This page describes commonly used build settings and other configuration tips for popular build tools and project architectures. Your particular settings may be different.

You can also check out common configurations for monorepos, generic JavaScript SPAs, ignoring builds, and using environment variables with frameworks. For even more build configuration advice and to ask questions of your own, visit our Support Forums.

# Definitions

The following sections outline the typical build command and publish directory settings for popular frameworks.

  • Build command: the command to run to build your site if you are using a static site generator or other build tool. For example, npm run build. The build command runs in the Bash shell, allowing you to add Bash-⁠compatible syntax to the command.
  • Publish directory: directory that contains the deploy-ready HTML files and assets generated by the build. The directory is relative to the base directory, which is root by default (/).

    Only files in the publish directory are deployed

    Files and assets located outside of the publish directory won’t be included in site deploys.

# Next.js

Netlify’s build system can build and deploy all types of Next.js apps to our platform. You can learn more about using Next.js on Netlify in our docs.

For Next.js version 10-13.4, the Next.js Runtime (v4) by Netlify supports apps that require server-side rendering. Next.js Runtime enables server-side rendering through serverless functions and unlocks other framework-specific features for your Next.js application on Netlify.

For Next.js version 13.5 and later, the Next.js Runtime v5 by Netlify supports the App Router, next/image, and more with zero configuration.

For apps that use next export to generate static HTML, set the NETLIFY_NEXT_PLUGIN_SKIP environment variable to true.

The typical build settings are as follows. They differ depending on how your site is generated.

  • For apps that use server-side rendering and Next.js Runtime:

    • Build command: next build
