Frameworks

Netlify automatically detects and configures your project based on the framework you’re using. This page describes commonly used build settings and other configuration tips for popular build tools and project architectures. Your particular settings may be different. For projects that require more advanced setup, check out common configurations for:

If you're a framework author, the frameworks API is available to integrate your framework with Netlify.

# Definitions

The following sections outline the typical build command and publish directory settings for popular frameworks.

  • Build command: the command to run to build your site if you are using a static site generator or other build tool. For example, npm run build. The build command runs in the Bash shell, allowing you to add Bash-⁠compatible syntax to the command.
  • Publish directory: directory that contains the deploy-ready HTML files and assets generated by the build. The directory is relative to the base directory, which is root by default (/).

    Only files in the publish directory are deployed

    Files and assets located outside of the publish directory won’t be included in site deploys.
