewhere-else',
        },
      ],
      fallback: [
        // These rewrites are checked after both pages/public files
        // and dynamic routes are checked
        {
          source: '/:path*',
          destination: `https://my-old-site.com/:path*`,
        },
      ],
    }
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: rewrites in `beforeFiles` do not check the filesystem/dynamic routes immediately after matching a source, they continue until all `beforeFiles` have been checked.

The order Next.js routes are checked is:

1. [headers](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md) are checked/applied
2. [redirects](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md) are checked/applied
3. [proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md)
4. `beforeFiles` rewrites are checked/applied
5. static files from the [public directory](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/public-folder.md), `_next/static` files, and non-dynamic pages are checked/served
6. `afterFiles` rewrites are checked/applied, if one of these rewrites is matched we check dynamic routes/static files after each match
7. `fallback` rewrites are checked/applied, these are applied before rendering the 404 page and after dynamic routes/all static assets have been checked. If you use [fallback: true/'blocking'](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md#fallback-true) in `getStaticPaths`, the fallback `rewrites` defined in your `next.config.js` will *not* be run.

## Rewrite parameters

When using parameters in a rewrite the parameters will be passed in the query by default when none of the parameters are used in the `destination`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/old-about/:path*',
        destination: '/about', // The :path parameter isn't used here so will be automatically passed in the query
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

If a parameter is used in the destination none of the parameters will be automatically passed in the query.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/docs/:path*',
        destination: '/:path*', // The :path parameter is used here so will not be automatically passed in the query
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

You can still pass the parameters manually in the query if one is already used in the destination by specifying the query in the `destination`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/:first/:second',
        destination: '/:first?second=:second',
        // Since the :first parameter is used in the destination the :second parameter
        // will not automatically be added in the query although we can manually add it
        // as shown above
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: Static pages from [Automatic Static Optimization](/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/automatic-static-optimization.md) or [prerendering](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) params from rewrites will be parsed on the client after hydration and provided in the query.

## Path Matching

Path matches are allowed, for example `/blog/:slug` will match `/blog/first-post` (no nested paths):

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug',
        destination: '/news/:slug', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

The pattern `/blog/:slug` matches `/blog/first-post` and `/blog/post-1` but not `/blog/a/b` (no nested paths). Patterns are anchored to the start: `/blog/:slug` will not match `/archive/blog/first-post`.

You can use modifiers on parameters: `*` (zero or more), `+` (one or more), `?` (zero or one). For example, `/blog/:slug*` matches `/blog`, `/blog/a`, and `/blog/a/b/c`.

Read more details on [path-to-regexp](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp) documentation.

### Wildcard Path Matching

To match a wildcard path you can use `*` after a parameter, for example `/blog/:slug*` will match `/blog/a/b/c/d/hello-world`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug*',
        destination: '/news/:slug*', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Regex Path Matching

To match a regex path you can wrap the regex in parenthesis after a parameter, for example `/blog/:slug(\\d{1,})` will match `/blog/123` but not `/blog/abc`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/old-blog/:post(\\d{1,})',
        destination: '/blog/:post', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

The following characters `(`, `)`, `{`, `}`, `[`, `]`, `|`, `\`, `^`, `.`, `:`, `*`, `+`, `-`, `?`, `$` are used for regex path matching, so when used in the `source` as non-special values they must be escaped by adding `\\` before them:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        // this will match `/english(default)/something` being requested
        source: '/english\\(default\\)/:slug',
        destination: '/en-us/:slug',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

## Header, Cookie, and Query Matching

To only match a rewrite when header, cookie, or query values also match the `has` field or don't match the `missing` field can be used. Both the `source` and all `has` items must match and all `missing` items must not match for the rewrite to be applied.

`has` and `missing` items can have the following fields:

* `type`: `String` - must be either `header`, `cookie`, `host`, or `query`.
* `key`: `String` - the key from the selected type to match against.
* `value`: `String` or `undefined` - the value to check for, if undefined any value will match. A regex like string can be used to capture a specific part of the value, e.g. if the value `first-(?<paramName>.*)` is used for `first-second` then `second` will be usable in the destination with `:paramName`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      // if the header `x-rewrite-me` is present,
      // this rewrite will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path*',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-rewrite-me',
          },
        ],
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
      // if the header `x-rewrite-me` is not present,
      // this rewrite will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path*',
        missing: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-rewrite-me',
          },
        ],
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
      // if the source, query, and cookie are matched,
      // this rewrite will be applied
      {
        source: '/specific/:path*',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'query',
            key: 'page',
            // the page value will not be available in the
            // destination since value is provided and doesn't
            // use a named capture group e.g. (?<page>home)
            value: 'home',
          },
          {
            type: 'cookie',
            key: 'authorized',
            value: 'true',
          },
        ],
        destination: '/:path*/home',
      },
      // if the header `x-authorized` is present and
      // contains a matching value, this rewrite will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path*',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'header',
            key: 'x-authorized',
            value: '(?<authorized>yes|true)',
          },
        ],
        destination: '/home?authorized=:authorized',
      },
      // if the host is `example.com`,
      // this rewrite will be applied
      {
        source: '/:path*',
        has: [
          {
            type: 'host',
            value: 'example.com',
          },
        ],
        destination: '/another-page',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

## Rewriting to an external URL

<details>
<summary>Examples</summary>

* [Using Multiple Zones](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-zones)

</details>

Rewrites allow you to rewrite to an external URL. This is especially useful for incrementally adopting Next.js. The following is an example rewrite for redirecting the `/blog` route of your main app to an external site.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog',
        destination: 'https://example.com/blog',
      },
      {
        source: '/blog/:slug',
        destination: 'https://example.com/blog/:slug', // Matched parameters can be used in the destination
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

If you're using `trailingSlash: true`, you also need to insert a trailing slash in the `source` parameter. If the destination server is also expecting a trailing slash it should be included in the `destination` parameter as well.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  trailingSlash: true,
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/blog/',
        destination: 'https://example.com/blog/',
      },
      {
        source: '/blog/:path*/',
        destination: 'https://example.com/blog/:path*/',
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

### Incremental adoption of Next.js

You can also have Next.js fall back to proxying to an existing website after checking all Next.js routes.

This way you don't have to change the rewrites configuration when migrating more pages to Next.js

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async rewrites() {
    return {
      fallback: [
        {
          source: '/:path*',
          destination: `https://custom-routes-proxying-endpoint.vercel.app/:path*`,
        },
      ],
    }
  },
}
```

### Rewrites with basePath support

When leveraging [`basePath` support](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/basePath.md) with rewrites each `source` and `destination` is automatically prefixed with the `basePath` unless you add `basePath: false` to the rewrite:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  basePath: '/docs',

  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/with-basePath', // automatically becomes /docs/with-basePath
        destination: '/another', // automatically becomes /docs/another
      },
      {
        // does not add /docs to /without-basePath since basePath: false is set
        // Note: this can not be used for internal rewrites e.g. `destination: '/another'`
        source: '/without-basePath',
        destination: 'https://example.com',
        basePath: false,
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/robots.md

# robots.txt
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Add or generate a `robots.txt` file that matches the [Robots Exclusion Standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt#Standard) in the **root** of `app` directory to tell search engine crawlers which URLs they can access on your site.

## Static `robots.txt`

```txt filename="app/robots.txt"
User-Agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /private/

Sitemap: https://acme.com/sitemap.xml
```

## Generate a Robots file

Add a `robots.js` or `robots.ts` file that returns a [`Robots` object](#robots-object).

> **Good to know**: `robots.js` is a special Route Handlers that is cached by default unless it uses a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-apis) or [dynamic config](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#segment-config-options) option.

```ts filename="app/robots.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function robots(): MetadataRoute.Robots {
  return {
    rules: {
      userAgent: '*',
      allow: '/',
      disallow: '/private/',
    },
    sitemap: 'https://acme.com/sitemap.xml',
  }
}
```

```js filename="app/robots.js" switcher
export default function robots() {
  return {
    rules: {
      userAgent: '*',
      allow: '/',
      disallow: '/private/',
    },
    sitemap: 'https://acme.com/sitemap.xml',
  }
}
```

Output:

```txt
User-Agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /private/

Sitemap: https://acme.com/sitemap.xml
```

### Customizing specific user agents

You can customise how individual search engine bots crawl your site by passing an array of user agents to the `rules` property. For example:

```ts filename="app/robots.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function robots(): MetadataRoute.Robots {
  return {
    rules: [
      {
        userAgent: 'Googlebot',
        allow: ['/'],
        disallow: '/private/',
      },
      {
        userAgent: ['Applebot', 'Bingbot'],
        disallow: ['/'],
      },
    ],
    sitemap: 'https://acme.com/sitemap.xml',
  }
}
```

```js filename="app/robots.js" switcher
export default function robots() {
  return {
    rules: [
      {
        userAgent: 'Googlebot',
        allow: ['/'],
        disallow: ['/private/'],
      },
      {
        userAgent: ['Applebot', 'Bingbot'],
        disallow: ['/'],
      },
    ],
    sitemap: 'https://acme.com/sitemap.xml',
  }
}
```

Output:

```txt
User-Agent: Googlebot
Allow: /
Disallow: /private/

User-Agent: Applebot
Disallow: /

User-Agent: Bingbot
Disallow: /

Sitemap: https://acme.com/sitemap.xml
```

### Robots object

```tsx
type Robots = {
  rules:
    | {
        userAgent?: string | string[]
        allow?: string | string[]
        disallow?: string | string[]
        crawlDelay?: number
      }
    | Array<{
        userAgent: string | string[]
        allow?: string | string[]
        disallow?: string | string[]
        crawlDelay?: number
      }>
  sitemap?: string | string[]
  host?: string
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-groups.md

# Route Groups
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Route Groups are a folder convention that let you organize routes by category or team.

## Convention

A route group can be created by wrapping a folder's name in parenthesis: `(folderName)`.

This convention indicates the folder is for organizational purposes and should **not be included** in the route's URL path.

![An example folder structure using route groups](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-route-groups.png)

## Use cases

* Organizing routes by team, concern, or feature.
* Defining multiple [root layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#root-layout).
* Opting specific route segments into sharing a layout, while keeping others out.

## Caveats

* **Full page load**: If you navigate between routes that use different root layouts, it'll trigger a full page reload. For example, navigating from `/cart` that uses `app/(shop)/layout.js` to `/blog` that uses `app/(marketing)/layout.js`. This **only** applies to multiple root layouts.
* **Conflicting paths**: Routes in different groups should not resolve to the same URL path. For example, `(marketing)/about/page.js` and `(shop)/about/page.js` would both resolve to `/about` and cause an error.
* **Top-level root layout**: If you use multiple root layouts without a top-level `layout.js` file, make sure your home route (/) is defined within one of the route groups, e.g. app/(marketing)/page.js.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/getting-started/route-handlers.md

# Route Handlers
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Route Handlers

Route Handlers allow you to create custom request handlers for a given route using the Web [Request](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) and [Response](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Response) APIs.

![Route.js Special File](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/route-special-file.png)

> **Good to know**: Route Handlers are only available inside the `app` directory. They are the equivalent of [API Routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md) inside the `pages` directory meaning you **do not** need to use API Routes and Route Handlers together.

### Convention

Route Handlers are defined in a [`route.js|ts` file](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) inside the `app` directory:

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {}
```

Route Handlers can be nested anywhere inside the `app` directory, similar to `page.js` and `layout.js`. But there **cannot** be a `route.js` file at the same route segment level as `page.js`.

### Supported HTTP Methods

The following [HTTP methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods) are supported: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. If an unsupported method is called, Next.js will return a `405 Method Not Allowed` response.

### Extended `NextRequest` and `NextResponse` APIs

In addition to supporting the native [Request](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) and [Response](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Response) APIs, Next.js extends them with [`NextRequest`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md) and [`NextResponse`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-response.md) to provide convenient helpers for advanced use cases.

### Caching

Route Handlers are not cached by default. You can, however, opt into caching for `GET` methods. Other supported HTTP methods are **not** cached. To cache a `GET` method, use a [route config option](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic) such as `export const dynamic = 'force-static'` in your Route Handler file.

```ts filename="app/items/route.ts" switcher
export const dynamic = 'force-static'

export async function GET() {
  const res = await fetch('https://data.mongodb-api.com/...', {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'API-Key': process.env.DATA_API_KEY,
    },
  })
  const data = await res.json()

  return Response.json({ data })
}
```

```js filename="app/items/route.js" switcher
export const dynamic = 'force-static'

export async function GET() {
  const res = await fetch('https://data.mongodb-api.com/...', {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'API-Key': process.env.DATA_API_KEY,
    },
  })
  const data = await res.json()

  return Response.json({ data })
}
```

> **Good to know**: Other supported HTTP methods are **not** cached, even if they are placed alongside a `GET` method that is cached, in the same file.

#### With Cache Components

When [Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) is enabled, `GET` Route Handlers follow the same model as normal UI routes in your application. They run at request time by default, can be prerendered when they don't access dynamic or runtime data, and you can use `use cache` to include dynamic data in the static response.

**Static example** - doesn't access dynamic or runtime data, so it will be prerendered at build time:

```tsx filename="app/api/project-info/route.ts"
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({
    projectName: 'Next.js',
  })
}
```

**Dynamic example** - accesses non-deterministic operations. During the build, prerendering stops when `Math.random()` is called, deferring to request-time rendering:

```tsx filename="app/api/random-number/route.ts"
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({
    randomNumber: Math.random(),
  })
}
```

**Runtime data example** - accesses request-specific data. Prerendering terminates when runtime APIs like `headers()` are called:

```tsx filename="app/api/user-agent/route.ts"
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET() {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const userAgent = headersList.get('user-agent')

  return Response.json({ userAgent })
}
```

> **Good to know**: Prerendering stops if the `GET` handler accesses network requests, database queries, async file system operations, request object properties (like `req.url`, `request.headers`, `request.cookies`, `request.body`), runtime APIs like [`cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md), [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md), [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md), or non-deterministic operations.

**Cached example** - accesses dynamic data (database query) but caches it with `use cache`, allowing it to be included in the prerendered response:

```tsx filename="app/api/products/route.ts"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export async function GET() {
  const products = await getProducts()
  return Response.json(products)
}

async function getProducts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')

  return await db.query('SELECT * FROM products')
}
```

> **Good to know**: `use cache` cannot be used directly inside a Route Handler body; extract it to a helper function. Cached responses revalidate according to `cacheLife` when a new request arrives.

### Special Route Handlers

Special Route Handlers like [`sitemap.ts`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md), [`opengraph-image.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md), and [`icon.tsx`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md), and other [metadata files](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata.md) remain static by default unless they use Dynamic APIs or dynamic config options.

### Route Resolution

You can consider a `route` the lowest level routing primitive.

* They **do not** participate in layouts or client-side navigations like `page`.
* There **cannot** be a `route.js` file at the same route as `page.js`.

| Page                 | Route              | Result                       |
| -------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| `app/page.js`        | `app/route.js`     |  Conflict |
| `app/page.js`        | `app/api/route.js` |  Valid    |
| `app/[user]/page.js` | `app/api/route.js` |  Valid    |

Each `route.js` or `page.js` file takes over all HTTP verbs for that route.

```ts filename="app/page.ts" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return <h1>Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}

### Route Context Helper

In TypeScript, you can type the `context` parameter for Route Handlers with the globally available [`RouteContext`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#route-context-helper) helper:

```ts filename="app/users/[id]/route.ts" switcher
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(_req: NextRequest, ctx: RouteContext<'/users/[id]'>) {
  const { id } = await ctx.params
  return Response.json({ id })
}
```

> **Good to know**
>
> * Types are generated during `next dev`, `next build` or `next typegen`.

# Route Segment Config
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Good to know**:
>
> * The options outlined on this page are disabled if the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) flag is on, and will eventually be deprecated in the future.
> * Route Segment options only take effect in Server Component Pages, Layouts, or Route Handlers.
> * `generateStaticParams` cannot be used inside a `'use client'` file.

The Route Segment options allows you to configure the behavior of a [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), [Layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) by directly exporting the following variables:

| Option                                | Type                                                                                                                      | Default                    |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| [`dynamic`](#dynamic)                 | `'auto' \| 'force-dynamic' \| 'error' \| 'force-static'`                                                                  | `'auto'`                   |
| [`dynamicParams`](#dynamicparams)     | `boolean`                                                                                                                 | `true`                     |
| [`revalidate`](#revalidate)           | `false \| 0 \| number`                                                                                                    | `false`                    |
| [`fetchCache`](#fetchcache)           | `'auto' \| 'default-cache' \| 'only-cache' \| 'force-cache' \| 'force-no-store' \| 'default-no-store' \| 'only-no-store'` | `'auto'`                   |

| [`maxDuration`](#maxduration)         | `number`                                                                                                                  | Set by deployment platform |

## Options

### `dynamic`

Change the dynamic behavior of a layout or page to fully static or fully dynamic.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const dynamic = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'force-dynamic' | 'error' | 'force-static'
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const dynamic = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'force-dynamic' | 'error' | 'force-static'
```

> **Good to know**: The new model in the `app` directory favors granular caching control at the `fetch` request level over the binary all-or-nothing model of `getServerSideProps` and `getStaticProps` at the page-level in the `pages` directory. The `dynamic` option is a way to opt back in to the previous model as a convenience and provides a simpler migration path.

* **`'auto'`** (default): The default option to cache as much as possible without preventing any components from opting into dynamic behavior.

* **`'force-dynamic'`**: Force [dynamic rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering), which will result in routes being rendered for each user at request time. This option is equivalent to:
  * Setting the option of every `fetch()` request in a layout or page to `{ cache: 'no-store', next: { revalidate: 0 } }`.
  * Setting the segment config to `export const fetchCache = 'force-no-store'`

* **`'error'`**: Force static rendering and cache the data of a layout or page by causing an error if any components use [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) or uncached data. This option is equivalent to:
  * `getStaticProps()` in the `pages` directory.
  * Setting the option of every `fetch()` request in a layout or page to `{ cache: 'force-cache' }`.
  * Setting the segment config to `fetchCache = 'only-cache'`.

* **`'force-static'`**: Force static rendering and cache the data of a layout or page by forcing [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md), [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) and [`useSearchParams()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md) to return empty values. It is possible to [`revalidate`](#revalidate), [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md), or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md), in pages or layouts rendered with `force-static`.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Instructions on [how to migrate](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md#step-6-migrating-data-fetching-methods) from `getServerSideProps` and `getStaticProps` to `dynamic: 'force-dynamic'` and `dynamic: 'error'` can be found in the [upgrade guide](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md#step-6-migrating-data-fetching-methods).

### `dynamicParams`

Control what happens when a dynamic segment is visited that was not generated with [generateStaticParams](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md).

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx" switcher
export const dynamicParams = true // true | false
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const dynamicParams = true // true | false
```

* **`true`** (default): Dynamic segments not included in `generateStaticParams` are generated on demand.
* **`false`**: Dynamic segments not included in `generateStaticParams` will return a 404.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * This option replaces the `fallback: true | false | blocking` option of `getStaticPaths` in the `pages` directory.
> * To statically render all paths the first time they're visited, you'll need to return an empty array in `generateStaticParams` or utilize `export const dynamic = 'force-static'`.
> * When `dynamicParams = true`, the segment uses [Streaming Server Rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#streaming).

### `revalidate`

Set the default revalidation time for a layout or page. This option does not override the `revalidate` value set by individual `fetch` requests.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const revalidate = false
// false | 0 | number
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const revalidate = false
// false | 0 | number
```

* **`false`** (default): The default heuristic to cache any `fetch` requests that set their `cache` option to `'force-cache'` or are discovered before a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) is used. Semantically equivalent to `revalidate: Infinity` which effectively means the resource should be cached indefinitely. It is still possible for individual `fetch` requests to use `cache: 'no-store'` or `revalidate: 0` to avoid being cached and make the route dynamically rendered. Or set `revalidate` to a positive number lower than the route default to increase the revalidation frequency of a route.
* **`0`**: Ensure a layout or page is always [dynamically rendered](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) even if no Dynamic APIs or uncached data fetches are discovered. This option changes the default of `fetch` requests that do not set a `cache` option to `'no-store'` but leaves `fetch` requests that opt into `'force-cache'` or use a positive `revalidate` as is.
* **`number`**: (in seconds) Set the default revalidation frequency of a layout or page to `n` seconds.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The revalidate value needs to be statically analyzable. For example `revalidate = 600` is valid, but `revalidate = 60 * 10` is not.
> * The revalidate value is not available when using `runtime = 'edge'`.
> * In Development, Pages are *always* rendered on-demand and are never cached. This allows you to see changes immediately without waiting for a revalidation period to pass.

#### Revalidation Frequency

* The lowest `revalidate` across each layout and page of a single route will determine the revalidation frequency of the *entire* route. This ensures that child pages are revalidated as frequently as their parent layouts.
* Individual `fetch` requests can set a lower `revalidate` than the route's default `revalidate` to increase the revalidation frequency of the entire route. This allows you to dynamically opt-in to more frequent revalidation for certain routes based on some criteria.

### `fetchCache`

<details>
<summary>This is an advanced option that should only be used if you specifically need to override the default behavior.</summary>

By default, Next.js **will cache** any `fetch()` requests that are reachable **before** any [Dynamic APIs](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering) are used and **will not cache** `fetch` requests that are discovered **after** Dynamic APIs are used.

`fetchCache` allows you to override the default `cache` option of all `fetch` requests in a layout or page.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const fetchCache = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'default-cache' | 'only-cache'
// 'force-cache' | 'force-no-store' | 'default-no-store' | 'only-no-store'
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const fetchCache = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'default-cache' | 'only-cache'
// 'force-cache' | 'force-no-store' | 'default-no-store' | 'only-no-store'
```

* **`'auto'`** (default): The default option to cache `fetch` requests before Dynamic APIs with the `cache` option they provide and not cache `fetch` requests after Dynamic APIs.
* **`'default-cache'`**: Allow any `cache` option to be passed to `fetch` but if no option is provided then set the `cache` option to `'force-cache'`. This means that even `fetch` requests after Dynamic APIs are considered static.
* **`'only-cache'`**: Ensure all `fetch` requests opt into caching by changing the default to `cache: 'force-cache'` if no option is provided and causing an error if any `fetch` requests use `cache: 'no-store'`.
* **`'force-cache'`**: Ensure all `fetch` requests opt into caching by setting the `cache` option of all `fetch` requests to `'force-cache'`.
* **`'default-no-store'`**: Allow any `cache` option to be passed to `fetch` but if no option is provided then set the `cache` option to `'no-store'`. This means that even `fetch` requests before Dynamic APIs are considered dynamic.
* **`'only-no-store'`**: Ensure all `fetch` requests opt out of caching by changing the default to `cache: 'no-store'` if no option is provided and causing an error if any `fetch` requests use `cache: 'force-cache'`
* **`'force-no-store'`**: Ensure all `fetch` requests opt out of caching by setting the `cache` option of all `fetch` requests to `'no-store'`. This forces all `fetch` requests to be re-fetched every request even if they provide a `'force-cache'` option.

#### Cross-route segment behavior

* Any options set across each layout and page of a single route need to be compatible with each other.
  * If both the `'only-cache'` and `'force-cache'` are provided, then `'force-cache'` wins. If both `'only-no-store'` and `'force-no-store'` are provided, then `'force-no-store'` wins. The force option changes the behavior across the route so a single segment with `'force-*'` would prevent any errors caused by `'only-*'`.
  * The intention of the `'only-*'` and `'force-*'` options is to guarantee the whole route is either fully static or fully dynamic. This means:
    * A combination of `'only-cache'` and `'only-no-store'` in a single route is not allowed.
    * A combination of `'force-cache'` and `'force-no-store'` in a single route is not allowed.
  * A parent cannot provide `'default-no-store'` if a child provides `'auto'` or `'*-cache'` since that could make the same fetch have different behavior.
* It is generally recommended to leave shared parent layouts as `'auto'` and customize the options where child segments diverge.

</details>

### `runtime`

We recommend using the Node.js runtime for rendering your application. This option cannot be used in [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md).

> **Good to know**: Using `runtime: 'edge'` is **not supported** for Cache Components.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const runtime = 'nodejs'
// 'nodejs' | 'edge'
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const runtime = 'nodejs'
// 'nodejs' | 'edge'
```

* **`'nodejs'`** (default)
* **`'edge'`**

### `preferredRegion`

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const preferredRegion = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'global' | 'home' | ['iad1', 'sfo1']
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const preferredRegion = 'auto'
// 'auto' | 'global' | 'home' | ['iad1', 'sfo1']
```

Support for `preferredRegion`, and regions supported, is dependent on your deployment platform.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If a `preferredRegion` is not specified, it will inherit the option of the nearest parent layout.
> * The root layout defaults to `all` regions.

### `maxDuration`

By default, Next.js does not limit the execution of server-side logic (rendering a page or handling an API).
Deployment platforms can use `maxDuration` from the Next.js build output to add specific execution limits.

**Note**: This setting requires Next.js `13.4.10` or higher.

```tsx filename="layout.tsx | page.tsx | route.ts" switcher
export const maxDuration = 5
```

```js filename="layout.js | page.js | route.js" switcher
export const maxDuration = 5
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If using [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md), set the `maxDuration` at the page level to change the default timeout of all Server Actions used on the page.

### `generateStaticParams`

The `generateStaticParams` function can be used in combination with [dynamic route segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) to define the list of route segment parameters that will be statically generated at build time instead of on-demand at request time.

See the [API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-static-params.md) for more details.

Route Handlers allow you to create custom request handlers for a given route using the Web [Request](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) and [Response](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Response) APIs.

```ts filename="route.ts" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({ message: 'Hello World' })
}
```

```js filename="route.js" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({ message: 'Hello World' })
}
```

## Reference

### HTTP Methods

A **route** file allows you to create custom request handlers for a given route. The following [HTTP methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods) are supported: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`.

```ts filename="route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {}

export async function HEAD(request: Request) {}

export async function POST(request: Request) {}

export async function PUT(request: Request) {}

export async function DELETE(request: Request) {}

export async function PATCH(request: Request) {}

// If `OPTIONS` is not defined, Next.js will automatically implement `OPTIONS` and set the appropriate Response `Allow` header depending on the other methods defined in the Route Handler.
export async function OPTIONS(request: Request) {}
```

```js filename="route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {}

export async function HEAD(request) {}

export async function POST(request) {}

export async function PUT(request) {}

export async function DELETE(request) {}

export async function PATCH(request) {}

// If `OPTIONS` is not defined, Next.js will automatically implement `OPTIONS` and set the appropriate Response `Allow` header depending on the other methods defined in the Route Handler.
export async function OPTIONS(request) {}
```

### Parameters

#### `request` (optional)

The `request` object is a [NextRequest](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md) object, which is an extension of the Web [Request](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Request) API. `NextRequest` gives you further control over the incoming request, including easily accessing `cookies` and an extended, parsed, URL object `nextUrl`.

```ts filename="route.ts" switcher
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const url = request.nextUrl
}
```

```js filename="route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {
  const url = request.nextUrl
}
```

#### `context` (optional)

* **`params`**: a promise that resolves to an object containing the [dynamic route parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) for the current route.

```ts filename="app/dashboard/[team]/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(
  request: Request,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ team: string }> }
) {
  const { team } = await params
}
```

```js filename="app/dashboard/[team]/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request, { params }) {
  const { team } = await params
}
```

| Example                          | URL            | `params`                           |
| -------------------------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `app/dashboard/[team]/route.js`  | `/dashboard/1` | `Promise<{ team: '1' }>`           |
| `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/route.js` | `/shop/1/2`    | `Promise<{ tag: '1', item: '2' }>` |
| `app/blog/[...slug]/route.js`    | `/blog/1/2`    | `Promise<{ slug: ['1', '2'] }>`    |

### Route Context Helper

You can type the Route Handler context using `RouteContext` to get strongly typed `params` from a route literal. `RouteContext` is a globally available helper.

```ts filename="app/users/[id]/route.ts"
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(_req: NextRequest, ctx: RouteContext<'/users/[id]'>) {
  const { id } = await ctx.params
  return Response.json({ id })
}
```

> **Good to know**
>
> * Types are generated during `next dev`, `next build` or `next typegen`.
> * After type generation, the `RouteContext` helper is globally available. It doesn't need to be imported.

## Examples

### Cookies

You can read or set cookies with [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) from `next/headers`.

```ts filename="route.ts" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  const a = cookieStore.get('a')
  const b = cookieStore.set('b', '1')
  const c = cookieStore.delete('c')
}
```

```js filename="route.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  const a = cookieStore.get('a')
  const b = cookieStore.set('b', '1')
  const c = cookieStore.delete('c')
}
```

Alternatively, you can return a new `Response` using the [`Set-Cookie`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie) header.

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const token = cookieStore.get('token')

  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Set-Cookie': `token=${token.value}` },
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const token = cookieStore.get('token')

  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { 'Set-Cookie': `token=${token.value}` },
  })
}
```

You can also use the underlying Web APIs to read cookies from the request ([`NextRequest`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md)):

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const token = request.cookies.get('token')
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {
  const token = request.cookies.get('token')
}
```

### Headers

You can read headers with [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) from `next/headers`.

```ts filename="route.ts" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const referer = headersList.get('referer')
}
```

```js filename="route.js" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request) {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const referer = headersList.get('referer')
}
```

This `headers` instance is read-only. To set headers, you need to return a new `Response` with new `headers`.

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const referer = headersList.get('referer')

  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { referer: referer },
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { headers } from 'next/headers'

export async function GET(request) {
  const headersList = await headers()
  const referer = headersList.get('referer')

  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: { referer: referer },
  })
}
```

You can also use the underlying Web APIs to read headers from the request ([`NextRequest`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md)):

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const requestHeaders = new Headers(request.headers)
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {
  const requestHeaders = new Headers(request.headers)
}
```

### Revalidating Cached Data

You can [revalidate cached data](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md) using the `revalidate` route segment config option.

```ts filename="app/posts/route.ts" switcher
export const revalidate = 60

export async function GET() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await data.json()

  return Response.json(posts)
}
```

```js filename="app/posts/route.js" switcher
export const revalidate = 60

export async function GET() {
  const data = await fetch('https://api.vercel.app/blog')
  const posts = await data.json()

  return Response.json(posts)
}
```

### Redirects

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  redirect('https://nextjs.org/')
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function GET(request) {
  redirect('https://nextjs.org/')
}
```

### Dynamic Route Segments

Route Handlers can use [Dynamic Segments](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) to create request handlers from dynamic data.

```ts filename="app/items/[slug]/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(
  request: Request,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ slug: string }> }
) {
  const { slug } = await params // 'a', 'b', or 'c'
}
```

```js filename="app/items/[slug]/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request, { params }) {
  const { slug } = await params // 'a', 'b', or 'c'
}
```

| Route                       | Example URL | `params`                 |
| --------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------ |
| `app/items/[slug]/route.js` | `/items/a`  | `Promise<{ slug: 'a' }>` |
| `app/items/[slug]/route.js` | `/items/b`  | `Promise<{ slug: 'b' }>` |
| `app/items/[slug]/route.js` | `/items/c`  | `Promise<{ slug: 'c' }>` |

### URL Query Parameters

The request object passed to the Route Handler is a `NextRequest` instance, which includes [some additional convenience methods](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/next-request.md#nexturl), such as those for more easily handling query parameters.

```ts filename="app/api/search/route.ts" switcher
import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  const searchParams = request.nextUrl.searchParams
  const query = searchParams.get('query')
  // query is "hello" for /api/search?query=hello
}
```

```js filename="app/api/search/route.js" switcher
export function GET(request) {
  const searchParams = request.nextUrl.searchParams
  const query = searchParams.get('query')
  // query is "hello" for /api/search?query=hello
}
```

### Streaming

Streaming is commonly used in combination with Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI, for AI-generated content. Learn more about the [AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/introduction).

```ts filename="app/api/chat/route.ts" switcher
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
import { StreamingTextResponse, streamText } from 'ai'

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const { messages } = await req.json()
  const result = await streamText({
    model: openai('gpt-4-turbo'),
    messages,
  })

  return new StreamingTextResponse(result.toAIStream())
}
```

```js filename="app/api/chat/route.js" switcher
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
import { StreamingTextResponse, streamText } from 'ai'

export async function POST(req) {
  const { messages } = await req.json()
  const result = await streamText({
    model: openai('gpt-4-turbo'),
    messages,
  })

  return new StreamingTextResponse(result.toAIStream())
}
```

These abstractions use the Web APIs to create a stream. You can also use the underlying Web APIs directly.

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
// https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#convert_async_iterator_to_stream
function iteratorToStream(iterator: any) {
  return new ReadableStream({
    async pull(controller) {
      const { value, done } = await iterator.next()

      if (done) {
        controller.close()
      } else {
        controller.enqueue(value)
      }
    },
  })
}

function sleep(time: number) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, time)
  })
}

const encoder = new TextEncoder()

async function* makeIterator() {
  yield encoder.encode('<p>One</p>')
  await sleep(200)
  yield encoder.encode('<p>Two</p>')
  await sleep(200)
  yield encoder.encode('<p>Three</p>')
}

export async function GET() {
  const iterator = makeIterator()
  const stream = iteratorToStream(iterator)

  return new Response(stream)
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
// https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#convert_async_iterator_to_stream
function iteratorToStream(iterator) {
  return new ReadableStream({
    async pull(controller) {
      const { value, done } = await iterator.next()

      if (done) {
        controller.close()
      } else {
        controller.enqueue(value)
      }
    },
  })
}

function sleep(time) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, time)
  })
}

const encoder = new TextEncoder()

async function* makeIterator() {
  yield encoder.encode('<p>One</p>')
  await sleep(200)
  yield encoder.encode('<p>Two</p>')
  await sleep(200)
  yield encoder.encode('<p>Three</p>')
}

export async function GET() {
  const iterator = makeIterator()
  const stream = iteratorToStream(iterator)

  return new Response(stream)
}
```

### Request Body

You can read the `Request` body using the standard Web API methods:

```ts filename="app/items/route.ts" switcher
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const res = await request.json()
  return Response.json({ res })
}
```

```js filename="app/items/route.js" switcher
export async function POST(request) {
  const res = await request.json()
  return Response.json({ res })
}
```

### Request Body FormData

You can read the `FormData` using the `request.formData()` function:

```ts filename="app/items/route.ts" switcher
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const formData = await request.formData()
  const name = formData.get('name')
  const email = formData.get('email')
  return Response.json({ name, email })
}
```

```js filename="app/items/route.js" switcher
export async function POST(request) {
  const formData = await request.formData()
  const name = formData.get('name')
  const email = formData.get('email')
  return Response.json({ name, email })
}
```

Since `formData` data are all strings, you may want to use [`zod-form-data`](https://www.npmjs.com/zod-form-data) to validate the request and retrieve data in the format you prefer (e.g. `number`).

### CORS

You can set CORS headers for a specific Route Handler using the standard Web API methods:

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET(request: Request) {
  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
      'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS',
      'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type, Authorization',
    },
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function GET(request) {
  return new Response('Hello, Next.js!', {
    status: 200,
    headers: {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
      'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS',
      'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type, Authorization',
    },
  })
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * To add CORS headers to multiple Route Handlers, you can use [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md#cors) or the [`next.config.js` file](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md#cors).

### Webhooks

You can use a Route Handler to receive webhooks from third-party services:

```ts filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  try {
    const text = await request.text()
    // Process the webhook payload
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(`Webhook error: ${error.message}`, {
      status: 400,
    })
  }

  return new Response('Success!', {
    status: 200,
  })
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
export async function POST(request) {
  try {
    const text = await request.text()
    // Process the webhook payload
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(`Webhook error: ${error.message}`, {
      status: 400,
    })
  }

  return new Response('Success!', {
    status: 200,
  })
}
```

Notably, unlike API Routes with the Pages Router, you do not need to use `bodyParser` to use any additional configuration.

### Non-UI Responses

You can use Route Handlers to return non-UI content. Note that [`sitemap.xml`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md#generating-a-sitemap-using-code-js-ts), [`robots.txt`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/robots.md#generate-a-robots-file), [`app icons`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md#generate-icons-using-code-js-ts-tsx), and [open graph images](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md) all have built-in support.

