This command is used to start a Next.js application with a specific port number.
The next
command is a CLI (Command Line Interface) tool provided by Next.js, which is a framework for building React.js applications. It is used to manage various aspects of Next.js projects, such as starting the development server, building the application, and more.
The start
argument is specifically used to start the Next.js application in production mode. In the production mode, the application code is optimized for performance and is ready to be deployed to a live server.
The --port
flag is used to specify the desired port number on which the Next.js application should listen. ${port}
here indicates that the port number should be provided as a variable. The actual value of ${port}
would be substituted with the desired port number when running the command.
For example, if you want to start the Next.js application on port 3000, you can use the command: next start --port 3000
. This will start the application on port 3000, making it accessible at http://localhost:3000.
Overall, the command next start --port ${port}
is used to start a Next.js application in production mode, specifying the desired port number as a variable.
