Getting Started with Next.js 15

Next.js 15 brings exciting new features and improvements to the React framework. In this post, we'll explore the App Router and how to build modern web applications.

Why Next.js?

Next.js is a powerful React framework that provides:

• Server-side rendering (SSR)
• Static site generation (SSG)
• API routes
• File-based routing
• Built-in optimization

Setting Up Your First Project

To create a new Next.js project, run:

npx create-next-app@latest my-app

This will set up a new Next.js project with TypeScript, ESLint, and Tailwind CSS.

App Router

The App Router is the new routing system in Next.js 13+. It uses the app directory and provides better performance and developer experience.

Creating Pages

To create a new page, simply add a page.tsx file in the app directory:

export default function Home() {
    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Welcome to Next.js!</h1>
        </div>
    );
}

Conclusion

Next.js 15 makes it easier than ever to build fast, modern web applications. Give it a try for your next project!