```ts filename="app/rss.xml/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return new Response(
    `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>
  <title>Next.js Documentation</title>
  <link>https://nextjs.org/docs</link>
  <description>The React Framework for the Web</description>
</channel>

</rss>`,
    {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'text/xml',
      },
    }
  )
}
```

```js filename="app/rss.xml/route.js" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return new Response(`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

<channel>
  <title>Next.js Documentation</title>
  <link>https://nextjs.org/docs</link>
  <description>The React Framework for the Web</description>
</channel>

</rss>`)
}
```

### Segment Config Options

Route Handlers use the same [route segment configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) as pages and layouts.

```ts filename="app/items/route.ts" switcher
export const dynamic = 'auto'
export const dynamicParams = true
export const revalidate = false
export const fetchCache = 'auto'
export const runtime = 'nodejs'
export const preferredRegion = 'auto'
```

```js filename="app/items/route.js" switcher
export const dynamic = 'auto'
export const dynamicParams = true
export const revalidate = false
export const fetchCache = 'auto'
export const runtime = 'nodejs'
export const preferredRegion = 'auto'
```

See the [API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) for more details.

# Routing


The Pages Router has a file-system based router built on concepts of pages. When a file is added to the `pages` directory it's automatically available as a route. Learn more about routing in the Pages Router:

- [Pages and Layouts](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts.md)
  - Create your first page and shared layout with the Pages Router.
- [Dynamic Routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md)
  - Dynamic Routes are pages that allow you to add custom params to your URLs. Start creating Dynamic Routes and learn more here.
- [Linking and Navigating](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/linking-and-navigating.md)
  - Learn how navigation works in Next.js, and how to use the Link Component and `useRouter` hook.
- [Custom App](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md)
  - Control page initialization and add a layout that persists for all pages by overriding the default App component used by Next.js.
- [Custom Document](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-document.md)
  - Extend the default document markup added by Next.js.
- [API Routes](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes.md)

# How to use Sass
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js has built-in support for integrating with Sass after the package is installed using both the `.scss` and `.sass` extensions. You can use component-level Sass via CSS Modules and the `.module.scss`or `.module.sass` extension.

First, install [`sass`](https://github.com/sass/sass):

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install --save-dev sass
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> Sass supports [two different syntaxes](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax), each with their own extension.
> The `.scss` extension requires you use the [SCSS syntax](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss),
> while the `.sass` extension requires you use the [Indented Syntax ("Sass")](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#the-indented-syntax).
>
> If you're not sure which to choose, start with the `.scss` extension which is a superset of CSS, and doesn't require you learn the
> Indented Syntax ("Sass").

### Customizing Sass Options

If you want to configure your Sass options, use `sassOptions` in `next.config`.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    additionalData: `$var: red;`,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

const nextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    additionalData: `$var: red;`,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

#### Implementation

You can use the `implementation` property to specify the Sass implementation to use. By default, Next.js uses the [`sass`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass) package.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    implementation: 'sass-embedded',
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

const nextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    implementation: 'sass-embedded',
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### Sass Variables

Next.js supports Sass variables exported from CSS Module files.

For example, using the exported `primaryColor` Sass variable:

```scss filename="app/variables.module.scss"
$primary-color: #64ff00;

:export {
  primaryColor: $primary-color;
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
// maps to root `/` URL

import variables from './variables.module.scss'

export default function Page() {
  return <h1 style={{ color: variables.primaryColor }}>Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
```

---

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/sassOptions.md

# sassOptions
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`sassOptions` allow you to configure the Sass compiler.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const sassOptions = {
  additionalData: `
    $var: red;
  `,
}

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    ...sassOptions,
    implementation: 'sass-embedded',
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

const sassOptions = {
  additionalData: `
    $var: red;
  `,
}

const nextConfig = {
  sassOptions: {
    ...sassOptions,
    implementation: 'sass-embedded',
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> * `sassOptions` are not typed outside of `implementation` because Next.js does not maintain the other possible properties.
> * The `functions` property for defining custom Sass functions is only supported with webpack. When using Turbopack, custom Sass functions are not available because Turbopack's Rust-based architecture cannot directly execute JavaScript functions passed through this option.

# Script Component
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This API reference will help you understand how to use [props](#props) available for the Script Component. For features and usage, please see the [Optimizing Scripts](/docs/app/guides/scripts.md) page.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </>
  )
}
```

## Props

Here's a summary of the props available for the Script Component:

| Prop                    | Example                           | Type     | Required                              |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------- |
| [`src`](#src)           | `src="http://example.com/script"` | String   | Required unless inline script is used |
| [`strategy`](#strategy) | `strategy="lazyOnload"`           | String   | -                                     |
| [`onLoad`](#onload)     | `onLoad={onLoadFunc}`             | Function | -                                     |
| [`onReady`](#onready)   | `onReady={onReadyFunc}`           | Function | -                                     |
| [`onError`](#onerror)   | `onError={onErrorFunc}`           | Function | -                                     |

## Required Props

The `<Script />` component requires the following properties.

### `src`

A path string specifying the URL of an external script. This can be either an absolute external URL or an internal path. The `src` property is required unless an inline script is used.

## Optional Props

The `<Script />` component accepts a number of additional properties beyond those which are required.

### `strategy`

The loading strategy of the script. There are four different strategies that can be used:

* `beforeInteractive`: Load before any Next.js code and before any page hydration occurs.
* `afterInteractive`: (**default**) Load early but after some hydration on the page occurs.
* `lazyOnload`: Load during browser idle time.
* `worker`: (experimental) Load in a web worker.

### `beforeInteractive`

Scripts that load with the `beforeInteractive` strategy are injected into the initial HTML from the server, downloaded before any Next.js module, and executed in the order they are placed.

Scripts denoted with this strategy are preloaded and fetched before any first-party code, but their execution **does not block page hydration from occurring**.

`beforeInteractive` scripts must be placed inside the root layout (`app/layout.tsx`) and are designed to load scripts that are needed by the entire site (i.e. the script will load when any page in the application has been loaded server-side).

**This strategy should only be used for critical scripts that need to be fetched as soon as possible.**

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        <Script
          src="https://example.com/script.js"
          strategy="beforeInteractive"
        />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        <Script
          src="https://example.com/script.js"
          strategy="beforeInteractive"
        />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: Scripts with `beforeInteractive` will always be injected inside the `head` of the HTML document regardless of where it's placed in the component.

Some examples of scripts that should be fetched as soon as possible with `beforeInteractive` include:

* Bot detectors
* Cookie consent managers

### `afterInteractive`

Scripts that use the `afterInteractive` strategy are injected into the HTML client-side and will load after some (or all) hydration occurs on the page. **This is the default strategy** of the Script component and should be used for any script that needs to load as soon as possible but not before any first-party Next.js code.

`afterInteractive` scripts can be placed inside of any page or layout and will only load and execute when that page (or group of pages) is opened in the browser.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="afterInteractive" />
    </>
  )
}
```

Some examples of scripts that are good candidates for `afterInteractive` include:

* Tag managers
* Analytics

### `lazyOnload`

Scripts that use the `lazyOnload` strategy are injected into the HTML client-side during browser idle time and will load after all resources on the page have been fetched. This strategy should be used for any background or low priority scripts that do not need to load early.

`lazyOnload` scripts can be placed inside of any page or layout and will only load and execute when that page (or group of pages) is opened in the browser.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="lazyOnload" />
    </>
  )
}
```

Examples of scripts that do not need to load immediately and can be fetched with `lazyOnload` include:

* Chat support plugins
* Social media widgets

### `worker`

> **Warning:** The `worker` strategy is not yet stable and does not yet work with the App Router. Use with caution.

Scripts that use the `worker` strategy are off-loaded to a web worker in order to free up the main thread and ensure that only critical, first-party resources are processed on it. While this strategy can be used for any script, it is an advanced use case that is not guaranteed to support all third-party scripts.

To use `worker` as a strategy, the `nextScriptWorkers` flag must be enabled in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    nextScriptWorkers: true,
  },
}
```

`worker` scripts can **only currently be used in the `pages/` directory**:

```tsx filename="pages/home.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="worker" />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/home.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="worker" />
    </>
  )
}
```

### `onLoad`

> **Warning:** `onLoad` does not yet work with Server Components and can only be used in Client Components. Further, `onLoad` can't be used with `beforeInteractive` – consider using `onReady` instead.

Some third-party scripts require users to run JavaScript code once after the script has finished loading in order to instantiate content or call a function. If you are loading a script with either `afterInteractive` or `lazyOnload` as a loading strategy, you can execute code after it has loaded using the `onLoad` property.

Here's an example of executing a lodash method only after the library has been loaded.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.20/lodash.min.js"
        onLoad={() => {
          console.log(_.sample([1, 2, 3, 4]))
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.20/lodash.min.js"
        onLoad={() => {
          console.log(_.sample([1, 2, 3, 4]))
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

### `onReady`

> **Warning:** `onReady` does not yet work with Server Components and can only be used in Client Components.

Some third-party scripts require users to run JavaScript code after the script has finished loading and every time the component is mounted (after a route navigation for example). You can execute code after the script's load event when it first loads and then after every subsequent component re-mount using the `onReady` property.

Here's an example of how to re-instantiate a Google Maps JS embed every time the component is mounted:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRef } from 'react'
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  const mapRef = useRef()

  return (
    <>
      <div ref={mapRef}></div>
      <Script
        id="google-maps"
        src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"
        onReady={() => {
          new google.maps.Map(mapRef.current, {
            center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 },
            zoom: 8,
          })
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useRef } from 'react'
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  const mapRef = useRef()

  return (
    <>
      <div ref={mapRef}></div>
      <Script
        id="google-maps"
        src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"
        onReady={() => {
          new google.maps.Map(mapRef.current, {
            center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644 },
            zoom: 8,
          })
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

### `onError`

> **Warning:** `onError` does not yet work with Server Components and can only be used in Client Components. `onError` cannot be used with the `beforeInteractive` loading strategy.

Sometimes it is helpful to catch when a script fails to load. These errors can be handled with the `onError` property:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        onError={(e: Error) => {
          console.error('Script failed to load', e)
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        onError={(e) => {
          console.error('Script failed to load', e)
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

# How to load and optimize scripts
@doc-version: 16.0.4

### Layout Scripts

To load a third-party script for multiple routes, import `next/script` and include the script directly in your layout component:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function DashboardLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <>
      <section>{children}</section>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/layout.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function DashboardLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <section>{children}</section>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </>
  )
}
```

The third-party script is fetched when the folder route (e.g. `dashboard/page.js`) or any nested route (e.g. `dashboard/settings/page.js`) is accessed by the user. Next.js will ensure the script will **only load once**, even if a user navigates between multiple routes in the same layout.

### Application Scripts

To load a third-party script for all routes, import `next/script` and include the script directly in your root layout:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" />
    </html>
  )
}
```

This script will load and execute when *any* route in your application is accessed. Next.js will ensure the script will **only load once**, even if a user navigates between multiple pages.

> **Recommendation**: We recommend only including third-party scripts in specific pages or layouts in order to minimize any unnecessary impact to performance.

### Strategy

Although the default behavior of `next/script` allows you to load third-party scripts in any page or layout, you can fine-tune its loading behavior by using the `strategy` property:

* `beforeInteractive`: Load the script before any Next.js code and before any page hydration occurs.
* `afterInteractive`: (**default**) Load the script early but after some hydration on the page occurs.
* `lazyOnload`: Load the script later during browser idle time.
* `worker`: (experimental) Load the script in a web worker.

Refer to the [`next/script`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/script.md#strategy) API reference documentation to learn more about each strategy and their use cases.

### Offloading Scripts To A Web Worker (experimental)

> **Warning:** The `worker` strategy is not yet stable and does not yet work with the App Router. Use with caution.

Scripts that use the `worker` strategy are offloaded and executed in a web worker with [Partytown](https://partytown.builder.io/). This can improve the performance of your site by dedicating the main thread to the rest of your application code.

This strategy is still experimental and can only be used if the `nextScriptWorkers` flag is enabled in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    nextScriptWorkers: true,
  },
}
```

Then, run `next` (normally `npm run dev` or `yarn dev`) and Next.js will guide you through the installation of the required packages to finish the setup:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm run dev
```

You'll see instructions like these: Please install Partytown by running `npm install @builder.io/partytown`

Once setup is complete, defining `strategy="worker"` will automatically instantiate Partytown in your application and offload the script to a web worker.

```tsx filename="pages/home.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="worker" />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/home.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script src="https://example.com/script.js" strategy="worker" />
    </>
  )
}
```

There are a number of trade-offs that need to be considered when loading a third-party script in a web worker. Please see Partytown's [tradeoffs](https://partytown.builder.io/trade-offs) documentation for more information.

### Inline Scripts

Inline scripts, or scripts not loaded from an external file, are also supported by the Script component. They can be written by placing the JavaScript within curly braces:

```jsx
<Script id="show-banner">
  {`document.getElementById('banner').classList.remove('hidden')`}
</Script>
```

Or by using the `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` property:

```jsx
<Script
  id="show-banner"
  dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
    __html: `document.getElementById('banner').classList.remove('hidden')`,
  }}
/>
```

> **Warning**: An `id` property must be assigned for inline scripts in order for Next.js to track and optimize the script.

### Executing Additional Code

Event handlers can be used with the Script component to execute additional code after a certain event occurs:

* `onLoad`: Execute code after the script has finished loading.
* `onReady`: Execute code after the script has finished loading and every time the component is mounted.
* `onError`: Execute code if the script fails to load.

These handlers will only work when `next/script` is imported and used inside of a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) where `"use client"` is defined as the first line of code:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        onLoad={() => {
          console.log('Script has loaded')
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        onLoad={() => {
          console.log('Script has loaded')
        }}
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

Refer to the [`next/script`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/script.md#onload) API reference to learn more about each event handler and view examples.

### Additional Attributes

There are many DOM attributes that can be assigned to a `<script>` element that are not used by the Script component, like [`nonce`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/nonce) or [custom data attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/data-*). Including any additional attributes will automatically forward it to the final, optimized `<script>` element that is included in the HTML.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        id="example-script"
        nonce="XUENAJFW"
        data-test="script"
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Script from 'next/script'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Script
        src="https://example.com/script.js"
        id="example-script"
        nonce="XUENAJFW"
        data-test="script"
      />
    </>
  )
}
```

# How to self-host your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


When [deploying](/docs/app/getting-started/deploying.md) your Next.js app, you may want to configure how different features are handled based on your infrastructure.

> **🎥 Watch:** Learn more about self-hosting Next.js → [YouTube (45 minutes)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIVL4JMqRfc).

## Reverse Proxy

When self-hosting, it's recommended to use a reverse proxy (like nginx) in front of your Next.js server rather than exposing it directly to the internet. A reverse proxy can handle malformed requests, slow connection attacks, payload size limits, rate limiting, and other security concerns, offloading these tasks from the Next.js server. This allows the server to dedicate its resources to rendering rather than request validation.

## Image Optimization

[Image Optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) through `next/image` works self-hosted with zero configuration when deploying using `next start`. If you would prefer to have a separate service to optimize images, you can [configure an image loader](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#loader).

Image Optimization can be used with a [static export](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md#image-optimization) by defining a custom image loader in `next.config.js`. Note that images are optimized at runtime, not during the build.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * On glibc-based Linux systems, Image Optimization may require [additional configuration](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#linux-memory-allocator) to prevent excessive memory usage.
> * Learn more about the [caching behavior of optimized images](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#minimumcachettl) and how to configure the TTL.
> * You can also [disable Image Optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#unoptimized) and still retain other benefits of using `next/image` if you prefer. For example, if you are optimizing images yourself separately.

## Proxy

[Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) works self-hosted with zero configuration when deploying using `next start`. Since it requires access to the incoming request, it is not supported when using a [static export](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md).

Proxy uses the [Edge runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md), a subset of all available Node.js APIs to help ensure low latency, since it may run in front of every route or asset in your application. If you do not want this, you can use the [full Node.js runtime](/blog/next-15-2#nodejs-middleware-experimental) to run Proxy.

If you are looking to add logic (or use an external package) that requires all Node.js APIs, you might be able to move this logic to a [layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) as a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md). For example, checking [headers](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) and [redirecting](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md). You can also use headers, cookies, or query parameters to [redirect](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md#header-cookie-and-query-matching) or [rewrite](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md#header-cookie-and-query-matching) through `next.config.js`. If that does not work, you can also use a [custom server](/docs/pages/guides/custom-server.md).

## Environment Variables

Next.js can support both build time and runtime environment variables.

**By default, environment variables are only available on the server**. To expose an environment variable to the browser, it must be prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`. However, these public environment variables will be inlined into the JavaScript bundle during `next build`.

You safely read environment variables on the server during dynamic rendering.

```tsx filename="app/page.ts" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Component() {
  await connection()
  // cookies, headers, and other Dynamic APIs
  // will also opt into dynamic rendering, meaning
  // this env variable is evaluated at runtime
  const value = process.env.MY_VALUE
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Component() {
  await connection()
  // cookies, headers, and other Dynamic APIs
  // will also opt into dynamic rendering, meaning
  // this env variable is evaluated at runtime
  const value = process.env.MY_VALUE
  // ...
}
```

This allows you to use a singular Docker image that can be promoted through multiple environments with different values.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * You can run code on server startup using the [`register` function](/docs/app/guides/instrumentation.md).

## Caching and ISR

Next.js can cache responses, generated static pages, build outputs, and other static assets like images, fonts, and scripts.

Caching and revalidating pages (with [Incremental Static Regeneration](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md)) use the **same shared cache**. By default, this cache is stored to the filesystem (on disk) on your Next.js server. **This works automatically when self-hosting** using both the Pages and App Router.

You can configure the Next.js cache location if you want to persist cached pages and data to durable storage, or share the cache across multiple containers or instances of your Next.js application.

### Automatic Caching

* Next.js sets the `Cache-Control` header of `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` to truly immutable assets. It cannot be overridden. These immutable files contain a SHA-hash in the file name, so they can be safely cached indefinitely. For example, [Static Image Imports](/docs/app/getting-started/images.md#local-images). You can [configure the TTL](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md#minimumcachettl) for images.
* Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) sets the `Cache-Control` header of `s-maxage: <revalidate in getStaticProps>, stale-while-revalidate`. This revalidation time is defined in your [`getStaticProps` function](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md) in seconds. If you set `revalidate: false`, it will default to a one-year cache duration.
* Dynamically rendered pages set a `Cache-Control` header of `private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate` to prevent user-specific data from being cached. This applies to both the App Router and Pages Router. This also includes [Draft Mode](/docs/app/guides/draft-mode.md).

### Static Assets

If you want to host static assets on a different domain or CDN, you can use the `assetPrefix` [configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/assetPrefix.md) in `next.config.js`. Next.js will use this asset prefix when retrieving JavaScript or CSS files. Separating your assets to a different domain does come with the downside of extra time spent on DNS and TLS resolution.

[Learn more about `assetPrefix`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/assetPrefix.md).

### Configuring Caching

By default, generated cache assets will be stored in memory (defaults to 50mb) and on disk. If you are hosting Next.js using a container orchestration platform like Kubernetes, each pod will have a copy of the cache. To prevent stale data from being shown since the cache is not shared between pods by default, you can configure the Next.js cache to provide a cache handler and disable in-memory caching.

To configure the ISR/Data Cache location when self-hosting, you can configure a custom handler in your `next.config.js` file:

```jsx filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  cacheHandler: require.resolve('./cache-handler.js'),
  cacheMaxMemorySize: 0, // disable default in-memory caching
}
```

Then, create `cache-handler.js` in the root of your project, for example:

```jsx filename="cache-handler.js"
const cache = new Map()

module.exports = class CacheHandler {
  constructor(options) {
    this.options = options
  }

  async get(key) {
    // This could be stored anywhere, like durable storage
    return cache.get(key)
  }

  async set(key, data, ctx) {
    // This could be stored anywhere, like durable storage
    cache.set(key, {
      value: data,
      lastModified: Date.now(),
      tags: ctx.tags,
    })
  }

  async revalidateTag(tags) {
    // tags is either a string or an array of strings
    tags = [tags].flat()
    // Iterate over all entries in the cache
    for (let [key, value] of cache) {
      // If the value's tags include the specified tag, delete this entry
      if (value.tags.some((tag) => tags.includes(tag))) {
        cache.delete(key)
      }
    }
  }

  // If you want to have temporary in memory cache for a single request that is reset
  // before the next request you can leverage this method
  resetRequestCache() {}
}
```

Using a custom cache handler will allow you to ensure consistency across all pods hosting your Next.js application. For instance, you can save the cached values anywhere, like [Redis](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/cache-handler-redis) or AWS S3.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * `revalidatePath` is a convenience layer on top of cache tags. Calling `revalidatePath` will call the `revalidateTag` function with a special default tag for the provided page.

## Build Cache

Next.js generates an ID during `next build` to identify which version of your application is being served. The same build should be used and boot up multiple containers.

If you are rebuilding for each stage of your environment, you will need to generate a consistent build ID to use between containers. Use the `generateBuildId` command in `next.config.js`:

```jsx filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  generateBuildId: async () => {
    // This could be anything, using the latest git hash
    return process.env.GIT_HASH
  },
}
```

## Version Skew

Next.js will automatically mitigate most instances of [version skew](https://www.industrialempathy.com/posts/version-skew/) and automatically reload the application to retrieve new assets when detected. For example, if there is a mismatch in the `deploymentId`, transitions between pages will perform a hard navigation versus using a prefetched value.

When the application is reloaded, there may be a loss of application state if it's not designed to persist between page navigations. For example, using URL state or local storage would persist state after a page refresh. However, component state like `useState` would be lost in such navigations.

## Streaming and Suspense

The Next.js App Router supports [streaming responses](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) when self-hosting. If you are using nginx or a similar proxy, you will need to configure it to disable buffering to enable streaming.

For example, you can disable buffering in nginx by setting `X-Accel-Buffering` to `no`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/:path*{/}?',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'X-Accel-Buffering',
            value: 'no',
          },
        ],
      },
    ]
  },
}
```

## Cache Components

[Cache Components](/docs/app/getting-started/cache-components.md) works by default with Next.js and is not a CDN-only feature. This includes deployment as a Node.js server (through `next start`) and when used with a Docker container.

## Usage with CDNs

When using a CDN in front on your Next.js application, the page will include `Cache-Control: private` response header when dynamic APIs are accessed. This ensures that the resulting HTML page is marked as non-cacheable. If the page is fully prerendered to static, it will include `Cache-Control: public` to allow the page to be cached on the CDN.

If you don't need a mix of both static and dynamic components, you can make your entire route static and cache the output HTML on a CDN. This Automatic Static Optimization is the default behavior when running `next build` if dynamic APIs are not used.

As Partial Prerendering moves to stable, we will provide support through the Deployment Adapters API.

## `after`

[`after`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/after.md) is fully supported when self-hosting with `next start`.

When stopping the server, ensure a graceful shutdown by sending `SIGINT` or `SIGTERM` signals and waiting. This allows the Next.js server to wait until after pending callback functions or promises used inside `after` have finished.

# Server and Client Components
@doc-version: 16.0.4


By default, layouts and pages are [Server Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components), which lets you fetch data and render parts of your UI on the server, optionally cache the result, and stream it to the client. When you need interactivity or browser APIs, you can use [Client Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client) to layer in functionality.

This page explains how Server and Client Components work in Next.js and when to use them, with examples of how to compose them together in your application.

## When to use Server and Client Components?

The client and server environments have different capabilities. Server and Client components allow you to run logic in each environment depending on your use case.

Use **Client Components** when you need:

* [State](https://react.dev/learn/managing-state) and [event handlers](https://react.dev/learn/responding-to-events). E.g. `onClick`, `onChange`.
* [Lifecycle logic](https://react.dev/learn/lifecycle-of-reactive-effects). E.g. `useEffect`.
* Browser-only APIs. E.g. `localStorage`, `window`, `Navigator.geolocation`, etc.
* [Custom hooks](https://react.dev/learn/reusing-logic-with-custom-hooks).

Use **Server Components** when you need:

* Fetch data from databases or APIs close to the source.
* Use API keys, tokens, and other secrets without exposing them to the client.
* Reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser.
* Improve the [First Contentful Paint (FCP)](https://web.dev/fcp/), and stream content progressively to the client.

For example, the `<Page>` component is a Server Component that fetches data about a post, and passes it as props to the `<LikeButton>` which handles client-side interactivity.

```tsx filename="app/[id]/page.tsx" highlight={1,12} switcher
import LikeButton from '@/app/ui/like-button'
import { getPost } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const post = await getPost(id)

  return (
    <div>
      <main>
        <h1>{post.title}</h1>
        {/* ... */}
        <LikeButton likes={post.likes} />
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[id]/page.js" highlight={1,12} switcher
import LikeButton from '@/app/ui/like-button'
import { getPost } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.id)

  return (
    <div>
      <main>
        <h1>{post.title}</h1>
        {/* ... */}
        <LikeButton likes={post.likes} />
      </main>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/like-button.tsx" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function LikeButton({ likes }: { likes: number }) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/like-button.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function LikeButton({ likes }) {
  // ...
}
```

## How do Server and Client Components work in Next.js?

### On the server

On the server, Next.js uses React's APIs to orchestrate rendering. The rendering work is split into chunks, by individual route segments ([layouts and pages](/docs/app/getting-started/layouts-and-pages.md)):

* **Server Components** are rendered into a special data format called the React Server Component Payload (RSC Payload).
* **Client Components** and the RSC Payload are used to [pre-render](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#rendering-strategies) HTML.

> **What is the React Server Component Payload (RSC)?**
>
> The RSC Payload is a compact binary representation of the rendered React Server Components tree. It's used by React on the client to update the browser's DOM. The RSC Payload contains:
>
> * The rendered result of Server Components
> * Placeholders for where Client Components should be rendered and references to their JavaScript files
> * Any props passed from a Server Component to a Client Component

### On the client (first load)

Then, on the client:

1. **HTML** is used to immediately show a fast non-interactive preview of the route to the user.
2. **RSC Payload** is used to reconcile the Client and Server Component trees.
3. **JavaScript** is used to hydrate Client Components and make the application interactive.

> **What is hydration?**
>
> Hydration is React's process for attaching [event handlers](https://react.dev/learn/responding-to-events) to the DOM, to make the static HTML interactive.

### Subsequent Navigations

On subsequent navigations:

* The **RSC Payload** is prefetched and cached for instant navigation.
* **Client Components** are rendered entirely on the client, without the server-rendered HTML.

## Examples

### Using Client Components

You can create a Client Component by adding the [`"use client"`](https://react.dev/reference/react/use-client) directive at the top of the file, above your imports.

```tsx filename="app/ui/counter.tsx" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{count} likes</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/counter.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{count} likes</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

`"use client"` is used to declare a **boundary** between the Server and Client module graphs (trees).

Once a file is marked with `"use client"`, **all its imports and child components are considered part of the client bundle**. This means you don't need to add the directive to every component that is intended for the client.

### Reducing JS bundle size

To reduce the size of your client JavaScript bundles, add `'use client'` to specific interactive components instead of marking large parts of your UI as Client Components.

For example, the `<Layout>` component contains mostly static elements like a logo and navigation links, but includes an interactive search bar. `<Search />` is interactive and needs to be a Client Component, however, the rest of the layout can remain a Server Component.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" highlight={12} switcher
// Client Component
import Search from './search'
// Server Component
import Logo from './logo'

// Layout is a Server Component by default
export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Logo />
        <Search />
      </nav>
      <main>{children}</main>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" highlight={12} switcher
// Client Component
import Search from './search'
// Server Component
import Logo from './logo'

// Layout is a Server Component by default
export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Logo />
        <Search />
      </nav>
      <main>{children}</main>
    </>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/search.tsx" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

export default function Search() {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/search.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

export default function Search() {
  // ...
}
```

### Passing data from Server to Client Components

You can pass data from Server Components to Client Components using props.

```tsx filename="app/[id]/page.tsx" highlight={1,7} switcher
import LikeButton from '@/app/ui/like-button'
import { getPost } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const post = await getPost(id)

  return <LikeButton likes={post.likes} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/[id]/page.js" highlight={1,7} switcher
import LikeButton from '@/app/ui/like-button'
import { getPost } from '@/lib/data'

export default async function Page({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.id)

  return <LikeButton likes={post.likes} />
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/like-button.tsx" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

export default function LikeButton({ likes }: { likes: number }) {
  // ...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/like-button.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

export default function LikeButton({ likes }) {
  // ...
}
```

Alternatively, you can stream data from a Server Component to a Client Component with the [`use` Hook](https://react.dev/reference/react/use). See an [example](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md#streaming-data-with-the-use-hook).

> **Good to know**: Props passed to Client Components need to be [serializable](https://react.dev/reference/react/use-server#serializable-parameters-and-return-values) by React.

### Interleaving Server and Client Components

You can pass Server Components as a prop to a Client Component. This allows you to visually nest server-rendered UI within Client components.

A common pattern is to use `children` to create a *slot* in a `<ClientComponent>`. For example, a `<Cart>` component that fetches data on the server, inside a `<Modal>` component that uses client state to toggle visibility.

```tsx filename="app/ui/modal.tsx" switcher
'use client'

export default function Modal({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/modal.js" switcher
'use client'

export default function Modal({ children }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

Then, in a parent Server Component (e.g.`<Page>`), you can pass a `<Cart>` as the child of the `<Modal>`:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"  highlight={7} switcher
import Modal from './ui/modal'
import Cart from './ui/cart'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Modal>
      <Cart />
    </Modal>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" highlight={7} switcher
import Modal from './ui/modal'
import Cart from './ui/cart'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Modal>
      <Cart />
    </Modal>
  )
}
```

In this pattern, all Server Components will be rendered on the server ahead of time, including those as props. The resulting RSC payload will contain references of where Client Components should be rendered within the component tree.

### Context providers

[React context](https://react.dev/learn/passing-data-deeply-with-context) is commonly used to share global state like the current theme. However, React context is not supported in Server Components.

To use context, create a Client Component that accepts `children`:

```tsx filename="app/theme-provider.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { createContext } from 'react'

export const ThemeContext = createContext({})

export default function ThemeProvider({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return <ThemeContext.Provider value="dark">{children}</ThemeContext.Provider>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/theme-provider.js" switcher
'use client'

import { createContext } from 'react'

export const ThemeContext = createContext({})

export default function ThemeProvider({ children }) {
  return <ThemeContext.Provider value="dark">{children}</ThemeContext.Provider>
}
```

Then, import it into a Server Component (e.g. `layout`):

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import ThemeProvider from './theme-provider'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <ThemeProvider>{children}</ThemeProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import ThemeProvider from './theme-provider'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <ThemeProvider>{children}</ThemeProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

Your Server Component will now be able to directly render your provider, and all other Client Components throughout your app will be able to consume this context.

> **Good to know**: You should render providers as deep as possible in the tree – notice how `ThemeProvider` only wraps `{children}` instead of the entire `<html>` document. This makes it easier for Next.js to optimize the static parts of your Server Components.

### Third-party components

When using a third-party component that relies on client-only features, you can wrap it in a Client Component to ensure it works as expected.

For example, the `<Carousel />` can be imported from the `acme-carousel` package. This component uses `useState`, but it doesn't yet have the `"use client"` directive.

If you use `<Carousel />` within a Client Component, it will work as expected:

```tsx filename="app/gallery.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'
import { Carousel } from 'acme-carousel'

export default function Gallery() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>View pictures</button>
      {/* Works, since Carousel is used within a Client Component */}
      {isOpen && <Carousel />}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/gallery.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'
import { Carousel } from 'acme-carousel'

export default function Gallery() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>View pictures</button>
      {/*  Works, since Carousel is used within a Client Component */}
      {isOpen && <Carousel />}
    </div>
  )
}
```

However, if you try to use it directly within a Server Component, you'll see an error. This is because Next.js doesn't know `<Carousel />` is using client-only features.

To fix this, you can wrap third-party components that rely on client-only features in your own Client Components:

```tsx filename="app/carousel.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { Carousel } from 'acme-carousel'

export default Carousel
```

```jsx filename="app/carousel.js" switcher
'use client'

import { Carousel } from 'acme-carousel'

export default Carousel
```

Now, you can use `<Carousel />` directly within a Server Component:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Carousel from './carousel'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>View pictures</p>
      {/*  Works, since Carousel is a Client Component */}
      <Carousel />
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Carousel from './carousel'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>View pictures</p>
      {/*  Works, since Carousel is a Client Component */}
      <Carousel />
    </div>
  )
}
```

> **Advice for Library Authors**
>
> If you’re building a component library, add the `"use client"` directive to entry points that rely on client-only features. This lets your users import components into Server Components without needing to create wrappers.
>
> It's worth noting some bundlers might strip out `"use client"` directives. You can find an example of how to configure esbuild to include the `"use client"` directive in the [React Wrap Balancer](https://github.com/shuding/react-wrap-balancer/blob/main/tsup.config.ts#L10-L13) and [Vercel Analytics](https://github.com/vercel/analytics/blob/main/packages/web/tsup.config.js#L26-L30) repositories.

### Preventing environment poisoning

JavaScript modules can be shared between both Server and Client Components modules. This means it's possible to accidentally import server-only code into the client. For example, consider the following function:

```ts filename="lib/data.ts" switcher
export async function getData() {
  const res = await fetch('https://external-service.com/data', {
    headers: {
      authorization: process.env.API_KEY,
    },
  })

  return res.json()
}
```

```js filename="lib/data.js" switcher
export async function getData() {
  const res = await fetch('https://external-service.com/data', {
    headers: {
      authorization: process.env.API_KEY,
    },
  })

  return res.json()
}
```

This function contains an `API_KEY` that should never be exposed to the client.

In Next.js, only environment variables prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_` are included in the client bundle. If variables are not prefixed, Next.js replaces them with an empty string.

As a result, even though `getData()` can be imported and executed on the client, it won't work as expected.

To prevent accidental usage in Client Components, you can use the [`server-only` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/server-only).

Then, import the package into a file that contains server-only code:

```js filename="lib/data.js"
import 'server-only'

export async function getData() {
  const res = await fetch('https://external-service.com/data', {
    headers: {
      authorization: process.env.API_KEY,
    },
  })

  return res.json()
}
```

Now, if you try to import the module into a Client Component, there will be a build-time error.

The corresponding [`client-only` package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/client-only) can be used to mark modules that contain client-only logic like code that accesses the `window` object.

In Next.js, installing `server-only` or `client-only` is **optional**. However, if your linting rules flag extraneous dependencies, you may install them to avoid issues.

```bash package="npm"
npm install server-only
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add server-only
```

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm add server-only
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add server-only
```

Next.js handles `server-only` and `client-only` imports internally to provide clearer error messages when a module is used in the wrong environment. The contents of these packages from NPM are not used by Next.js.

Next.js also provides its own type declarations for `server-only` and `client-only`, for TypeScript configurations where [`noUncheckedSideEffectImports`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#noUncheckedSideEffectImports) is active.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/server-side-rendering.md

# Server-side Rendering (SSR)


> Also referred to as "SSR" or "Dynamic Rendering".

If a page uses **Server-side Rendering**, the page HTML is generated on **each request**.

To use Server-side Rendering for a page, you need to `export` an `async` function called `getServerSideProps`. This function will be called by the server on every request.

For example, suppose that your page needs to pre-render frequently updated data (fetched from an external API). You can write `getServerSideProps` which fetches this data and passes it to `Page` like below:

```jsx
export default function Page({ data }) {
  // Render data...
}

// This gets called on every request
export async function getServerSideProps() {
  // Fetch data from external API
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../data`)
  const data = await res.json()

  // Pass data to the page via props
  return { props: { data } }
}
```

As you can see, `getServerSideProps` is similar to `getStaticProps`, but the difference is that `getServerSideProps` is run on every request instead of on build time.

To learn more about how `getServerSideProps` works, check out our [Data Fetching documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-server-side-props.md).

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverActions.md

# serverActions
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Options for configuring Server Actions behavior in your Next.js application.

## `allowedOrigins`

A list of extra safe origin domains from which Server Actions can be invoked. Next.js compares the origin of a Server Action request with the host domain, ensuring they match to prevent CSRF attacks. If not provided, only the same origin is allowed.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: {
      allowedOrigins: ['my-proxy.com', '*.my-proxy.com'],
    },
  },
}
```

## `bodySizeLimit`

By default, the maximum size of the request body sent to a Server Action is 1MB, to prevent the consumption of excessive server resources in parsing large amounts of data, as well as potential DDoS attacks.

