First you will want to install dependencies, create an initial build of data files (blog posts, etc.), and then start the development server:
npm install
npm run build
npm run dev
The app will be served on http://localhost:3000. Cool huh?
There are a bunch of other things you might like to do, I've listed a reference below.
Install dependencies:
npm install
Compile data files:
npm run build
Run development server:
npm run dev
Or run with now dev for a production-like environment. I recommend running the following command if you've experienced production not behaving like your development environment.
node_modules/.bin/now dev
When writing blog posts:
You will want to continuously build data files when writing blog posts. I usually have npm run dev running in one tab on the terminal, and in another I run the following:
npm run blog
This will watch for changes and recompile. You will need to refresh the browser as next.js doesn't pick up the changes :'(
Run tests and linting:
npm test
npm run lint
We deploy on Zeit Now. It's automatically configured to deploy production from the master branch on GitHub.
