By: Kirill Konshin

Overview of this book

Next.js is a powerful addition to the ever-growing and dynamic JavaScript world. Built on top of React, Webpack, and Babel, it is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered universal JavaScript applications. This book will show you the best practices for building sites using Next. js, enabling you to build SEO-friendly and superfast websites. This book will guide you from building a simple single page app to a scalable and reliable client-server infrastructure. You will explore code sharing between client and server, universal modules, and server-side rendering. The book will take you through the core Next.js concepts that everyone is talking about – hot reloading, code splitting, routing, server rendering, transpilation, CSS isolation, and more. You will learn ways of implementing them in order to create your own universal JavaScript application. You will walk through the building and deployment stages of your applications with the JSON API,customizing the confguration, error handling,data fetching, deploying to production, and authentication.

Setting up cloud coverage statistics

It is very useful to track coverage status changes after commits:

  • It reveals risky changes early
  • It gives a clear warning to go ahead and fix it before it gets out of hand

For this example, we will use a free service called Coveralls:

$ npm install react react-dom --save
$ npm install coveralls jest next react-test-renderer --save-dev

Same as before; we need to configure Babel too:

// .babelrc
{
"env": {
"test": {
"presets": [
[
"env",
{
"modules": "commonjs"
}
],
"next/babel"
]
},
"development": {
"presets": [
"next/babel"
]
}
}
}

Let's configure Jest to collect coverage for us:

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
testPathIgnorePatterns...
