Here is the 9 popular Next.js tricks you may need to know.
1. 💨 Fast Page Loads with Static Generation
Pre-render pages at build time using getStaticProps to ensure your site loads super fast.
2. 🔄 Dynamic Routing
Create dynamic routes by using square brackets in your file names, like [id].js, for flexible and clean URLs.
3. 📦 API Routes for Backend Logic
Build API endpoints directly in your Next.js app using the pages/api directory, no need for a separate backend server!
4. 📚 Prefetch Links for Better UX
Use Next.js Link component to automatically prefetch linked pages, making navigation feel instant.
5. 🌐 Custom Head Elements
Use the Head component from Next.js to easily add SEO-friendly meta tags, titles, and scripts to your pages.
6. 📅 Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
Update static pages after deployment without rebuilding the whole site by setting a revalidate time in getStaticProps.
7.💻 SSR with getServerSideProps
Fetch data at request time for each page using getServerSideProps when you need server-side rendering.
8. 🎨 Custom App for Global Styles
Apply global CSS and maintain layout across pages by customizing _app.js to wrap your entire app with common components.
9. 🌍 Internationalized Routing
Easily add multi-language support to your site by enabling internationalized routing and configuring languages in next.config.js.
