Learn how to get started with the Next.js JavaScript framework. Through building a full-stack recipe app with Next.js, Sanity.io, and Vercel, you will learn how to set up dynamic routing, pre-render, pull content from external APIs, set up serverless functions, offer real-time content previews, and deploy your app on the web.
Next.js has the best-in-class “Developer Experience” and many built-in features; a sample of them are:
- An intuitive page-based routing system (with support for dynamic routes)
- Pre-rendering, both static generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR) are supported on a per-page basis
- Automatic code splitting for faster page loads
- Client-side routing with optimized prefetching
- Built-in CSS and Sass support, and support for any CSS-in-JS library
- Development environment with Fast Refresh support
- API routes to build API endpoints with Serverless Functions
- Fully extendable
- Next.js is used in tens of thousands of production-facing websites and web applications, including many of the world’s largest brands.