However, you can configure this limit using the `serverActions.bodySizeLimit` option. It can take the number of bytes or any string format supported by bytes, for example `1000`, `'500kb'` or `'3mb'`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: {
      bodySizeLimit: '2mb',
    },
  },
}
```

## Enabling Server Actions (v13)

Server Actions became a stable feature in Next.js 14, and are enabled by default. However, if you are using an earlier version of Next.js, you can enable them by setting `experimental.serverActions` to `true`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const config = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: true,
  },
}

module.exports = config
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/serverComponentsHmrCache.md

# serverComponentsHmrCache
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The experimental `serverComponentsHmrCache` option allows you to cache `fetch` responses in Server Components across Hot Module Replacement (HMR) refreshes in local development. This results in faster responses and reduced costs for billed API calls.

By default, the HMR cache applies to all `fetch` requests, including those with the `cache: 'no-store'` option. This means uncached requests will not show fresh data between HMR refreshes. However, the cache will be cleared on navigation or full-page reloads.

You can disable the HMR cache by setting `serverComponentsHmrCache` to `false` in your `next.config.js` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsHmrCache: false, // defaults to true
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsHmrCache: false, // defaults to true
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> **Good to know:** For better observability, we recommend using the [`logging.fetches`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/logging.md) option which logs fetch cache hits and misses in the console during development.

Dependencies used inside [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) and [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) will automatically be bundled by Next.js.

If a dependency is using Node.js specific features, you can choose to opt-out specific dependencies from the Server Components bundling and use native Node.js `require`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  serverExternalPackages: ['@acme/ui'],
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

# How to build single-page applications with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js fully supports building Single-Page Applications (SPAs).

This includes fast route transitions with prefetching, client-side data fetching, using browser APIs, integrating with third-party client libraries, creating static routes, and more.

If you have an existing SPA, you can migrate to Next.js without large changes to your code. Next.js then allows you to progressively add server features as needed.

## What is a Single-Page Application?

The definition of a SPA varies. We’ll define a “strict SPA” as:

* **Client-side rendering (CSR)**: The app is served by one HTML file (e.g. `index.html`). Every route, page transition, and data fetch is handled by JavaScript in the browser.
* **No full-page reloads**: Rather than requesting a new document for each route, client-side JavaScript manipulates the current page’s DOM and fetches data as needed.

Strict SPAs often require large amounts of JavaScript to load before the page can be interactive. Further, client data waterfalls can be challenging to manage. Building SPAs with Next.js can address these issues.

## Why use Next.js for SPAs?

Next.js can automatically code split your JavaScript bundles, and generate multiple HTML entry points into different routes. This avoids loading unnecessary JavaScript code on the client-side, reducing the bundle size and enabling faster page loads.

The [`next/link`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) component automatically [prefetches](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md#prefetch) routes, giving you the fast page transitions of a strict SPA, but with the advantage of persisting application routing state to the URL for linking and sharing.

Next.js can start as a static site or even a strict SPA where everything is rendered client-side. If your project grows, Next.js allows you to progressively add more server features (e.g. [React Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md), [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md), and more) as needed.

## Examples

Let's explore common patterns used to build SPAs and how Next.js solves them.

### Using React’s `use` within a Context Provider

We recommend fetching data in a parent component (or layout), returning the Promise, and then unwrapping the value in a Client Component with React’s [`use` hook](https://react.dev/reference/react/use).

Next.js can start data fetching early on the server. In this example, that’s the root layout — the entry point to your application. The server can immediately begin streaming a response to the client.

By “hoisting” your data fetching to the root layout, Next.js starts the specified requests on the server early before any other components in your application. This eliminates client waterfalls and prevents having multiple roundtrips between client and server. It can also significantly improve performance, as your server is closer (and ideally colocated) to where your database is located.

For example, update your root layout to call the Promise, but do *not* await it.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { UserProvider } from './user-provider'
import { getUser } from './user' // some server-side function

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  let userPromise = getUser() // do NOT await

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <UserProvider userPromise={userPromise}>{children}</UserProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { UserProvider } from './user-provider'
import { getUser } from './user' // some server-side function

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  let userPromise = getUser() // do NOT await

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <UserProvider userPromise={userPromise}>{children}</UserProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

While you can [defer and pass a single Promise](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md#streaming-data-with-the-use-hook) as a prop to a Client Component, we generally see this pattern paired with a React context provider. This enables easier access from Client Components with a custom React Hook.

You can forward a Promise to the React context provider:

```ts filename="app/user-provider.ts" switcher
'use client';

import { createContext, useContext, ReactNode } from 'react';

type User = any;
type UserContextType = {
  userPromise: Promise<User | null>;
};

const UserContext = createContext<UserContextType | null>(null);

export function useUser(): UserContextType {
  let context = useContext(UserContext);
  if (context === null) {
    throw new Error('useUser must be used within a UserProvider');
  }
  return context;
}

export function UserProvider({
  children,
  userPromise
}: {
  children: ReactNode;
  userPromise: Promise<User | null>;
}) {
  return (
    <UserContext.Provider value={{ userPromise }}>
      {children}
    </UserContext.Provider>
  );
}
```

```js filename="app/user-provider.js" switcher
'use client'

import { createContext, useContext, ReactNode } from 'react'

const UserContext = createContext(null)

export function useUser() {
  let context = useContext(UserContext)
  if (context === null) {
    throw new Error('useUser must be used within a UserProvider')
  }
  return context
}

export function UserProvider({ children, userPromise }) {
  return (
    <UserContext.Provider value={{ userPromise }}>
      {children}
    </UserContext.Provider>
  )
}
```

Finally, you can call the `useUser()` custom hook in any Client Component and unwrap the Promise:

```tsx filename="app/profile.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { use } from 'react'
import { useUser } from './user-provider'

export function Profile() {
  const { userPromise } = useUser()
  const user = use(userPromise)

  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/profile.js" switcher
'use client'

import { use } from 'react'
import { useUser } from './user-provider'

export function Profile() {
  const { userPromise } = useUser()
  const user = use(userPromise)

  return '...'
}
```

The component that consumes the Promise (e.g. `Profile` above) will be suspended. This enables partial hydration. You can see the streamed and prerendered HTML before JavaScript has finished loading.

### SPAs with SWR

[SWR](https://swr.vercel.app) is a popular React library for data fetching.

With SWR 2.3.0 (and React 19+), you can gradually adopt server features alongside your existing SWR-based client data fetching code. This is an abstraction of the above `use()` pattern. This means you can move data fetching between the client and server-side, or use both:

* **Client-only:** `useSWR(key, fetcher)`
* **Server-only:** `useSWR(key)` + RSC-provided data
* **Mixed:** `useSWR(key, fetcher)` + RSC-provided data

For example, wrap your application with `<SWRConfig>` and a `fallback`:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { SWRConfig } from 'swr'
import { getUser } from './user' // some server-side function

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <SWRConfig
      value={{
        fallback: {
          // We do NOT await getUser() here
          // Only components that read this data will suspend
          '/api/user': getUser(),
        },
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </SWRConfig>
  )
}
```

```js filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { SWRConfig } from 'swr'
import { getUser } from './user' // some server-side function

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <SWRConfig
      value={{
        fallback: {
          // We do NOT await getUser() here
          // Only components that read this data will suspend
          '/api/user': getUser(),
        },
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </SWRConfig>
  )
}
```

Because this is a Server Component, `getUser()` can securely read cookies, headers, or talk to your database. No separate API route is needed. Client components below the `<SWRConfig>` can call `useSWR()` with the same key to retrieve the user data. The component code with `useSWR` **does not require any changes** from your existing client-fetching solution.

```tsx filename="app/profile.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import useSWR from 'swr'

export function Profile() {
  const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((res) => res.json())
  // The same SWR pattern you already know
  const { data, error } = useSWR('/api/user', fetcher)

  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/profile.js" switcher
'use client'

import useSWR from 'swr'

export function Profile() {
  const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((res) => res.json())
  // The same SWR pattern you already know
  const { data, error } = useSWR('/api/user', fetcher)

  return '...'
}
```

The `fallback` data can be prerendered and included in the initial HTML response, then immediately read in the child components using `useSWR`. SWR’s polling, revalidation, and caching still run **client-side only**, so it preserves all the interactivity you rely on for an SPA.

Since the initial `fallback` data is automatically handled by Next.js, you can now delete any conditional logic previously needed to check if `data` was `undefined`. When the data is loading, the closest `<Suspense>` boundary will be suspended.

|                      | SWR                 | RSC                 | RSC + SWR           |
| -------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| SSR data             |  |  |  |
| Streaming while SSR  |  |  |  |
| Deduplicate requests |  |  |  |
| Client-side features |  |  |  |

### SPAs with React Query

You can use React Query with Next.js on both the client and server. This enables you to build both strict SPAs, as well as take advantage of server features in Next.js paired with React Query.

Learn more in the [React Query documentation](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/advanced-ssr).

### Rendering components only in the browser

Client components are [prerendered](https://github.com/reactwg/server-components/discussions/4) during `next build`. If you want to disable prerendering for a Client Component and only load it in the browser environment, you can use [`next/dynamic`](/docs/app/guides/lazy-loading.md#nextdynamic):

```jsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const ClientOnlyComponent = dynamic(() => import('./component'), {
  ssr: false,
})
```

This can be useful for third-party libraries that rely on browser APIs like `window` or `document`. You can also add a `useEffect` that checks for the existence of these APIs, and if they do not exist, return `null` or a loading state which would be prerendered.

### Shallow routing on the client

If you are migrating from a strict SPA like [Create React App](/docs/app/guides/migrating/from-create-react-app.md) or [Vite](/docs/app/guides/migrating/from-vite.md), you might have existing code which shallow routes to update the URL state. This can be useful for manual transitions between views in your application *without* using the default Next.js file-system routing.

Next.js allows you to use the native [`window.history.pushState`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/pushState) and [`window.history.replaceState`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/replaceState) methods to update the browser's history stack without reloading the page.

`pushState` and `replaceState` calls integrate into the Next.js Router, allowing you to sync with [`usePathname`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md) and [`useSearchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md).

```tsx fileName="app/ui/sort-products.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SortProducts() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  function updateSorting(sortOrder: string) {
    const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams(searchParams.toString())
    urlSearchParams.set('sort', sortOrder)
    window.history.pushState(null, '', `?${urlSearchParams.toString()}`)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('asc')}>Sort Ascending</button>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('desc')}>Sort Descending</button>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx fileName="app/ui/sort-products.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SortProducts() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  function updateSorting(sortOrder) {
    const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams(searchParams.toString())
    urlSearchParams.set('sort', sortOrder)
    window.history.pushState(null, '', `?${urlSearchParams.toString()}`)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('asc')}>Sort Ascending</button>
      <button onClick={() => updateSorting('desc')}>Sort Descending</button>
    </>
  )
}
```

Learn more about how [routing and navigation](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#how-navigation-works) work in Next.js.

### Using Server Actions in Client Components

You can progressively adopt Server Actions while still using Client Components. This allows you to remove boilerplate code to call an API route, and instead use React features like `useActionState` to handle loading and error states.

For example, create your first Server Action:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

export async function create() {}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

export async function create() {}
```

You can import and use a Server Action from the client, similar to calling a JavaScript function. You do not need to create an API endpoint manually:

```tsx filename="app/button.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { create } from './actions'

export function Button() {
  return <button onClick={() => create()}>Create</button>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/button.js" switcher
'use client'

import { create } from './actions'

export function Button() {
  return <button onClick={() => create()}>Create</button>
}
```

Learn more about [mutating data with Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

## Static export (optional)

Next.js also supports generating a fully [static site](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md). This has some advantages over strict SPAs:

* **Automatic code-splitting**: Instead of shipping a single `index.html`, Next.js will generate an HTML file per route, so your visitors get the content faster without waiting for the client JavaScript bundle.
* **Improved user experience:** Instead of a minimal skeleton for all routes, you get fully rendered pages for each route. When users navigate client side, transitions remain instant and SPA-like.

To enable a static export, update your configuration:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  output: 'export',
}

export default nextConfig
```

After running `next build`, Next.js will create an `out` folder with the HTML/CSS/JS assets for your application.

> **Note:** Next.js server features are not supported with static exports. [Learn more](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md#unsupported-features).

## Migrating existing projects to Next.js

You can incrementally migrate to Next.js by following our guides:

* [Migrating from Create React App](/docs/app/guides/migrating/from-create-react-app.md)
* [Migrating from Vite](/docs/app/guides/migrating/from-vite.md)

If you are already using a SPA with the Pages Router, you can learn how to [incrementally adopt the App Router](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md).

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap.md

# sitemap.xml
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`sitemap.(xml|js|ts)` is a special file that matches the [Sitemaps XML format](https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html) to help search engine crawlers index your site more efficiently.

### Sitemap files (.xml)

For smaller applications, you can create a `sitemap.xml` file and place it in the root of your `app` directory.

```xml filename="app/sitemap.xml"
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://acme.com</loc>
    <lastmod>2023-04-06T15:02:24.021Z</lastmod>
    <changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
    <priority>1</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>https://acme.com/about</loc>
    <lastmod>2023-04-06T15:02:24.021Z</lastmod>

    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>
```

### Generating a sitemap using code (.js, .ts)

You can use the `sitemap.(js|ts)` file convention to programmatically **generate** a sitemap by exporting a default function that returns an array of URLs. If using TypeScript, a [`Sitemap`](#returns) type is available.

> **Good to know**: `sitemap.js` is a special Route Handler that is cached by default unless it uses a [Dynamic API](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-apis) or [dynamic config](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#segment-config-options) option.

```ts filename="app/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'yearly',
      priority: 1,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/about',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'monthly',
      priority: 0.8,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/blog',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'weekly',
      priority: 0.5,
    },
  ]
}
```

```js filename="app/sitemap.js" switcher
export default function sitemap() {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'yearly',
      priority: 1,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/about',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'monthly',
      priority: 0.8,
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/blog',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      changeFrequency: 'weekly',
      priority: 0.5,
    },
  ]
}
```

Output:

```xml filename="acme.com/sitemap.xml"
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>https://acme.com</loc>
    <lastmod>2023-04-06T15:02:24.021Z</lastmod>

    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>
```

### Image Sitemaps

You can use `images` property to create image sitemaps. Learn more details in the [Google Developer Docs](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/image-sitemaps).

```ts filename="app/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://example.com',
      lastModified: '2021-01-01',
      changeFrequency: 'weekly',
      priority: 0.5,
      images: ['https://example.com/image.jpg'],
    },
  ]
}
```

Output:

```xml filename="acme.com/sitemap.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
  xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
  xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1"
>
  <url>
    <loc>https://example.com</loc>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://example.com/image.jpg</image:loc>
    </image:image>
    <lastmod>2021-01-01</lastmod>
    <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
  </url>
</urlset>
```

### Video Sitemaps

You can use `videos` property to create video sitemaps. Learn more details in the [Google Developer Docs](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/video-sitemaps).

```ts filename="app/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://example.com',
      lastModified: '2021-01-01',
      changeFrequency: 'weekly',
      priority: 0.5,
      videos: [
        {
          title: 'example',
          thumbnail_loc: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
          description: 'this is the description',
        },
      ],
    },
  ]
}
```

Output:

```xml filename="acme.com/sitemap.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
  xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
  xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1"

</urlset>
```

### Generate a localized Sitemap

```ts filename="app/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'

export default function sitemap(): MetadataRoute.Sitemap {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      alternates: {
        languages: {
          es: 'https://acme.com/es',
          de: 'https://acme.com/de',
        },
      },
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/about',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      alternates: {
        languages: {
          es: 'https://acme.com/es/about',
          de: 'https://acme.com/de/about',
        },
      },
    },
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com/blog',
      lastModified: new Date(),
      alternates: {
        languages: {
          es: 'https://acme.com/es/blog',
          de: 'https://acme.com/de/blog',
        },
      },
    },
  ]
}
```

```js filename="app/sitemap.js" switcher
export default function sitemap() {
  return [
    {
      url: 'https://acme.com',
      lastModified: new Date(),

### Generating multiple sitemaps

While a single sitemap will work for most applications. For large web applications, you may need to split a sitemap into multiple files.

There are two ways you can create multiple sitemaps:

* By nesting `sitemap.(xml|js|ts)` inside multiple route segments e.g. `app/sitemap.xml` and `app/products/sitemap.xml`.
* By using the [`generateSitemaps`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-sitemaps.md) function.

For example, to split a sitemap using `generateSitemaps`, return an array of objects with the sitemap `id`. Then, use the `id` to generate the unique sitemaps.

```ts filename="app/product/sitemap.ts" switcher
import type { MetadataRoute } from 'next'
import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
  // Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap(props: {
  id: Promise<number>
}): Promise<MetadataRoute.Sitemap> {
  const id = await props.id
  // Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
  const start = id * 50000
  const end = start + 50000
  const products = await getProducts(
    `SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
  )
  return products.map((product) => ({
    url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${product.id}`,
    lastModified: product.date,
  }))
}
```

```js filename="app/product/sitemap.js" switcher
import { BASE_URL } from '@/app/lib/constants'

export async function generateSitemaps() {
  // Fetch the total number of products and calculate the number of sitemaps needed
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

export default async function sitemap(props) {
  const id = await props.id
  // Google's limit is 50,000 URLs per sitemap
  const start = id * 50000
  const end = start + 50000
  const products = await getProducts(
    `SELECT id, date FROM products WHERE id BETWEEN ${start} AND ${end}`
  )
  return products.map((product) => ({
    url: `${BASE_URL}/product/${product.id}`,
    lastModified: product.date,
  }))
}
```

Your generated sitemaps will be available at `/.../sitemap/[id]`. For example, `/product/sitemap/1.xml`.

See the [`generateSitemaps` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-sitemaps.md) for more information.

## Returns

The default function exported from `sitemap.(xml|ts|js)` should return an array of objects with the following properties:

```tsx
type Sitemap = Array<{
  url: string
  lastModified?: string | Date
  changeFrequency?:
    | 'always'
    | 'hourly'
    | 'daily'
    | 'weekly'
    | 'monthly'
    | 'yearly'
    | 'never'
  priority?: number
  alternates?: {
    languages?: Languages<string>
  }
}>
```

# src Folder
@doc-version: 16.0.4


As an alternative to having the special Next.js `app` or `pages` directories in the root of your project, Next.js also supports the common pattern of placing application code under the `src` folder.

This separates application code from project configuration files which mostly live in the root of a project, which is preferred by some individuals and teams.

To use the `src` folder, move the `app` Router folder or `pages` Router folder to `src/app` or `src/pages` respectively.

![An example folder structure with the src folder](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/project-organization-src-directory.png)

> **Good to know**:
>
> * The `/public` directory should remain in the root of your project.
> * Config files like `package.json`, `next.config.js` and `tsconfig.json` should remain in the root of your project.
> * `.env.*` files should remain in the root of your project.
> * `src/app` or `src/pages` will be ignored if `app` or `pages` are present in the root directory.
> * If you're using `src`, you'll probably also move other application folders such as `/components` or `/lib`.
> * If you're using Proxy, ensure it is placed inside the `src` folder.
> * If you're using Tailwind CSS, you'll need to add the `/src` prefix to the `tailwind.config.js` file in the [content section](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/content-configuration).
> * If you are using TypeScript paths for imports such as `@/*`, you should update the `paths` object in `tsconfig.json` to include `src/`.

# staleTimes
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

`staleTimes` is an experimental feature that enables caching of page segments in the [client-side router cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#client-side-router-cache).

You can enable this experimental feature and provide custom revalidation times by setting the experimental `staleTimes` flag:

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    staleTimes: {
      dynamic: 30,
      static: 180,
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

The `static` and `dynamic` properties correspond with the time period (in seconds) based on different types of [link prefetching](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md#prefetch).

* The `dynamic` property is used when the page is neither statically generated nor fully prefetched (e.g. with `prefetch={true}`).
  * Default: 0 seconds (not cached)
* The `static` property is used for statically generated pages, or when the `prefetch` prop on `Link` is set to `true`, or when calling [`router.prefetch`](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#routerprefetch).
  * Default: 5 minutes

> **Good to know:**
>
> * [Loading boundaries](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) are considered reusable for the `static` period defined in this configuration.
> * This doesn't affect [partial rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions), **meaning shared layouts won't automatically be refetched on every navigation, only the page segment that changes.**
> * This doesn't change [back/forward caching](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#client-side-router-cache) behavior to prevent layout shift and to prevent losing the browser scroll position.

# How to create a static export of your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js enables starting as a static site or Single-Page Application (SPA), then later optionally upgrading to use features that require a server.

When running `next build`, Next.js generates an HTML file per route. By breaking a strict SPA into individual HTML files, Next.js can avoid loading unnecessary JavaScript code on the client-side, reducing the bundle size and enabling faster page loads.

Since Next.js supports this static export, it can be deployed and hosted on any web server that can serve HTML/CSS/JS static assets.

## Configuration

To enable a static export, change the output mode inside `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js" highlight={5}
/**
 * @type {import('next').NextConfig}
 */
const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export',

  // Optional: Change links `/me` -> `/me/` and emit `/me.html` -> `/me/index.html`
  // trailingSlash: true,

  // Optional: Prevent automatic `/me` -> `/me/`, instead preserve `href`
  // skipTrailingSlashRedirect: true,

  // Optional: Change the output directory `out` -> `dist`
  // distDir: 'dist',
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

After running `next build`, Next.js will create an `out` folder with the HTML/CSS/JS assets for your application.

## Supported Features

The core of Next.js has been designed to support static exports.

### Server Components

When you run `next build` to generate a static export, Server Components consumed inside the `app` directory will run during the build, similar to traditional static-site generation.

The resulting component will be rendered into static HTML for the initial page load and a static payload for client navigation between routes. No changes are required for your Server Components when using the static export, unless they consume [dynamic server functions](#unsupported-features).

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  // This fetch will run on the server during `next build`
  const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/...')
  const data = await res.json()

  return <main>...</main>
}
```

### Client Components

If you want to perform data fetching on the client, you can use a Client Component with [SWR](https://github.com/vercel/swr) to memoize requests.

```tsx filename="app/other/page.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (url: string) => fetch(url).then((r) => r.json())

export default function Page() {
  const { data, error } = useSWR(
    `https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1`,
    fetcher
  )
  if (error) return 'Failed to load'
  if (!data) return 'Loading...'

  return data.title
}
```

```jsx filename="app/other/page.js" switcher
'use client'

import useSWR from 'swr'

const fetcher = (url) => fetch(url).then((r) => r.json())

export default function Page() {
  const { data, error } = useSWR(
    `https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1`,
    fetcher
  )
  if (error) return 'Failed to load'
  if (!data) return 'Loading...'

  return data.title
}
```

Since route transitions happen client-side, this behaves like a traditional SPA. For example, the following index route allows you to navigate to different posts on the client:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Index Page</h1>
      <hr />
      <ul>
        <li>
          <Link href="/post/1">Post 1</Link>
        </li>
        <li>
          <Link href="/post/2">Post 2</Link>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Index Page</h1>
      <p>
        <Link href="/other">Other Page</Link>
      </p>
    </>
  )
}
```

### Image Optimization

[Image Optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) through `next/image` can be used with a static export by defining a custom image loader in `next.config.js`. For example, you can optimize images with a service like Cloudinary:

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export',
  images: {
    loader: 'custom',
    loaderFile: './my-loader.ts',
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

This custom loader will define how to fetch images from a remote source. For example, the following loader will construct the URL for Cloudinary:

```ts filename="my-loader.ts" switcher
export default function cloudinaryLoader({
  src,
  width,
  quality,
}: {
  src: string
  width: number
  quality?: number
}) {
  const params = ['f_auto', 'c_limit', `w_${width}`, `q_${quality || 'auto'}`]
  return `https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/${params.join(
    ','
  )}${src}`
}
```

```js filename="my-loader.js" switcher
export default function cloudinaryLoader({ src, width, quality }) {
  const params = ['f_auto', 'c_limit', `w_${width}`, `q_${quality || 'auto'}`]
  return `https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/${params.join(
    ','
  )}${src}`
}
```

You can then use `next/image` in your application, defining relative paths to the image in Cloudinary:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image alt="turtles" src="/turtles.jpg" width={300} height={300} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image alt="turtles" src="/turtles.jpg" width={300} height={300} />
}
```

### Route Handlers

Route Handlers will render a static response when running `next build`. Only the `GET` HTTP verb is supported. This can be used to generate static HTML, JSON, TXT, or other files from cached or uncached data. For example:

```ts filename="app/data.json/route.ts" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({ name: 'Lee' })
}
```

```js filename="app/data.json/route.js" switcher
export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({ name: 'Lee' })
}
```

The above file `app/data.json/route.ts` will render to a static file during `next build`, producing `data.json` containing `{ name: 'Lee' }`.

If you need to read dynamic values from the incoming request, you cannot use a static export.

### Browser APIs

Client Components are pre-rendered to HTML during `next build`. Because [Web APIs](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API) like `window`, `localStorage`, and `navigator` are not available on the server, you need to safely access these APIs only when running in the browser. For example:

```jsx
'use client';

import { useEffect } from 'react';

export default function ClientComponent() {
  useEffect(() => {
    // You now have access to `window`
    console.log(window.innerHeight);
  }, [])

  return ...;
}
```

## Unsupported Features

Features that require a Node.js server, or dynamic logic that cannot be computed during the build process, are **not** supported:

* [Dynamic Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) with `dynamicParams: true`
* [Dynamic Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) without `generateStaticParams()`
* [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) that rely on Request
* [Cookies](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)
* [Rewrites](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md)
* [Redirects](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/redirects.md)
* [Headers](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/headers.md)
* [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md)
* [Incremental Static Regeneration](/docs/app/guides/incremental-static-regeneration.md)
* [Image Optimization](/docs/app/api-reference/components/image.md) with the default `loader`
* [Draft Mode](/docs/app/guides/draft-mode.md)
* [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md)
* [Intercepting Routes](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/intercepting-routes.md)

Attempting to use any of these features with `next dev` will result in an error, similar to setting the [`dynamic`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#dynamic) option to `error` in the root layout.

```jsx
export const dynamic = 'error'
```

## Deploying

With a static export, Next.js can be deployed and hosted on any web server that can serve HTML/CSS/JS static assets.

When running `next build`, Next.js generates the static export into the `out` folder. For example, let's say you have the following routes:

* `/`
* `/blog/[id]`

After running `next build`, Next.js will generate the following files:

* `/out/index.html`
* `/out/404.html`
* `/out/blog/post-1.html`
* `/out/blog/post-2.html`

If you are using a static host like Nginx, you can configure rewrites from incoming requests to the correct files:

```nginx filename="nginx.conf"
server {
  listen 80;
  server_name acme.com;

  root /var/www/out;

  location / {
      try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404;
  }

  # This is necessary when `trailingSlash: false`.
  # You can omit this when `trailingSlash: true`.
  location /blog/ {
      rewrite ^/blog/(.*)$ /blog/$1.html break;
  }

  error_page 404 /404.html;
  location = /404.html {
      internal;
  }
}
```

If a page uses **Static Generation**, the page HTML is generated at **build time**. That means in production, the page HTML is generated when you run `next build`. This HTML will then be reused on each request. It can be cached by a CDN.

In Next.js, you can statically generate pages **with or without data**. Let's take a look at each case.

### Static Generation without data

By default, Next.js pre-renders pages using Static Generation without fetching data. Here's an example:

```jsx
function About() {
  return <div>About</div>
}

export default About
```

Note that this page does not need to fetch any external data to be pre-rendered. In cases like this, Next.js generates a single HTML file per page during build time.

### Static Generation with data

Some pages require fetching external data for pre-rendering. There are two scenarios, and one or both might apply. In each case, you can use these functions that Next.js provides:

1. Your page **content** depends on external data: Use `getStaticProps`.
2. Your page **paths** depend on external data: Use `getStaticPaths` (usually in addition to `getStaticProps`).

#### Scenario 1: Your page content depends on external data

**Example**: Your blog page might need to fetch the list of blog posts from a CMS (content management system).

```jsx
// TODO: Need to fetch `posts` (by calling some API endpoint)
//       before this page can be pre-rendered.
export default function Blog({ posts }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

To fetch this data on pre-render, Next.js allows you to `export` an `async` function called `getStaticProps` from the same file. This function gets called at build time and lets you pass fetched data to the page's `props` on pre-render.

```jsx
export default function Blog({ posts }) {
  // Render posts...
}

// This function gets called at build time
export async function getStaticProps() {
  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts')
  const posts = await res.json()

  // By returning { props: { posts } }, the Blog component
  // will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
  return {
    props: {
      posts,
    },
  }
}
```

To learn more about how `getStaticProps` works, check out the [Data Fetching documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-props.md).

#### Scenario 2: Your page paths depend on external data

Next.js allows you to create pages with **dynamic routes**. For example, you can create a file called `pages/posts/[id].js` to show a single blog post based on `id`. This will allow you to show a blog post with `id: 1` when you access `posts/1`.

> To learn more about dynamic routing, check the [Dynamic Routing documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes.md).

However, which `id` you want to pre-render at build time might depend on external data.

**Example**: suppose that you've only added one blog post (with `id: 1`) to the database. In this case, you'd only want to pre-render `posts/1` at build time.

Later, you might add the second post with `id: 2`. Then you'd want to pre-render `posts/2` as well.

So your page **paths** that are pre-rendered depend on external data. To handle this, Next.js lets you `export` an `async` function called `getStaticPaths` from a dynamic page (`pages/posts/[id].js` in this case). This function gets called at build time and lets you specify which paths you want to pre-render.

```jsx
// This function gets called at build time
export async function getStaticPaths() {
  // Call an external API endpoint to get posts
  const res = await fetch('https://.../posts')
  const posts = await res.json()

  // Get the paths we want to pre-render based on posts
  const paths = posts.map((post) => ({
    params: { id: post.id },
  }))

  // We'll pre-render only these paths at build time.
  // { fallback: false } means other routes should 404.
  return { paths, fallback: false }
}
```

Also in `pages/posts/[id].js`, you need to export `getStaticProps` so that you can fetch the data about the post with this `id` and use it to pre-render the page:

```jsx
export default function Post({ post }) {
  // Render post...
}

export async function getStaticPaths() {
  // ...
}

// This also gets called at build time
export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
  // params contains the post `id`.
  // If the route is like /posts/1, then params.id is 1
  const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts/${params.id}`)
  const post = await res.json()

  // Pass post data to the page via props
  return { props: { post } }
}
```

To learn more about how `getStaticPaths` works, check out the [Data Fetching documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/get-static-paths.md).

### When should I use Static Generation?

We recommend using **Static Generation** (with and without data) whenever possible because your page can be built once and served by CDN, which makes it much faster than having a server render the page on every request.

You can use Static Generation for many types of pages, including:

* Marketing pages
* Blog posts and portfolios
* E-commerce product listings
* Help and documentation

You should ask yourself: "Can I pre-render this page **ahead** of a user's request?" If the answer is yes, then you should choose Static Generation.

On the other hand, Static Generation is **not** a good idea if you cannot pre-render a page ahead of a user's request. Maybe your page shows frequently updated data, and the page content changes on every request.

In cases like this, you can do one of the following:

* Use Static Generation with **Client-side data fetching:** You can skip pre-rendering some parts of a page and then use client-side JavaScript to populate them. To learn more about this approach, check out the [Data Fetching documentation](/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/client-side.md).
* Use **Server-Side Rendering:** Next.js pre-renders a page on each request. It will be slower because the page cannot be cached by a CDN, but the pre-rendered page will always be up-to-date. We'll talk about this approach below.

# staticGeneration*
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The `staticGeneration*` options allow you to configure the Static Generation process for advanced use cases.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    staticGenerationRetryCount: 1,
    staticGenerationMaxConcurrency: 8,
    staticGenerationMinPagesPerWorker: 25,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    staticGenerationRetryCount: 1,
    staticGenerationMaxConcurrency: 8,
    staticGenerationMinPagesPerWorker: 25,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

## Config Options

The following options are available:

* `staticGenerationRetryCount`: The number of times to retry a failed page generation before failing the build.
* `staticGenerationMaxConcurrency`: The maximum number of pages to be processed per worker.
* `staticGenerationMinPagesPerWorker`: The minimum number of pages to be processed before starting a new worker.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/architecture/supported-browsers.md

# Supported Browsers
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js supports **modern browsers** with zero configuration.

* Chrome 111+
* Edge 111+
* Firefox 111+
* Safari 16.4+

## Browserslist

If you would like to target specific browsers or features, Next.js supports [Browserslist](https://browsersl.ist) configuration in your `package.json` file. Next.js uses the following Browserslist configuration by default:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "browserslist": ["chrome 111", "edge 111", "firefox 111", "safari 16.4"]
}
```

## Polyfills

We inject [widely used polyfills](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next-polyfill-nomodule/src/index.js), including:

* [**fetch()**](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) — Replacing: `whatwg-fetch` and `unfetch`.
* [**URL**](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URL) — Replacing: the [`url` package (Node.js API)](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html).
* [**Object.assign()**](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign) — Replacing: `object-assign`, `object.assign`, and `core-js/object/assign`.

If any of your dependencies include these polyfills, they’ll be eliminated automatically from the production build to avoid duplication.

In addition, to reduce bundle size, Next.js will only load these polyfills for browsers that require them. The majority of the web traffic globally will not download these polyfills.

### Custom Polyfills

If your own code or any external npm dependencies require features not supported by your target browsers (such as IE 11), you need to add polyfills yourself.

#### In App Router

To include polyfills, you can import them into the [`instrumentation-client.js` file](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/instrumentation-client.md).

```ts filename="instrumentation-client.ts"
import './polyfills'
```

#### In Pages Router

In this case, you should add a top-level import for the **specific polyfill** you need in your [Custom `<App>`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md) or the individual component.

```tsx filename="pages/_app.tsx" switcher
import './polyfills'

import type { AppProps } from 'next/app'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
```

```jsx filename="pages/_app.jsx" switcher
import './polyfills'

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
```

#### Conditionally loading polyfills

The best approach is to isolate unsupported features to specific UI sections and conditionally load the polyfill if needed.

```ts filename="hooks/analytics.ts" switcher
import { useCallback } from 'react'

export const useAnalytics = () => {
  const tracker = useCallback(async (data: unknown) => {
    if (!('structuredClone' in globalThis)) {
      import('polyfills/structured-clone').then((mod) => {
        globalThis.structuredClone = mod.default
      })
    }

    /* Do some work that uses structured clone */
  }, [])

  return tracker
}
```

```js filename="hooks/analytics.js" switcher
import { useCallback } from 'react'

export const useAnalytics = () => {
  const tracker = useCallback(async (data) => {
    if (!('structuredClone' in globalThis)) {
      import('polyfills/structured-clone').then((mod) => {
        globalThis.structuredClone = mod.default
      })
    }

    /* Do some work that uses structured clone */
  }, [])

  return tracker
}
```

## JavaScript Language Features

Next.js allows you to use the latest JavaScript features out of the box. In addition to [ES6 features](https://github.com/lukehoban/es6features), Next.js also supports:

* [Async/await](https://github.com/tc39/ecmascript-asyncawait) (ES2017)

# How to install Tailwind CSS v3 in your Next.js application
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This guide will walk you through how to install [Tailwind CSS v3](https://v3.tailwindcss.com/) in your Next.js application.

> **Good to know:** For the latest Tailwind 4 setup, see the [Tailwind CSS setup instructions](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#tailwind-css).

## Installing Tailwind v3

Install Tailwind CSS and its peer dependencies, then run the `init` command to generate both `tailwind.config.js` and `postcss.config.js` files:

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
```

```bash package="npm"
npm install -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
bunx tailwindcss init -p
```

## Configuring Tailwind v3

Configure your template paths in your `tailwind.config.js` file:

```js filename="tailwind.config.js"
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    './app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
    './pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
    './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}
```

Add the Tailwind directives to your global CSS file:

```css filename="app/globals.css"
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
```

Import the CSS file in your root layout:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import './globals.css'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import './globals.css'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

## Using classes

After installing Tailwind CSS and adding the global styles, you can use Tailwind's utility classes in your application.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
}
```

## Usage with Turbopack

As of Next.js 13.1, Tailwind CSS and PostCSS are supported with [Turbopack](https://turbo.build/pack/docs/features/css#tailwind-css).

