Nextra is a Next.js plugin. Besides all the features that Next.js supports, it renders your MDX files with specific themes.
The Nextra repository uses Yarn Workspaces. To install dependencies, just simply run yarn in the project root directory.
cd packages/nextra
yarn build
Watch mode: yarn dev
cd packages/nextra-theme-docs
yarn build
Watch mode: yarn dev
Watch mode (layout only): yarn dev:layout
Watch mode (style only): yarn dev:tailwind
You can also debug them toegther with a website locally. For instance, to start examples/docs locally, run
cd examples/docs
yarn dev
Any change to example/docs will be re-rendered instantly.
If you update the core or theme packages, a rebuild is required. Or you can use the watch mode for both nextra and the theme in separated terminals.
