# Next.js Plugin

The Nx Plugin for Next.js contains builders and schematics for managing Next.js applications and libraries within an Nx workspace. It provides:

- Scaffolding for creating, building, serving, linting, and testing Next.js applications.
- Integration with building, serving, and exporting a Next.js application.
- Integration with React libraries within the workspace.

## Installing the Next.js Plugin

Installing the Nest plugin to a workspace can be done with the following:

```shell script
yarn add -D @nrwl/next
```

```shell script
npm install -D @nrwl/next
```

## Applications

Generating new applications can be done with the following:

```shell script
nx generate @nrwl/next:application <name>
```

This creates the following app structure:

```treeview
myorg/
├── apps/
│   ├── myapp/
│   │   ├── pages/
│   │   │   ├── index.css
│   │   │   └── index.tsx