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/taint.md

# taint
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

## Usage

The `taint` option enables support for experimental React APIs for tainting objects and values. This feature helps prevent sensitive data from being accidentally passed to the client. When enabled, you can use:

* [`experimental_taintObjectReference`](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintObjectReference) taint objects references.
* [`experimental_taintUniqueValue`](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintUniqueValue) to taint unique values.

> **Good to know**: Activating this flag also enables the React `experimental` channel for `app` directory.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    taint: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    taint: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> **Warning:** Do not rely on the taint API as your only mechanism to prevent exposing sensitive data to the client. See our [security recommendations](/blog/security-nextjs-server-components-actions).

The taint APIs allows you to be defensive, by declaratively and explicitly marking data that is not allowed to pass through the Server-Client boundary. When an object or value, is passed through the Server-Client boundary, React throws an error.

This is helpful for cases where:

* The methods to read data are out of your control
* You have to work with sensitive data shapes not defined by you
* Sensitive data is accessed during Server Component rendering

It is recommended to model your data and APIs so that sensitive data is not returned to contexts where it is not needed.

## Caveats

* Tainting can only keep track of objects by reference. Copying an object creates an untainted version, which loses all guarantees given by the API. You'll need to taint the copy.
* Tainting cannot keep track of data derived from a tainted value. You also need to taint the derived value.
* Values are tainted for as long as their lifetime reference is within scope. See the [`experimental_taintUniqueValue` parameters reference](https://react.dev/reference/react/experimental_taintUniqueValue#parameters), for more information.

## Examples

### Tainting an object reference

In this case, the `getUserDetails` function returns data about a given user. We taint the user object reference, so that it cannot cross a Server-Client boundary. For example, assuming `UserCard` is a Client Component.

```ts switcher
import { experimental_taintObjectReference } from 'react'

function getUserDetails(id: string): UserDetails {
  const user = await db.queryUserById(id)

  experimental_taintObjectReference(
    'Do not use the entire user info object. Instead, select only the fields you need.',
    user
  )

  return user
}
```

```js switcher
import { experimental_taintObjectReference } from 'react'

function getUserDetails(id) {
  const user = await db.queryUserById(id)

  experimental_taintObjectReference(
    'Do not use the entire user info object. Instead, select only the fields you need.',
    user
  )

  return user
}
```

We can still access individual fields from the tainted `userDetails` object.

```tsx filename="app/contact/page.tsx switcher
export async function ContactPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params
  const userDetails = await getUserDetails(id)

  return (
    <UserCard
      firstName={userDetails.firstName}
      lastName={userDetails.lastName}
    />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/contact/page.js switcher
export async function ContactPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const userDetails = await getUserDetails(id)

  return (
    <UserCard
      firstName={userDetails.firstName}
      lastName={userDetails.lastName}
    />
  )
}
```

Now, passing the entire object to the Client Component will throw an error.

```tsx switcher
export async function ContactPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const userDetails = await getUserDetails(id)

  // Throws an error
  return <UserCard user={userDetails} />
}
```

```jsx switcher
export async function ContactPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params
  const userDetails = await getUserDetails(id)

  // Throws an error
  return <UserCard user={userDetails} />
}
```

### Tainting a unique value

In this case, we can access the server configuration by awaiting calls to `config.getConfigDetails`. However, the system configuration contains the `SERVICE_API_KEY` that we don't want to expose to clients.

We can taint the `config.SERVICE_API_KEY` value.

```ts switcher
import { experimental_taintUniqueValue } from 'react'

function getSystemConfig(): SystemConfig {
  const config = await config.getConfigDetails()

  experimental_taintUniqueValue(
    'Do not pass configuration tokens to the client',
    config,
    config.SERVICE_API_KEY
  )

  return config
}
```

```js switcher
import { experimental_taintUniqueValue } from 'react'

function getSystemConfig() {
  const config = await config.getConfigDetails()

  experimental_taintUniqueValue(
    'Do not pass configuration tokens to the client',
    config,
    config.SERVICE_API_KEY
  )

  return config
}
```

We can still access other properties of the `systemConfig` object.

```tsx
export async function Dashboard() {
  const systemConfig = await getSystemConfig()

  return <ClientDashboard version={systemConfig.SERVICE_API_VERSION} />
}
```

However, passing `SERVICE_API_KEY` to `ClientDashboard` throws an error.

```tsx
export async function Dashboard() {
  const systemConfig = await getSystemConfig()
  // Someone makes a mistake in a PR
  const version = systemConfig.SERVICE_API_KEY

  return <ClientDashboard version={version} />
}
```

Note that, even though, `systemConfig.SERVICE_API_KEY` is reassigned to a new variable. Passing it to a Client Component still throws an error.

Whereas, a value derived from a tainted unique value, will be exposed to the client.

```tsx
export async function Dashboard() {
  const systemConfig = await getSystemConfig()
  // Someone makes a mistake in a PR
  const version = `version::${systemConfig.SERVICE_API_KEY}`

  return <ClientDashboard version={version} />
}
```

A better approach is to remove `SERVICE_API_KEY` from the data returned by `getSystemConfig`.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/template.md

# template.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


A **template** file is similar to a [layout](/docs/app/getting-started/layouts-and-pages.md#creating-a-layout) in that it wraps a layout or page. Unlike layouts that persist across routes and maintain state, templates are given a unique key, meaning children Client Components reset their state on navigation.

They are useful when you need to:

* Resynchronize `useEffect` on navigation.
* Reset the state of a child Client Components on navigation. For example, an input field.
* To change default framework behavior. For example, Suspense boundaries inside layouts only show a fallback on first load, while templates show it on every navigation.

## Convention

A template can be defined by exporting a default React component from a `template.js` file. The component should accept a `children` prop.

![template.js special file](https://h8DxKfmAPhn8O0p3.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/docs/light/template-special-file.png)

```tsx filename="app/template.tsx" switcher
export default function Template({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/template.js" switcher
export default function Template({ children }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

In terms of nesting, `template.js` is rendered between a layout and its children. Here's a simplified output:

```jsx filename="Output"
<Layout>
  {/* Note that the template is given a unique key. */}
  <Template key={routeParam}>{children}</Template>
</Layout>
```

## Props

### `children` (required)

Template accepts a `children` prop.

```jsx filename="Output"
<Layout>
  {/* Note that the template is automatically given a unique key. */}
  <Template key={routeParam}>{children}</Template>
</Layout>
```

## Behavior

* **Server Components**: By default, templates are Server Components.
* **With navigation**: Templates receive a unique key for their own segment level. They remount when that segment (including its dynamic params) changes. Navigations within deeper segments do not remount higher-level templates. Search params do not trigger remounts.
* **State reset**: Any Client Component inside the template will reset its state on navigation.
* **Effect re-run**: Effects like `useEffect` will re-synchronize as the component remounts.
* **DOM reset**: DOM elements inside the template are fully recreated.

### Templates during navigation and remounting

This section illustrates how templates behave during navigation. It shows, step by step, which templates remount on each route change and why.

Using this project tree:

```
app
├── about
│   ├── page.tsx
├── blog
│   ├── [slug]
│   │   └── page.tsx
│   ├── page.tsx
│   └── template.tsx
├── layout.tsx
├── page.tsx
└── template.tsx
```

Starting at `/`, the React tree looks roughly like this.

> Note: The `key` values shown in the examples are illustrative, the values in your application may differ.

```jsx filename="Output"
<RootLayout>
  {/* app/template.tsx */}
  <Template key="/">
    <Page />
  </Template>
</RootLayout>
```

Navigating to `/about` (first segment changes), the root template key changes, it remounts:

```jsx filename="Output"
<RootLayout>
  {/* app/template.tsx */}
  <Template key="/about">
    <AboutPage />
  </Template>
</RootLayout>
```

Navigating to `/blog` (first segment changes), the root template key changes, it remounts and the blog-level template mounts:

```jsx filename="Output"
<RootLayout>
  {/* app/template.tsx (root) */}
  <Template key="/blog">
    {/* app/blog/template.tsx */}
    <Template key="/blog">
      <BlogIndexPage />
    </Template>
  </Template>
</RootLayout>
```

Navigating within the same first segment to `/blog/first-post` (child segment changes), the root template key doesn't change, but the blog-level template key changes, it remounts:

```jsx filename="Output"
<RootLayout>
  {/* app/template.tsx (root) */}
  <Template key="/blog">
    {/* app/blog/template.tsx */}
    {/* remounts because the child segment at this level changed */}
    <Template key="/blog/first-post">
      <BlogPostPage slug="first-post" />
    </Template>
  </Template>
</RootLayout>
```

Navigating to `/blog/second-post` (same first segment, different child segment), the root template key doesn't change, but the blog-level template key changes, it remounts again:

```jsx filename="Output"
<RootLayout>
  {/* app/template.tsx (root) */}
  <Template key="/blog">
    {/* app/blog/template.tsx */}
    {/* remounts again due to changed child segment */}
    <Template key="/blog/second-post">
      <BlogPostPage slug="second-post" />
    </Template>
  </Template>
</RootLayout>
```

# Testing
@doc-version: 16.0.4


In React and Next.js, there are a few different types of tests you can write, each with its own purpose and use cases. This page provides an overview of types and commonly used tools you can use to test your application.

## Types of tests

* **Unit Testing** involves testing individual units (or blocks of code) in isolation. In React, a unit can be a single function, hook, or component.
  * **Component Testing** is a more focused version of unit testing where the primary subject of the tests is React components. This may involve testing how components are rendered, their interaction with props, and their behavior in response to user events.
  * **Integration Testing** involves testing how multiple units work together. This can be a combination of components, hooks, and functions.
* **End-to-End (E2E) Testing** involves testing user flows in an environment that simulates real user scenarios, like the browser. This means testing specific tasks (e.g. signup flow) in a production-like environment.
* **Snapshot Testing** involves capturing the rendered output of a component and saving it to a snapshot file. When tests run, the current rendered output of the component is compared against the saved snapshot. Changes in the snapshot are used to indicate unexpected changes in behavior.

## Async Server Components

Since `async` Server Components are new to the React ecosystem, some tools do not fully support them. In the meantime, we recommend using **End-to-End Testing** over **Unit Testing** for `async` components.

# How to optimize third-party libraries
@doc-version: 16.0.4


**`@next/third-parties`** is a library that provides a collection of components and utilities that improve the performance and developer experience of loading popular third-party libraries in your Next.js application.

All third-party integrations provided by `@next/third-parties` have been optimized for performance and ease of use.

## Getting Started

To get started, install the `@next/third-parties` library:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install @next/third-parties@latest next@latest
```

`@next/third-parties` is currently an **experimental** library under active development. We recommend installing it with the **latest** or **canary** flags while we work on adding more third-party integrations.

## Google Third-Parties

All supported third-party libraries from Google can be imported from `@next/third-parties/google`.

### Google Tag Manager

The `GoogleTagManager` component can be used to instantiate a [Google Tag Manager](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager) container to your page. By default, it fetches the original inline script after hydration occurs on the page.

To load Google Tag Manager for all routes, include the component directly in your root layout and pass in your GTM container ID:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

To load Google Tag Manager for a single route, include the component in your page file:

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { GoogleTagManager } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function Page() {
  return <GoogleTagManager gtmId="GTM-XYZ" />
}
```

#### Sending Events

The `sendGTMEvent` function can be used to track user interactions on your page by sending events
using the `dataLayer` object. For this function to work, the `<GoogleTagManager />` component must be
included in either a parent layout, page, or component, or directly in the same file.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
'use client'

import { sendGTMEvent } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export function EventButton() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button
        onClick={() => sendGTMEvent({ event: 'buttonClicked', value: 'xyz' })}
      >
        Send Event
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Refer to the Tag Manager [developer
documentation](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/datalayer) to learn about the
different variables and events that can be passed into the function.

#### Server-side Tagging

If you're using a server-side tag manager and serving `gtm.js` scripts from your tagging server you can
use `gtmScriptUrl` option to specify the URL of the script.

#### Options

Options to pass to the Google Tag Manager. For a full list of options, read the [Google Tag Manager
docs](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/datalayer).

| Name            | Type       | Description                                                              |
| --------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `gtmId`         | Required\* | Your GTM container ID. Usually starts with `GTM-`.                       |
| `gtmScriptUrl`  | Optional\* | GTM script URL. Defaults to `https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js`.   |
| `dataLayer`     | Optional   | Data layer object to instantiate the container with.                     |
| `dataLayerName` | Optional   | Name of the data layer. Defaults to `dataLayer`.                         |
| `auth`          | Optional   | Value of authentication parameter (`gtm_auth`) for environment snippets. |
| `preview`       | Optional   | Value of preview parameter (`gtm_preview`) for environment snippets.     |

\*`gtmId` can be omitted when `gtmScriptUrl` is provided to support [Google tag gateway for advertisers](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/gateway/setup-guide?setup=manual).

### Google Analytics

The `GoogleAnalytics` component can be used to include [Google Analytics
4](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4) to your page via the Google tag
(`gtag.js`). By default, it fetches the original scripts after hydration occurs on the page.

> **Recommendation**: If Google Tag Manager is already included in your application, you can
> configure Google Analytics directly using it, rather than including Google Analytics as a separate
> component. Refer to the
> [documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/tag-options#what-is-gtm)
> to learn more about the differences between Tag Manager and `gtag.js`.

To load Google Analytics for all routes, include the component directly in your root layout and pass
in your measurement ID:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
      <GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
    </html>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>{children}</body>
      <GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
    </html>
  )
}
```

To load Google Analytics for a single route, include the component in your page file:

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function Page() {
  return <GoogleAnalytics gaId="G-XYZ" />
}
```

#### Sending Events

The `sendGAEvent` function can be used to measure user interactions on your page by sending events
using the `dataLayer` object. For this function to work, the `<GoogleAnalytics />` component must be
included in either a parent layout, page, or component, or directly in the same file.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
'use client'

import { sendGAEvent } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export function EventButton() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button
        onClick={() => sendGAEvent('event', 'buttonClicked', { value: 'xyz' })}
      >
        Send Event
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

Refer to the Google Analytics [developer
documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/event-parameters) to learn
more about event parameters.

#### Tracking Pageviews

Google Analytics automatically tracks pageviews when the browser history state changes. This means
that client-side navigations between Next.js routes will send pageview data without any configuration.

To ensure that client-side navigations are being measured correctly, verify that the [*“Enhanced
Measurement”*](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9216061#enable_disable) property is
enabled in your Admin panel and the *“Page changes based on browser history events”* checkbox is
selected.

> **Note**: If you decide to manually send pageview events, make sure to disable the default
> pageview measurement to avoid having duplicate data. Refer to the Google Analytics [developer
> documentation](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/views?client_type=gtag#manual_pageviews)
> to learn more.

#### Options

Options to pass to the `<GoogleAnalytics>` component.

| Name            | Type     | Description                                                                                            |
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `gaId`          | Required | Your [measurement ID](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12270356). Usually starts with `G-`. |
| `dataLayerName` | Optional | Name of the data layer. Defaults to `dataLayer`.                                                       |
| `nonce`         | Optional | A [nonce](/docs/app/guides/content-security-policy.md#nonces).                                            |

### Google Maps Embed

The `GoogleMapsEmbed` component can be used to add a [Google Maps
Embed](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/embedding-map) to your page. By
default, it uses the `loading` attribute to lazy-load the embed below the fold.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { GoogleMapsEmbed } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <GoogleMapsEmbed
      apiKey="XYZ"
      height={200}
      width="100%"
      mode="place"
      q="Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY"
    />
  )
}
```

| `region`          | Optional | Defines the appropriate borders and labels to display, based on geo-political sensitivities.        |

### YouTube Embed

The `YouTubeEmbed` component can be used to load and display a YouTube embed. This component loads
faster by using [`lite-youtube-embed`](https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed) under the
hood.

```jsx filename="app/page.js"
import { YouTubeEmbed } from '@next/third-parties/google'

export default function Page() {
  return <YouTubeEmbed videoid="ogfYd705cRs" height={400} params="controls=0" />
}
```

# trailingSlash
@doc-version: 16.0.4


By default Next.js will redirect URLs with trailing slashes to their counterpart without a trailing slash. For example `/about/` will redirect to `/about`. You can configure this behavior to act the opposite way, where URLs without trailing slashes are redirected to their counterparts with trailing slashes.

Open `next.config.js` and add the `trailingSlash` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  trailingSlash: true,
}
```

With this option set, URLs like `/about` will redirect to `/about/`.

When using `trailingSlash: true`, certain URLs are exceptions and will not have a trailing slash appended:

* Static file URLs, such as files with extensions.
* Any paths under `.well-known/`.

For example, the following URLs will remain unchanged: `/file.txt`, `images/photos/picture.png`, and `.well-known/subfolder/config.json`.

When used with [`output: "export"`](/docs/app/guides/static-exports.md) configuration, the `/about` page will output `/about/index.html` (instead of the default `/about.html`).

## Version History

| Version  | Changes                |
| -------- | ---------------------- |
| `v9.5.0` | `trailingSlash` added. |

# transpilePackages
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js can automatically transpile and bundle dependencies from local packages (like monorepos) or from external dependencies (`node_modules`). This replaces the `next-transpile-modules` package.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  transpilePackages: ['package-name'],
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

# turbopack
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `turbopack` option lets you customize [Turbopack](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md) to transform different files and change how modules are resolved.

> **Good to know**: The `turbopack` option was previously named `experimental.turbo` in Next.js versions 13.0.0 to 15.2.x. The `experimental.turbo` option will be removed in Next.js 16.
>
> If you are using an older version of Next.js, run `npx @next/codemod@latest next-experimental-turbo-to-turbopack .` to automatically migrate your configuration.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    // ...
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    // ...
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Turbopack for Next.js does not require loaders or loader configuration for built-in functionality. Turbopack has built-in support for CSS and compiling modern JavaScript, so there's no need for `css-loader`, `postcss-loader`, or `babel-loader` if you're using `@babel/preset-env`.

## Reference

### Options

The following options are available for the `turbopack` configuration:

| Option              | Description                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `root`              | Sets the application root directory. Should be an absolute path.                                                                         |
| `rules`             | List of supported webpack loaders to apply when running with Turbopack.                                                                  |
| `resolveAlias`      | Map aliased imports to modules to load in their place.                                                                                   |
| `resolveExtensions` | List of extensions to resolve when importing files.                                                                                      |
| `debugIds`          | Enable generation of [debug IDs](https://github.com/tc39/ecma426/blob/main/proposals/debug-id.md) in JavaScript bundles and source maps. |

### Supported loaders

The following loaders have been tested to work with Turbopack's webpack loader implementation, but many other webpack loaders should work as well even if not listed here:

* [`babel-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-loader) [*(Configured automatically if a Babel configuration file is found)*](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md#language-features)
* [`@svgr/webpack`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@svgr/webpack)
* [`svg-inline-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/svg-inline-loader)
* [`yaml-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yaml-loader)
* [`string-replace-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/string-replace-loader)
* [`raw-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/raw-loader)
* [`sass-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass-loader) [*(Configured automatically)*](/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack.md#css-and-styling)
* [`graphql-tag/loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphql-tag)

#### Missing Webpack loader features

Turbopack uses the [`loader-runner`](https://github.com/webpack/loader-runner) library to execute webpack loaders, which provides most of the standard loader API. However, some features are not supported:

**Module loading:**

* [`importModule`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisimportmodule) - No support
* [`loadModule`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisloadmodule) - No support

**File system and output:**

* [`fs`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisfs) - Partial support: only `fs.readFile` is currently implemented.
* [`emitFile`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisemitfile) - No support

**Context properties:**

* [`version`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisversion) - No support
* [`mode`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thismode) - No support
* [`target`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thistarget) - No support

**Utilities:**

* [`utils`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisutils) - No support
* [`resolve`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisresolve) - No support (use [`getResolve`](https://webpack.js.org/api/loaders/#thisgetresolve) instead)

If you have a loader that is critically dependent upon one of these features please file an issue.

## Examples

### Root directory

Turbopack uses the root directory to resolve modules. Files outside of the project root are not resolved.

The reason files are not resolved outside of the project root is to improve cache validation, reduce filesystem watching overhead, and reduce the number of resolving steps needed.

Next.js automatically detects the root directory of your project. It does so by looking for one of these files:

* `pnpm-lock.yaml`
* `package-lock.json`
* `yarn.lock`
* `bun.lock`
* `bun.lockb`

If you have a different project structure, for example if you don't use workspaces, you can manually set the `root` option:

```js filename="next.config.js"
const path = require('path')
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    root: path.join(__dirname, '..'),
  },
}
```

To resolve files from linked dependencies outside the project root (via `npm link`, `yarn link`, `pnpm link`, etc.), you must configure the `turbopack.root` to the parent directory of both the project and the linked dependencies.

While this expands the scope of filesystem watching, it's typically only necessary during development when actively working on linked packages.

### Configuring webpack loaders

If you need loader support beyond what's built in, many webpack loaders already work with Turbopack. There are currently some limitations:

* Only a core subset of the webpack loader API is implemented. Currently, there is enough coverage for some popular loaders, and we'll expand our API support in the future.
* Only loaders that return JavaScript code are supported. Loaders that transform files like stylesheets or images are not currently supported.
* Options passed to webpack loaders must be plain JavaScript primitives, objects, and arrays. For example, it's not possible to pass `require()` plugin modules as option values.

To configure loaders, add the names of the loaders you've installed and any options in `next.config.js`, mapping file extensions to a list of loaders. Rules are evaluated in order.

Here is an example below using the [`@svgr/webpack`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@svgr/webpack) loader, which enables importing `.svg` files and rendering them as React components.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    rules: {
      '*.svg': {
        loaders: ['@svgr/webpack'],
        as: '*.js',
      },
    },
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: Globs used in the `rules` object match based on file name, unless the glob contains a `/` character, which will cause it to match based on the full project-relative file path. Windows file paths are normalized to use unix-style `/` path separators.
>
> Turbopack uses a modified version of the [Rust `globset` library](https://docs.rs/globset/latest/globset/).

For loaders that require configuration options, you can use an object format instead of a string:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    rules: {
      '*.svg': {
        loaders: [
          {
            loader: '@svgr/webpack',
            options: {
              icon: true,
            },
          },
        ],
        as: '*.js',
      },
    },
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: Prior to Next.js version 13.4.4, `turbopack.rules` was named `turbo.loaders` and only accepted file extensions like `.mdx` instead of `*.mdx`.

### Advanced webpack loader conditions

You can further restrict where a loader runs using the advanced `condition` syntax:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    rules: {
      // '*' will match all file paths, but we restrict where our
      // rule runs with a condition.
      '*': {
        condition: {
          all: [
            // 'foreign' is a built-in condition.
            { not: 'foreign' },
            // 'path' can be a RegExp or a glob string. A RegExp matches
            // anywhere in the full project-relative file path.
            { path: /^img\/[0-9]{3}\// },
            {
              any: [
                { path: '*.svg' },
                // 'content' is always a RegExp, and can match
                // anywhere in the file.
                { content: /\<svg\W/ },
              ],
            },
          ],
        },
        loaders: ['@svgr/webpack'],
        as: '*.js',
      },
    },
  },
}
```

* Supported boolean operators are `{all: [...]}`, `{any: [...]}` and `{not: ...}`.
* Supported customizable operators are `{path: string | RegExp}` and `{content: RegExp}`. If `path` and `content` are specified in the same object, it acts as an implicit `and`.

In addition, a number of built-in conditions are supported:

* `browser`: Matches code that will execute on the client. Server code can be matched using `{not: 'browser'}`.
* `foreign`: Matches code in `node_modules`, as well as some Next.js internals. Usually you'll want to restrict loaders to `{not: 'foreign'}`. This can improve performance by reducing the number of files the loader is invoked on.
* `development`: Matches when using `next dev`.
* `production`: Matches when using `next build`.
* `node`: Matches code that will run on the default Node.js runtime.
* `edge-light`: Matches code that will run on the [Edge runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md).

Rules can be an object or an array of objects. An array is often useful for modeling disjoint conditions:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    rules: {
      '*.svg': [
        {
          condition: 'browser',
          loaders: ['@svgr/webpack'],
          as: '*.js',
        },
        {
          condition: { not: 'browser' },
          loaders: [require.resolve('./custom-svg-loader.js')],
          as: '*.js',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
}
```

> **Good to know**: All matching rules are executed in order.

### Resolving aliases

Turbopack can be configured to modify module resolution through aliases, similar to webpack's [`resolve.alias`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolvealias) configuration.

To configure resolve aliases, map imported patterns to their new destination in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveAlias: {
      underscore: 'lodash',
      mocha: { browser: 'mocha/browser-entry.js' },
    },
  },
}
```

This aliases imports of the `underscore` package to the `lodash` package. In other words, `import underscore from 'underscore'` will load the `lodash` module instead of `underscore`.

Turbopack also supports conditional aliasing through this field, similar to Node.js' [conditional exports](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v18.x/api/packages.html#conditional-exports). At the moment only the `browser` condition is supported. In the case above, imports of the `mocha` module will be aliased to `mocha/browser-entry.js` when Turbopack targets browser environments.

### Resolving custom extensions

Turbopack can be configured to resolve modules with custom extensions, similar to webpack's [`resolve.extensions`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolveextensions) configuration.

To configure resolve extensions, use the `resolveExtensions` field in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveExtensions: ['.mdx', '.tsx', '.ts', '.jsx', '.js', '.mjs', '.json'],
  },
}
```

This overwrites the original resolve extensions with the provided list. Make sure to include the default extensions.

For more information and guidance for how to migrate your app to Turbopack from webpack, see [Turbopack's documentation on webpack compatibility](https://turbo.build/pack/docs/migrating-from-webpack).

### Debug IDs

Turbopack can be configured to generate [debug IDs](https://github.com/tc39/ecma426/blob/main/proposals/debug-id.md) in JavaScript bundles and source maps.

To configure debug IDs, use the `debugIds` field in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  turbopack: {
    debugIds: true,
  },
}
```

The option automatically adds a polyfill for debug IDs to the JavaScript bundle to ensure compatibility. The debug IDs are available in the `globalThis._debugIds` global variable.

# Turbopack FileSystem Caching
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Usage

Turbopack FileSystem Cache enables Turbopack to reduce work across `next dev` or `next build` commands. When enabled, Turbopack will save and restore data to the `.next` folder between builds, which can greatly speed up subsequent builds and dev sessions.

> **Good to know:** The FileSystem Cache feature is Beta and is still under development. Users adopting should expect some stability issues. We recommend first adopting it for development.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next dev`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next build`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForBuild: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next dev`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next build`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForBuild: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

@doc-version: 16.0.4


Next.js fails your **production build** (`next build`) when TypeScript errors are present in your project.

If you'd like Next.js to dangerously produce production code even when your application has errors, you can disable the built-in type checking step.

If disabled, be sure you are running type checks as part of your build or deploy process, otherwise this can be very dangerous.

Open `next.config.js` and enable the `ignoreBuildErrors` option in the `typescript` config:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  typescript: {
    // !! WARN !!
    // Dangerously allow production builds to successfully complete even if
    // your project has type errors.
    // !! WARN !!
    ignoreBuildErrors: true,
  },
}
```

# unauthorized.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

The **unauthorized** file is used to render UI when the [`unauthorized`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unauthorized.md) function is invoked during authentication. Along with allowing you to customize the UI, Next.js will return a `401` status code.

```tsx filename="app/unauthorized.tsx" switcher
import Login from '@/app/components/Login'

export default function Unauthorized() {
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>401 - Unauthorized</h1>
      <p>Please log in to access this page.</p>
      <Login />
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/unauthorized.js" switcher
import Login from '@/app/components/Login'

export default function Unauthorized() {
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>401 - Unauthorized</h1>
      <p>Please log in to access this page.</p>
      <Login />
    </main>
  )
}
```

## Reference

### Props

`unauthorized.js` components do not accept any props.

## Examples

### Displaying login UI to unauthenticated users

You can use [`unauthorized`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unauthorized.md) function to render the `unauthorized.js` file with a login UI.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'
import { unauthorized } from 'next/navigation'

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await verifySession()

  if (!session) {
    unauthorized()
  }

  return <div>Dashboard</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
import { verifySession } from '@/app/lib/dal'
import { unauthorized } from 'next/navigation'

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await verifySession()

  if (!session) {
    unauthorized()
  }

  return <div>Dashboard</div>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/unauthorized.tsx" switcher
import Login from '@/app/components/Login'

export default function UnauthorizedPage() {
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>401 - Unauthorized</h1>
      <p>Please log in to access this page.</p>
      <Login />
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/unauthorized.js" switcher
import Login from '@/app/components/Login'

export default function UnauthorizedPage() {
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>401 - Unauthorized</h1>
      <p>Please log in to access this page.</p>
      <Login />
    </main>
  )
}
```

# unstable_cache
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Warning:** This API will be replaced by [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) when it reaches stability.

`unstable_cache` allows you to cache the results of expensive operations, like database queries, and reuse them across multiple requests.

```jsx
import { getUser } from './data';
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache';

const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
  async (id) => getUser(id),
  ['my-app-user']
);

export default async function Component({ userID }) {
  const user = await getCachedUser(userID);
  ...
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Accessing dynamic data sources such as `headers` or `cookies` inside a cache scope is not supported. If you need this data inside a cached function use `headers` outside of the cached function and pass the required dynamic data in as an argument.
> * This API uses Next.js' built-in [Data Cache](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#data-cache) to persist the result across requests and deployments.

## Parameters

```jsx
const data = unstable_cache(fetchData, keyParts, options)()
```

* `fetchData`: This is an asynchronous function that fetches the data you want to cache. It must be a function that returns a `Promise`.
* `keyParts`: This is an extra array of keys that further adds identification to the cache. By default, `unstable_cache` already uses the arguments and the stringified version of your function as the cache key. It is optional in most cases; the only time you need to use it is when you use external variables without passing them as parameters. However, it is important to add closures used within the function if you do not pass them as parameters.
* `options`: This is an object that controls how the cache behaves. It can contain the following properties:
  * `tags`: An array of tags that can be used to control cache invalidation. Next.js will not use this to uniquely identify the function.
  * `revalidate`: The number of seconds after which the cache should be revalidated. Omit or pass `false` to cache indefinitely or until matching `revalidateTag()` or `revalidatePath()` methods are called.

## Returns

`unstable_cache` returns a function that when invoked, returns a Promise that resolves to the cached data. If the data is not in the cache, the provided function will be invoked, and its result will be cached and returned.

## Example

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache'

export default async function Page({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ userId: string }>
}) {
  const { userId } = await params
  const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
    async () => {
      return { id: userId }
    },
    [userId], // add the user ID to the cache key
    {
      tags: ['users'],
      revalidate: 60,
    }
  )

  //...
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
import { unstable_cache } from 'next/cache';

export default async function Page({ params } }) {
  const { userId } = await params
  const getCachedUser = unstable_cache(
    async () => {
      return { id: userId };
    },
    [userId], // add the user ID to the cache key
    {
      tags: ["users"],
      revalidate: 60,
    }
  );

  //...
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_noStore.md

# unstable_noStore
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This is a legacy API and no longer recommended. It is still supported for backward compatibility.

**In version 15, we recommend using [`connection`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md) instead of `unstable_noStore`.**

`unstable_noStore` can be used to declaratively opt out of static rendering and indicate a particular component should not be cached.

```jsx
import { unstable_noStore as noStore } from 'next/cache';

export default async function ServerComponent() {
  noStore();
  const result = await db.query(...);
  ...
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `unstable_noStore` is equivalent to `cache: 'no-store'` on a `fetch`
> * `unstable_noStore` is preferred over `export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` as it is more granular and can be used on a per-component basis

* Using `unstable_noStore` inside [`unstable_cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_cache.md) will not opt out of static generation. Instead, it will defer to the cache configuration to determine whether to cache the result or not.

## Usage

If you prefer not to pass additional options to `fetch`, like `cache: 'no-store'`, `next: { revalidate: 0 }` or in cases where `fetch` is not available, you can use `noStore()` as a replacement for all of these use cases.

```jsx
import { unstable_noStore as noStore } from 'next/cache';

export default async function ServerComponent() {
  noStore();
  const result = await db.query(...);
  ...
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/unstable_rethrow.md

# unstable_rethrow
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently unstable and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

`unstable_rethrow` can be used to avoid catching internal errors thrown by Next.js when attempting to handle errors thrown in your application code.

For example, calling the `notFound` function will throw an internal Next.js error and render the [`not-found.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/not-found.md) component. However, if used inside the `try` block of a `try/catch` statement, the error will be caught, preventing `not-found.js` from rendering:

```tsx filename="@/app/ui/component.tsx"
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'

export default async function Page() {
  try {
    const post = await fetch('https://.../posts/1').then((res) => {
      if (res.status === 404) notFound()
      if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText)
      return res.json()
    })
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err)
  }
}
```

You can use `unstable_rethrow` API to re-throw the internal error and continue with the expected behavior:

```tsx filename="@/app/ui/component.tsx"
import { notFound, unstable_rethrow } from 'next/navigation'

export default async function Page() {
  try {
    const post = await fetch('https://.../posts/1').then((res) => {
      if (res.status === 404) notFound()
      if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText)
      return res.json()
    })
  } catch (err) {
    unstable_rethrow(err)
    console.error(err)
  }
}
```

The following Next.js APIs rely on throwing an error which should be rethrown and handled by Next.js itself:

* [`notFound()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found.md)
* [`redirect()`](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md#redirect-function)
* [`permanentRedirect()`](/docs/app/guides/redirecting.md#permanentredirect-function)

If a route segment is marked to throw an error unless it's static, a Dynamic API call will also throw an error that should similarly not be caught by the developer. Note that Partial Prerendering (PPR) affects this behavior as well. These APIs are:

* [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)
* [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md)
* [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional)
* `fetch(..., { cache: 'no-store' })`
* `fetch(..., { next: { revalidate: 0 } })`

> **Good to know**:
>
> * This method should be called at the top of the catch block, passing the error object as its only argument. It can also be used within a `.catch` handler of a promise.
> * You may be able to avoid using `unstable_rethrow` if you encapsulate your API calls that throw and let the **caller** handle the exception.
> * Only use `unstable_rethrow` if your caught exceptions may include both application errors and framework-controlled exceptions (like `redirect()` or `notFound()`).
> * Any resource cleanup (like clearing intervals, timers, etc) would have to either happen prior to the call to `unstable_rethrow` or within a `finally` block.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md

# updateTag
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`updateTag` allows you to update [cached data](/docs/app/guides/caching.md) on-demand for a specific cache tag from within [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md).

This function is designed for **read-your-own-writes** scenarios, where a user makes a change (like creating a post), and the UI immediately shows the change, rather than stale data.

## Usage

`updateTag` can **only** be called from within [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md). It cannot be used in Route Handlers, Client Components, or any other context.

If you need to invalidate cache tags in Route Handlers or other contexts, use [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) instead.

> **Good to know**: `updateTag` immediately expires the cached data for the specified tag. The next request will wait to fetch fresh data rather than serving stale content from the cache, ensuring users see their changes immediately.

## Parameters

```tsx
updateTag(tag: string): void;
```

* `tag`: A string representing the cache tag associated with the data you want to update. Must not exceed 256 characters. This value is case-sensitive.

Tags must first be assigned to cached data. You can do this in two ways:

* Using the [`next.tags`](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#fetch-optionsnexttags-and-revalidatetag) option with `fetch` for caching external API requests:

```tsx
fetch(url, { next: { tags: ['posts'] } })
```

* Using [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) inside cached functions or components with the `'use cache'` directive:

```tsx
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('posts')
  // ...
}
```

## Returns

`updateTag` does not return a value.

## Differences from revalidateTag

While both `updateTag` and `revalidateTag` invalidate cached data, they serve different purposes:

* **`updateTag`**:
  * Can only be used in Server Actions
  * Next request waits for fresh data (no stale content served)
  * Designed for read-your-own-writes scenarios

* **`revalidateTag`**:
  * Can be used in Server Actions and Route Handlers
  * With `profile="max"` (recommended): Serves cached data while fetching fresh data in the background (stale-while-revalidate)
  * With custom profile: Can be configured to any cache life profile for advanced usage
  * Without profile: legacy behavior which is equivalent to `updateTag`

## Examples

### Server Action with Read-Your-Own-Writes

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Create the post in your database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: { title, content },
  })

  // Invalidate cache tags so the new post is immediately visible
  // 'posts' tag: affects any page that displays a list of posts
  updateTag('posts')
  // 'post-{id}' tag: affects the individual post detail page
  updateTag(`post-${post.id}`)

  // Redirect to the new post - user will see fresh data, not cached
  redirect(`/posts/${post.id}`)
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Create the post in your database
  const post = await db.post.create({
    data: { title, content },
  })

  // Invalidate cache tags so the new post is immediately visible
  // 'posts' tag: affects any page that displays a list of posts
  updateTag('posts')
  // 'post-{id}' tag: affects the individual post detail page
  updateTag(`post-${post.id}`)

  // Redirect to the new post - user will see fresh data, not cached
  redirect(`/posts/${post.id}`)
}
```

### Error when used outside Server Actions

```ts filename="app/api/posts/route.ts" switcher
import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function POST() {
  // This will throw an error
  updateTag('posts')
  // Error: updateTag can only be called from within a Server Action

  // Use revalidateTag instead in Route Handlers
  revalidateTag('posts', 'max')
}
```

## When to use updateTag

Use `updateTag` when:

* You're in a Server Action
* You need immediate cache invalidation for read-your-own-writes
* You want to ensure the next request sees updated data

Use `revalidateTag` instead when:

* You're in a Route Handler or other non-action context
* You want stale-while-revalidate semantics
* You're building a webhook or API endpoint for cache invalidation

# Updating Data
@doc-version: 16.0.4


You can update data in Next.js using React's [Server Functions](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions). This page will go through how you can [create](#creating-server-functions) and [invoke](#invoking-server-functions) Server Functions.

