When hosting your Next.js application on Vercel, the styling can sometimes be bundled into a single file due to the way Vercel optimizes and builds the project. To load CSS files based on the route in a Next.js application with different styles for English and Arabic versions, you can follow these steps:
1. Instead of directly importing the CSS files in your components or pages, you can dynamically load the CSS files based on the route using `useEffect` and `useRouter` from Next.js.
2. Here's a sample implementation of how you can achieve this:
```jsx
// components/Layout.js
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
const Layout = ({ children }) => {
const router = useRouter();
useEffect(() => {
if (router.locale === 'ar') {
import('../styles/style-rtl.css');
} else {
import('../styles/style.css');
}
}, [router.locale]);
return (
{children}
);
};
export default Layout;
```
3. In this example, the `Layout` component dynamically imports the appropriate CSS file based on the current locale using the `router.locale` provided by `next-i18next`.
4. Ensure that your Next.js configuration and `next.config.js` are correctly set up to handle internationalized routing and CSS imports.
5. Finally, deploy your application to Vercel and check if the CSS files are loaded correctly based on the route/locale without being bundled into a single file.
By dynamically importing the CSS files based on the route/locale in your Next.js application, you can have separate styles for different languages while ensuring they are loaded appropriately on Vercel without being bundled together.
