If you already know React, you can be productive in minutes. This tutorial walks through the essential steps to build and ship your first Next.js app.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Install and Start a Project<\/h2>\n<p>Run <code>npx create-next-app@latest my-app<\/code> and follow the prompts to enable TypeScript, Tailwind, and the App Router. Then <code>cd my-app<\/code> and <code>npm run dev<\/code> to launch the dev server at localhost:3000.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/via.placeholder.com\/800x600\/4a90d9\/ffffff?text=how%20to%20use%20Next.js\" alt=\"Article illustration\" style=\"display:block;margin:20px auto;max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Learn File-Based Routing<\/h2>\n<p>Every folder inside <code>app\/<\/code> becomes a route. Create <code>app\/about\/page.tsx<\/code> and visit \/about \u2014 no router configuration needed. Dynamic segments use brackets, such as <code>app\/blog\/[slug]\/page.tsx<\/code>.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Fetch Data in Server Components<\/h2>\n<p>Components are server-rendered by default, so you can fetch data directly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <code>async<\/code> components with <code>await fetch()<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Add <code>\"use client\"<\/code> only for hooks and event handlers<\/li>\n<li>Cache with <code>fetch(url, { next: { revalidate: 60 } })<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Add API Routes and Deploy<\/h2>\n<p>Create <code>app\/api\/hello\/route.ts<\/code> to export a GET handler. When ready, push to GitHub and deploy on Vercel with zero configuration \u2014 it detects Next.js automatically.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Start small: one page, one route, one fetch. Once routing and server components click, the rest of Next.js \u2014 middleware, caching, image optimization \u2014 becomes easy to layer on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use Next.js: A Beginner&#8217;s Tutorial for Modern React Apps Next.js is a React framework that adds routing, server-side rendering, and API routes out of the box.
