Next.js: Is it possible to have multiple custom documents?

[callumlocke]

The docs say you can define a custom document at pages/_document.js.

But is there any way to make two pages that use different custom documents?

[sergiodxa]

You need to have a single pages/_document.js and you can then check the URL before rendering to change the HTML you're going to render.

[callumlocke]

That makes of a lot more sense than what I was imagining

[greggootz]

@sergiodxa this sounds like an excellent approach!

Can you give a simple example of this?

I can get _document.js to identify URL (query, pathname) on first load, but struggling with _document.js identify when the Routes are changed.

Thanks!

_document.js is only rendered once on the server, all navigation using is client side.
