title: Next.js
description: Create a new Next.js project with RTL support.
---
<Callout className="mb-6 border-emerald-600 bg-emerald-100 dark:border-emerald-400 dark:bg-emerald-900">
**Starting a new project?** Use [shadcn/create](/create?template=next&base=base&rtl=true) for a fully configured Next.js app with custom themes, Base UI or Radix, and icon libraries.
</Callout>
<Steps>
### Create Project
Create a new project using the `--rtl` flag and the `next` template.
**You can skip this step if you have already created a project using [shadcn/create](/create?template=next&base=base&rtl=true).**
```bash
npx shadcn@latest create --template next --rtl
```
This will create a `components.json` file with the `rtl: true` flag.
```json title="components.json" showLineNumbers {4}
{
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema.json",
"style": "base-nova",
"rtl": true
}
```
### Add DirectionProvider
Wrap your application with the `DirectionProvider` component with the `direction="rtl"` prop.
Then add the `dir="rtl"` and `lang="ar"` attributes to the `html` tag. Update `lang="ar"` to your target language.
```tsx title="app/layout.tsx" showLineNumbers {1,9-13}
import { DirectionProvider } from "@/components/ui/direction"
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="ar" dir="rtl">
<body>
<DirectionProvider direction="rtl">{children}</DirectionProvider>
</body>
</html>
)
}
```
### Add Font
For the best RTL experience, we recommend using fonts that have proper support for your target language. [Noto](https://fonts.google.com/noto) is a great font family for this and it pairs well with Inter and Geist.
```tsx title="app/layout.tsx" showLineNumbers {1,5-8,16}
import { Noto_Sans_Arabic } from "next/font/google"
import { DirectionProvider } from "@/components/ui/direction"
const fontSans = Noto_Sans_Arabic({
subsets: ["arabic"],
variable: "--font-sans",
})
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode
}) {
return (
<html lang="ar" dir="rtl" className={fontSans.variable}>
<body>
<DirectionProvider direction="rtl">{children}</DirectionProvider>
</body>
</html>
)
}
```
For other languages, eg. Hebrew, you can use the `Noto_Sans_Hebrew` font.
### Add Components
You are now ready to add components to your project. The CLI will take care of handling RTL support for you.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add item
```
</Steps>
