Next.js allows you to deploy web applications with dynamic server-side and client-side rendering.

It also supports static site generation which allows you to build a website and serve it from a file server of your choice.

==Server and Client Rendering==

Next.js supports server-side rendering and client-side rendering on a per-page level.

Per-component level is under development in beta.

By default your pages will be statically rendered on the server at build time.<br>

To add properties or data to your page while keeping it static, i.e. at build time, use <code>getStaticProps</code>.

To add properties or data to your page dynamically, i.e. at request time, use <code>getServerSideProps</code>.

Individual components may have dynamic properties loaded automatically using <code>getInitialProps</code>.

However, this needs to be able to run on the server or the client, best done by sending a request to an external API.<br>

Alternatively, you can directly [https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/ import json or assets] in your code using webpack to embed static data into your program.

===Environment variables===

https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/environment-variables<br>

https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/environment-variables<br>

Enviromnent variables are loaded from your enviroment, <code>.env.local</code>, and <code>.env</code>.

You can also use <code>.env.development</code> and <code>.env.production</code> to store overrides to <code>.env</code>.

Environment variables can be read from <code>process.env</code> on the server (i.e. in getStaticProps and getServerSideProps). If you want to read enviroment variables elsewhere in your code, variables can be made public by using prefix <code>NEXT_PUBLIC_</code>
