Getting started with JSS for Next.js development

SitecoreAI offers two paths for setting up your development environment for developing Next.js JSS apps based on your role, workflow, and operating system.

Full-stack, Sitecore-first development

To create a solution for full-stack development with Sitecore and JSS for Next.js, Sitecore provides a container-based template optimized for the development workflow.

Note

This path requires a machine with the Windows operating system.

Front-end development

If you work strictly in a front-end / JavaScript development role, you can get started with JSS front-end development on any operating system supported by Node.js.

Note

With this path, you only get a JSS application based on Next.js. You must perform additional steps to connect the JSS Next.js app to a SitecoreAI instance.
