Learn Next.js

The talk teaches page navigation in Next.js, starting with the Link component and its client-side transitions and prefetching. It explains dynamic routes with bracketed path segments and how to read route parameters with useRouter. It then shows how getInitialProps can fetch data from JSONPlaceholder and pass it into a page. Finally, it demonstrates using router.push to redirect after a mock login and fetching GitHub profile data for a dashboard.

This module demonstrates how to run a Next.js application locally with Node.js and either npm or Yarn, then build and run its production version. It explains how ESLint helps catch bugs and enforce coding rules, and how Prettier formats code automatically. The speaker also shows how Git pre-commit hooks can run formatting tasks and introduces StandardJS as a zero-configuration alternative. The lesson concludes with guidance on choosing a linting and formatting setup that saves time and keeps code consistent.
