Hello folks! welcome back to a new section of our tutorial on Next.js. In this tutorial, we will be discussing about Next.js Global CSS Support.

Let us create global styles which is going to be applied to all pages.

In this tutorial guide, we are going to create a styles.css which is going to be used on all components using _app.js component.

Let's update the nextjs project used in CSS Support tutorial.

Create a styles directory at the root level and add a file styles.css as follows -

html,
body {
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;
   line-height: 1.6;
   font-size: 18px;
   background-color: lime;
}

* {
   box-sizing: border-box;
}

a {
   color: #0070f3;
   text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
   text-decoration: underline;
}

img {
   max-width: 100%;
   display: block;
}

Now create _app.js file in pages directory.

import '../styles/styles.css'

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
   return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
