I'm trying to add a favicon to a Next.js static site without much luck.
I've tried customising the document with components from 'next/document'
https://nextjs.org/docs/#custom-document
A straight link to the favicon.ico file doesn't work because the file isn't included in the build and the href doesn't update to /_next/static/...
Importing the image and adding to the link's href doesn't work either (see commented out lines).
import React from 'react';
import Document, { Html, Head, Main, NextScript } from 'next/document';
// import favicon from '../data/imageExports';
export default class MyDocument extends Document {
static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
const initialProps = await Document.getInitialProps(ctx);
return { ...initialProps };
}
render() {
return (
<Html>
<Head>
{/* <link rel="shortcut icon" href={favicon} /> */}
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/icons/favicon.ico" />
</Head>
<body>
<Main />
<NextScript />
</body>
</Html>
);
}
}
The favicon links get added however it doesn't display. I'd expect it to work when I import the file, but it just adds a <link rel="shortcut icon" href="[object Object]"> link.
Has anyone done this yet?
