# Payload Nested Docs Example Front-End
This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) app using the [App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app). It was made explicitly for Payload's [Nested Docs Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/nested-docs/payload).
> This example uses the App Router, the latest API of Next.js. If your app is using the legacy [Pages Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages), check out the official [Pages Router Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/nested-docs/next-pages).
## Getting Started
### Payload
First you'll need a running Payload app. There is one made explicitly for this example and [can be found here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/nested-docs/payload). If you have not done so already, clone it down and follow the setup instructions there. This will provide all the necessary APIs that your Next.js app requires for authentication.
### Next.js
1. Clone this repo
2. `cd` into this directory and run `yarn` or `npm install`
3. `cp .env.example .env` to copy the example environment variables
4. `yarn dev` or `npm run dev` to start the server
5. `open http://localhost:3001` to see the result
Once running you will find a couple seeded pages on your local environment with some basic instructions. You can also start editing the pages by modifying the documents within Payload. See the [Nested Docs Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/nested-docs/payload) for full details.
## Learn More
To learn more about Payload and Next.js, take a look at the following resources:
- [Payload Documentation](https://payloadcms.com/docs) - learn about Payload features and API.
- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.

You can check out [the Payload GitHub repository](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload) as well as [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!
## Deployment
The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new) from the creators of Next.js. You could also combine this app into a [single Express server](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/custom-server) and deploy in to [Payload Cloud](https://payloadcms.com/new/import).
Check out our [Payload deployment documentation](https://payloadcms.com/docs/production/deployment) or the [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment) for more details.
