Next.js deploying

Rules

NX-DEP-001 required

Production build is next build

The build must finish before a deploy is described as ready.

NX-DEP-002 prohibited

Do not publish a package unless that was the task

Packing a library and publishing it are separate requests.

NX-DEP-003 recommended

Keep environment values on the host

Document the variable name. Do not write the value into the repo.

Correct

npm run build

Incorrect

npm publish --access public

Publishing is a separate, explicit request.

Checklist

next build completed.
No new host was configured.
No secret was added for the build.
