title: How to configure Next.js plugins
description: A guide for configuring Next.js plugins with Nx
---
# Configuring Next.js plugins
Next.js plugins are configured in the project's `next.config.js` file. Nx adds a its own plugin (`withNx`) to help the Next.js application
understand workspace libraries, and other Nx-specific features. See below for an example of the `withNx` plugin that Nx adds by default.
```js
// next.config.js
// ...
module.exports = withNx({
// Nx configuration goes here
nx: {
svgr: false,
},
// Add Next.js configuration goes here
});
```
This guide contains information on how to configure and compose the Nx plugin with other plugins, such as `@next/mdx`. Note that Nx prior to version 16 is missing the compose utility from the `@nx/next` package, and a workaround will be provided for Nx 15 and prior.
{% callout type="warning" title="Avoid next-compose-plugins" %}
There is a popular package called `next-compose-plugins` that has not been maintained for over two years. This package does not correctly combine plugins in all situations. If you do use it, replace the package with Nx 16's `composePlugins` utility (see below).
{% /callout %}
## `withNx` plugin
The `withNx` Next.js plugin provides integration with Nx, including support for [workspace libraries](/nx-api/next/generators/library), SVGR, and more. It is included by default when you generate a Next.js [application](/nx-api/next/generators/application) with Nx. When you customize your `next.config.js` file, make sure to include the `withNx` plugin.
### Options
#### svgr
Type: `boolean`
Set this to true if you would like to to use SVGR. See: https://react-svgr.com/
#### babelUpwardRootMode
Type: `boolean`
For a monorepo, set to `true` to incorporate `.babelrc` files from individual libraries into the build. Note, however, that doing so will prevent the application's `.babelrc` settings from being applied to its libraries. It is generally recommended not to enable this option, as it can lead to a lack of consistency throughout the workspace. Instead, the application's `.babelrc` file should include the presets and plugins needed by its libraries directly. For more information on babel root-mode, see here: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/options#rootmode
Set this to `true` if you want `.babelrc` from libraries to be used in a monorepo. Note that setting this to `true` means the application's `.babelrc` will not apply to libraries, and it is recommended not to use this option as it may lead to inconsistency in the workspace. Instead, add babel presets/plugins required by libraries directly to the application's `.babelrc` file. See: https://babeljs.io/docs/en/options#rootmode
## Composing plugins using `composePlugins` utility (Nx 16 and later)
Since Nx 16, we provide a `composePlugins` utility function that helps users combine multiple Next.js plugins together.
```js
// next.config.js
const { composePlugins, withNx } = require('@nx/next');
/**
* @type {import('@nx/next/plugins/with-nx').WithNxOptions}
**/
const nextConfig = {
nx: {
// Set this to true if you would like to to use SVGR
// See: https://github.com/gregberge/svgr
svgr: false,
},
// Add Next.js configuration here
};
const plugins = [
// Add more Next.js plugins to this list if needed.
withNx,
];
module.exports = composePlugins(...plugins)(nextConfig);
```
If you want to add additional plugins, say [`@next/mdx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/mdx), you can add it to the plugins list.
```js
const plugins = [
// Add more Next.js plugins to this list if needed.
require('@next/mdx')(),
withNx,
];
module.exports = composePlugins(...plugins)(nextConfig);
```
This the exported configuration will correctly call each plugin in order and apply their configuration changes to the final object. Note that `composePlugins` function will return an async function, so if you need to debug the configuration you can add a debug plugin as follows.
```js
module.exports = composePlugins(...plugins, function debug(config) {
// The debug plugin will be called last
console.log({ config });
return config;
})(nextConfig);
```
## Manually composing plugins (Nx 15 and prior)
If you are not on Nx 16 and later versions, the `composePlugins` utility is not available. However, you can use the workaround below to use multiple plugins.
```js
// next.config.js
// ...
/**
* @type {import('@nx/next/plugins/with-nx').WithNxOptions}
**/
const nextConfig = {
// ...
};
const plugins = [
// Your plugins exlcuding withNx
];
module.exports = async (phase, context) => {
let updatedConfig = plugins.reduce((acc, fn) => fn(acc), nextConfig);
// Apply the async function that `withNx` returns.
updatedConfig = await withNx(updatedConfig)(phase, context);
// If you have plugins that has to be added after Nx you can do that here.
// For example, Sentry needs to be added last.
updatedConfig = require('@sentry/nextjs')(updatedConfig, { silent: true });
return updatedConfig;
};
```
