Tips For Better Next.js Development...!

Hi, dear connections,

In this article, I listed 5 tips to improve your Next.js Development.

??Define absolute imports:

Absolute imports are the way to address the modules from the project root and not the relative path. For example, it's better to use '@/components/Button' instead of '../../components/Button'

This will make our code easier to read and maintain!

??Use ESLint and Prettier:

They help you enforce a consistent coding style and find potential bugs in your code.

*ESLint: checks for common errors, such as unused variables, syntax errors, etc.

*Prettier will format your code automatically, so coding styles like indentation, spacing, semicolons, etc., will be the same throughout the codebase.

??Use Image component:

The image component in the Nextjs framework comes with several features, such as lazy loading, resizing, enhanced performance, etc. Using the image component is strongly recommended to improve the UX and SEO of your web application.

??Use incremental static regeneration (ISR):

It allows you to update static pages without rebuilding the entire web app. To use incremental static regeneration, you need to specify a 'revalidate' property in the 'getStaticProps' method.

Example:

export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
  const post = await getPostBySlug(params.slug);
  return {
    props: {
      post,
    },
    revalidate: 60, // Regenerate the page every 60 seconds
  };
}        

??Use next-seo package:

It makes managing your SEO easier in Next.js projects, and it has more than 400K weekly downloads on NPM:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-seo
