Next.js how to show something in development and hide in production

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

I wanted to display some information on the website only if it was in development, on my local machine, and not in the deployed website.

Here’s how I did it:

const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

{isDev && (
  <p>local only</p>
)}
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
