[Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) is currently the most popular React server-side isomorphic framework in the world. This article will try to use `antd` components in projects created by Next.js.
## Install and Initialization
Before all start, you may need install [yarn](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/) or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/).
The tool will create and initialize environment and dependencies automatically, please try config your proxy setting, or use another npm registry if any network errors happen during it.
After the initialization is complete, we enter the project and start.
```bash
$ cd antd-demo
$ npm run dev
```
Open the browser at http://localhost:3000/. if you see the NEXT logo, it is considered a success.
## Import antd
Now we install `antd` from yarn or npm or pnpm.
Modify `src/app/page.tsx`, import Button component from `antd`.
```tsx
'use client'; // If used in Pages Router, is no need to add "use client"
import React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'antd';
const Home = () => (
);
export default Home;
```
OK, you should now see a blue primary button displayed on the page. Next you can choose any components of `antd` to develop your application. Visit other workflows of `Next.js` at its [User Guide](https://nextjs.org/).
We are successfully running antd components now, go build your own application!
## Using App Router
If you are using the App Router in Next.js and using antd as your component library, to make the antd component library work better in your Next.js application and provide a better user experience, you can try using the following method to extract and inject antd's first-screen styles into HTML to avoid page flicker.
1. Install `@ant-design/cssinjs`
2. Create `lib/AntdRegistry.tsx`
```tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { createCache, extractStyle, StyleProvider } from '@ant-design/cssinjs';
import type Entity from '@ant-design/cssinjs/es/Cache';
import { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation';
const StyledComponentsRegistry = ({ children }: React.PropsWithChildren) => {
const cache = React.useMemo(() => createCache(), []);
const isServerInserted = React.useRef(false);
useServerInsertedHTML(() => {
// avoid duplicate css insert
if (isServerInserted.current) {
return;
}
isServerInserted.current = true;
return ;
});
return {children};
};
export default StyledComponentsRegistry;
```
3. Use it in `app/layout.tsx`
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google';
import StyledComponentsRegistry from '../lib/AntdRegistry';
import '@/globals.css';
const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] });
export const metadata = {
title: 'Create Next App',
description: 'Generated by create next app',
};
const RootLayout = ({ children }: React.PropsWithChildren) => (
{children}
);
export default RootLayout;
```
4. Customize theme config in `theme/*.ts`
```ts
// theme/themeConfig.ts
import type { ThemeConfig } from 'antd';
const theme: ThemeConfig = {
token: {
fontSize: 16,
colorPrimary: '#52c41a',
},
};
export default theme;
```
5. Use in page
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button, ConfigProvider } from 'antd';
import theme from './theme/themeConfig';
const HomePage = () => (
);
export default HomePage;
```
> Tips: The above method does not use sub-components such as `` and `` in the page, so it can be used normally. However, if you use a sub-component like this in your page, you will currently see the following warning in next.js: `Error: Cannot access .Option on the server. You cannot dot into a client module from a server component. You can only pass the imported name through.`, currently need to wait for Next.js official solution. Before again, if you use the above sub-components in your page, you can add `"use client"` to the first line of the page component to avoid warnings. See examples for more details: [with-sub-components](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design-examples/blob/main/examples/with-nextjs-app-router-inline-style/src/app/with-sub-components/page.tsx).

## Using Pages Router
If you are using the Pages Router in Next.js and using antd as your component library, to make the antd component library work better in your Next.js application and provide a better user experience, you can try using the following method to extract and inject antd's first-screen styles into HTML to avoid page flicker.
1. Install `@ant-design/cssinjs`
2. Rewrite `pages/_document.tsx`
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { createCache, extractStyle, StyleProvider } from '@ant-design/cssinjs';
import Document, { Head, Html, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document';
import type { DocumentContext } from 'next/document';
const MyDocument = () => (
);
MyDocument.getInitialProps = async (ctx: DocumentContext) => {
const cache = createCache();
const originalRenderPage = ctx.renderPage;
ctx.renderPage = () =>
originalRenderPage({
enhanceApp: (App) => (props) => (
),
});
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx);
const style = extractStyle(cache, true);
return {
...initialProps,
styles: (
<>
{initialProps.styles}
),
};
};
export default MyDocument;
```
3. Supports custom themes
```ts
// theme/themeConfig.ts
import type { ThemeConfig } from 'antd';
const theme: ThemeConfig = {
token: {
fontSize: 16,
colorPrimary: '#52c41a',
},
};
export default theme;
```
4. Rewrite `pages/_app.tsx`
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';
import type { AppProps } from 'next/app';
import theme from './theme/themeConfig';
const App = ({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) => (
);
export default App;
```
5. Use antd in page component
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'antd';
const Home = () => (
);
export default Home;
```
