micro-next

Integrations between Micro and Next.js.

Usage

Install it from npm:

yarn add micro-next

Create a routes.json file with a list of pages, similar to this one:

[
  {
    "method": "GET",
    "path": "/blog",
    "page": "/blog/posts",
    "name": "blog-posts"
  },
  {
    "method": "GET",
    "path": "/blog/:post",
    "page": "/blog/post",
    "name": "blog-post"
  }
]

Create a server.js file with the following code:

const routes = require("./routes.json");
const microNext = require("micro-next");

module.exports = microNext({
  routes,
  next: {
    dev: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production"
  }
});

And if you want to easily integrate this client side create a lib/get-page.js file with the following content:

import get from "micro-next/get";
import routes from "../routes.json";

export default get(routes);

Now you can use it with next/link:

import Link from "next/link";
import getPage from "lib/get-page.js";

export default () => (
  <Link {...getPage("blog-post", { post: 1 })}>
    <a>Go to blog post 1</a>
  </Link>
);
