# Next.js

In this example we will be deploying a simple "Hello World" example with Next.js.

### Getting started with Next.js

- Create a `pages` folder with an `index.js` file with the following code:

```jsx
import Link from "next/link";
import Header from "../components/header";

export default () => (




Go to About Me



);
```

- Now lets create an `about.js` file inside the `pages` folder with the following code:

```jsx
import { Component } from "react";
import Link from "next/link";
import Header from "../components/header";

class AboutPage extends Component {
static getInitialProps() {
const isServer = typeof window === "undefined";
return { isServer };
}

render() {
return (




This is another page of the SSR example, you accessed it{" "}
{this.props.isServer ? "server" : "client"} side.



You can reload to see how the page change.



Go to Home



);
}
}

export default AboutPage;
```

- As you might noticed we have a component that is shared by both `index.js` and `about.js` files, let's create that one now. Create a folder named `components` with a file named `header.js` in it and add the following code:

```jsx
export default () => (

Next.js Example



);
```

- Finally in order for Next.js to be deployed we could either have a `next.config.js` or a `package.json`, for this example we are just going to create a `next.config.js` with the following code:

```js
module.exports = {
target: 'serverless'
}
```

### Deploy with Now

First we need to create a `now.json` configuration file to instruct Now how to build the project.

For this example we will be using our newest version [Now 2.0](https://zeit.co/now).

By adding the `version` key to the `now.json` file, we can specify which Now Platform version to use.

We also need to define each builders we would like to use. [Builders](https://zeit.co/docs/v2/deployments/builders/overview/) are modules that take a deployment's source and return an output, consisting of [either static files or dynamic Lambdas](https://zeit.co/docs/v2/deployments/builds/#sources-and-outputs).

In this case we are going to use `@now/next` to build and deploy our Next.js application selecting the `next.config.js` as our entry point. We will also define a name for our project (optional).

```json
{
"version": 2,
"name": "nextjs",
"builds": [
{ "src": "next.config.js", "use": "@now/next" }
]
}
```

Visit our [documentation](https://zeit.co/docs/v2/deployments/configuration) for more information on the `now.json` configuration file.

We are now ready to deploy the app.
