Deployment & Build Pipeline

Hybrid Build Process

Our project combines a Next.js root app with a Docusaurus documentation app.

• Build Command: npm run build
• Logic:
  1. cd textbook && npm install && npm run build (Builds Docs)
  2. npx shx mkdir -p public/docs (Creates output dir)
  3. npx shx cp -r textbook/build/* public/docs/ (Copies static docs to Next.js public folder)
  4. next build (Builds the main Next.js app)
