Next.js
Published Updated
What is Next.js?
A full-stack React framework built by Vercel that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and powerful routing out of the box.
Next.js solves the SEO and performance issues of standard React single-page applications. It allows developers to render React components on the server before sending HTML to the browser. It features a file-system-based router and integrates directly with serverless backend APIs, making it the industry standard for production React apps.
How it relates to Orbit
Orbit can register a Next.js repository as a project and offer its package.json development command in the Servers tab. See Project Window for details.