## What are Server Functions?

A **Server Function** is an asynchronous function that runs on the server. They can be called from the client through a network request, which is why they must be asynchronous.

In an `action` or mutation context, they are also called **Server Actions**.

By convention, a Server Action is an async function used with [`startTransition`](https://react.dev/reference/react/startTransition). This happens automatically when the function is:

* Passed to a `<form>` using the `action` prop.
* Passed to a `<button>` using the `formAction` prop.

In Next.js, Server Actions integrate with the framework's [caching](/docs/app/guides/caching.md) architecture. When an action is invoked, Next.js can return both the updated UI and new data in a single server roundtrip.

Behind the scenes, actions use the `POST` method, and only this HTTP method can invoke them.

## Creating Server Functions

A Server Function can be defined by using the [`use server`](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-server) directive. You can place the directive at the top of an **asynchronous** function to mark the function as a Server Function, or at the top of a separate file to mark all exports of that file.

```ts filename="app/lib/actions.ts" switcher
export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  'use server'
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}

export async function deletePost(formData: FormData) {
  'use server'
  const id = formData.get('id')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/actions.js" switcher
export async function createPost(formData) {
  'use server'
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}

export async function deletePost(formData) {
  'use server'
  const id = formData.get('id')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}
```

### Server Components

Server Functions can be inlined in Server Components by adding the `"use server"` directive to the top of the function body:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default function Page() {
  // Server Action
  async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
    'use server'
    // ...
  }

  return <></>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default function Page() {
  // Server Action
  async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
    'use server'
    // ...
  }

  return <></>
}
```

> **Good to know:** Server Components support progressive enhancement by default, meaning forms that call Server Actions will be submitted even if JavaScript hasn't loaded yet or is disabled.

### Client Components

It's not possible to define Server Functions in Client Components. However, you can invoke them in Client Components by importing them from a file that has the `"use server"` directive at the top of it:

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost() {}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost() {}
```

```tsx filename="app/ui/button.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

export function Button() {
  return <button formAction={createPost}>Create</button>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/button.js" switcher
'use client'

import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

export function Button() {
  return <button formAction={createPost}>Create</button>
}
```

> **Good to know:** In Client Components, forms invoking Server Actions will queue submissions if JavaScript isn't loaded yet, and will be prioritized for hydration. After hydration, the browser does not refresh on form submission.

### Passing actions as props

You can also pass an action to a Client Component as a prop:

```jsx
<ClientComponent updateItemAction={updateItem} />
```

```tsx filename="app/client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

export default function ClientComponent({
  updateItemAction,
}: {
  updateItemAction: (formData: FormData) => void
}) {
  return <form action={updateItemAction}>{/* ... */}</form>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

export default function ClientComponent({ updateItemAction }) {
  return <form action={updateItemAction}>{/* ... */}</form>
}
```

## Invoking Server Functions

There are two main ways you can invoke a Server Function:

1. [Forms](#forms) in Server and Client Components
2. [Event Handlers](#event-handlers) and [useEffect](#useeffect) in Client Components

> **Good to know:** Server Functions are designed for server-side mutations. The client currently dispatches and awaits them one at a time. This is an implementation detail and may change. If you need parallel data fetching, use [data fetching](/docs/app/getting-started/fetching-data.md#server-components) in Server Components, or perform parallel work inside a single Server Function or [Route Handler](/docs/app/guides/backend-for-frontend.md#manipulating-data).

### Forms

React extends the HTML [`<form>`](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/form) element to allow a Server Function to be invoked with the HTML `action` prop.

When invoked in a form, the function automatically receives the [`FormData`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/FormData/FormData) object. You can extract the data using the native [`FormData` methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData#instance_methods):

```tsx filename="app/ui/form.tsx" switcher
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

export function Form() {
  return (
    <form action={createPost}>
      <input type="text" name="title" />
      <input type="text" name="content" />
      <button type="submit">Create</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/form.js" switcher
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'

export function Form() {
  return (
    <form action={createPost}>
      <input type="text" name="title" />
      <input type="text" name="content" />
      <button type="submit">Create</button>
    </form>
  )
}
```

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  const title = formData.get('title')
  const content = formData.get('content')

  // Update data
  // Revalidate cache
}
```

### Event Handlers

You can invoke a Server Function in a Client Component by using event handlers such as `onClick`.

```tsx filename="app/like-button.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { incrementLike } from './actions'
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function LikeButton({ initialLikes }: { initialLikes: number }) {
  const [likes, setLikes] = useState(initialLikes)

  return (
    <>
      <p>Total Likes: {likes}</p>
      <button
        onClick={async () => {
          const updatedLikes = await incrementLike()
          setLikes(updatedLikes)
        }}
      >
        Like
      </button>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/like-button.js" switcher
'use client'

import { incrementLike } from './actions'
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function LikeButton({ initialLikes }) {
  const [likes, setLikes] = useState(initialLikes)

  return (
    <>
      <p>Total Likes: {likes}</p>
      <button
        onClick={async () => {
          const updatedLikes = await incrementLike()
          setLikes(updatedLikes)
        }}
      >
        Like
      </button>
    </>
  )
}
```

## Examples

### Showing a pending state

While executing a Server Function, you can show a loading indicator with React's [`useActionState`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useActionState) hook. This hook returns a `pending` boolean:

```tsx filename="app/ui/button.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState, startTransition } from 'react'
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'
import { LoadingSpinner } from '@/app/ui/loading-spinner'

export function Button() {
  const [state, action, pending] = useActionState(createPost, false)

  return (
    <button onClick={() => startTransition(action)}>
      {pending ? <LoadingSpinner /> : 'Create Post'}
    </button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ui/button.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useActionState, startTransition } from 'react'
import { createPost } from '@/app/actions'
import { LoadingSpinner } from '@/app/ui/loading-spinner'

export function Button() {
  const [state, action, pending] = useActionState(createPost, false)

  return (
    <button onClick={() => startTransition(action)}>
      {pending ? <LoadingSpinner /> : 'Create Post'}
    </button>
  )
}
```

### Refreshing

After a mutation, you may want to refresh the current page to show the latest data. You can do this by calling [`refresh`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh.md) from `next/cache` in a Server Action:

```ts filename="app/lib/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function updatePost(formData: FormData) {
  // Update data
  // ...

  refresh()
}
```

```js filename="app/lib/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function updatePost(formData) {
  // Update data
  // ...

  refresh()
}
```

This refreshes the client router, ensuring the UI reflects the latest state. The `refresh()` function does not revalidate tagged data. To revalidate tagged data, use [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) instead.

### Revalidating

After performing an update, you can revalidate the Next.js cache and show the updated data by calling [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) within the Server Function:

```ts filename="app/lib/actions.ts" switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  'use server'
  // Update data
  // ...

  revalidatePath('/posts')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  'use server'
  // Update data
  // ...
  revalidatePath('/posts')
}
```

### Redirecting

You may want to redirect the user to a different page after performing an update. You can do this by calling [`redirect`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md) within the Server Function.

```ts filename="app/lib/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData: FormData) {
  // Update data
  // ...

  revalidatePath('/posts')
  redirect('/posts')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'

export async function createPost(formData) {
  // Update data
  // ...

  revalidatePath('/posts')
  redirect('/posts')
}
```

Calling `redirect` [throws](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect.md#behavior) a framework handled control-flow exception. Any code after it won't execute. If you need fresh data, call [`revalidatePath`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidatePath.md) or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) beforehand.

### Cookies

You can `get`, `set`, and `delete` cookies inside a Server Action using the [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) API.

When you [set or delete](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md#understanding-cookie-behavior-in-server-actions) a cookie in a Server Action, Next.js re-renders the current page and its layouts on the server so the **UI reflects the new cookie value**.

> **Good to know**: The server update applies to the current React tree, re-rendering, mounting, or unmounting components, as needed. Client state is preserved for re-rendered components, and effects re-run if their dependencies changed.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function exampleAction() {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  // Get cookie
  cookieStore.get('name')?.value

  // Set cookie
  cookieStore.set('name', 'Delba')

  // Delete cookie
  cookieStore.delete('name')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function exampleAction() {
  // Get cookie
  const cookieStore = await cookies()

  // Get cookie
  cookieStore.get('name')?.value

  // Set cookie
  cookieStore.set('name', 'Delba')

  // Delete cookie
  cookieStore.delete('name')
}
```

### useEffect

You can use the React [`useEffect`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useEffect) hook to invoke a Server Action when the component mounts or a dependency changes. This is useful for mutations that depend on global events or need to be triggered automatically. For example, `onKeyDown` for app shortcuts, an intersection observer hook for infinite scrolling, or when the component mounts to update a view count:

```tsx filename="app/view-count.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { incrementViews } from './actions'
import { useState, useEffect, useTransition } from 'react'

export default function ViewCount({ initialViews }: { initialViews: number }) {
  const [views, setViews] = useState(initialViews)
  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()

  useEffect(() => {
    startTransition(async () => {
      const updatedViews = await incrementViews()
      setViews(updatedViews)
    })
  }, [])

  // You can use `isPending` to give users feedback
  return <p>Total Views: {views}</p>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/view-count.js" switcher
'use client'

import { incrementViews } from './actions'
import { useState, useEffect, useTransition } from 'react'

export default function ViewCount({ initialViews }) {
  const [views, setViews] = useState(initialViews)
  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()

  useEffect(() => {
    startTransition(async () => {
      const updatedViews = await incrementViews()
      setViews(updatedViews)
    })
  }, [])

  // You can use `isPending` to give users feedback
  return <p>Total Views: {views}</p>
}
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest
```

If you prefer to upgrade manually, install the latest Next.js and React versions:

```bash package="pnpm"
pnpm i next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@latest
```

```bash package="npm"
npm i next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@latest
```

```bash package="yarn"
yarn add next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@latest
```

```bash package="bun"
bun add next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@latest
```

## Canary version

To update to the latest canary, make sure you're on the latest version of Next.js and everything is working as expected. Then, run the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm i next@canary
```

# urlImports
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

URL imports are an experimental feature that allows you to import modules directly from external servers (instead of from the local disk).

> **Warning**: Only use domains that you trust to download and execute on your machine. Please exercise discretion, and caution until the feature is flagged as stable.

To opt-in, add the allowed URL prefixes inside `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    urlImports: ['https://example.com/assets/', 'https://cdn.skypack.dev'],
  },
}
```

Then, you can import modules directly from URLs:

```js
import { a, b, c } from 'https://example.com/assets/some/module.js'
```

URL Imports can be used everywhere normal package imports can be used.

## Security Model

This feature is being designed with **security as the top priority**. To start, we added an experimental flag forcing you to explicitly allow the domains you accept URL imports from. We're working to take this further by limiting URL imports to execute in the browser sandbox using the [Edge Runtime](/docs/app/api-reference/edge.md).

## Lockfile

When using URL imports, Next.js will create a `next.lock` directory containing a lockfile and fetched assets.
This directory **must be committed to Git**, not ignored by `.gitignore`.

* When running `next dev`, Next.js will download and add all newly discovered URL Imports to your lockfile.
* When running `next build`, Next.js will use only the lockfile to build the application for production.

Typically, no network requests are needed and any outdated lockfile will cause the build to fail.
One exception is resources that respond with `Cache-Control: no-cache`.
These resources will have a `no-cache` entry in the lockfile and will always be fetched from the network on each build.

## Examples

### Skypack

```js
import confetti from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/canvas-confetti'
import { useEffect } from 'react'

export default () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    confetti()
  })
  return <p>Hello</p>
}
```

### Static Image Imports

```js
import Image from 'next/image'
import logo from 'https://example.com/assets/logo.png'

export default () => (
  <div>
    <Image src={logo} placeholder="blur" />
  </div>
)
```

### URLs in CSS

```css
.className {
  background: url('https://example.com/assets/hero.jpg');
}
```

### Asset Imports

```js
const logo = new URL('https://example.com/assets/file.txt', import.meta.url)

console.log(logo.pathname)

// prints "/_next/static/media/file.a9727b5d.txt"
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md

# use cache: private
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `'use cache: private'` directive works just like [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md), but allows you to use runtime APIs like cookies, headers, or search params.

> **Good to know:** Unlike `use cache`, private caches are not prerendered statically as they contain personalized data that is not shared between users.

## Usage

To use `'use cache: private'`, enable the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) flag in your `next.config.ts` file:

```tsx filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```jsx filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

Then add `'use cache: private'` to your function along with a `cacheLife` configuration.

### Basic example

```tsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ProductPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params

  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading recommendations...</div>}>
        <Recommendations productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

async function Recommendations({ productId }: { productId: string }) {
  const recommendations = await getRecommendations(productId)

  return (
    <div>
      {recommendations.map((rec) => (
        <ProductCard key={rec.id} product={rec} />
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

async function getRecommendations(productId: string) {
  'use cache: private'
  cacheTag(`recommendations-${productId}`)
  cacheLife({ stale: 60 }) // Minimum 30 seconds required for runtime prefetch

  // Access cookies within private cache functions
  const sessionId = (await cookies()).get('session-id')?.value || 'guest'

  return getPersonalizedRecommendations(productId, sessionId)
}
```

```jsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.js" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params

  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading recommendations...</div>}>
        <Recommendations productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

async function Recommendations({ productId }) {
  const recommendations = await getRecommendations(productId)

  return (
    <div>
      {recommendations.map((rec) => (
        <ProductCard key={rec.id} product={rec} />
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

async function getRecommendations(productId) {
  'use cache: private'
  cacheTag(`recommendations-${productId}`)
  cacheLife({ stale: 60 }) // Minimum 30 seconds required for runtime prefetch

  // Access cookies within private cache functions
  const sessionId = (await cookies()).get('session-id')?.value || 'guest'

  return getPersonalizedRecommendations(productId, sessionId)
}
```

## Request APIs allowed in private caches

The following request-specific APIs can be used inside `'use cache: private'` functions:

| API            | Allowed in `use cache` | Allowed in `'use cache: private'` |
| -------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `cookies()`    | No                     | Yes                               |
| `headers()`    | No                     | Yes                               |
| `searchParams` | No                     | Yes                               |
| `connection()` | No                     | No                                |

> **Note:** The [`connection()`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection) API is prohibited in both `use cache` and `'use cache: private'` as it provides connection-specific information that cannot be safely cached.

# use cache: remote
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `'use cache: remote'` directive enables caching of **shared data** in dynamic contexts where regular [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) would not work, for example after calling [`await connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md), [`await cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) or [`await headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md).

> **Good to know:**
>
> * Results are stored in server-side cache handlers and shared across all users.
> * For **user-specific data** that depends on [`await cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) or [`await headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md), use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) instead.

## Usage

To use `'use cache: remote'`, enable the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) flag in your `next.config.ts` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

Then add `'use cache: remote'` to your function that needs to cache data in a dynamic context.

### Basic example

Cache product pricing that needs to be fetched at request time but can be shared across all users. Use [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md#custom-cache-profiles) to set the cache lifetime of the price.

```tsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.tsx" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cacheTag, cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ProductPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: Promise<{ id: string }>
}) {
  const { id } = await params

  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading price...</div>}>
        <ProductPrice productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

function ProductDetails({ id }: { id: string }) {
  return <div>Product: {id}</div>
}

async function ProductPrice({ productId }: { productId: string }) {
  // Calling connection() makes this component dynamic, preventing
  // it from being included in the static shell. This ensures the price
  // is always fetched at request time.
  await connection()

  // Now we can cache the price in a remote cache handler.
  // Regular 'use cache' would NOT work here because we're in a dynamic context.
  const price = await getProductPrice(productId)

  return <div>Price: ${price}</div>
}

async function getProductPrice(productId: string) {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheTag(`product-price-${productId}`)
  cacheLife({ expire: 3600 }) // 1 hour

  // This database query is cached and shared across all users
  return db.products.getPrice(productId)
}
```

```jsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.js" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cacheTag, cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params

  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails id={id} />
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading price...</div>}>
        <ProductPrice productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

function ProductDetails({ id }) {
  return <div>Product: {id}</div>
}

async function ProductPrice({ productId }) {
  // Calling connection() makes this component dynamic, preventing
  // it from being included in the static shell. This ensures the price
  // is always fetched at request time.
  await connection()

  // Now we can cache the price in a remote cache handler.
  // Regular 'use cache' would NOT work here because we're in a dynamic context.
  const price = await getProductPrice(productId)

  return <div>Price: ${price}</div>
}

async function getProductPrice(productId) {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheTag(`product-price-${productId}`)
  cacheLife({ expire: 3600 }) // 1 hour

  // This database query is cached and shared across all users
  return db.products.getPrice(productId)
}
```

> **Note:** Regular [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) will not cache anything when used in a dynamic context (after [`await connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md), [`await cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md), [`await headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md), etc.). Use `'use cache: remote'` to enable runtime caching in these scenarios.

## How `use cache: remote` differs from `use cache` and `use cache: private`

Next.js provides three caching directives, each designed for different use cases:

| Feature                          | `use cache`                         | `'use cache: remote'`                                     | `'use cache: private'`              |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Works in dynamic context**     | No (requires static context)        | Yes (designed for dynamic contexts)                       | Yes                                 |
| **Access to `await cookies()`**  | No                                  | No                                                        | Yes                                 |
| **Access to `await headers()`**  | No                                  | No                                                        | Yes                                 |
| **After `await connection()`**   | No (won't cache)                    | No                                                        | No                                  |
| **Stored in cache handler**      | Yes (server-side)                   | Yes (server-side)                                         | No (client-side only)               |
| **Cache scope**                  | Global (shared)                     | Global (shared)                                           | Per-user (isolated)                 |
| **Supports runtime prefetching** | N/A (pre-rendered at build)         | No                                                        | Yes (when configured)               |
| **Use case**                     | Static, shared content (build-time) | Dynamic, shared content in runtime contexts (per-request) | Personalized, user-specific content |

> **Note:** While you can't call `await cookies()` or `await headers()` inside `'use cache: remote'`, you can read the values before calling a function that is wrapped by `'use cache: remote'` and the arguments will be included in the cache key. Note that this is not recommended as it will dramatically increase the cache size and reduce the cache hit rate.

### When to use each directive

Choose the right caching directive based on your use case:

**Use [`use cache`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache.md) when:**

* Content can be prerendered at build time
* Content is shared across all users
* Content doesn't depend on request-specific data

**Use `'use cache: remote'` when:**

* You need caching within dynamic context
* Content is shared across users but must be rendered per-request (after `await connection()`)
* You want to cache expensive operations in a server-side cache handler

**Use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) when:**

* Content is personalized per-user (depends on cookies, headers)
* You need [runtime prefetching](/docs/app/guides/prefetching.md) of user-specific content
* Content should never be shared between users

## How it works

The `'use cache: remote'` directive enables runtime caching of shared data in dynamic contexts by storing results in server-side cache handlers rather than prerendering at build time.

### Dynamic context detection

When Next.js encounters certain APIs like [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md), [`cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md), or [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md), the context becomes "dynamic". In a dynamic context:

1. **Regular `use cache` stops working** - it won't cache anything
2. **`'use cache: remote'` continues to work** - it is cached by a remote cache handler.
3. **Results are stored server-side** in a key-value store configured for your deployment
4. **Cached data is shared across requests** - reducing database load and origin requests

> **Good to know:** Without `'use cache: remote'`, functions in dynamic contexts would execute on every request, potentially creating performance bottlenecks. Remote caching eliminates this issue by storing results in server-side cache handlers.

### Storage behavior

Remote caches are **persisted using server-side cache handlers**, which may include:

* **Distributed key-value stores** (in-memory or persistent storage solutions)
* **File system or in-memory storage** (often used in development or for custom deployments)
* **Environment-specific caches** (provided by your hosting infrastructure)
* **Custom or configured cache handlers** (depending on your application's setup)

This means:

1. Cached data is shared across all users and requests
2. Cache entries persist beyond a single session
3. Cache invalidation works via [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) and [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md)
4. Cache expiration is controlled by [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) configuration

### Dynamic context example

```tsx
async function UserDashboard() {
  // Calling connection() makes the context dynamic
  await connection()

  // Without any caching directive, this runs on every request
  const stats = await getStats()

  // With 'use cache: remote', this is cached in the remote handler
  const analytics = await getAnalytics()

  return (
    <div>
      <Stats data={stats} />
      <Analytics data={analytics} />
    </div>
  )
}

async function getAnalytics() {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheLife({ expire: 300 }) // 5 minutes

  // This expensive operation is cached and shared across all requests
  return fetchAnalyticsData()
}
```

## Request APIs and remote caches

While `'use cache: remote'` technically allows access to request-specific data by calling API's like [`cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md) and [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md) before calling a function that is wrapped by `'use cache: remote'`, it's generally not recommended to use them together:

| API                                                                                   | Allowed in `use cache` | Allowed in `'use cache: remote'` | Recommended                                                                                |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [`cookies()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)                              | No                     | No                               | Use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) instead |
| [`headers()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md)                              | No                     | No                               | Use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) instead |
| [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md)                        | No                     | No                               | No - these cannot ever be cached                                                           |
| [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) | No                     | No                               | Use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) instead |

> **Important:** If you need to cache based on cookies, headers, or search params, use [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md) instead. Remote caches are shared across all users, so caching user-specific data in them can lead to incorrect results being served to different users.

## Nesting rules

Remote caches have specific nesting rules:

* Remote caches **can** be nested inside other remote caches (`'use cache: remote'`)
* Remote caches **can** be nested inside regular caches (`'use cache'`)
* Remote caches **cannot** be nested inside private caches (`'use cache: private'`)
* Private caches **cannot** be nested inside remote caches

```tsx
// VALID: Remote inside remote
async function outerRemote() {
  'use cache: remote'
  const result = await innerRemote()
  return result
}

async function innerRemote() {
  'use cache: remote'
  return getData()
}

// VALID: Remote inside regular cache
async function outerCache() {
  'use cache'
  // If this is in a dynamic context, the inner remote cache will work
  const result = await innerRemote()
  return result
}

async function innerRemote() {
  'use cache: remote'
  return getData()
}

// INVALID: Remote inside private
async function outerPrivate() {
  'use cache: private'
  const result = await innerRemote() // Error!
  return result
}

async function innerRemote() {
  'use cache: remote'
  return getData()
}

// INVALID: Private inside remote
async function outerRemote() {
  'use cache: remote'
  const result = await innerPrivate() // Error!
  return result
}

async function innerPrivate() {
  'use cache: private'
  return getData()
}
```

## Examples

The following examples demonstrate common patterns for using `'use cache: remote'`. For details about `cacheLife` parameters (`stale`, `revalidate`, `expire`), see the [`cacheLife` API reference](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md).

### Per-request database queries

Cache expensive database queries that are accessed in dynamic contexts, reducing load on your database:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx"
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  // Make context dynamic
  await connection()

  const stats = await getGlobalStats()

  return <StatsDisplay stats={stats} />
}

async function getGlobalStats() {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheTag('global-stats')
  cacheLife({ expire: 60 }) // 1 minute

  // This expensive database query is cached and shared across all users,
  // reducing load on your database
  const stats = await db.analytics.aggregate({
    total_users: 'count',
    active_sessions: 'count',
    revenue: 'sum',
  })

  return stats
}
```

### API responses in streaming contexts

Cache API responses that are fetched during streaming or after dynamic operations:

```tsx filename="app/feed/page.tsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

export default async function FeedPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
        <FeedItems />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

async function FeedItems() {
  // Dynamic context
  await connection()

  const items = await getFeedItems()

  return items.map((item) => <FeedItem key={item.id} item={item} />)
}

async function getFeedItems() {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheTag('feed-items')
  cacheLife({ expire: 120 }) // 2 minutes

  // This API call is cached, reducing requests to your external service
  const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/feed')
  return response.json()
}
```

### Computed data after dynamic checks

Cache expensive computations that occur after dynamic security or feature checks:

```tsx filename="app/reports/page.tsx"
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

export default async function ReportsPage() {
  // Dynamic security check
  await connection()

  const report = await generateReport()

  return <ReportViewer report={report} />
}

async function generateReport() {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheLife({ expire: 3600 }) // 1 hour

  // This expensive computation is cached and shared across all authorized users,
  // avoiding repeated calculations
  const data = await db.transactions.findMany()

  return {
    totalRevenue: calculateRevenue(data),
    topProducts: analyzeProducts(data),
    trends: calculateTrends(data),
  }
}
```

### Mixed caching strategies

Combine static, remote, and private caching for optimal performance:

```tsx filename="app/product/[id]/page.tsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

// Static product data - prerendered at build time
async function getProduct(id: string) {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag(`product-${id}`)

  // This is cached at build time and shared across all users
  return db.products.find({ where: { id } })
}

// Shared pricing data - cached at runtime in remote handler
async function getProductPrice(id: string) {
  'use cache: remote'
  cacheTag(`product-price-${id}`)
  cacheLife({ expire: 300 }) // 5 minutes

  // This is cached at runtime and shared across all users
  return db.products.getPrice({ where: { id } })
}

// User-specific recommendations - private cache per user
async function getRecommendations(productId: string) {
  'use cache: private'
  cacheLife({ expire: 60 }) // 1 minute

  const sessionId = (await cookies()).get('session-id')?.value

  // This is cached per-user and never shared
  return db.recommendations.findMany({
    where: { productId, sessionId },
  })
}

export default async function ProductPage({ params }) {
  const { id } = await params

  // Static product data
  const product = await getProduct(id)

  return (
    <div>
      <ProductDetails product={product} />

      {/* Dynamic shared price */}
      <Suspense fallback={<PriceSkeleton />}>
        <ProductPriceComponent productId={id} />
      </Suspense>

      {/* Dynamic personalized recommendations */}
      <Suspense fallback={<RecommendationsSkeleton />}>
        <ProductRecommendations productId={id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

function ProductDetails({ product }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <p>{product.description}</p>
    </div>
  )
}

async function ProductPriceComponent({ productId }) {
  // Make this component dynamic
  await connection()

  const price = await getProductPrice(productId)
  return <div>Price: ${price}</div>
}

async function ProductRecommendations({ productId }) {
  const recommendations = await getRecommendations(productId)
  return <RecommendationsList items={recommendations} />
}

function PriceSkeleton() {
  return <div>Loading price...</div>
}

function RecommendationsSkeleton() {
  return <div>Loading recommendations...</div>
}

function RecommendationsList({ items }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {items.map((item) => (
        <li key={item.id}>{item.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

# use cache
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `use cache` directive allows you to mark a route, React component, or a function as cacheable. It can be used at the top of a file to indicate that all exports in the file should be cached, or inline at the top of function or component to cache the return value.

> **Good to know:**
>
> * To use cookies or headers, read them outside cached scopes and pass values as arguments. This is the preferred pattern.
> * If the in-memory cache isn't sufficient for runtime data, [`'use cache: remote'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-remote.md) allows platforms to provide a dedicated cache handler, though it requires a network roundtrip to check the cache and typically incurs platform fees.
> * For compliance requirements or when you can't refactor to pass runtime data as arguments to a `use cache` scope, see [`'use cache: private'`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md).

## Usage

`use cache` is a Cache Components feature. To enable it, add the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) option to your `next.config.ts` file:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Then, add `use cache` at the file, component, or function level:

```tsx
// File level
'use cache'

export default async function Page() {
  // ...
}

// Component level
export async function MyComponent() {
  'use cache'
  return <></>
}

// Function level
export async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  const data = await fetch('/api/data')
  return data
}
```

> **Good to know**: When used at file level, all function exports must be async functions.

## How `use cache` works

### Cache keys

A cache entry's key is generated using a serialized version of its inputs, which includes:

1. **Build ID** - Unique per build, changing this invalidates all cache entries
2. **Function ID** - A secure hash of the function's location and signature in the codebase
3. **Serializable arguments** - Props (for components) or function arguments
4. **HMR refresh hash** (development only) - Invalidates cache on hot module replacement

When a cached function references variables from outer scopes, those variables are automatically captured and bound as arguments, making them part of the cache key.

```tsx filename="lib/data.ts"
async function Component({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const getData = async (filter: string) => {
    'use cache'
    // Cache key includes both userId (from closure) and filter (argument)
    return fetch(`/api/users/${userId}/data?filter=${filter}`)
  }

  return getData('active')
}
```

In the snippet above, `userId` is captured from the outer scope and `filter` is passed as an argument, so both become part of the `getData` function's cache key. This means different user and filter combinations will have separate cache entries.

## Serialization

Arguments to cached functions and their return values must be serializable.

For a complete reference, see:

* [Serializable arguments](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-server#serializable-parameters-and-return-values) - Uses **React Server Components** serialization
* [Serializable return types](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client#serializable-types) - Uses **React Client Components** serialization

> **Good to know:** Arguments and return values use different serialization systems. Server Component serialization (for arguments) is more restrictive than Client Component serialization (for return values). This means you can return JSX elements but cannot accept them as arguments unless using pass-through patterns.

### Supported types

**Arguments:**

* Primitives: `string`, `number`, `boolean`, `null`, `undefined`
* Plain objects: `{ key: value }`
* Arrays: `[1, 2, 3]`
* Dates, Maps, Sets, TypedArrays, ArrayBuffers
* React elements (as pass-through only)

**Return values:**

* Same as arguments, plus JSX elements

### Unsupported types

* Class instances
* Functions (except as pass-through)
* Symbols, WeakMaps, WeakSets
* URL instances

```tsx filename="app/components/user-card.tsx"
// Valid - primitives and plain objects
async function UserCard({
  id,
  config,
}: {
  id: string
  config: { theme: string }
}) {
  'use cache'
  return <div>{id}</div>
}

// Invalid - class instance
async function UserProfile({ user }: { user: UserClass }) {
  'use cache'
  // Error: Cannot serialize class instance
  return <div>{user.name}</div>
}
```

### Pass-through (non-serializable arguments)

You can accept non-serializable values **as long as you don't introspect them**. This enables composition patterns with `children` and Server Actions:

```tsx filename="app/components/cached-wrapper.tsx"
async function CachedWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  'use cache'
  // Don't read or modify children - just pass it through
  return (
    <div className="wrapper">
      <header>Cached Header</header>
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}

// Usage: children can be dynamic
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <CachedWrapper>
      <DynamicComponent /> {/* Not cached, passed through */}
    </CachedWrapper>
  )
}
```

You can also pass Server Actions through cached components:

```tsx filename="app/components/cached-form.tsx"
async function CachedForm({ action }: { action: () => Promise<void> }) {
  'use cache'
  // Don't call action here - just pass it through
  return <form action={action}>{/* ... */}</form>
}
```

## Constraints

Cached functions and components **cannot** directly access runtime APIs like `cookies()`, `headers()`, or `searchParams`. Instead, read these values outside the cached scope and pass them as arguments.

### Runtime caching considerations

While `use cache` is designed primarily to include dynamic data in the static shell, it can also cache data at runtime using in-memory LRU (Least Recently Used) storage.

Runtime cache behavior depends on your hosting environment:

| Environment     | Runtime Caching Behavior                                                                                                                                          |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Serverless**  | Cache entries typically don't persist across requests (each request can be a different instance). Build-time caching works normally.                              |
| **Self-hosted** | Cache entries persist across requests. Control cache size with [`cacheMaxMemorySize`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/incrementalCacheHandlerPath.md). |

If the default in-memory cache isn't enough, consider **[`use cache: remote`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-remote.md)** which allows platforms to provide a dedicated cache handler (like Redis or KV database). This helps reduce hits against data sources not scaled to your total traffic, though it comes with costs (storage, network latency, platform fees).

Very rarely, for compliance requirements or when you can't refactor your code to pass runtime data as arguments to a `use cache` scope, you might need [`use cache: private`](/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache-private.md).

## `use cache` at runtime

On the **server**, cache entries are stored in-memory and respect the `revalidate` and `expire` times from your `cacheLife` configuration. You can customize the cache storage by configuring [`cacheHandlers`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheHandlers.md) in your `next.config.js` file.

On the **client**, content from the server cache is stored in the browser's memory for the duration defined by the `stale` time. The client router enforces a **minimum 30-second stale time**, regardless of configuration.

The `x-nextjs-stale-time` response header communicates cache lifetime from server to client, ensuring coordinated behavior.

## Revalidation

By default, `use cache` uses the `default` profile with these settings:

* **stale**: 5 minutes (client-side)
* **revalidate**: 15 minutes (server-side)
* **expire**: Never expires by time

```tsx filename="lib/data.ts"
async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  // Implicitly uses default profile
  return fetch('/api/data')
}
```

### Customizing cache lifetime

Use the [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) function to customize cache duration:

```tsx filename="lib/data.ts"
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'

async function getData() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours') // Use built-in 'hours' profile
  return fetch('/api/data')
}
```

### On-demand revalidation

Use [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md), [`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md), or [`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) for on-demand cache invalidation:

```tsx filename="lib/data.ts"
import { cacheTag } from 'next/cache'

async function getProducts() {
  'use cache'
  cacheTag('products')
  return fetch('/api/products')
}
```

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts"
'use server'

import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateProduct() {
  await db.products.update(...)
  updateTag('products') // Invalidates all 'products' caches
}
```

Both `cacheLife` and `cacheTag` integrate across client and server caching layers, meaning you configure your caching semantics in one place and they apply everywhere.

## Examples

### Caching an entire route with `use cache`

To pre-render an entire route, add `use cache` to the top of **both** the `layout` and `page` files. Each of these segments are treated as separate entry points in your application, and will be cached independently.

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
'use cache'

export default async function Layout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
'use cache'

export default async function Layout({ children }) {
  return <div>{children}</div>
}
```

Any components imported and nested in `page` file are part of the cache output associated with the `page`.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
'use cache'

async function Users() {
  const users = await fetch('/api/users')
  // loop through users
}

export default async function Page() {
  return (
    <main>
      <Users />
    </main>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
'use cache'

async function Users() {
  const users = await fetch('/api/users')
  // loop through users
}

export default async function Page() {
  return (
    <main>
      <Users />
    </main>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * If `use cache` is added only to the `layout` or the `page`, only that route segment and any components imported into it will be cached.

