title: Usage with Next.js
---
[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`.
```jsx
'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 Next.js 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 { useServerInsertedHTML } from 'next/navigation';
import { StyleProvider, createCache, extractStyle } from '@ant-design/cssinjs';
export default function StyledComponentsRegistry({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const cache = createCache();
useServerInsertedHTML(() => (
));
return {children};
}
```
3. Use it in `app/layout.tsx`
```tsx
import StyledComponentsRegistry from '../lib/AntdRegistry';
import './globals.css';
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google';
const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] });
export const metadata = {
title: 'Create Next App',
description: 'Generated by create next app',
};
export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
{children}
);
}
```
4. Customize theme in `theme/*.tsx`
```tsx
'use client';
// theme/index.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { ConfigProvider } from 'antd';
const withTheme = (node: JSX.Element) => (
{/* nesting */}
{node}
);
export default withTheme;
```
5. Use in page
```tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'antd';
import withTheme from '../../theme';
const Home = function Home() {
return (
);
};
const HomePage = () => {
return withTheme();
};
export default HomePage;
```
