I am starting a project where I decided to use Next.js. But my manager doesn't want the app to be in SSR, as it needs a Node server. He wants it to be only SPA.
Now I can use create-react-app and create the app with React, but I was thinking of taking advantage of the Next.js routing and other built-in configs.
As I've seen in Nuxt.js, there is a way of using 'universal' or 'spa' mode, I am searching if there is any way to make 'spa' in Next.js.
Yes it's possible. But that's not what it was built for and you're going to have a hard time keeping it a SPA. The Next routing and other built-in configs are specifically for SSR and creeping towards static site generation. create-react-app and things like React Router were built specifically for SPAs (though they're moving towards better SSR).
So if your boss wants a SPA, use the proper tool for it - today, that's CRA. You'll build it faster and meet the project requirements set forth by your boss. When the boss is ready for a SSR, consider Next. When the boss wants a static site built using React, consider Next or Gatsby.
create-react-app anymore. Use Vite instead, that's the modern equivalent of CRA.you can achieve this by using nextjs’s static exports feature
be cautious! some others features are restricted(ssr, rewrite, etc) when using this feature