### Caching a component's output with `use cache`

You can use `use cache` at the component level to cache any fetches or computations performed within that component. The cache entry will be reused as long as the serialized props produce the same value in each instance.

```tsx filename="app/components/bookings.tsx" highlight={2} switcher
export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }: BookingsProps) {
  'use cache'
  async function getBookingsData() {
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    return data
  }
  return //...
}

interface BookingsProps {
  type: string
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/bookings.js" highlight={2} switcher
export async function Bookings({ type = 'haircut' }) {
  'use cache'
  async function getBookingsData() {
    const data = await fetch(`/api/bookings?type=${encodeURIComponent(type)}`)
    return data
  }
  return //...
}
```

### Caching function output with `use cache`

Since you can add `use cache` to any asynchronous function, you aren't limited to caching components or routes only. You might want to cache a network request, a database query, or a slow computation.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={2} switcher
export async function getData() {
  'use cache'

  const data = await fetch('/api/data')
  return data
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" highlight={2} switcher
export async function getData() {
  'use cache'

  const data = await fetch('/api/data')
  return data
}
```

### Interleaving

In React, composition with `children` or slots is a well-known pattern for building flexible components. When using `use cache`, you can continue to compose your UI in this way. Anything included as `children`, or other compositional slots, in the returned JSX will be passed through the cached component without affecting its cache entry.

As long as you don't directly reference any of the JSX slots inside the body of the cacheable function itself, their presence in the returned output won't affect the cache entry.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const uncachedData = await getData()
  return (
    // Pass compositional slots as props, e.g. header and children
    <CacheComponent header={<h1>Home</h1>}>
      {/* DynamicComponent is provided as the children slot */}
      <DynamicComponent data={uncachedData} />
    </CacheComponent>
  )
}

async function CacheComponent({
  header, // header: a compositional slot, injected as a prop
  children, // children: another slot for nested composition
}: {
  header: ReactNode
  children: ReactNode
}) {
  'use cache'
  const cachedData = await fetch('/api/cached-data')
  return (
    <div>
      {header}
      <PrerenderedComponent data={cachedData} />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
export default async function Page() {
  const uncachedData = await getData()
  return (
    // Pass compositional slots as props, e.g. header and children
    <CacheComponent header={<h1>Home</h1>}>
      {/* DynamicComponent is provided as the children slot */}
      <DynamicComponent data={uncachedData} />
    </CacheComponent>
  )
}

async function CacheComponent({
  header, // header: a compositional slot, injected as a prop
  children, // children: another slot for nested composition
}) {
  'use cache'
  const cachedData = await fetch('/api/cached-data')
  return (
    <div>
      {header}
      <PrerenderedComponent data={cachedData} />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

You can also pass Server Actions through cached components to Client Components without invoking them inside the cacheable function.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import ClientComponent from './ClientComponent'

export default async function Page() {
  const performUpdate = async () => {
    'use server'
    // Perform some server-side update
    await db.update(...)
  }

  return <CachedComponent performUpdate={performUpdate} />
}

async function CachedComponent({
  performUpdate,
}: {
  performUpdate: () => Promise<void>
}) {
  'use cache'
  // Do not call performUpdate here
  return <ClientComponent action={performUpdate} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import ClientComponent from './ClientComponent'

export default async function Page() {
  const performUpdate = async () => {
    'use server'
    // Perform some server-side update
    await db.update(...)
  }

  return <CachedComponent performUpdate={performUpdate} />
}

async function CachedComponent({ performUpdate }) {
  'use cache'
  // Do not call performUpdate here
  return <ClientComponent action={performUpdate} />
}
```

```tsx filename="app/ClientComponent.tsx" switcher
'use client'

export default function ClientComponent({
  action,
}: {
  action: () => Promise<void>
}) {
  return <button onClick={action}>Update</button>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/ClientComponent.js" switcher
'use client'

export default function ClientComponent({ action }) {
  return <button onClick={action}>Update</button>
}
```

## Troubleshooting

### Build Hangs (Cache Timeout)

If your build hangs, you're accessing Promises that resolve to dynamic or runtime data, created outside a `use cache` boundary. The cached function waits for data that can't resolve during the build, causing a timeout after 50 seconds.

When the build timeouts you'll see this error message:

> Error: Filling a cache during prerender timed out, likely because request-specific arguments such as params, searchParams, cookies() or dynamic data were used inside "use cache".

Common ways this happens: passing such Promises as props, accessing them via closure, or retrieving them from shared storage (Maps).

> **Good to know:** Directly calling `cookies()` or `headers()` inside `use cache` fails immediately with a [different error](/docs/messages/next-request-in-use-cache.md), not a timeout.

**Passing runtime data Promises as props:**

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { Suspense } from 'react'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
      <Dynamic />
    </Suspense>
  )
}

async function Dynamic() {
  const cookieStore = cookies()
  return <Cached promise={cookieStore} /> // Build hangs
}

async function Cached({ promise }: { promise: Promise<unknown> }) {
  'use cache'
  const data = await promise // Waits for runtime data during build
  return <p>..</p>
}
```

Await the `cookies` store in the `Dynamic` component, and pass a cookie value to the `Cached` component.

**Shared deduplication storage:**

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
// Problem: Map stores dynamic Promises, accessed by cached code
import { Suspense } from 'react'

const cache = new Map<string, Promise<string>>()

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
        <Dynamic id="data" />
      </Suspense>
      <Cached id="data" />
    </>
  )
}

async function Dynamic({ id }: { id: string }) {
  // Stores dynamic Promise in shared Map
  cache.set(
    id,
    fetch(`https://api.example.com/${id}`).then((r) => r.text())
  )
  return <p>Dynamic</p>
}

async function Cached({ id }: { id: string }) {
  'use cache'
  return <p>{await cache.get(id)}</p> // Build hangs - retrieves dynamic Promise
}
```

Use Next.js's built-in `fetch()` deduplication or use separate Maps for cached and uncached contexts.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-client.md

# use client
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `'use client'` directive declares an entry point for the components to be rendered on the **client side** and should be used when creating interactive user interfaces (UI) that require client-side JavaScript capabilities, such as state management, event handling, and access to browser APIs. This is a React feature.

> **Good to know:**
>
> You do not need to add the `'use client'` directive to every file that contains Client Components. You only need to add it to the files whose components you want to render directly within Server Components. The `'use client'` directive defines the client-server [boundary](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering#network-boundary), and the components exported from such a file serve as entry points to the client.

## Usage

To declare an entry point for the Client Components, add the `'use client'` directive **at the top of the file**, before any imports:

```tsx filename="app/components/counter.tsx" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/counter.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use client'

import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0)

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

When using the `'use client'` directive, the props of the Client Components must be [serializable](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client#serializable-types). This means the props need to be in a format that React can serialize when sending data from the server to the client.

```tsx filename="app/components/counter.tsx" highlight={4} switcher
'use client'

export default function Counter({
  onClick /* ❌ Function is not serializable */,
}) {
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={onClick}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/counter.js" highlight={4} switcher
'use client'

export default function Counter({
  onClick /* ❌ Function is not serializable */,
}) {
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={onClick}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Nesting Client Components within Server Components

Combining Server and Client Components allows you to build applications that are both performant and interactive:

1. **Server Components**: Use for static content, data fetching, and SEO-friendly elements.
2. **Client Components**: Use for interactive elements that require state, effects, or browser APIs.
3. **Component composition**: Nest Client Components within Server Components as needed for a clear separation of server and client logic.

In the following example:

* `Header` is a Server Component handling static content.
* `Counter` is a Client Component enabling interactivity within the page.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" highlight={2,8} switcher
import Header from './header'
import Counter from './counter' // This is a Client Component

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Header />
      <Counter />
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" highlight={2,8} switcher
import Header from './header'
import Counter from './counter' // This is a Client Component

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Header />
      <Counter />
    </div>
  )
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-link-status.md

# useLinkStatus
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `useLinkStatus` hook lets you track the **pending** state of a `<Link>`. Use it for subtle, inline feedback, for example a shimmer effect over the clicked link, while navigation completes. Prefer route-level fallbacks with `loading.js`, and prefetching for instant transitions.

`useLinkStatus` is useful when:

* [Prefetching](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) is disabled or in progress meaning navigation is blocked.
* The destination route is dynamic **and** doesn't include a [`loading.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) file that would allow an instant navigation.

```tsx filename="app/hint.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

function Hint() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}

export default function Header() {
  return (
    <header>
      <Link href="/dashboard" prefetch={false}>
        <span className="label">Dashboard</span> <Hint />
      </Link>
    </header>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/hint.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

function Hint() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}

export default function Header() {
  return (
    <header>
      <Link href="/dashboard" prefetch={false}>
        <span className="label">Dashboard</span> <Hint />
      </Link>
    </header>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `useLinkStatus` must be used within a descendant component of a `Link` component
> * The hook is most useful when `prefetch={false}` is set on the `Link` component
> * If the linked route has been prefetched, the pending state will be skipped
> * When clicking multiple links in quick succession, only the last link's pending state is shown
> * This hook is not supported in the Pages Router and always returns `{ pending: false }`
> * Inline indicators can easily introduce layout shifts. Prefer a fixed-size, always-rendered hint element and toggle its opacity, or use an animation.

## You might not need `useLinkStatus`

Before adding inline feedback, consider if:

* The destination is static and prefetched in production, so the pending phase may be skipped.
* The route has a `loading.js` file, enabling instant transitions with a route-level fallback.

Navigation is typically fast. Use `useLinkStatus` as a quick patch when you identify a slow transition, then iterate to fix the root cause with prefetching or a `loading.js` fallback.

## Parameters

```tsx
const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
```

`useLinkStatus` does not take any parameters.

## Returns

`useLinkStatus` returns an object with a single property:

| Property | Type    | Description                                  |
| -------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| pending  | boolean | `true` before history updates, `false` after |

## Example

### Inline link hint

Add a subtle, fixed-size hint that doesn’t affect layout to confirm a click when prefetching hasn’t completed.

```tsx filename="app/components/loading-indicator.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

export default function LoadingIndicator() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/loading-indicator.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useLinkStatus } from 'next/link'

export default function LoadingIndicator() {
  const { pending } = useLinkStatus()
  return (
    <span aria-hidden className={`link-hint ${pending ? 'is-pending' : ''}`} />
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/shop/layout.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'
import LoadingIndicator from './components/loading-indicator'

const links = [
  { href: '/shop/electronics', label: 'Electronics' },
  { href: '/shop/clothing', label: 'Clothing' },
  { href: '/shop/books', label: 'Books' },
]

function Menubar() {
  return (
    <div>
      {links.map((link) => (
        <Link key={link.label} href={link.href}>
          <span className="label">{link.label}</span> <LoadingIndicator />
        </Link>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <Menubar />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/shop/layout.js" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'
import LoadingIndicator from './components/loading-indicator'

const links = [
  { href: '/shop/electronics', label: 'Electronics' },
  { href: '/shop/clothing', label: 'Clothing' },
  { href: '/shop/books', label: 'Books' },
]

function Menubar() {
  return (
    <div>
      {links.map((link) => (
        <Link key={link.label} href={link.href}>
          <span className="label">{link.label}</span> <LoadingIndicator />
        </Link>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <Menubar />
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Gracefully handling fast navigation

If the navigation to a new route is fast, users may see an unnecessary flash of the hint. One way to improve the user experience and only show the hint when the navigation takes time to complete is to add an initial animation delay (e.g. 100ms) and start the animation as invisible (e.g. `opacity: 0`).

```css filename="app/styles/global.css"
.link-hint {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 0.6em;
  height: 0.6em;
  margin-left: 0.25rem;
  border-radius: 9999px;
  background: currentColor;
  opacity: 0;
  visibility: hidden; /* reserve space without showing the hint */
}

.link-hint.is-pending {
  /* Animation 1: fade in after 100ms and keep final opacity */
  /* Animation 2: subtle pulsing while pending */
  visibility: visible;
  animation-name: fadeIn, pulse;
  animation-duration: 200ms, 1s;
  /* Appear only if navigation actually takes time */
  animation-delay: 100ms, 100ms;
  animation-timing-function: ease, ease-in-out;
  animation-iteration-count: 1, infinite;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards, none;
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
  to {
    opacity: 0.35;
  }
}
@keyframes pulse {
  50% {
    opacity: 0.15;
  }
}
```

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-params.md

# useParams
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`useParams` is a **Client Component** hook that lets you read a route's [dynamic params](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md) filled in by the current URL.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const params = useParams<{ tag: string; item: string }>()

  // Route -> /shop/[tag]/[item]
  // URL -> /shop/shoes/nike-air-max-97
  // `params` -> { tag: 'shoes', item: 'nike-air-max-97' }
  console.log(params)

  return '...'
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const params = useParams()

  // Route -> /shop/[tag]/[item]
  // URL -> /shop/shoes/nike-air-max-97
  // `params` -> { tag: 'shoes', item: 'nike-air-max-97' }
  console.log(params)

  return '...'
}
```

## Parameters

```tsx
const params = useParams()
```

`useParams` does not take any parameters.

## Returns

`useParams` returns an object containing the current route's filled in [dynamic parameters](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md).

* Each property in the object is an active dynamic segment.
* The properties name is the segment's name, and the properties value is what the segment is filled in with.
* The properties value will either be a `string` or array of `string`'s depending on the [type of dynamic segment](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/dynamic-routes.md).
* If the route contains no dynamic parameters, `useParams` returns an empty object.
* If used in Pages Router, `useParams` will return `null` on the initial render and updates with properties following the rules above once the router is ready.

For example:

| Route                           | URL         | `useParams()`             |
| ------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------- |
| `app/shop/page.js`              | `/shop`     | `{}`                      |
| `app/shop/[slug]/page.js`       | `/shop/1`   | `{ slug: '1' }`           |
| `app/shop/[tag]/[item]/page.js` | `/shop/1/2` | `{ tag: '1', item: '2' }` |
| `app/shop/[...slug]/page.js`    | `/shop/1/2` | `{ slug: ['1', '2'] }`    |

## Version History

| Version   | Changes                 |
| --------- | ----------------------- |
| `v13.3.0` | `useParams` introduced. |

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md

# usePathname
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`usePathname` is a **Client Component** hook that lets you read the current URL's **pathname**.

> **Good to know**: When [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) is enabled `usePathname` may require a `Suspense` boundary around it if your route has a dynamic param. If you use `generateStaticParams` the `Suspense` boundary is optional

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  return <p>Current pathname: {pathname}</p>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  return <p>Current pathname: {pathname}</p>
}
```

`usePathname` intentionally requires using a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md). It's important to note Client Components are not a de-optimization. They are an integral part of the [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) architecture.

For example, a Client Component with `usePathname` will be rendered into HTML on the initial page load. When navigating to a new route, this component does not need to be re-fetched. Instead, the component is downloaded once (in the client JavaScript bundle), and re-renders based on the current state.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Reading the current URL from a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) is not supported. This design is intentional to support layout state being preserved across page navigations.
> * If your page is being statically pre-rendered and your app has [rewrites](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/rewrites.md) in `next.config` or a [Proxy](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/proxy.md) file, reading the pathname with `usePathname()` can result in hydration mismatch errors—because the initial value comes from the server and may not match the actual browser pathname after routing. See our [example](#avoid-hydration-mismatch-with-rewrites) for a way to mitigate this issue.

<details>
<summary>Compatibility with Pages Router</summary>

If you have components that use `usePathname` and they are imported into routes within the Pages Router, be aware that `usePathname` may return `null` if the router is not yet initialized. This can occur in cases such as [fallback routes](/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-static-paths.md#fallback-true) or during [Automatic Static Optimization](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/static#automatic-static-optimization) in the Pages Router.

To enhance compatibility between routing systems, if your project contains both an `app` and a `pages` directory, Next.js will automatically adjust the return type of `usePathname`.

</details>

## Parameters

```tsx
const pathname = usePathname()
```

`usePathname` does not take any parameters.

## Returns

`usePathname` returns a string of the current URL's pathname. For example:

| URL                 | Returned value        |
| ------------------- | --------------------- |
| `/`                 | `'/'`                 |
| `/dashboard`        | `'/dashboard'`        |
| `/dashboard?v=2`    | `'/dashboard'`        |
| `/blog/hello-world` | `'/blog/hello-world'` |

## Examples

### Do something in response to a route change

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { usePathname, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()
  useEffect(() => {
    // Do something here...
  }, [pathname, searchParams])
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { usePathname, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()
  useEffect(() => {
    // Do something here...
  }, [pathname, searchParams])
}
```

### Avoid hydration mismatch with rewrites

When a page is pre-rendered, the HTML is generated for the source pathname. If the page is then reached through a rewrite using `next.config` or `Proxy`, the browser URL may differ, and `usePathname()` will read the rewritten pathname on the client.

To avoid hydration mismatches, design the UI so that only a small, isolated part depends on the client pathname. Render a stable fallback on the server and update that part after mount.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { usePathname } from 'next/navigation'

export default function PathnameBadge() {

## useReportWebVitals
@doc-version: 16.0.4

The `useReportWebVitals` hook allows you to report [Core Web Vitals](https://web.dev/vitals/), and can be used in combination with your analytics service.

New functions passed to `useReportWebVitals` are called with the available metrics up to that point. To prevent reporting duplicated data, ensure that the callback function reference does not change (as shown in the code examples below).

```jsx filename="app/_components/web-vitals.js">
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

const logWebVitals = (metric) => {
  console.log(metric)
}

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals(logWebVitals)

  return null
}
```

```jsx filename="app/layout.js"
import { WebVitals } from './_components/web-vitals'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <WebVitals />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> Since the `useReportWebVitals` hook requires the `'use client'` directive, the most performant approach is to create a separate component that the root layout imports. This confines the client boundary exclusively to the `WebVitals` component.

## useReportWebVitals

The `metric` object passed as the hook's argument consists of a number of properties:

* `id`: Unique identifier for the metric in the context of the current page load
* `name`: The name of the performance metric. Possible values include names of [Web Vitals](#web-vitals) metrics (TTFB, FCP, LCP, FID, CLS) specific to a web application.
* `delta`: The difference between the current value and the previous value of the metric. The value is typically in milliseconds and represents the change in the metric's value over time.
* `entries`: An array of [Performance Entries](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/PerformanceEntry) associated with the metric. These entries provide detailed information about the performance events related to the metric.
* `navigationType`: Indicates the [type of navigation](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/PerformanceNavigationTiming/type) that triggered the metric collection. Possible values include `"navigate"`, `"reload"`, `"back_forward"`, and `"prerender"`.
* `rating`: A qualitative rating of the metric value, providing an assessment of the performance. Possible values are `"good"`, `"needs-improvement"`, and `"poor"`. The rating is typically determined by comparing the metric value against predefined thresholds that indicate acceptable or suboptimal performance.
* `value`: The actual value or duration of the performance entry, typically in milliseconds. The value provides a quantitative measure of the performance aspect being tracked by the metric. The source of the value depends on the specific metric being measured and can come from various [Performance API](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Performance_API)s.

## Web Vitals

[Web Vitals](https://web.dev/vitals/) are a set of useful metrics that aim to capture the user experience of a web page. The following web vitals are all included:

* [Time to First Byte](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/Time_to_first_byte) (TTFB)
* [First Contentful Paint](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Glossary/First_contentful_paint) (FCP)
* [Largest Contentful Paint](https://web.dev/lcp/) (LCP)
* [First Input Delay](https://web.dev/fid/) (FID)
* [Cumulative Layout Shift](https://web.dev/cls/) (CLS)
* [Interaction to Next Paint](https://web.dev/inp/) (INP)

You can handle all the results of these metrics using the `name` property.

```tsx filename="app/components/web-vitals.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

type ReportWebVitalsCallback = Parameters<typeof useReportWebVitals>[0]

const handleWebVitals: ReportWebVitalsCallback = (metric) => {
  switch (metric.name) {
    case 'FCP': {
      // handle FCP results
    }
    case 'LCP': {
      // handle LCP results
    }
    // ...
  }
}

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals(handleWebVitals)
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/web-vitals.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useReportWebVitals } from 'next/web-vitals'

const handleWebVitals = (metric) => {
  switch (metric.name) {
    case 'FCP': {
      // handle FCP results
    }
    case 'LCP': {
      // handle LCP results
    }
    // ...
  }
}

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals(handleWebVitals)
}
```

## Sending results to external systems

You can send results to any endpoint to measure and track real user performance on your site. For example:

```js
function postWebVitals(metrics) {
  const body = JSON.stringify(metric)
  const url = 'https://example.com/analytics'

  // Use `navigator.sendBeacon()` if available, falling back to `fetch()`.
  if (navigator.sendBeacon) {
    navigator.sendBeacon(url, body)
  } else {
    fetch(url, { body, method: 'POST', keepalive: true })
  }
}

useReportWebVitals(postWebVitals)
```

> **Good to know**: If you use [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/), using the `id` value can allow you to construct metric distributions manually (to calculate percentiles, etc.)

> ```js
> useReportWebVitals(metric => {
>   // Use `window.gtag` if you initialized Google Analytics as this example:
>   // https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/examples/with-google-analytics
>   window.gtag('event', metric.name, {
>     value: Math.round(metric.name === 'CLS' ? metric.value * 1000 : metric.value), // values must be integers
>     event_label: metric.id, // id unique to current page load
>     non_interaction: true, // avoids affecting bounce rate.
>   });
> }
> ```
>

# useRouter
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `useRouter` hook allows you to programmatically change routes inside [Client Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md).

> **Recommendation:** Use the [`<Link>` component](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) for navigation unless you have a specific requirement for using `useRouter`.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard')}>
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard')}>
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

## `useRouter()`

* `router.push(href: string, { scroll: boolean })`: Perform a client-side navigation to the provided route. Adds a new entry into the [browser's history stack](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/History_API).
* `router.replace(href: string, { scroll: boolean })`: Perform a client-side navigation to the provided route without adding a new entry into the browser’s history stack.
* `router.refresh()`: Refresh the current route. Making a new request to the server, re-fetching data requests, and re-rendering Server Components. The client will merge the updated React Server Component payload without losing unaffected client-side React (e.g. `useState`) or browser state (e.g. scroll position).
* `router.prefetch(href: string, options?: { onInvalidate?: () => void })`: [Prefetch](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#prefetching) the provided route for faster client-side transitions. The optional `onInvalidate` callback is called when the [prefetched data becomes stale](/docs/app/guides/prefetching.md#extending-or-ejecting-link).
* `router.back()`: Navigate back to the previous route in the browser’s history stack.
* `router.forward()`: Navigate forwards to the next page in the browser’s history stack.

> **Good to know**:
>
> * You must not send untrusted or unsanitized URLs to `router.push` or `router.replace`, as this can open your site to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. For example, `javascript:` URLs sent to `router.push` or `router.replace` will be executed in the context of your page.
> * The `<Link>` component automatically prefetch routes as they become visible in the viewport.
> * `refresh()` could re-produce the same result if fetch requests are cached. Other Dynamic APIs like `cookies` and `headers` could also change the response.
> * The `onInvalidate` callback is called at most once per prefetch request. It signals when you may want to trigger a new prefetch for updated route data.

### Migrating from `next/router`

* The `useRouter` hook should be imported from `next/navigation` and not `next/router` when using the App Router
* The `pathname` string has been removed and is replaced by [`usePathname()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-pathname.md)
* The `query` object has been removed and is replaced by [`useSearchParams()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md)
* `router.events` has been replaced. [See below.](#router-events)

[View the full migration guide](/docs/app/guides/migrating/app-router-migration.md).

## Examples

### Router events

You can listen for page changes by composing other Client Component hooks like `usePathname` and `useSearchParams`.

```jsx filename="app/components/navigation-events.js"
'use client'

import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { usePathname, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export function NavigationEvents() {
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  useEffect(() => {
    const url = `${pathname}?${searchParams}`
    console.log(url)
    // You can now use the current URL
    // ...
  }, [pathname, searchParams])

  return '...'
}
```

Which can be imported into a layout.

```jsx filename="app/layout.js" highlight={2,10-12}
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { NavigationEvents } from './components/navigation-events'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}

        <Suspense fallback={null}>
          <NavigationEvents />
        </Suspense>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: `<NavigationEvents>` is wrapped in a [`Suspense` boundary](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md#examples) because[`useSearchParams()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md) causes client-side rendering up to the closest `Suspense` boundary during [static rendering](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering). [Learn more](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md#behavior).

### Disabling scroll to top

By default, Next.js will scroll to the top of the page when navigating to a new route. You can disable this behavior by passing `scroll: false` to `router.push()` or `router.replace()`.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button
      type="button"
      onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard', { scroll: false })}
    >
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.jsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Page() {
  const router = useRouter()

  return (
    <button
      type="button"
      onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard', { scroll: false })}
    >
      Dashboard
    </button>
  )
}
```

# useSearchParams
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`useSearchParams` is a **Client Component** hook that lets you read the current URL's **query string**.

`useSearchParams` returns a **read-only** version of the [`URLSearchParams`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams) interface.

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // URL -> `/dashboard?search=my-project`
  // `search` -> 'my-project'
  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // URL -> `/dashboard?search=my-project`
  // `search` -> 'my-project'
  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

## Parameters

```tsx
const searchParams = useSearchParams()
```

`useSearchParams` does not take any parameters.

## Returns

`useSearchParams` returns a **read-only** version of the [`URLSearchParams`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams) interface, which includes utility methods for reading the URL's query string:

* [`URLSearchParams.get()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/get): Returns the first value associated with the search parameter. For example:

  | URL                  | `searchParams.get("a")`                                                                                         |
  | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | `/dashboard?a=1`     | `'1'`                                                                                                           |
  | `/dashboard?a=`      | `''`                                                                                                            |
  | `/dashboard?b=3`     | `null`                                                                                                          |
  | `/dashboard?a=1&a=2` | `'1'` *- use [`getAll()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/getAll) to get all values* |

* [`URLSearchParams.has()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/has): Returns a boolean value indicating if the given parameter exists. For example:

  | URL              | `searchParams.has("a")` |
  | ---------------- | ----------------------- |
  | `/dashboard?a=1` | `true`                  |
  | `/dashboard?b=3` | `false`                 |

* Learn more about other **read-only** methods of [`URLSearchParams`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams), including the [`getAll()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/getAll), [`keys()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/keys), [`values()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/values), [`entries()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/entries), [`forEach()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/forEach), and [`toString()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/URLSearchParams/toString).

> **Good to know**:
>
> * `useSearchParams` is a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) hook and is **not supported** in [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) to prevent stale values during [partial rendering](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions).
> * If you want to fetch data in a Server Component based on search params, it's often a better option to read the [`searchParams` prop](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) of the corresponding Page. You can then pass it down by props to any component (Server or Client) within that Page.
> * If an application includes the `/pages` directory, `useSearchParams` will return `ReadonlyURLSearchParams | null`. The `null` value is for compatibility during migration since search params cannot be known during pre-rendering of a page that doesn't use `getServerSideProps`

## Behavior

### Static Rendering

If a route is [statically rendered](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering), calling `useSearchParams` will cause the Client Component tree up to the closest [`Suspense` boundary](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md#examples) to be client-side rendered.

This allows a part of the route to be statically rendered while the dynamic part that uses `useSearchParams` is client-side rendered.

We recommend wrapping the Client Component that uses `useSearchParams` in a `<Suspense/>` boundary. This will allow any Client Components above it to be statically rendered and sent as part of initial HTML. [Example](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md#static-rendering).

For example:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // This will not be logged on the server when using static rendering
  console.log(search)

  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // This will not be logged on the server when using static rendering
  console.log(search)

  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import SearchBar from './search-bar'

// This component passed as a fallback to the Suspense boundary
// will be rendered in place of the search bar in the initial HTML.
// When the value is available during React hydration the fallback
// will be replaced with the `<SearchBar>` component.
function SearchBarFallback() {
  return <>placeholder</>
}

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Suspense fallback={<SearchBarFallback />}>
          <SearchBar />
        </Suspense>
      </nav>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import SearchBar from './search-bar'

// This component passed as a fallback to the Suspense boundary
// will be rendered in place of the search bar in the initial HTML.
// When the value is available during React hydration the fallback
// will be replaced with the `<SearchBar>` component.
function SearchBarFallback() {
  return <>placeholder</>
}

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <Suspense fallback={<SearchBarFallback />}>
          <SearchBar />
        </Suspense>
      </nav>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
    </>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * In development, routes are rendered on-demand, so `useSearchParams` doesn't suspend and things may appear to work without `Suspense`.
> * During production builds, a [static page](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#static-rendering) that calls `useSearchParams` from a Client Component must be wrapped in a `Suspense` boundary, otherwise the build fails with the [Missing Suspense boundary with useSearchParams](/docs/messages/missing-suspense-with-csr-bailout.md) error.
> * If you intend the route to be dynamically rendered, prefer using the [`connection`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md) function first in a Server Component to wait for an incoming request, this excludes everything below from prerendering. See what makes a route dynamic in the [Dynamic Rendering guide](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering).
> * If you're already in a Server Component Page, consider using the [`searchParams` prop](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) and passing the values to Client Components.
> * You can also pass the Page [`searchParams` prop](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) directly to a Client Component and unwrap it with React's `use()`. Although this will suspend, so the Client Component should be wrapped with a `Suspense` boundary.

### Dynamic Rendering

If a route is [dynamically rendered](/docs/app/guides/caching.md#dynamic-rendering), `useSearchParams` will be available on the server during the initial server render of the Client Component.

For example:

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // This will be logged on the server during the initial render
  // and on the client on subsequent navigations.
  console.log(search)

  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/search-bar.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'

export default function SearchBar() {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  const search = searchParams.get('search')

  // This will be logged on the server during the initial render
  // and on the client on subsequent navigations.
  console.log(search)

  return <>Search: {search}</>
}
```

```tsx filename="app/dashboard/page.tsx" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import SearchBar from './search-bar'

export default async function Page() {
  await connection()
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <SearchBar />
      </nav>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/dashboard/page.js" switcher
import { connection } from 'next/server'
import SearchBar from './search-bar'

export default async function Page() {
  await connection()
  return (
    <>
      <nav>
        <SearchBar />
      </nav>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
    </>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Previously, setting `export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` on the page was used to force dynamic rendering. Prefer using [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md) instead, as it semantically ties dynamic rendering to the incoming request.

To access search params in [Pages](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) (Server Components), use the [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional) prop.

#### Layouts

Unlike Pages, [Layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) (Server Components) **do not** receive the `searchParams` prop. This is because a shared layout is [not re-rendered during navigation](/docs/app/getting-started/linking-and-navigating.md#client-side-transitions) which could lead to stale `searchParams` between navigations. View [detailed explanation](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#query-params).

Instead, use the Page [`searchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) prop or the [`useSearchParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-search-params.md) hook in a Client Component, which is re-rendered on the client with the latest `searchParams`.

## Examples

### Updating `searchParams`

You can use [`useRouter`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-router.md) or [`Link`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/link.md) to set new `searchParams`. After a navigation is performed, the current [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) will receive an updated [`searchParams` prop](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#searchparams-optional).

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  // Get a new searchParams string by merging the current
  // searchParams with a provided key/value pair
  const createQueryString = useCallback(
    (name: string, value: string) => {
      const params = new URLSearchParams(searchParams.toString())
      params.set(name, value)

      return params.toString()
    },
    [searchParams]
  )

  return (
    <>
      <p>Sort By</p>

      {/* using useRouter */}
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          // <pathname>?sort=asc
          router.push(pathname + '?' + createQueryString('sort', 'asc'))
        }}
      >
        ASC
      </button>

      {/* using <Link> */}
      <Link
        href={
          // <pathname>?sort=desc
          pathname + '?' + createQueryString('sort', 'desc')
        }
      >
        DESC
      </Link>
    </>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const router = useRouter()
  const pathname = usePathname()
  const searchParams = useSearchParams()

  // Get a new searchParams string by merging the current

  const createQueryString = useCallback(
    (name, value) => {
      const params = new URLSearchParams(searchParams)
      params.set(name, value)

      return params.toString()
    },
    [searchParams]
  )

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-selected-layout-segment.md

# useSelectedLayoutSegment
@doc-version: 16.0.4


`useSelectedLayoutSegment` is a **Client Component** hook that lets you read the active route segment **one level below** the Layout it is called from.

It is useful for navigation UI, such as tabs inside a parent layout that change style depending on the active child segment.

```tsx filename="app/example-client-component.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const segment = useSelectedLayoutSegment()

  return <p>Active segment: {segment}</p>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher
'use client'

import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const segment = useSelectedLayoutSegment()

  return <p>Active segment: {segment}</p>
}
```

> **Good to know**:
>
> * Since `useSelectedLayoutSegment` is a [Client Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) hook, and Layouts are [Server Components](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) by default, `useSelectedLayoutSegment` is usually called via a Client Component that is imported into a Layout.
> * `useSelectedLayoutSegment` only returns the segment one level down. To return all active segments, see [`useSelectedLayoutSegments`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/use-selected-layout-segments.md)

## Parameters

```tsx
const segment = useSelectedLayoutSegment(parallelRoutesKey?: string)
```

`useSelectedLayoutSegment` *optionally* accepts a [`parallelRoutesKey`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md#with-useselectedlayoutsegments), which allows you to read the active route segment within that slot.

## Returns

`useSelectedLayoutSegment` returns a string of the active segment or `null` if one doesn't exist.

For example, given the Layouts and URLs below, the returned segment would be:

| Layout                    | Visited URL                    | Returned Segment |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------- |
| `app/layout.js`           | `/`                            | `null`           |
| `app/layout.js`           | `/dashboard`                   | `'dashboard'`    |
| `app/dashboard/layout.js` | `/dashboard`                   | `null`           |
| `app/dashboard/layout.js` | `/dashboard/settings`          | `'settings'`     |
| `app/dashboard/layout.js` | `/dashboard/analytics`         | `'analytics'`    |
| `app/dashboard/layout.js` | `/dashboard/analytics/monthly` | `'analytics'`    |

## Examples

### Creating an active link component

You can use `useSelectedLayoutSegment` to create an active link component that changes style depending on the active segment. For example, a featured posts list in the sidebar of a blog:

```tsx filename="app/blog/blog-nav-link.tsx" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

// This *client* component will be imported into a blog layout
export default function BlogNavLink({
  slug,
  children,
}: {
  slug: string
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  // Navigating to `/blog/hello-world` will return 'hello-world'
  // for the selected layout segment
  const segment = useSelectedLayoutSegment()
  const isActive = slug === segment

  return (
    <Link
      href={`/blog/${slug}`}
      // Change style depending on whether the link is active
      style={{ fontWeight: isActive ? 'bold' : 'normal' }}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/blog-nav-link.js" switcher
'use client'

import Link from 'next/link'
import { useSelectedLayoutSegment } from 'next/navigation'

// This *client* component will be imported into a blog layout
export default function BlogNavLink({ slug, children }) {
  // Navigating to `/blog/hello-world` will return 'hello-world'
  // for the selected layout segment
  const segment = useSelectedLayoutSegment()
  const isActive = slug === segment

  return (
    <Link
      href={`/blog/${slug}`}
      // Change style depending on whether the link is active
      style={{ fontWeight: isActive ? 'bold' : 'normal' }}
    >
      {children}
    </Link>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="app/blog/layout.tsx" switcher
// Import the Client Component into a parent Layout (Server Component)
import { BlogNavLink } from './blog-nav-link'
import getFeaturedPosts from './get-featured-posts'

export default async function Layout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  const featuredPosts = await getFeaturedPosts()
  return (
    <div>
      {featuredPosts.map((post) => (
        <div key={post.id}>
          <BlogNavLink slug={post.slug}>{post.title}</BlogNavLink>
        </div>
      ))}
      <div>{children}</div>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/blog/layout.js" switcher
// Import the Client Component into a parent Layout (Server Component)
import { BlogNavLink } from './blog-nav-link'
import getFeaturedPosts from './get-featured-posts'

export default async function Layout({ children }) {
  const featuredPosts = await getFeaturedPosts()
  return (
    <div>
      {featuredPosts.map((post) => (
        <div key={post.id}>
          <BlogNavLink slug={post.slug}>{post.title}</BlogNavLink>
        </div>
      ))}
      <div>{children}</div>
    </div>
  )
}
```

        <li key={index}>{segment}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/example-client-component.js" switcher

import { useSelectedLayoutSegments } from 'next/navigation'

export default function ExampleClientComponent() {
  const segments = useSelectedLayoutSegments()

  return (
    <ul>
      {segments.map((segment, index) => (

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-server.md

# use server
@doc-version: 16.0.4


The `use server` directive designates a function or file to be executed on the **server side**. It can be used at the top of a file to indicate that all functions in the file are server-side, or inline at the top of a function to mark the function as a [Server Function](https://19.react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions). This is a React feature.

