Integrate Next.js

Using the Firebase CLI, you can deploy your Next.js Web apps to Firebase and serve them with Firebase Hosting.

Serve static content

After initializing Firebase, you can serve static content with the standard deployment command:

firebase deploy

If your app includes dynamic server-side logic, the CLI deploys that logic to Cloud Functions for Firebase. You can view your deployed app on its live site.

Pre-render dynamic content

The Firebase CLI will detect usage of getStaticProps and getStaticPaths.

Optional: integrate with the Firebase JS SDK

When including Firebase JS SDK methods in both server and client bundles, guard against runtime errors by checking isSupported() before using the product. Not all products are supported in all environments.

Optional: integrate with the Firebase Admin SDK

Admin SDK bundles will fail if included in your browser build; refer to them only inside getStaticProps and getStaticPaths.

Serve fully dynamic content (SSR)

The Firebase CLI will detect usage of getServerSideProps. In such cases, the CLI will deploy functions to Cloud Functions for Firebase to run dynamic server code. You can view information about these functions, such as their domain and runtime configuration, in the Firebase console.

Configure Hosting behavior with next.config.js

Image Optimization

Using Next.js Image Optimization is supported, but it will trigger creation of a function (in Cloud Functions for Firebase), even if you’re not using SSR.

Redirects, Rewrites, and Headers

The Firebase CLI respects redirects, rewrites, and headers in next.config.js, converting them to their respective equivalent Firebase Hosting configuration at deploy time. If a Next.js redirect, rewrite, or header cannot be converted to an equivalent Firebase Hosting header, it falls back and builds a function—even if you aren’t using image optimization or SSR.

Optional: integrate with Firebase Authentication

The web framework-aware Firebase deployment tooling will automatically keep client and server state in sync using cookies. There are some methods provided for accessing the authentication context in SSR:

  • The Express res.locals object will optionally contain an authenticated Firebase App instance (firebaseApp) and the currently signed-in user (currentUser). This can be accessed in getServerSideProps.
  • The authenticated Firebase App name is provided on the route query (__firebaseAppName). This allows for manual integration while in context:
// get the authenticated Firebase App
const firebaseApp = getApp(useRouter().query.__firebaseAppName);
