How to add a Docusaurus website within Next.js Website as a route? It's worth $200

I recently received a project worth $200.

The employer wants to use Docusaurus in a Next.js project.

I also found the same problem on stackoverflow. Hope this article is helpful to you.

Installation Docusaurus

pnpm dlx create-docusaurus@latest doc classic
cd doc
pnpm install
pnpm start

We need to modify the build command of docusaurus.

"build": "docusaurus build && rm -rf '../public/doc' && mv 'build' '../public/doc'",

{
...
"scripts": {
    "docusaurus": "docusaurus",
    "start": "docusaurus start",
    "build": "docusaurus build && rm -rf '../public/doc' && mv 'build' '../public/doc'",
    "swizzle": "docusaurus swizzle",
    "deploy": "docusaurus deploy",
    "clear": "docusaurus clear",
    "serve": "docusaurus serve",
    "write-translations": "docusaurus write-translations",
    "write-heading-ids": "docusaurus write-heading-ids"
  },
...
}

Build the docusaurus project.

pnpm build // build docusaurus ()
cd ..
pnpm build // build next.js

We visit http://localhost:3000/doc. But why is 404 displayed?

next.config.js Options: rewrites | Next.js

I found the override method in the Next.js documentation.

// next.config.mjs

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  rewrites: async () => [
    {
      source: "/doc",
      destination: "/doc/index.html",
    },
  ],
};

export default nextConfig;