## Using `use server` at the top of a file

The following example shows a file with a `use server` directive at the top. All functions in the file are executed on the server.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={1} switcher
'use server'
import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client

export async function createUser(data: { name: string; email: string }) {
  const user = await db.user.create({ data })
  return user
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use server'
import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client

export async function createUser(data) {
  const user = await db.user.create({ data })
  return user
}
```

### Using Server Functions in a Client Component

To use Server Functions in Client Components you need to create your Server Functions in a dedicated file using the `use server` directive at the top of the file. These Server Functions can then be imported into Client and Server Components and executed.

Assuming you have a `fetchUsers` Server Function in `actions.ts`:

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={1} switcher
'use server'
import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client

export async function fetchUsers() {
  const users = await db.user.findMany()
  return users
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" highlight={1} switcher
'use server'
import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client

export async function fetchUsers() {
  const users = await db.user.findMany()
  return users
}
```

Then you can import the `fetchUsers` Server Function into a Client Component and execute it on the client-side.

```tsx filename="app/components/my-button.tsx" highlight={1,2,8} switcher
'use client'
import { fetchUsers } from '../actions'

export default function MyButton() {
  return <button onClick={() => fetchUsers()}>Fetch Users</button>
}
```

```jsx filename="app/components/my-button.js" highlight={1,2,8} switcher
'use client'
import { fetchUsers } from '../actions'

export default function MyButton() {
  return <button onClick={() => fetchUsers()}>Fetch Users</button>
}
```

## Using `use server` inline

In the following example, `use server` is used inline at the top of a function to mark it as a [Server Function](https://19.react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions):

```tsx filename="app/posts/[id]/page.tsx" switcher highlight={8}
import { EditPost } from './edit-post'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export default async function PostPage({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.id)

  async function updatePost(formData: FormData) {
    'use server'
    await savePost(params.id, formData)
    revalidatePath(`/posts/${params.id}`)
  }

  return <EditPost updatePostAction={updatePost} post={post} />
}
```

```jsx filename="app/posts/[id]/page.js" switcher highlight={8}
import { EditPost } from './edit-post'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export default async function PostPage({ params }) {
  const post = await getPost(params.id)

  async function updatePost(formData) {
    'use server'
    await savePost(params.id, formData)
    revalidatePath(`/posts/${params.id}`)
  }

  return <EditPost updatePostAction={updatePost} post={post} />
}
```

## Security considerations

When using the `use server` directive, it's important to ensure that all server-side logic is secure and that sensitive data remains protected.

### Authentication and authorization

Always authenticate and authorize users before performing sensitive server-side operations.

```tsx filename="app/actions.ts" highlight={1,7,8,9,10} switcher
'use server'

import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client
import { authenticate } from '@/lib/auth' // Your authentication library

export async function createUser(
  data: { name: string; email: string },
  token: string
) {
  const user = authenticate(token)
  if (!user) {
    throw new Error('Unauthorized')
  }
  const newUser = await db.user.create({ data })
  return newUser
}
```

```jsx filename="app/actions.js" highlight={1,7,8,9,10} switcher
'use server'

import { db } from '@/lib/db' // Your database client
import { authenticate } from '@/lib/auth' // Your authentication library

export async function createUser(data, token) {
  const user = authenticate(token)
  if (!user) {
    throw new Error('Unauthorized')
  }
  const newUser = await db.user.create({ data })
  return newUser
}
```

@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

Experimental support for using [Lightning CSS](https://lightningcss.dev) with webpack. Lightning CSS is a fast CSS transformer and minifier, written in Rust.

If this option is not set, Next.js on webpack uses [PostCSS](https://postcss.org/) with [`postcss-preset-env`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-preset-env) by default.

Turbopack uses Lightning CSS by default since Next 14.2. This configuration option has no effect on Turbopack. Turbopack always uses Lightning CSS.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    useLightningcss: false, // default, ignored on Turbopack
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    useLightningcss: true, // disables PostCSS on webpack
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

# How to upgrade to version 11


To upgrade to version 11, run the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm i next@11 react@17 react-dom@17
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn add next@11 react@17 react-dom@17
```

```bash filename="Terminal"

```

```bash filename="Terminal"
bun add next@11 react@17 react-dom@17
```

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their corresponding versions.

### Webpack 5

Webpack 5 is now the default for all Next.js applications. If you did not have a custom webpack configuration, your application is already using webpack 5. If you do have a custom webpack configuration, you can refer to the [Next.js webpack 5 documentation](/docs/messages/webpack5.md) for upgrade guidance.

### Cleaning the `distDir` is now a default

The build output directory (defaults to `.next`) is now cleared by default except for the Next.js caches. You can refer to [the cleaning `distDir` RFC](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/6009) for more information.

If your application was relying on this behavior previously you can disable the new default behavior by adding the `cleanDistDir: false` flag in `next.config.js`.

### `PORT` is now supported for `next dev` and `next start`

Next.js 11 supports the `PORT` environment variable to set the port the application runs on. Using `-p`/`--port` is still recommended but if you were prohibited from using `-p` in any way you can now use `PORT` as an alternative:

Example:

```
PORT=4000 next start
```

### `next.config.js` customization to import images

Next.js 11 supports static image imports with `next/image`. This new feature relies on being able to process image imports. If you previously added the `next-images` or `next-optimized-images` packages you can either move to the new built-in support using `next/image` or disable the feature:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  images: {
    disableStaticImages: true,
  },
}
```

### Remove `super.componentDidCatch()` from `pages/_app.js`

The `next/app` component's `componentDidCatch` was deprecated in Next.js 9 as it's no longer needed and has since been a no-op. In Next.js 11, it was removed.

If your `pages/_app.js` has a custom `componentDidCatch` method you can remove `super.componentDidCatch` as it is no longer needed.

### Remove `Container` from `pages/_app.js`

This export was deprecated in Next.js 9 as it's no longer needed and has since been a no-op with a warning during development. In Next.js 11 it was removed.

If your `pages/_app.js` imports `Container` from `next/app` you can remove `Container` as it was removed. Learn more in [the documentation](/docs/messages/app-container-deprecated.md).

### Remove `props.url` usage from page components

This property was deprecated in Next.js 4 and has since shown a warning during development. With the introduction of `getStaticProps` / `getServerSideProps` these methods already disallowed the usage of `props.url`. In Next.js 11, it was removed completely.

You can learn more in [the documentation](/docs/messages/url-deprecated.md).

### Remove `unsized` property on `next/image`

The `unsized` property on `next/image` was deprecated in Next.js 10.0.1. You can use `layout="fill"` instead. In Next.js 11 `unsized` was removed.

### Remove `modules` property on `next/dynamic`

The `modules` and `render` option for `next/dynamic` were deprecated in Next.js 9.5. This was done in order to make the `next/dynamic` API closer to `React.lazy`. In Next.js 11, the `modules` and `render` options were removed.

This option hasn't been mentioned in the documentation since Next.js 8 so it's less likely that your application is using it.

If your application does use `modules` and `render` you can refer to [the documentation](/docs/messages/next-dynamic-modules.md).

### Remove `Head.rewind`

`Head.rewind` has been a no-op since Next.js 9.5, in Next.js 11 it was removed. You can safely remove your usage of `Head.rewind`.

### Moment.js locales excluded by default

Moment.js includes translations for a lot of locales by default. Next.js now automatically excludes these locales by default to optimize bundle size for applications using Moment.js.

To load a specific locale use this snippet:

```js
import moment from 'moment'
import 'moment/locale/ja'

moment.locale('ja')
```

You can opt-out of this new default by adding `excludeDefaultMomentLocales: false` to `next.config.js` if you do not want the new behavior, do note it's highly recommended to not disable this new optimization as it significantly reduces the size of Moment.js.

### Update usage of `router.events`

In case you're accessing `router.events` during rendering, in Next.js 11 `router.events` is no longer provided during pre-rendering. Ensure you're accessing `router.events` in `useEffect`:

```js
useEffect(() => {
  const handleRouteChange = (url, { shallow }) => {
    console.log(
      `App is changing to ${url} ${
        shallow ? 'with' : 'without'
      } shallow routing`
    )
  }

  router.events.on('routeChangeStart', handleRouteChange)

  // If the component is unmounted, unsubscribe
  // from the event with the `off` method:
  return () => {
    router.events.off('routeChangeStart', handleRouteChange)
  }
}, [router])
```

If your application uses `router.router.events` which was an internal property that was not public please make sure to use `router.events` as well.

## React 16 to 17

React 17 introduced a new [JSX Transform](https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/09/22/introducing-the-new-jsx-transform.html) that brings a long-time Next.js feature to the wider React ecosystem: Not having to `import React from 'react'` when using JSX. When using React 17 Next.js will automatically use the new transform. This transform does not make the `React` variable global, which was an unintended side-effect of the previous Next.js implementation. A [codemod is available](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#add-missing-react-import) to automatically fix cases where you accidentally used `React` without importing it.

Most applications already use the latest version of React, with Next.js 11 the minimum React version has been updated to 17.0.2.

To upgrade you can run the following command:

```
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest
```

Or using `yarn`:

```
yarn add react@latest react-dom@latest
```

```

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their corresponding versions.

### Upgrading to 12.2

[Middleware](/docs/messages/middleware-upgrade-guide.md) - If you were using Middleware prior to `12.2`, please see the [upgrade guide](/docs/messages/middleware-upgrade-guide.md) for more information.

### Upgrading to 12.0

[Minimum Node.js Version](https://nodejs.org/en/) - The minimum Node.js version has been bumped from `12.0.0` to `12.22.0` which is the first version of Node.js with native ES Modules support.

[Minimum React Version](https://react.dev/learn/add-react-to-an-existing-project) - The minimum required React version is `17.0.2`. To upgrade you can run the following command in the terminal:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install react@latest react-dom@latest

yarn add react@latest react-dom@latest

pnpm update react@latest react-dom@latest

bun add react@latest react-dom@latest
```

#### SWC replacing Babel

Next.js now uses the Rust-based compiler [SWC](https://swc.rs/) to compile JavaScript/TypeScript. This new compiler is up to 17x faster than Babel when compiling individual files and up to 5x faster Fast Refresh.

Next.js provides full backward compatibility with applications that have [custom Babel configuration](/docs/pages/guides/babel.md). All transformations that Next.js handles by default like styled-jsx and tree-shaking of `getStaticProps` / `getStaticPaths` / `getServerSideProps` have been ported to Rust.

When an application has a custom Babel configuration, Next.js will automatically opt-out of using SWC for compiling JavaScript/Typescript and will fall back to using Babel in the same way that it was used in Next.js 11.

Many of the integrations with external libraries that currently require custom Babel transformations will be ported to Rust-based SWC transforms in the near future. These include but are not limited to:

* Styled Components
* Emotion
* Relay

In order to prioritize transforms that will help you adopt SWC, please provide your `.babelrc` on [this feedback thread](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/30174).

#### SWC replacing Terser for minification

You can opt-in to replacing Terser with SWC for minifying JavaScript up to 7x faster using a flag in `next.config.js`:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  swcMinify: true,
}
```

Minification using SWC is an opt-in flag to ensure it can be tested against more real-world Next.js applications before it becomes the default in Next.js 12.1. If you have feedback about minification, please leave it on [this feedback thread](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/30237).

#### Improvements to styled-jsx CSS parsing

On top of the Rust-based compiler we've implemented a new CSS parser based on the one used for the styled-jsx Babel transform. This new parser has improved handling of CSS and now errors when invalid CSS is used that would previously slip through and cause unexpected behavior.

Because of this change invalid CSS will throw an error during development and `next build`. This change only affects styled-jsx usage.

#### `next/image` changed wrapping element

`next/image` now renders the `<img>` inside a `<span>` instead of `<div>`.

If your application has specific CSS targeting span such as `.container span`, upgrading to Next.js 12 might incorrectly match the wrapping element inside the `<Image>` component. You can avoid this by restricting the selector to a specific class such as `.container span.item` and updating the relevant component with that className, such as `<span className="item" />`.

If your application has specific CSS targeting the `next/image` `<div>` tag, for example `.container div`, it may not match anymore. You can update the selector `.container span`, or preferably, add a new `<div className="wrapper">` wrapping the `<Image>` component and target that instead such as `.container .wrapper`.

The `className` prop is unchanged and will still be passed to the underlying `<img>` element.

See the [documentation](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image.md#styling-images) for more info.

#### HMR connection now uses a WebSocket

Previously, Next.js used a [server-sent events](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events) connection to receive HMR events. Next.js 12 now uses a WebSocket connection.

In some cases when proxying requests to the Next.js dev server, you will need to ensure the upgrade request is handled correctly. For example, in `nginx` you would need to add the following configuration:

```nginx
location /_next/webpack-hmr {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/_next/webpack-hmr;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
```

If you are using Apache (2.x), you can add the following configuration to enable web sockets to the server. Review the port, host name and server names.

```
<VirtualHost *:443>
 # ServerName yourwebsite.local
 ServerName "${WEBSITE_SERVER_NAME}"
 ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
 ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
 # Next.js 12 uses websocket
 <Location /_next/webpack-hmr>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC]
    RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:3000/_next/webpack-hmr/$1 [P,L]
    ProxyPass ws://localhost:3000/_next/webpack-hmr retry=0 timeout=30
    ProxyPassReverse ws://localhost:3000/_next/webpack-hmr
 </Location>
</VirtualHost>
```

For custom servers, such as `express`, you may need to use `app.all` to ensure the request is passed correctly, for example:

```js
app.all('/_next/webpack-hmr', (req, res) => {
  nextjsRequestHandler(req, res)
})
```

#### Webpack 4 support has been removed

If you are already using webpack 5 you can skip this section.

Next.js has adopted webpack 5 as the default for compilation in Next.js 11. As communicated in the [webpack 5 upgrading documentation](/docs/messages/webpack5.md) Next.js 12 removes support for webpack 4.

If your application is still using webpack 4 using the opt-out flag, you will now see an error linking to the [webpack 5 upgrading documentation](/docs/messages/webpack5.md).

#### `target` option deprecated

If you do not have `target` in `next.config.js` you can skip this section.

The target option has been deprecated in favor of built-in support for tracing what dependencies are needed to run a page.

During `next build`, Next.js will automatically trace each page and its dependencies to determine all of the files that are needed for deploying a production version of your application.

If you are currently using the `target` option set to `serverless`, please read the [documentation on how to leverage the new output](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/output.md).

pnpm i next@13 react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@13
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
bun add next@13 react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@13
```

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their latest versions.

### v13 Summary

* The [Supported Browsers](/docs/architecture/supported-browsers.md) have been changed to drop Internet Explorer and target modern browsers.
* The minimum Node.js version has been bumped from 12.22.0 to 16.14.0, since 12.x and 14.x have reached end-of-life.
* The minimum React version has been bumped from 17.0.2 to 18.2.0.
* The `swcMinify` configuration property was changed from `false` to `true`. See [Next.js Compiler](/docs/architecture/nextjs-compiler.md) for more info.
* The `next/image` import was renamed to `next/legacy/image`. The `next/future/image` import was renamed to `next/image`. A [codemod is available](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-to-legacy-image) to safely and automatically rename your imports.
* The `next/link` child can no longer be `<a>`. Add the `legacyBehavior` prop to use the legacy behavior or remove the `<a>` to upgrade. A [codemod is available](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#new-link) to automatically upgrade your code.
* The `target` configuration property has been removed and superseded by [Output File Tracing](/docs/pages/api-reference/config/next-config-js/output.md).

## Migrating shared features

Next.js 13 introduces a new [`app` directory](/docs/app.md) with new features and conventions. However, upgrading to Next.js 13 does **not** require using the new `app` Router.

You can continue using `pages` with new features that work in both directories, such as the updated [Image component](#image-component), [Link component](#link-component), [Script component](#script-component), and [Font optimization](#font-optimization).

### `<Image/>` Component

Next.js 12 introduced many improvements to the Image Component with a temporary import: `next/future/image`. These improvements included less client-side JavaScript, easier ways to extend and style images, better accessibility, and native browser lazy loading.

Starting in Next.js 13, this new behavior is now the default for `next/image`.

There are two codemods to help you migrate to the new Image Component:

* [next-image-to-legacy-image](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-to-legacy-image): This codemod will safely and automatically rename `next/image` imports to `next/legacy/image` to maintain the same behavior as Next.js 12. We recommend running this codemod to quickly update to Next.js 13 automatically.
* [next-image-experimental](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-experimental): After running the previous codemod, you can optionally run this experimental codemod to upgrade `next/legacy/image` to the new `next/image`, which will remove unused props and add inline styles. Please note this codemod is experimental and only covers static usage (such as `<Image src={img} layout="responsive" />`) but not dynamic usage (such as `<Image {...props} />`).

Alternatively, you can manually update by following the [migration guide](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-image-experimental) and also see the [legacy comparison](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/image-legacy.md#comparison).

### `<Link>` Component

The [`<Link>` Component](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link.md) no longer requires manually adding an `<a>` tag as a child. This behavior was added as an experimental option in [version 12.2](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12-2) and is now the default. In Next.js 13, `<Link>` always renders `<a>` and allows you to forward props to the underlying tag.

For example:

```jsx
import Link from 'next/link'

// Next.js 12: `<a>` has to be nested otherwise it's excluded
<Link href="/about">
  <a>About</a>
</Link>

// Next.js 13: `<Link>` always renders `<a>` under the hood
<Link href="/about">
  About
</Link>
```

To upgrade your links to Next.js 13, you can use the [`new-link` codemod](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#new-link).

### `<Script>` Component

The behavior of [`next/script`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/script.md) has been updated to support both `pages` and `app`. If incrementally adopting `app`, read the [upgrade guide](/docs/pages/guides/upgrading.md).

### Font Optimization

Previously, Next.js helped you optimize fonts by inlining font CSS. Version 13 introduces the new [`next/font`](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/font.md) module which gives you the ability to customize your font loading experience while still ensuring great performance and privacy.

See [Optimizing Fonts](/docs/pages/api-reference/components/font.md) to learn how to use `next/font`.

```

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their latest versions.

### v14 Summary

* The minimum Node.js version has been bumped from 16.14 to 18.17, since 16.x has reached end-of-life.
* The `next export` command has been removed in favor of `output: 'export'` config. Please see the [docs](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/static-exports) for more information.
* The `next/server` import for `ImageResponse` was renamed to `next/og`. A [codemod is available](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#next-og-import) to safely and automatically rename your imports.
* The `@next/font` package has been fully removed in favor of the built-in `next/font`. A [codemod is available](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#built-in-next-font) to safely and automatically rename your imports.
* The WASM target for `next-swc` has been removed.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-15.md

# How to upgrade to version 15
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Upgrading from 14 to 15

To update to Next.js version 15, you can use the `upgrade` codemod:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest
```

If you prefer to do it manually, ensure that you're installing the latest Next & React versions:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm i next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest eslint-config-next@latest
```

> **Good to know:**
>
> * If you see a peer dependencies warning, you may need to update `react` and `react-dom` to the suggested versions, or use the `--force` or `--legacy-peer-deps` flag to ignore the warning. This won't be necessary once both Next.js 15 and React 19 are stable.

## React 19

* The minimum versions of `react` and `react-dom` is now 19.
* `useFormState` has been replaced by `useActionState`. The `useFormState` hook is still available in React 19, but it is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. `useActionState` is recommended and includes additional properties like reading the `pending` state directly. [Learn more](https://react.dev/reference/react/useActionState).
* `useFormStatus` now includes additional keys like `data`, `method`, and `action`. If you are not using React 19, only the `pending` key is available. [Learn more](https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/hooks/useFormStatus).
* Read more in the [React 19 upgrade guide](https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19-upgrade-guide).

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their latest versions.

## Async Request APIs (Breaking change)

Previously synchronous Dynamic APIs that rely on runtime information are now **asynchronous**:

* [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)
* [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md)
* [`draftMode`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/draft-mode.md)
* `params` in [`layout.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md), [`route.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), [`default.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md), [`opengraph-image`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md), [`twitter-image`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md), [`icon`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md), and [`apple-icon`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md).
* `searchParams` in [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md)

To ease the burden of migration, a [codemod is available](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#150) to automate the process and the APIs can temporarily be accessed synchronously.

### `cookies`

#### Recommended Async Usage

```tsx
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

// Before
const cookieStore = cookies()
const token = cookieStore.get('token')

// After
const cookieStore = await cookies()
const token = cookieStore.get('token')
```

#### Temporary Synchronous Usage

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import { cookies, type UnsafeUnwrappedCookies } from 'next/headers'

// Before
const cookieStore = cookies()

// After
const cookieStore = cookies() as unknown as UnsafeUnwrappedCookies
// will log a warning in dev
const token = cookieStore.get('token')
```

```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export default function Page(props) {
  const params = use(props.params)
  const searchParams = use(props.searchParams)
  const slug = params.slug
  const query = searchParams.query
}

```

#### Route Handlers

```tsx filename="app/api/route.ts" switcher
// Before
type Params = { slug: string }

export async function GET(request: Request, segmentData: { params: Params }) {
  const params = segmentData.params
  const slug = params.slug
}

// After
type Params = Promise<{ slug: string }>

export async function GET(request: Request, segmentData: { params: Params }) {
  const params = await segmentData.params
  const slug = params.slug
}
```

```js filename="app/api/route.js" switcher
// Before
export async function GET(request, segmentData) {
  const params = segmentData.params
  const slug = params.slug
}

// After
export async function GET(request, segmentData) {
  const params = await segmentData.params
  const slug = params.slug
}
```

## `runtime` configuration (Breaking change)

The `runtime` [segment configuration](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md#runtime) previously supported a value of `experimental-edge` in addition to `edge`. Both configurations refer to the same thing, and to simplify the options, we will now error if `experimental-edge` is used. To fix this, update your `runtime` configuration to `edge`. A [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#app-dir-runtime-config-experimental-edge) is available to automatically do this.

## `fetch` requests

[`fetch` requests](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/fetch.md) are no longer cached by default.

To opt specific `fetch` requests into caching, you can pass the `cache: 'force-cache'` option.

```js filename="app/layout.js"
export default async function RootLayout() {
  const a = await fetch('https://...') // Not Cached
  const b = await fetch('https://...', { cache: 'force-cache' }) // Cached

  // ...
}
```

To opt all `fetch` requests in a layout or page into caching, you can use the `export const fetchCache = 'default-cache'` [segment config option](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md). If individual `fetch` requests specify a `cache` option, that will be used instead.

```js filename="app/layout.js"
// Since this is the root layout, all fetch requests in the app
// that don't set their own cache option will be cached.
export const fetchCache = 'default-cache'

export default async function RootLayout() {
  const a = await fetch('https://...') // Cached
  const b = await fetch('https://...', { cache: 'no-store' }) // Not cached

  // ...
}
```

## Route Handlers

`GET` functions in [Route Handlers](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md) are no longer cached by default. To opt `GET` methods into caching, you can use a [route config option](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config.md) such as `export const dynamic = 'force-static'` in your Route Handler file.

```js filename="app/api/route.js"
export const dynamic = 'force-static'

export async function GET() {}
```

## Client-side Router Cache

When navigating between pages via `<Link>` or `useRouter`, [page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md) segments are no longer reused from the client-side router cache. However, they are still reused during browser backward and forward navigation and for shared layouts.

To opt page segments into caching, you can use the [`staleTimes`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/staleTimes.md) config option:

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    staleTimes: {
      dynamic: 30,
      static: 180,
    },
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

[Layouts](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md) and [loading states](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) are still cached and reused on navigation.

## `next/font`

The `@next/font` package has been removed in favor of the built-in [`next/font`](/docs/app/api-reference/components/font.md). A [codemod is available](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#built-in-next-font) to safely and automatically rename your imports.

```js filename="app/layout.js"
// Before
import { Inter } from '@next/font/google'

// After
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'
```

## bundlePagesRouterDependencies

`experimental.bundlePagesExternals` is now stable and renamed to `bundlePagesRouterDependencies`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // Before
  experimental: {
    bundlePagesExternals: true,
  },

  // After
  bundlePagesRouterDependencies: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## serverExternalPackages

`experimental.serverComponentsExternalPackages` is now stable and renamed to `serverExternalPackages`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // Before
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: ['package-name'],
  },

  // After
  serverExternalPackages: ['package-name'],
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Speed Insights

Auto instrumentation for Speed Insights was removed in Next.js 15.

To continue using Speed Insights, follow the [Vercel Speed Insights Quickstart](https://vercel.com/docs/speed-insights/quickstart) guide.

## `NextRequest` Geolocation

The `geo` and `ip` properties on `NextRequest` have been removed as these values are provided by your hosting provider. A [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#150) is available to automate this migration.

If you are using Vercel, you can alternatively use the `geolocation` and `ipAddress` functions from [`@vercel/functions`](https://vercel.com/docs/functions/vercel-functions-package) instead:

```ts filename="middleware.ts"
import { geolocation } from '@vercel/functions'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const { city } = geolocation(request)

  // ...
}
```

```ts filename="middleware.ts"
import { ipAddress } from '@vercel/functions'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const ip = ipAddress(request)

  // ...
}
```

# How to upgrade to version 16
@doc-version: 16.0.4


## Upgrading from 15 to 16

### Using AI Agents with Next.js DevTools MCP

If you're using an AI coding assistant that supports the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io), you can use the **Next.js DevTools MCP** to automate the upgrade process and migration tasks.

#### Setup

Add the following configuration to your MCP client, example:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "next-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "next-devtools-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

For more information, visit the [`next-devtools-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-devtools-mcp) package on npm to configure with your MCP client.

> **Note:** Using `next-devtools-mcp@latest` ensures that your MCP client will always use the latest version of the Next.js DevTools MCP server.

#### Example Prompts

Once configured, you can use natural language prompts to upgrade your Next.js app:

**To upgrade to Next.js 16:**

Connect to your coding agent and then prompt:

```txt
Next Devtools, help me upgrade my Next.js app to version 16
```

**To migrate to Cache Components (after upgrading to v16):**

Connect to your coding agent and then prompt:

```txt
Next Devtools, migrate my Next.js app to cache components
```

Learn more in the documentation [here](/docs/app/guides/mcp.md).

### Using the Codemod

To update to Next.js version 16, you can use the `upgrade` [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#160):

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest
```

The [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#160) is able to:

* Update `next.config.js` to use the new `turbopack` configuration
* Migrate from `next lint` to the ESLint CLI
* Migrate from deprecated `middleware` convention to `proxy`
* Remove `unstable_` prefix from stabilized APIs
* Remove `experimental_ppr` Route Segment Config from pages and layouts

If you prefer to do it manually, install the latest Next.js and React versions:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest
```

If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their latest versions.

## Node.js runtime and browser support

| Requirement   | Change / Details                                                   |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Node.js 20.9+ | Minimum version now `20.9.0` (LTS); Node.js 18 no longer supported |
| TypeScript 5+ | Minimum version now `5.1.0`                                        |
| Browsers      | Chrome 111+, Edge 111+, Firefox 111+, Safari 16.4+                 |

## Turbopack by default

Starting with **Next.js 16**, Turbopack is stable and used by default with `next dev` and `next build`

Previously you had to enable Turbopack using `--turbopack`, or `--turbo`.

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev --turbopack",
    "build": "next build --turbopack",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
```

This is no longer necessary. You can update your `package.json` scripts:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
```

If your project has a [custom `webpack`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/webpack.md) configuration and you run `next build` (which now uses Turbopack by default), the build will **fail** to prevent misconfiguration issues.

You have a few different ways to address this:

* **Use Turbopack anyway:** Run with `next build --turbopack` to build using Turbopack and ignore your `webpack` config.
* **Switch to Turbopack fully:** Migrate your `webpack` config to Turbopack-compatible options.
* **Keep using Webpack:** Use the `--webpack` flag to opt out of Turbopack and build with Webpack.

> **Good to know**: If you see failing builds because a `webpack` configuration was found, but you don't define one yourself, it is likely that a plugin is adding a `webpack` option

### Opting out of Turbopack

If you need to continue using Webpack, you can opt out with the `--webpack` flag. For example, to use Turbopack in development but Webpack for production builds:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build --webpack",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}
```

We recommend using Turbopack for development and production. Submit a comment to this [thread](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/77721), if you are unable to switch to Turbopack.

### Turbopack configuration location

The `experimental.turbopack` configuration is out of experimental.

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

// Next.js 15 - experimental.turbopack
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    turbopack: {
      // options
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

You can use it as a top-level `turbopack` option:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

// Next.js 16 - turbopack at the top level of nextConfig
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    // options
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

Make sure to review the `Turbopack` configuration [options](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack.md). **Next.js 16** introduces various improvements and new options, for example:

* [Advanced Webpack loader conditions](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack.md#advanced-webpack-loader-conditions)
* [debugIds](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/turbopack.md#debug-ids)

### Resolve alias fallback

In some projects, client-side code may import files containing Node.js native modules. This will cause `Module not found: Can't resolve 'fs'` type of errors.

When this happens, you should refactor your code so that your client-side bundles do not reference these Node.js native modules.

However, in some cases, this might not be possible. In Webpack the `resolve.fallback` option was typically used to **silence** the error. Turbopack offers a similar option, using `turbopack.resolveAlias`. In this case, tell Turbopack to load an empty module when `fs` is requested for the browser.

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveAlias: {
      fs: {
        browser: './empty.ts', // We recommend to fix code imports before using this method
      },
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

It is preferable to refactor your modules so that client code doesn't ever import from modules using Node.js native modules.

### Sass node\_modules imports

Turbopack fully supports importing Sass files from `node_modules`. Note that while Webpack allowed the legacy tilde (`~`) prefix, Turbopack does not support this syntax.

In Webpack:

```scss filename="styles/globals.scss"
@import '~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
```

In Turbopack:

```scss filename="styles/globals.scss"
@import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
```

If changing the imports is not possible, you can use `turbopack.resolveAlias`. For example:

```ts filename="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveAlias: {
      '~*': '*',
    },
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

### Turbopack File System Caching (beta)

Turbopack now supports filesystem caching in development, storing compiler artifacts on disk between runs for significantly faster compile times across restarts.

Enable filesystem caching in your configuration:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## Async Request APIs (Breaking change)

Version 15 introduced [Async Request APIs](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-15#async-request-apis-breaking-change) as a breaking change, with **temporary** synchronous compatibility.

Starting with **Next.js 16**, synchronous access is fully removed. These APIs can only be accessed asynchronously.

* [`cookies`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cookies.md)
* [`headers`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers.md)
* [`draftMode`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/draft-mode.md)
* `params` in [`layout.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md), [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md), [`route.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md), [`default.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md), [`opengraph-image`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md#opengraph-image), [`twitter-image`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image.md#twitter-image), [`icon`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md#icon), and [`apple-icon`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons.md#apple-icon).
* `searchParams` in [`page.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md)

Use the [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#migrate-to-async-dynamic-apis) to migrate to async Dynamic APIs.

### Migrating types for async Dynamic APIs

To help migrate to async `params` and `searchParams`, you can run [`npx next typegen`](/docs/app/api-reference/cli/next.md#next-typegen-options) to automatically generate these globally available types helpers:

* [`PageProps`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page.md#page-props-helper)
* [`LayoutProps`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout.md#layout-props-helper)
* [`RouteContext`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route.md#route-context-helper)

> **Good to know**: `typegen` was introduced in Next.js 15.5

This simplifies type-safe migration to the new async API pattern, and enables you to update your components with full type safety, for example:

```tsx filename="/app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx"
export default async function Page(props: PageProps<'/blog/[slug]'>) {
  const { slug } = await props.params
  const query = await props.searchParams
  return <h1>Blog Post: {slug}</h1>
}
```

This approach gives you fully type-safe access to `props.params`, including the `slug`, and to `searchParams`, directly within your page.

## Async parameters for icon, and open-graph Image (Breaking change)

> The props passed to the image generating functions in `opengraph-image`, `twitter-image`, `icon`, and `apple-icon`, are now Promises.

In previous versions, both the `Image` (image generation function), and the `generateImageMetadata` received a `params` object. The `id` returned by `generateImageMetadata` was passed as a string to the image generation function.

```js filename="app/shop/[slug]/opengraph-image.js"
// Next.js 15 - synchronous params access
export function generateImageMetadata({ params }) {
  const { slug } = params
  return [{ id: '1' }, { id: '2' }]
}

// Next.js 15 - synchronous params and id access
export default function Image({ params, id }) {
  const slug = params.slug
  const imageId = id // string
  // ...
}
```

Starting with **Next.js 16**, to align with the [Async Request APIs](#async-request-apis-breaking-change) change, the image generating function now receives `params` and `id` as promises. The `generateImageMetadata` function continues to receive synchronous `params`.

```js filename="app/shop/[slug]/opengraph-image.js"
export async function generateImageMetadata({ params }) {
  const { slug } = params
  return [{ id: '1' }, { id: '2' }]
}

// Next.js 16 - asynchronous params and id access
export default async function Image({ params, id }) {
  const { slug } = await params // params now async
  const imageId = await id // id is now Promise<string> when using generateImageMetadata
  // ...
}
```

## Async `id` parameter for `sitemap` (Breaking change)

Previously, the `id` values returned from [`generateSitemaps`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-sitemaps.md) were passed directly to the `sitemap` generating function.

```js filename="app/product/sitemap.js"
export async function generateSitemaps() {
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

// Next.js 15 - synchronous id access
export default async function sitemap({ id }) {
  const start = id * 50000 // id is a number
  // ...
}
```

Starting with **Next.js 16**, the `sitemap` generating function now receives `id` as a promise.

```js filename="app/product/sitemap.js"
export async function generateSitemaps() {
  return [{ id: 0 }, { id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
}

// Next.js 16 - asynchronous id access
export default async function sitemap({ id }) {
  const resolvedId = await id // id is now Promise<number>
  const start = resolvedId * 50000
  // ...
}
```

## React 19.2

The App Router in **Next.js 16** uses the latest React [Canary release](https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries), which includes the newly released React 19.2 features and other features being incrementally stabilized. Highlights include:

* **[View Transitions](https://react.dev/reference/react/ViewTransition)**: Animate elements that update inside a Transition or navigation
* **[`useEffectEvent`](https://react.dev/reference/react/useEffectEvent)**: Extract non-reactive logic from Effects into reusable Effect Event functions
* **[Activity](https://react.dev/reference/react/Activity)**: Render "background activity" by hiding UI with `display: none` while maintaining state and cleaning up Effects

Learn more in the [React 19.2 announcement](https://react.dev/blog/2025/10/01/react-19-2).

## React Compiler Support

Built-in support for the React Compiler is now stable in **Next.js 16** following the React Compiler's 1.0 release. The React Compiler automatically memoizes components, reducing unnecessary re-renders with zero manual code changes.

The `reactCompiler` configuration option has been promoted from `experimental` to stable. It is not enabled by default as we continue gathering build performance data across different application types.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactCompiler: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Install the latest version of the React Compiler plugin:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm install -D babel-plugin-react-compiler
```

> **Good to know:** Expect compile times in development and during builds to be higher when enabling this option as the React Compiler relies on Babel.

## Caching APIs

### revalidateTag

[`revalidateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/revalidateTag.md) has a new function signature. You can pass a [`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md#reference) profile as the second argument.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateArticle(articleId: string) {
  // Mark article data as stale - article readers see stale data while it revalidates
  revalidateTag(`article-${articleId}`, 'max')
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { revalidateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateArticle(articleId) {
  // Mark article data as stale - article readers see stale data while it revalidates
  revalidateTag(`article-${articleId}`, 'max')
}
```

Use `revalidateTag` for content where a slight delay in updates is acceptable, such as blog posts, product catalogs, or documentation. Users receive stale content while fresh data loads in the background.

### updateTag

[`updateTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md) is a new [Server Actions](/docs/app/getting-started/updating-data.md#what-are-server-functions)-only API that provides **read-your-writes** semantics, where a user makes a change and the UI immediately shows the change, rather than stale data.

