Get Started
Create your own Nextra site and deploy to Vercel:
Vercel will create the Nextra repository and deploy the site for you with just a few clicks.
Once done, every change in the repository will be deployed automatically.
Configurations
Install Next.js and React:
yarn add next react react-dom
Install Nextra and the docs theme:
yarn add nextra nextra-theme-docs
Create the following Next.js config and theme config under the root directory:
// next.config.jsconst withNextra = require('nextra')('nextra-theme-docs', './theme.config.js')module.exports = withNextra()
// theme.config.jsexport default { repository: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra', // project repo docsRepository: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra', // docs repo branch: 'master', // branch of docs path: '/', // path of docs titleSuffix: ' – Nextra', nextLinks: true, prevLinks: true, search: true, customSearch: null, // customizable, you can use algolia for example darkMode: true, footer: true, footerText: 'MIT 2020 © Shu Ding.', footerEditOnGitHubLink: true, // will link to the docs repo logo: <> <svg>...</svg> <span>Next.js Static Site Generator</span> </>, head: <> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <meta name="description" content="Nextra: the next docs builder" /> <meta name="og:title" content="Nextra: the next docs builder" /> </>}
- Create
pages/_app.js
and include the theme stylesheet:
import 'nextra-theme-docs/style.css'export default function Nextra({ Component, pageProps }) { return <Component {...pageProps} />}
- You are good to go!
💡
Any .md
or .mdx
file will turn into a doc page and be displayed in sidebar. You can also create a meta.json
file to customize the page order and title.
Check the source code: https://github.com/shuding/nextra for more information.

You can also use <style jsx>
to style elements inside theme.config.js
.
