Runtime Config

Warning:

To add runtime configuration to your app, open next.config.js and add the publicRuntimeConfig and serverRuntimeConfig configs:

next.config.js
module.exports = {
  serverRuntimeConfig: {
    // Will only be available on the server side
    mySecret: 'secret',
    secondSecret: process.env.SECOND_SECRET, // Pass through env variables
  },
  publicRuntimeConfig: {
    // Will be available on both server and client
    staticFolder: '/static',
  },
}

Place any server-only runtime config under serverRuntimeConfig.

Anything accessible to both client and server-side code should be under publicRuntimeConfig.

A page that relies on publicRuntimeConfig must use getInitialProps or getServerSideProps or your application must have a Custom App with getInitialProps to opt-out of Automatic Static Optimization. Runtime configuration won't be available to any page (or component in a page) without being server-side rendered.

To get access to the runtime configs in your app use next/config, like so:

import getConfig from 'next/config'
import Image from 'next/image'
 
// Only holds serverRuntimeConfig and publicRuntimeConfig
const { serverRuntimeConfig, publicRuntimeConfig } = getConfig()
// Will only be available on the server-side
console.log(serverRuntimeConfig.mySecret)
// Will be available on both server-side and client-side
console.log(publicRuntimeConfig.staticFolder)
 
function MyImage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Image
        src={`${publicRuntimeConfig.staticFolder}/logo.png`}
        alt="logo"
        layout="fill"
      />
    </div>
  )
}
 
export default MyImage