It does this by expiring and immediately refreshing data within the same request.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUserProfile(userId: string, profile: Profile) {
  await db.users.update(userId, profile)

  // Expire cache and refresh immediately - user sees their changes right away
  updateTag(`user-${userId}`)
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { updateTag } from 'next/cache'

export async function updateUserProfile(userId, profile) {
  await db.users.update(userId, profile)

  // Expire cache and refresh immediately - user sees their changes right away
  updateTag(`user-${userId}`)
}
```

This ensures interactive features reflect changes immediately. Perfect for forms, user settings, and any workflow where users expect to see their updates instantly.

Learn more about when to use `updateTag` or `revalidateTag` [here](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/updateTag.md#when-to-use-updatetag).

### refresh

[`refresh`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/refresh.md) allows you to refresh the client router from within a Server Action.

```ts filename="app/actions.ts" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function markNotificationAsRead(notificationId: string) {
  // Update the notification in the database
  await db.notifications.markAsRead(notificationId)

  // Refresh the notification count displayed in the header
  refresh()
}
```

```js filename="app/actions.js" switcher
'use server'

import { refresh } from 'next/cache'

export async function markNotificationAsRead(notificationId) {
  // Update the notification in the database
  await db.notifications.markAsRead(notificationId)

  // Refresh the notification count displayed in the header
  refresh()
}
```

Use it when you need to refresh the client router after performing an action.

### cacheLife and cacheTag

[`cacheLife`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheLife.md) and [`cacheTag`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/cacheTag.md) are now stable. The `unstable_` prefix is no longer needed.

Wherever you had aliased imports like:

```ts
import {
  unstable_cacheLife as cacheLife,
  unstable_cacheTag as cacheTag,
} from 'next/cache'
```

You can update your imports to:

```ts
import { cacheLife, cacheTag } from 'next/cache'
```

## Enhanced Routing and Navigation

**Next.js 16** includes a complete overhaul of the routing and navigation system, making page transitions leaner and faster. This optimizes how Next.js prefetches and caches navigation data:

* **Layout deduplication**: When prefetching multiple URLs with a shared layout, the layout is downloaded once.
* **Incremental prefetching**: Next.js only prefetches parts not already in cache, rather than entire pages.

These changes require **no code modifications** and are designed to improve performance across all apps.

However, you may see more individual prefetch requests with much lower total transfer sizes. We believe this is the right trade-off for nearly all applications.

If the increased request count causes issues, please let us know by creating an [issue](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues) or [discussion](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions) item.

## Partial Pre-Rendering (PPR)

**Next.js 16** removes the experimental **Partial Pre-Rendering (PPR)** flag and configuration options, including the route level segment `experimental_ppr`.

Starting with **Next.js 16**, you can opt into PPR using the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) configuration.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

PPR in **Next.js 16** works differently than in **Next.js 15** canaries. If you are using PPR today, stay in the current Next.js 15 canary you are using. We will follow up with a guide to migrate to Cache Components.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // If you are using PPR today
  // stay in the current Next.js 15 canary
  experimental: {
    ppr: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

## `middleware` to `proxy`

The `middleware` filename is deprecated, and has been renamed to `proxy` to clarify network boundary and routing focus.

The `edge` runtime is **NOT** supported in `proxy`. The `proxy` runtime is `nodejs`, and it cannot be configured. If you want to continue using the `edge` runtime, keep using `middleware`. We will follow up on a minor release with further `edge` runtime instructions.

```bash filename="Terminal"
# Rename your middleware file
mv middleware.ts proxy.ts
# or
mv middleware.js proxy.js
```

The named export `middleware` is also deprecated. Rename your function to `proxy`.

```ts filename="proxy.ts" switcher
export function proxy(request: Request) {}
```

```js filename="proxy.js" switcher
export function proxy(request) {}
```

We recommend changing the function name to `proxy`, even if you are using a default export.

Configuration flags that contained the `middleware` name are also renamed. For example, `skipMiddlewareUrlNormalize` is now `skipProxyUrlNormalize`

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  skipProxyUrlNormalize: true,
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  skipProxyUrlNormalize: true,
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

The version 16 [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods.md#160) is able to update these flags too.

## `next/image` changes

### Local Images with Query Strings (Breaking change)

Local image sources with query strings now require `images.localPatterns.search` configuration to prevent enumeration attacks.

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import Image from 'next/image'

export default function Page() {
  return <Image src="/assets/photo?v=1" alt="Photo" width="100" height="100" />
}
```

If you need to use query strings with local images, add the pattern to your configuration:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    localPatterns: [
      {
        pathname: '/assets/**',
        search: '?v=1',
      },
    ],
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    localPatterns: [
      {
        pathname: '/assets/**',
        search: '?v=1',
      },
    ],
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### `minimumCacheTTL` Default (Breaking change)

The default value for `images.minimumCacheTTL` has changed from `60 seconds` to `4 hours` (14400 seconds). This reduces revalidation cost for images without cache-control headers.

For some Next.js users, image revalidation was happening frequently, often because the upstream source images missed a `cache-control` header. This caused revalidation to happen every `60` seconds, which increased CPU usage and cost.

Since most images do not change often, this short interval is not ideal. Setting the default to 4 hours offers a more durable cache by default, while still allowing images to update a few times per day if needed.

If you need the previous behavior, change `minimumCacheTTL` to a lower value, for example back to `60` seconds:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 60,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    minimumCacheTTL: 60,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### `imageSizes` Default (Breaking change)

The value `16` has been removed from the default `images.imageSizes` array.

We have looked at request analytics and found out that very few projects ever serve 16 pixels width images. Removing this setting reduces the size of the `srcset` attribute shipped to the browser by `next/image`.

If you need to support 16px images:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Rather than lack of developer usage, we believe 16 pixels width images have become less common, because `devicePixelRatio: 2` actually fetches a 32px image to prevent blurriness in retina displays.

### `qualities` Default (Breaking change)

The default value for `images.qualities` has changed from allowing all qualities to only `[75]`.

If you need to support multiple quality levels:

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    qualities: [50, 75, 100],
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    qualities: [50, 75, 100],
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

If you specify a `quality` prop not included in the `image.qualities` array, the quality will be coerced to the closest value in `images.qualities`. For example, given the configuration above, a `quality` prop of 80, is coerced to 75.

### Local IP Restriction (Breaking change)

A new security restriction blocks local IP optimization by default. Set `images.dangerouslyAllowLocalIP` to `true` only for private networks.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowLocalIP: true, // Only for private networks
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    dangerouslyAllowLocalIP: true, // Only for private networks
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### Maximum Redirects (Breaking change)

The default for `images.maximumRedirects` has changed from unlimited to 3 redirects maximum.

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  images: {
    maximumRedirects: 0, // Disable redirects
    // or
    maximumRedirects: 5, // Increase for edge cases
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  images: {
    maximumRedirects: 0, // Disable redirects
    // or
    maximumRedirects: 5, // Increase for edge cases
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

### `next/legacy/image` Component (deprecated)

The `next/legacy/image` component is deprecated. Use `next/image` instead:

```tsx
// Before
import Image from 'next/legacy/image'

// After
import Image from 'next/image'
```

### `images.domains` Configuration (deprecated)

The `images.domains` config is deprecated.

```js filename="next.config.js"
// image.domains is deprecated
module.exports = {
  images: {
    domains: ['example.com'],
  },
}
```

Use `images.remotePatterns` instead for improved security:

```js filename="next.config.js"
// Use image.remotePatterns instead
module.exports = {
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'example.com',
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

## Concurrent `dev` and `build`

`next dev` and `next build` now use separate output directories, enabling concurrent execution. The `next dev` command outputs to `.next/dev`. This is the new default behavior, controlled by [isolatedDevBuild](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/isolatedDevBuild.md).

Additionally, a lockfile mechanism prevents multiple `next dev` or `next build` instances on the same project.

Since the development server outputs to `.next/dev`, the [Turbopack tracing command](/docs/app/guides/local-development.md#turbopack-tracing) should be:

```bash
npx next internal trace .next/dev/trace-turbopack
```

## Parallel Routes `default.js` requirement

All [parallel route](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/parallel-routes.md) slots now require explicit `default.js` files. Builds will fail without them.

To maintain previous behavior, create a [`default.js`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/default.md) file that calls `notFound()` or returns `null`.

```tsx filename="app/@modal/default.tsx"
import { notFound } from 'next/navigation'

export default function Default() {
  notFound()
}
```

Or return `null`:

```tsx filename="app/@modal/default.tsx"
export default function Default() {
  return null
}
```

## ESLint Flat Config

`@next/eslint-plugin-next` now defaults to ESLint Flat Config format, aligning with ESLint v10 which will drop legacy config support.

Make sure to review our API reference for the [`@next/eslint-plugin-next`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/eslint.md#setup-eslint) plugin.

If you're using the legacy `.eslintrc` format, consider migrating to the flat config format. See the [ESLint migration guide](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/migration-guide) for details.

## Scroll Behavior Override

In **previous versions of Next.js**, if you had set `scroll-behavior: smooth` globally on your `<html>` element via CSS, Next.js would override this during SPA route transitions, as follows:

1. Temporarily set `scroll-behavior` to `auto`
2. Perform the navigation (causing instant scroll to top)
3. Restore your original `scroll-behavior` value

This ensured that page navigation always felt snappy and instant, even when you had smooth scrolling enabled for in-page navigation. However, this manipulation could be expensive, especially at the start of every navigation.

In **Next.js 16**, this behavior has changed. By default, Next.js will **no longer override** your `scroll-behavior` setting during navigation.

**If you want Next.js to perform this override** (the previous default behavior), add the `data-scroll-behavior="smooth"` attribute to your `<html>` element:

```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx"
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" data-scroll-behavior="smooth">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}
```

## Performance Improvements

Significant performance optimizations for `next dev` and `next start` commands, along with improved terminal output with clearer formatting, better error messages, and improved performance metrics.

**Next.js 16** removes the `size` and `First Load JS` metrics from the `next build` output. We found these to be inaccurate in server-driven architectures using React Server Components. Both our Turbopack and Webpack implementations had issues, and disagreed on how to account for Client Components payload.

The most effective way to measure actual route performance is through tools such as [Chrome Lighthouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview) or Vercel Analytics, which focus on Core Web Vitals and downloaded resource sizes.

### `next dev` config load

In previous versions the Next config file was loaded twice during development:

* When running the `next dev` command
* When the `next dev` command started the Next.js server

This was inefficient because the `next dev` command doesn't need the config file to start the Next.js server.

A consequence of this change is that, when running `next dev` checking if `process.argv` includes `'dev'`, in your Next.js config file, will return `false`.

> **Good to know**: The `typegen`, and `build` commands, are still visible in `process.argv`.

This is specially important for plugins that trigger side-effects on `next dev`. If that's the case, it might be enough to check if `NODE_ENV` is set to `development`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
import { startServer } from 'docs-lib/dev-server'

const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

if (isDev) {
  startServer()
}

const nextConfig = {
  /* Your config options */
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Alternatively, use the [`phase`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js.md#phase) in which the configuration is loaded.

## Build Adapters API (alpha)

Following the [Build Adapters RFC](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/77740), the first alpha version of the Build Adapters API is now available.

Build Adapters allow you to create custom adapters that hook into the build process, enabling deployment platforms and custom build integrations to modify Next.js configuration or process build output.

```js filename="next.config.js"
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    adapterPath: require.resolve('./my-adapter.js'),
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

Share your feedback in the [RFC discussion](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/77740).

## Modern Sass API

`sass-loader` has been bumped to v16, which supports [modern Sass syntax](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api/#md:usage) and new features.

## Removals

These features were previously deprecated and are now removed:

### AMP Support

AMP adoption has declined significantly, and maintaining this feature adds complexity to the framework. All AMP APIs and configurations have been removed:

* `amp` configuration from your Next config file
* `next/amp` hook imports and usage (`useAmp`)

```tsx
// Removed
import { useAmp } from 'next/amp'

// Removed
export const config = { amp: true }
```

* `export const config = { amp: true }` from pages

```js filename="next.config.js"
const nextConfig = {
  // Removed
  amp: {
    canonicalBase: 'https://example.com',
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

Evaluate if AMP is still necessary for your use case. Most performance benefits can now be achieved through Next.js's built-in optimizations and modern web standards.

### `next lint` Command

The `next lint` command has been removed. Use Biome or ESLint directly. `next build` no longer runs linting.

A codemod is available to automate migration:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli .
```

The `eslint` option in the Next.js config file is also removed.

```js filename="next.config.mjs"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // No longer supported
  // eslint: {},
}

export default nextConfig
```

### Runtime Configuration

`serverRuntimeConfig` and `publicRuntimeConfig` have been removed. Use environment variables instead.

**Before (Next.js 15):**

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  serverRuntimeConfig: {
    dbUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
  },
  publicRuntimeConfig: {
    apiUrl: '/api',
  },
}
```

```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx"
import getConfig from 'next/config'

export default function Page() {
  const { publicRuntimeConfig } = getConfig()
  return <p>API URL: {publicRuntimeConfig.apiUrl}</p>
}
```

**After (Next.js 16):**

For server-only values, access environment variables directly in Server Components:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
async function fetchData() {
  const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL
  // Use for server-side operations only
  return await db.query(dbUrl, 'SELECT * FROM users')
}

export default async function Page() {
  const data = await fetchData()
  return <div>{/* render data */}</div>
}
```

> **Good to know**: Use the [taint API](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/taint.md) to prevent accidentally passing sensitive server values to Client Components.

For client-accessible values, use the `NEXT_PUBLIC_` prefix:

```bash filename=".env.local"
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL="/api"
```

```tsx filename="app/components/client-component.tsx"
'use client'

export default function ClientComponent() {
  const apiUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
  return <p>API URL: {apiUrl}</p>
}
```

To ensure environment variables are read at runtime (not bundled at build time), use the [`connection()`](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/connection.md) function before reading from `process.env`:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx"
import { connection } from 'next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  await connection()
  const config = process.env.RUNTIME_CONFIG
  return <p>{config}</p>
}
```

Learn more about [environment variables](/docs/app/guides/environment-variables.md).

### `devIndicators` Options

The following options have been removed from [`devIndicators`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/devIndicators.md):

* `appIsrStatus`
* `buildActivity`
* `buildActivityPosition`

The indicator itself remains available.

### `experimental.dynamicIO`

The `experimental.dynamicIO` flag has been renamed to `cacheComponents`:

Update your Next config file, by removing the `dynamicIO` flag.

```js filename="next.config.js"
// Next.js 15 - experimental.dynamicIO is now removed
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    dynamicIO: true,
  },
}
```

Add the [`cacheComponents`](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents.md) flag set to true.

```js filename="next.config.js"
// Next.js 16 - use cacheComponents instead
module.exports = {
  cacheComponents: true,
}
```

### `unstable_rootParams`

The `unstable_rootParams` function has been removed. We are working on an alternative API that we will ship in an upcoming minor release.

# Source: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/guides/upgrading/version-9.md

# How to upgrade to version 9


To upgrade to version 9, run the following command:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm i next@9
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn add next@9
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
pnpm up next@9
```

```bash filename="Terminal"
bun add next@9
```

> **Good to know:** If you are using TypeScript, ensure you also upgrade `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` to their corresponding versions.

## Check your Custom App File (`pages/_app.js`)

If you previously copied the [Custom `<App>`](/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/custom-app.md) example, you may be able to remove your `getInitialProps`.

Removing `getInitialProps` from `pages/_app.js` (when possible) is important to leverage new Next.js features!

The following `getInitialProps` does nothing and may be removed:

```js
class MyApp extends App {
  // Remove me, I do nothing!
  static async getInitialProps({ Component, ctx }) {
    let pageProps = {}

    if (Component.getInitialProps) {
      pageProps = await Component.getInitialProps(ctx)
    }

    return { pageProps }
  }

  render() {
    // ... etc
  }
}
```

## Breaking Changes

### `@zeit/next-typescript` is no longer necessary

Next.js will now ignore usage `@zeit/next-typescript` and warn you to remove it. Please remove this plugin from your `next.config.js`.

Remove references to `@zeit/next-typescript/babel` from your custom `.babelrc` (if present).

The usage of [`fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin`](https://github.com/Realytics/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin/issues) should also be removed from your `next.config.js`.

TypeScript Definitions are published with the `next` package, so you need to uninstall `@types/next` as they would conflict.

The following types are different:

> This list was created by the community to help you upgrade, if you find other differences please send a pull-request to this list to help other users.

From:

```tsx
import { NextContext } from 'next'
import { NextAppContext, DefaultAppIProps } from 'next/app'
import { NextDocumentContext, DefaultDocumentIProps } from 'next/document'
```

to

```tsx
import { NextPageContext } from 'next'
import { AppContext, AppInitialProps } from 'next/app'
import { DocumentContext, DocumentInitialProps } from 'next/document'
```

### The `config` key is now an export on a page

You may no longer export a custom variable named `config` from a page (i.e. `export { config }` / `export const config ...`).
This exported variable is now used to specify page-level Next.js configuration like Opt-in AMP and API Route features.

You must rename a non-Next.js-purposed `config` export to something different.

### `next/dynamic` no longer renders "loading..." by default while loading

Dynamic components will not render anything by default while loading. You can still customize this behavior by setting the `loading` property:

```jsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const DynamicComponentWithCustomLoading = dynamic(
  () => import('../components/hello2'),
  {
    loading: () => <p>Loading</p>,
  }
)
```

### `withAmp` has been removed in favor of an exported configuration object

Next.js now has the concept of page-level configuration, so the `withAmp` higher-order component has been removed for consistency.

This change can be **automatically migrated by running the following commands in the root of your Next.js project:**

```bash filename="Terminal"
curl -L https://github.com/vercel/next-codemod/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip=2 next-codemod-master/transforms/withamp-to-config.js npx jscodeshift -t ./withamp-to-config.js pages/**/*.js
```

To perform this migration by hand, or view what the codemod will produce, see below:

**Before**

```jsx
import { withAmp } from 'next/amp'

function Home() {
  return <h1>My AMP Page</h1>
}

export default withAmp(Home)
// or
export default withAmp(Home, { hybrid: true })
```

**After**

```jsx
export default function Home() {
  return <h1>My AMP Page</h1>
}

export const config = {
  amp: true,
  // or
  amp: 'hybrid',
}
```

### `next export` no longer exports pages as `index.html`

Previously, exporting `pages/about.js` would result in `out/about/index.html`. This behavior has been changed to result in `out/about.html`.

You can revert to the previous behavior by creating a `next.config.js` with the following content:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  trailingSlash: true,
}
```

### `pages/api/` is treated differently

Pages in `pages/api/` are now considered [API Routes](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-9#api-routes).
Pages in this directory will no longer contain a client-side bundle.

## Deprecated Features

### `next/dynamic` has deprecated loading multiple modules at once

The ability to load multiple modules at once has been deprecated in `next/dynamic` to be closer to React's implementation (`React.lazy` and `Suspense`).

Updating code that relies on this behavior is relatively straightforward! We've provided an example of a before/after to help you migrate your application:

**Before**

```jsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const HelloBundle = dynamic({
  modules: () => {
    const components = {
      Hello1: () => import('../components/hello1').then((m) => m.default),
      Hello2: () => import('../components/hello2').then((m) => m.default),
    }

    return components
  },
  render: (props, { Hello1, Hello2 }) => (
    <div>
      <h1>{props.title}</h1>
      <Hello1 />
      <Hello2 />
    </div>
  ),
})

function DynamicBundle() {
  return <HelloBundle title="Dynamic Bundle" />
}

export default DynamicBundle
```

**After**

```jsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const Hello1 = dynamic(() => import('../components/hello1'))
const Hello2 = dynamic(() => import('../components/hello2'))

function HelloBundle({ title }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <Hello1 />
      <Hello2 />
    </div>
  )
}

function DynamicBundle() {
  return <HelloBundle title="Dynamic Bundle" />
}

export default DynamicBundle
```

# How to use and optimize videos
@doc-version: 16.0.4


This page outlines how to use videos with Next.js applications, showing how to store and display video files without affecting performance.

## Using `<video>` and `<iframe>`

Videos can be embedded on the page using the HTML **`<video>`** tag for direct video files and **`<iframe>`** for external platform-hosted videos.

### `<video>`

The HTML [`<video>`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video) tag can embed self-hosted or directly served video content, allowing full control over the playback and appearance.

```jsx filename="app/ui/video.jsx"
export function Video() {
  return (
    <video width="320" height="240" controls preload="none">
      <source src="/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
      <track
        src="/path/to/captions.vtt"
        kind="subtitles"
        srcLang="en"
        label="English"
      />
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
  )
}
```

### Common `<video>` tag attributes

| Attribute     | Description                                                                                               | Example Value                        |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `src`         | Specifies the source of the video file.                                                                   | `<video src="/path/to/video.mp4" />` |
| `width`       | Sets the width of the video player.                                                                       | `<video width="320" />`              |
| `height`      | Sets the height of the video player.                                                                      | `<video height="240" />`             |
| `controls`    | If present, it displays the default set of playback controls.                                             | `<video controls />`                 |
| `autoPlay`    | Automatically starts playing the video when the page loads. Note: Autoplay policies vary across browsers. | `<video autoPlay />`                 |
| `loop`        | Loops the video playback.                                                                                 | `<video loop />`                     |
| `muted`       | Mutes the audio by default. Often used with `autoPlay`.                                                   | `<video muted />`                    |
| `preload`     | Specifies how the video is preloaded. Values: `none`, `metadata`, `auto`.                                 | `<video preload="none" />`           |
| `playsInline` | Enables inline playback on iOS devices, often necessary for autoplay to work on iOS Safari.               | `<video playsInline />`              |

> **Good to know**: When using the `autoPlay` attribute, it is important to also include the `muted` attribute to ensure the video plays automatically in most browsers and the `playsInline` attribute for compatibility with iOS devices.

For a comprehensive list of video attributes, refer to the [MDN documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video#attributes).

### Video best practices

* **Fallback Content:** When using the `<video>` tag, include fallback content inside the tag for browsers that do not support video playback.
* **Subtitles or Captions:** Include subtitles or captions for users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Utilize the [`<track>`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/track) tag with your `<video>` elements to specify caption file sources.
* **Accessible Controls:** Standard HTML5 video controls are recommended for keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility. For advanced needs, consider third-party players like [react-player](https://github.com/cookpete/react-player) or [video.js](https://videojs.com/), which offer accessible controls and consistent browser experience.

### `<iframe>`

The HTML `<iframe>` tag allows you to embed videos from external platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx"
export default function Page() {
  return (
    <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/19g66ezsKAg" allowFullScreen />
  )
}
```

### Common `<iframe>` tag attributes

| Attribute         | Description                                                            | Example Value                          |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `src`             | The URL of the page to embed.                                          | `<iframe src="https://example.com" />` |
| `width`           | Sets the width of the iframe.                                          | `<iframe width="500" />`               |
| `height`          | Sets the height of the iframe.                                         | `<iframe height="300" />`              |
| `allowFullScreen` | Allows the iframe content to be displayed in full-screen mode.         | `<iframe allowFullScreen />`           |
| `sandbox`         | Enables an extra set of restrictions on the content within the iframe. | `<iframe sandbox />`                   |
| `loading`         | Optimize loading behavior (e.g., lazy loading).                        | `<iframe loading="lazy" />`            |
| `title`           | Provides a title for the iframe to support accessibility.              | `<iframe title="Description" />`       |

For a comprehensive list of iframe attributes, refer to the [MDN documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe#attributes).

### Choosing a video embedding method

There are two ways you can embed videos in your Next.js application:

* **Self-hosted or direct video files:** Embed self-hosted videos using the `<video>` tag for scenarios requiring detailed control over the player's functionality and appearance. This integration method within Next.js allows for customization and control of your video content.
* **Using video hosting services (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.):** For video hosting services like YouTube or Vimeo, you'll embed their iframe-based players using the `<iframe>` tag. While this method limits some control over the player, it offers ease of use and features provided by these platforms.

Choose the embedding method that aligns with your application's requirements and the user experience you aim to deliver.

### Embedding externally hosted videos

To embed videos from external platforms, you can use Next.js to fetch the video information and React Suspense to handle the fallback state while loading.

**1. Create a Server Component for video embedding**

The first step is to create a [Server Component](/docs/app/getting-started/server-and-client-components.md) that generates the appropriate iframe for embedding the video. This component will fetch the source URL for the video and render the iframe.

```jsx filename="app/ui/video-component.jsx"
export default async function VideoComponent() {
  const src = await getVideoSrc()

  return <iframe src={src} allowFullScreen />
}
```

**2. Stream the video component using React Suspense**

After creating the Server Component to embed the video, the next step is to [stream](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/loading.md) the component using [React Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense).

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import VideoComponent from '../ui/VideoComponent.jsx'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <section>
      <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading video...</p>}>
        <VideoComponent />
      </Suspense>
      {/* Other content of the page */}
    </section>
  )
}
```

> **Good to know**: When embedding videos from external platforms, consider the following best practices:
>
> * Ensure the video embeds are responsive. Use CSS to make the iframe or video player adapt to different screen sizes.
> * Implement [strategies for loading videos](https://yoast.com/site-speed-tips-for-faster-video/) based on network conditions, especially for users with limited data plans.

This approach results in a better user experience as it prevents the page from blocking, meaning the user can interact with the page while the video component streams in.

For a more engaging and informative loading experience, consider using a loading skeleton as the fallback UI. So instead of showing a simple loading message, you can show a skeleton that resembles the video player like this:

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import VideoComponent from '../ui/VideoComponent.jsx'
import VideoSkeleton from '../ui/VideoSkeleton.jsx'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <section>
      <Suspense fallback={<VideoSkeleton />}>
        <VideoComponent />
      </Suspense>
      {/* Other content of the page */}
    </section>
  )
}
```

## Self-hosted videos

Self-hosting videos may be preferable for several reasons:

* **Complete control and independence**: Self-hosting gives you direct management over your video content, from playback to appearance, ensuring full ownership and control, free from external platform constraints.
* **Customization for specific needs**: Ideal for unique requirements, like dynamic background videos, it allows for tailored customization to align with design and functional needs.
* **Performance and scalability considerations**: Choose storage solutions that are both high-performing and scalable, to support increasing traffic and content size effectively.
* **Cost and integration**: Balance the costs of storage and bandwidth with the need for easy integration into your Next.js framework and broader tech ecosystem.

### Using Vercel Blob for video hosting

[Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website) offers an efficient way to host videos, providing a scalable cloud storage solution that works well with Next.js. Here's how you can host a video using Vercel Blob:

**1. Uploading a video to Vercel Blob**

In your Vercel dashboard, navigate to the "Storage" tab and select your [Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website) store. In the Blob table's upper-right corner, find and click the "Upload" button. Then, choose the video file you wish to upload. After the upload completes, the video file will appear in the Blob table.

Alternatively, you can upload your video using a server action. For detailed instructions, refer to the Vercel documentation on [server-side uploads](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/server-upload). Vercel also supports [client-side uploads](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/client-upload). This method may be preferable for certain use cases.

**2. Displaying the video in Next.js**

Once the video is uploaded and stored, you can display it in your Next.js application. Here's an example of how to do this using the `<video>` tag and React Suspense:

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx"
import { Suspense } from 'react'
import { list } from '@vercel/blob'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading video...</p>}>
      <VideoComponent fileName="my-video.mp4" />
    </Suspense>
  )
}

async function VideoComponent({ fileName }) {
  const { blobs } = await list({
    prefix: fileName,
    limit: 1,
  })
  const { url } = blobs[0]

  return (
    <video controls preload="none" aria-label="Video player">
      <source src={url} type="video/mp4" />
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
  )
}
```

In this approach, the page uses the video's `@vercel/blob` URL to display the video using the `VideoComponent`. React Suspense is used to show a fallback until the video URL is fetched and the video is ready to be displayed.

### Adding subtitles to your video

If you have subtitles for your video, you can easily add them using the `<track>` element inside your `<video>` tag. You can fetch the subtitle file from [Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website) in a similar way as the video file. Here's how you can update the `<VideoComponent>` to include subtitles.

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx"
async function VideoComponent({ fileName }) {
  const { blobs } = await list({
    prefix: fileName,
    limit: 2,
  })
  const { url } = blobs[0]
  const { url: captionsUrl } = blobs[1]

  return (
    <video controls preload="none" aria-label="Video player">
      <source src={url} type="video/mp4" />
      <track src={captionsUrl} kind="subtitles" srcLang="en" label="English" />
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
  )
}
```

By following this approach, you can effectively self-host and integrate videos into your Next.js applications.

To continue learning more about video optimization and best practices, please refer to the following resources:

* **Understanding video formats and codecs**: Choose the right format and codec, like MP4 for compatibility or WebM for web optimization, for your video needs. For more details, see [Mozilla's guide on video codecs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Video_codecs).
* **Video compression**: Use tools like FFmpeg to effectively compress videos, balancing quality with file size. Learn about compression techniques at [FFmpeg's official website](https://www.ffmpeg.org/).
* **Resolution and bitrate adjustment**: Adjust [resolution and bitrate](https://www.dacast.com/blog/bitrate-vs-resolution/#:~:text=The%20two%20measure%20different%20aspects,yield%20different%20qualities%20of%20video) based on the viewing platform, with lower settings for mobile devices.
* **Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)**: Utilize a CDN to enhance video delivery speed and manage high traffic. When using some storage solutions, such as Vercel Blob, CDN functionality is automatically handled for you. [Learn more](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/overview?utm_source=next-site\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=next-website) about CDNs and their benefits.

# viewTransition
@doc-version: 16.0.4



> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

`viewTransition` is an experimental flag that enables the new [View Transitions API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transition_API) in React. This API allows you to leverage the native View Transitions browser API to create seamless transitions between UI states.

To enable this feature, you need to set the `viewTransition` property to `true` in your `next.config.js` file.

```js filename="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    viewTransition: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```

> Important Notice: The `<ViewTransition>` Component is already available in React's Canary release channel.
> `experimental.viewTransition` is only required to enable deeper integration with Next.js features e.g. automatically
> [adding Transition types](https://react.dev/reference/react/addTransitionType) for navigations. Next.js specific transition types are not implemented yet.

## Usage

You can import the [`<ViewTransition>` Component](https://react.dev/reference/react/ViewTransition) from React in your application:

```jsx
import { ViewTransition } from 'react'
```

### Live Demo

Check out our [Next.js View Transition Demo](https://view-transition-example.vercel.app) to see this feature in action.

As this API evolves, we will update our documentation and share more examples. However, for now, we strongly advise against using this feature in production.

# How to set up Vitest with Next.js
@doc-version: 16.0.4


Vitest and React Testing Library are frequently used together for **Unit Testing**. This guide will show you how to setup Vitest with Next.js and write your first tests.

> **Good to know:** Since `async` Server Components are new to the React ecosystem, Vitest currently does not support them. While you can still run **unit tests** for synchronous Server and Client Components, we recommend using **E2E tests** for `async` components.

## Quickstart

You can use `create-next-app` with the Next.js [with-vitest](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-vitest) example to quickly get started:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npx create-next-app@latest --example with-vitest with-vitest-app
```

## Manual Setup

To manually set up Vitest, install `vitest` and the following packages as dev dependencies:

```bash filename="Terminal"
# Using TypeScript
npm install -D vitest @vitejs/plugin-react jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom vite-tsconfig-paths
# Using JavaScript
npm install -D vitest @vitejs/plugin-react jsdom @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom
```

Create a `vitest.config.mts|js` file in the root of your project, and add the following options:

```ts filename="vitest.config.mts" switcher
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import tsconfigPaths from 'vite-tsconfig-paths'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [tsconfigPaths(), react()],
  test: {
    environment: 'jsdom',
  },
})
```

```js filename="vitest.config.js" switcher
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  test: {
    environment: 'jsdom',
  },
})
```

For more information on configuring Vitest, please refer to the [Vitest Configuration](https://vitest.dev/config/#configuration) docs.

Then, add a `test` script to your `package.json`:

```json filename="package.json"
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "test": "vitest"
  }
}
```

When you run `npm run test`, Vitest will **watch** for changes in your project by default.

## Creating your first Vitest Unit Test

Check that everything is working by creating a test to check if the `<Page />` component successfully renders a heading:

```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```jsx filename="app/page.jsx" switcher
import Link from 'next/link'

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Home</h1>
      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
    </div>
  )
}
```

```tsx filename="__tests__/page.test.tsx" switcher
import { expect, test } from 'vitest'
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import Page from '../app/page'

test('Page', () => {
  render(<Page />)
  expect(screen.getByRole('heading', { level: 1, name: 'Home' })).toBeDefined()
})
```

```jsx filename="__tests__/page.test.jsx" switcher
import { expect, test } from 'vitest'
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import Page from '../app/page'

test('Page', () => {
  render(<Page />)
  expect(screen.getByRole('heading', { level: 1, name: 'Home' })).toBeDefined()
})
```

> **Good to know**: The example above uses the common `__tests__` convention, but test files can also be colocated inside the `app` router.

## Running your tests

Then, run the following command to run your tests:

```bash filename="Terminal"
npm run test
# or
yarn test
# or
pnpm test
# or
bun test
```

> This feature is currently experimental and subject to change, it is not recommended for production.

When debugging issues related to Web Vitals, it is often helpful if we can pinpoint the source of the problem.
For example, in the case of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), we might want to know the first element that shifted when the single largest layout shift occurred.
Or, in the case of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), we might want to identify the element corresponding to the LCP for the page.
If the LCP element is an image, knowing the URL of the image resource can help us locate the asset we need to optimize.

Pinpointing the biggest contributor to the Web Vitals score, aka [attribution](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/web-vitals/blob/4ca38ae64b8d1e899028c692f94d4c56acfc996c/README.md#attribution),
allows us to obtain more in-depth information like entries for [PerformanceEventTiming](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/PerformanceEventTiming), [PerformanceNavigationTiming](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/PerformanceNavigationTiming) and [PerformanceResourceTiming](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/PerformanceResourceTiming).

Attribution is disabled by default in Next.js but can be enabled **per metric** by specifying the following in `next.config.js`.

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    webVitalsAttribution: ['CLS', 'LCP'],
  },
}
```

Valid attribution values are all `web-vitals` metrics specified in the [`NextWebVitalsMetric`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/442378d21dd56d6e769863eb8c2cb521a463a2e0/packages/next/shared/lib/utils.ts#L43) type.

# Custom Webpack Config
@doc-version: 16.0.4


> **Good to know**: changes to webpack config are not covered by semver so proceed at your own risk

Before continuing to add custom webpack configuration to your application make sure Next.js doesn't already support your use-case:

* [CSS imports](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md)
* [CSS modules](/docs/app/getting-started/css.md#css-modules)
* [Sass/SCSS imports](/docs/app/guides/sass.md)
* [Sass/SCSS modules](/docs/app/guides/sass.md)

Some commonly asked for features are available as plugins:

* [@next/mdx](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-mdx)
* [@next/bundle-analyzer](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-bundle-analyzer)

In order to extend our usage of `webpack`, you can define a function that extends its config inside `next.config.js`, like so:

```js filename="next.config.js"
module.exports = {
  webpack: (
    config,
    { buildId, dev, isServer, defaultLoaders, nextRuntime, webpack }
  ) => {
    // Important: return the modified config
    return config
  },
}
```

> The `webpack` function is executed three times, twice for the server (nodejs / edge runtime) and once for the client. This allows you to distinguish between client and server configuration using the `isServer` property.

The second argument to the `webpack` function is an object with the following properties:

* `buildId`: `String` - The build id, used as a unique identifier between builds.
* `dev`: `Boolean` - Indicates if the compilation will be done in development.
* `isServer`: `Boolean` - It's `true` for server-side compilation, and `false` for client-side compilation.
* `nextRuntime`: `String | undefined` - The target runtime for server-side compilation; either `"edge"` or `"nodejs"`, it's `undefined` for client-side compilation.
* `defaultLoaders`: `Object` - Default loaders used internally by Next.js:
  * `babel`: `Object` - Default `babel-loader` configuration.

Example usage of `defaultLoaders.babel`:

```js
// Example config for adding a loader that depends on babel-loader
// This source was taken from the @next/mdx plugin source:
// https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-mdx
module.exports = {
  webpack: (config, options) => {
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.mdx/,
      use: [
        options.defaultLoaders.babel,
        {
          loader: '@mdx-js/loader',
          options: pluginOptions.options,
        },
      ],
    })

    return config
  },
}
```

#### `nextRuntime`

Notice that `isServer` is `true` when `nextRuntime` is `"edge"` or `"nodejs"`, `nextRuntime` `"edge"` is currently for proxy and Server Components in edge runtime only.
