DocumentA custom Document is commonly used to augment your application's <html> and <body> tags. This is necessary because Next.js pages skip the definition of the surrounding document's markup.
To override the default Document, create the file ./pages/_document.js and extend the Document class as shown below:
import Document, { Html, Head, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document'
class MyDocument extends Document {
static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx)
return { ...initialProps }
}
render() {
return (
<Html>
<Head />
<body>
<Main />
<NextScript />
</body>
</Html>
)
}
}
export default MyDocument
The code above is the default
Documentadded by Next.js. Feel free to remove thegetInitialPropsorrenderfunction fromMyDocumentif you don't need to change them.
<Html>, <Head />, <Main /> and <NextScript /> are required for the page to be properly rendered.
Custom attributes are allowed as props, like lang:
<Html lang="en">
The <Head /> component used here is not the same one from next/head. The <Head /> component used here should only be used for any <head> code that is common for all pages. For all other cases, such as <title> tags, we recommend using next/head in your pages or components.
The ctx object is equivalent to the one received in getInitialProps, with one addition:
renderPage: Function - a callback that runs the actual React rendering logic (synchronously). It's useful to decorate this function in order to support server-rendering wrappers like Aphrodite's renderStaticDocument is only rendered in the server, event handlers like onClick won't work<Main /> will not be initialized by the browser. Do not add application logic here or custom CSS (like styled-jsx). If you need shared components in all your pages (like a menu or a toolbar), take a look at the App component insteadDocument's getInitialProps function is not called during client-side transitions, nor when a page is statically optimizedrenderPageIt should be noted that the only reason you should be customizing
renderPageis for usage with css-in-js libraries that need to wrap the application to properly work with server-side rendering.
It takes as argument an options object for further customization:
import Document from 'next/document'
class MyDocument extends Document {
static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
const originalRenderPage = ctx.renderPage
ctx.renderPage = () =>
originalRenderPage({
// useful for wrapping the whole react tree
enhanceApp: (App) => App,
// useful for wrapping in a per-page basis
enhanceComponent: (Component) => Component,
})
// Run the parent `getInitialProps`, it now includes the custom `renderPage`
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx)
return initialProps
}
}
export default MyDocument
You can use the built-in DocumentContext type and change the file name to ./pages/_document.tsx like so:
import Document, { DocumentContext } from 'next/document'
class MyDocument extends Document {
static async getInitialProps(ctx: DocumentContext) {
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx)
return initialProps
}
}
export default MyDocument
