Production Build

The following command builds the application into an output directory:

npm run build 

This command compiles the application into the .next directory.

Build Output

The production build creates optimized assets in the .next folder:

• HTML files for statically generated pages
• JavaScript bundles for client-side runtime
• Server-side code for handling API routes and server-side rendering

Running the Production Build

To start the application in production mode, run:

npm run start 

This command starts the Next.js production server.

Environment Variables

Ensure that all necessary environment variables are set for the production environment. You can use .env.production file for production-specific variables.

Analyzing the Bundle

To analyze the production bundle size, you can use:

ANALYZE=true npm run build 

This will generate a report to help you optimize your application's bundle size.
