@gasket/plugin-nextjs

This plugin adds Next.js to your application.

Installation

npm i @gasket/plugin-nextjs

Update your gasket file plugin configuration:

// gasket.js

+ import pluginNextjs from '@gasket/plugin-nextjs';

export default makeGasket({
  plugins: [
+   pluginNextjs
  ]
});

Adding a Sitemap

When creating a new application with this plugin, you will be prompted with a question in the CLI asking if you would like to add a sitemap to your application.

Answering yes to this question will install next-sitemap as a dependency, generate a next-sitemap.config.js file, and add a sitemap npm script to your package.json. next-sitemap is an npm package that generates sitemaps and a robots.txt file for Next.js applications. Learn more by reading the next-sitemap docs.

Configuration

• Instead of adding a dedicated next.config.js, the nextConfig property within gasket.js is used. Everything you can configure in the next.config can be added here.

It is also possible for apps to config Next.js using the gasket.js file. To do so, specify a nextConfig object property in the same form as what you would set for custom configurations or using Next.js plugins.

For general Webpack configurations, it is recommend to utilize features of the Gasket webpack plugin.

Example configuration

export default makeGasket({
  plugins: [
    pluginNextjs
  ]
  nextConfig: {
    poweredByHeader: false,
    useFileSystemPublicRoutes: false
  }
});

Example with plugins

import withSass from '@zeit/next-sass';
import withCss from '@zeit/next-css';

export default makeGasket({
  plugins: [
    pluginNextjs
  ]
  nextConfig: withCss(
    withSass({
      /* config options here */
    })
  )
});

Internationalized Routing

When using this plugin along with @gasket/plugin-intl to determine and provide locale files, be sure to set the i18n config for defaultLocale and supported locales in the intl plugin config, instead of the nextConfig. This will be used by the Gasket Intl plugin, and also passed along with the Next config for i18n routing.

// gasket.js
export default makeGasket({
  intl: {
+    defaultLocale: 'en-US',
+    locales: ['en-US', 'fr', 'nl-NL']
  },
  nextConfig: {
    i18n: {
-    locales: ['en-US', 'fr', 'nl-NL'],
-    defaultLocale: 'en-US',
    domains: [
      {
        domain: 'example.com',
        defaultLocale: 'en-US',
      },
      {
        domain: 'example.nl',
        defaultLocale: 'nl-NL',
      },
      {
        domain: 'example.fr',
        defaultLocale: 'fr',
      },
    ],
    }
  }
});

Also note when using @gasket/plugin-intl to determine the locale, that the NEXT_LOCALE cookie will have no effect. You can, of course, hook the intlLocale lifecycle in an app to enable that behavior if desired.

Lifecycles

next

Executed when the next server has been created. It will receive a reference to the created next instance.

export default {
  name: 'sample-plugin',
  hooks: {
    /**
     * Modify the Next app instance
     * @param  {Gasket} gasket The Gasket API
     * @param  {Next} next Next app instance
     */
    next: function next(gasket, next) {
      next.setAssetPrefix('https://my.cdn.com/dir/');
    }
  }
};

nextConfig

Executed before the next server has been created. It will receive a reference to the next config. This will allow you to modify the next config before the next server is created.

export default {
  name: 'sample-plugin',
  hooks: {
    /**
     * Modify the Next config
     * @param  {Gasket} gasket The Gasket API
     * @param  {Object} config Next config
     * @returns {Object} config
     */
    nextConfig(gasket, config) {
      return {
        ...config,
        modification: 'newValue'
      };
    }
  }
};

nextExpress

Provides access to both next and express instances which allows next.render calls in express-based routes.

export default {
  name: 'sample-plugin',
  hooks: {
    nextExpress: function (gasket, { next, express }) {
      express.post('/contact-form', (req, res) => {
        // DO STUFF WITH RECEIVED DATA
        //
        // And once we're done, we can `next.render` to render the `pages/thanks`
        // file as a response.
        next.render(req, res, '/thanks', req.params);
      });
    }
  }
};

nextFastify

Provides access to both next and fastify instances which allows next.render calls in express-based routes.

export default {
  name: 'sample-plugin',
  hooks: {
    nextFastify: function (gasket, { next, fastify }) {
      fastify.post('/contact-form', (req, res) => {
        // DO STUFF WITH RECEIVED DATA
        //
        // And once we're done, we can `next.render` to render the `pages/thanks`
        // file as a response.
        next.render(req, res, '/thanks', req.params);
      });
    }
  }
};

nextPreHandling

Enables execution of custom logic just prior to an HTTP request being handed to next.js for processing. Hooks receive the request, response, and next server (not to be confused with the next function used by express-like middleware):

export default {
  name: 'sample-plugin',
  hooks: {
      async nextPreHandling(gasket, {
          req,
          res,
          nextServer
      }) {
          await doPreRenderingLogic(req, res);
      }
  }
};

Utilities

This plugin hooks the actions lifecycle creates a getNextRoute action. It is intended for use in server contexts where you need to know how a request will route to a next.js page. This async function returns null if the manifest could not be parsed or if the requested URL does not match a route. If a match is found, an object with these properties is returned:

Property	Type	Description
page	String	The page name/path used to identify a page within next.js
regex	RegExp	The regular expression that matches URLs to the page
routeKeys	Object	For dynamic routes the mapping of URL placeholders to parsed route parameters
namedRegex	RegExp	Like regex, but named capturing groups are included to populate dynamic routing parameters

async function someMiddleware(req, res, next) {
  const route = await req.getNextRoute();
  if (route) {
    const { groups } = req.url.match(route.namedRegex);
    console.log(`Matched ${route.page} with parameters`, groups);
  }

  next();
}
