Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

next-http

Higher Order Component to mount arbitrary HTTP request handlers as Next.js pages. (When rendering on the server side.)

Allows to more easily expose custom handlers (e.g. for simple API endpoints) while still leveraging Next.js's bundling, transpilation, routing and hot code reloading functionality.

Compatible with Connect, Express and Koa apps / middleware.

Important: Rendering this component on the client side will result in an error. To prevent shipping your back end code to the client side, you should instruct webpack to ignore the server-only files via webpack.IgnorePlugin. See the example below.

Example

pages/api/my-endpoint.js

import http from '../../../';
import connect from 'connect';

const app = connect();

app.use((req, res) => {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
    res.end('Hello, world');
});

export default http(app);

next.config.js

const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
    webpack: (config, { buildId, dev, isServer, defaultLoaders }) => {
        if (!isServer) {
            // Exclude all paths starting with ./pages/api/ from webpack builds
            config.plugins.push(new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^\.\/pages\/api\/.*$/))
        }
        return config
    },
}

FAQ

Q. What's the point of using this instead of just responding to HTTP requests directly on getInitialProps()?

Mostly to reduce boilerplate. This module will gracefully wait until the HTTP request handler is done serving the request. It also looks cleaner IMO.

Q. How can I handle POST / DELETE / PUT requests? I get a 501 Not Implemented response from Next.js

Next.js will by default refuse non GET / HEAD HTTP requests on its filesystem router. You'll need to use a custom server with routing.
