Create a Page
Create page pages\blank.js
function Blank() {
export function MyPage() {
return(
Hello!
)
}
export default Blank;
Routing
The Next.js router allows you to do client-side route transitions between pages, similar to a single-page application
A React component called Link is provided to do this client-side route transition.
import Link from 'next/link'
function Home() {
return(
)
}
export default Home;
In the example above we have multiple links, each one maps a path (href) to a known page:
- / → pages/index.js
- /about → pages/about.js
- /blog/hello-world → pages/blog/[slug].js
Any in the viewport (initially or through scroll) will be prefetched by default (including the corresponding data) for pages using Static Generation. The corresponding data for server-rendered routes is not prefetched.
Deployment
If you haven’t already done so, push your Next.js app to a Git provider of your choice: GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket. Your repository can be private or public.
Then, follow these steps:
- Sign up to Vercel (no credit card is required).
- After signing up, you’ll arrive on the “Import Project” page. Under “From Git Repository”, choose the Git provider you use and set up an integration. (Instructions: GitHub / GitLab / BitBucket).
- Once that’s set up, click “Import Project From …” and import your Next.js app. It auto-detects that your app is using Next.js and sets up the build configuration for you. No need to change anything — everything should work just fine!
- After importing, it’ll deploy your Next.js app and provide you with a deployment URL
