name: nextjs-configuration description: Next.js 15 configuration with App Router. Use when setting up or configuring Next.js projects.

Next.js Configuration Skill

This skill covers Next.js 15 configuration with the App Router.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Setting up new Next.js projects
  • Configuring build and deployment
  • Adding middleware and redirects
  • Configuring image optimization

Core Principle

CONVENTIONS OVER CONFIGURATION - Next.js has sensible defaults. Only configure when you need to deviate.

Basic Configuration

// next.config.ts
import type { NextConfig } from 'next';

const config: NextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
};

export default config;

Full Configuration

// next.config.ts
import type { NextConfig } from 'next';

const config: NextConfig = {
  // React strict mode (recommended)
  reactStrictMode: true,

  // NEVER ignore errors
  typescript: {
    ignoreBuildErrors: false,
  },
  eslint: {
    ignoreDuringBuilds: false,
  },

  // Experimental features
  experimental: {
    typedRoutes: true,
  },

  // Image optimization
  images: {
    remotePatterns: [
      {
        protocol: 'https',
        hostname: 'example.com',
        pathname: '/images/**',
      },
    ],
  },

  // Redirects
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/old-page',
        destination: '/new-page',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ];
  },

  // Rewrites
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/api/:path*',
        destination: 'https://api.example.com/:path*',
      },
    ];
  },

  // Headers
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/(.*)',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'X-Frame-Options',
            value: 'DENY',
          },
          {
            key: 'X-Content-Type-Options',
            value: 'nosniff',
          },
        ],
      },
    ];
  },
};

export default config;

Layout Configuration

// app/layout.tsx
import type { Metadata } from 'next';
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google';
import './globals.css';

const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] });

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    default: 'My App',
    template: '%s | My App',
  },
  description: 'My application description',
  openGraph: {
    title: 'My App',
    description: 'My application description',
    url: 'https://myapp.com',
    siteName: 'My App',
    locale: 'en_US',
    type: 'website',
  },
};

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}): React.ReactElement {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body className={inter.className}>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

Image Configuration

// next.config.ts
images: {
  // Remote image patterns
  remotePatterns: [
    {
      protocol: 'https',
      hostname: '**.example.com',
    },
    {
      protocol: 'https',
      hostname: 'cdn.example.com',
      pathname: '/images/**',
    },
  ],

  // Image formats
  formats: ['image/avif', 'image/webp'],

  // Device sizes for responsive images
  deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200, 1920, 2048, 3840],
  imageSizes: [16, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 256, 384],

  // Disable optimization for static export
  // unoptimized: true,
},

Environment Variables

# .env.local (not committed)
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...
API_SECRET=secret

# .env (committed)
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.example.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME=My App
// Usage
// Server-side only
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL;

// Client-side (must have NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix)
const apiUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL;

Middleware

// middleware.ts (root level)
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

export function middleware(request: NextRequest): NextResponse {
  // Authentication check
  const token = request.cookies.get('token');

  if (!token && request.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url));
  }

  // Add headers
  const response = NextResponse.next();
  response.headers.set('x-custom-header', 'value');

  return response;
}

// Configure which paths middleware runs on
export const config = {
  matcher: [
    '/dashboard/:path*',
    '/api/:path*',
  ],
};

Route Handlers (API Routes)

// app/api/users/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export async function GET(request: NextRequest): Promise<NextResponse> {
  const users = await db.user.findMany();
  return NextResponse.json(users);
}

export async function POST(request: NextRequest): Promise<NextResponse> {
  const body = await request.json();
  const user = await db.user.create({ data: body });
  return NextResponse.json(user, { status: 201 });
}

// app/api/users/[id]/route.ts
export async function GET(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: { id: string } }
): Promise<NextResponse> {
  const user = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: params.id } });
  if (!user) {
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Not found' }, { status: 404 });
  }
  return NextResponse.json(user);
}

Static Export

// next.config.ts
const config: NextConfig = {
  output: 'export',
  images: {
    unoptimized: true, // Required for static export
  },
  trailingSlash: true,
};

Standalone Build (Docker)

// next.config.ts
const config: NextConfig = {
  output: 'standalone',
};
FROM node:22-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app

COPY --from=builder /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/static ./.next/static
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public

ENV NODE_ENV=production
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

Bundle Analyzer

// next.config.ts
import bundleAnalyzer from '@next/bundle-analyzer';

const withBundleAnalyzer = bundleAnalyzer({
  enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true',
});

const config: NextConfig = {
  // ...
};

export default withBundleAnalyzer(config);
ANALYZE=true npm run build

Security Headers

// next.config.ts
async headers() {
  return [
    {
      source: '/(.*)',
      headers: [
        {
          key: 'X-DNS-Prefetch-Control',
          value: 'on',
        },
        {
          key: 'Strict-Transport-Security',
          value: 'max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload',
        },
        {
          key: 'X-Frame-Options',
          value: 'SAMEORIGIN',
        },
        {
          key: 'X-Content-Type-Options',
          value: 'nosniff',
        },
        {
          key: 'Referrer-Policy',
          value: 'origin-when-cross-origin',
        },
      ],
    },
  ];
},

Commands

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "lint": "next lint"
  }
}

Best Practices

  1. Use App Router - Pages Router is legacy
  2. Server Components by default - Use 'use client' only when needed
  3. Typed routes - Enable experimental.typedRoutes
  4. Never ignore errors - Keep ignoreBuildErrors: false
  5. Environment variables - Use NEXT_PUBLIC_ for client-side
  6. Image optimization - Use next/image component
  7. Middleware - Use for auth, redirects, headers

Notes

  • App Router is the recommended approach for new projects
  • Server Components reduce client-side JavaScript
  • Middleware runs on the Edge Runtime
  • Static export removes server-side features
