    Study Notes

    Server-side Rendering

    • Next.js provides built-in support for server-side rendering (SSR)
    • SSR allows for faster page loads and improved SEO
    • Next.js uses a Node.js server to pre-render pages on the server
    • Pre-rendered pages are then sent to the client, where they can be hydrated and become interactive
    • SSR is enabled by default in Next.js, but can be disabled with the target option in next.config.js

    Static Site Generation

    • Next.js provides built-in support for static site generation (SSG)
    • SSG allows for fast and efficient deployment of static sites
    • Next.js uses a build process to generate static HTML files for each page
    • Static HTML files are then served directly by a web server, without the need for a Node.js server
    • SSG can be enabled with the getStaticProps method in page components

    React Hooks

    • Next.js supports React Hooks, which allow for state and side effects in functional components
    • React Hooks can be used to manage state, fetch data, and handle side effects in Next.js pages
    • Next.js provides built-in support for React Hooks, including useState, useEffect, and useContext
    • React Hooks can be used to simplify code and improve performance in Next.js applications

    API Routes

    • Next.js provides built-in support for API routes, which allow for server-side APIs to be created
    • API routes can be used to handle data fetching, authentication, and other server-side tasks
    • API routes are defined using the api directory in the Next.js project root
    • API routes can be used to create RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, and other types of server-side APIs

    Internationalization

    • Next.js provides built-in support for internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n)
    • i18n and L10n allow for the creation of multilingual websites and applications
    • Next.js uses the intl plugin to provide i18n and L10n support
    • i18n and L10n can be configured using the next.config.js file and the intl plugin
    • Next.js provides built-in support for formatting dates, numbers, and currencies, as well as translating text and formatting messages.

    Server-side Rendering

    API Routes

    • Next.js provides built-in support for API routes, enabling server-side APIs to be created.
    • API routes can be used to handle data fetching, authentication, and other server-side tasks.
    • API routes are defined using the api directory in the Next.js project root.
    • API routes can be used to create RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, and other types of server-side APIs.

    Internationalization

    • Next.js provides built-in support for internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) to create multilingual websites and applications.
    • i18n and L10n support is provided through the intl plugin.
