Next.js w/ Custom Express Server example for Heroku

How to use

git clone https://github.com/mars/heroku-nextjs-custom-server-express
cd heroku-nextjs-custom-server-express

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev

Then, visit http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser.

Deploy it to the cloud with Heroku:

⚠️ Requires installing Heroku CLI

heroku create
git add .
git commit -m 'Next.js app on Heroku'
git push heroku master

Heroku auto-detects that this is a Node.js app, and then executes:

  • npm install
  • npm run build
  • and then launches the app NODE_ENV=production npm start.

👉 An example deployment of master is running at https://nextjs-server.herokuapp.com/.

The idea behind the example

A version of Next's example/custom-server-express revised to deploy to Heroku.

Most of the times the default Next server will be enough but sometimes you want to run your own server to customize routes or other kind of the app behavior. Next provides a Custom server and routing so you can customize as much as you want.

Because the Next.js server is just a node.js module you can combine it with any other part of the node.js ecosystem. in this case we are using express to build a custom router on top of Next.

The example shows a server that serves the component living in pages/a.js when the route /b is requested and pages/b.js when the route /a is accessed. This is obviously a non-standard routing strategy. You can see how this custom routing is being made inside server.js.

heroku-nextjs-custom-server-express's Issues

Action required: Greenkeeper could not be activated 🚨

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on all branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because it uses your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we didn’t receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, it’s possible that you don’t have CI set up yet. We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check how it’s configured. Make sure it is set to run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on absolutely every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

Once you have installed and configured CI on this repository correctly, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial pull request. To do this, please delete the greenkeeper/initial branch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper App’s white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organization’s settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.

How to pass slug into page component?

server.get('/page/:slug', (req, res) => {
        return nextApp.render(req, res, '/page/[pid].js?slug=$slug', req.params.slug)
      })

How can I access the slug from my page component?

How does heroku know to use assets from inside .next folder?

Hi,
I am writing in here only because I could not find a way to add a comment in your page.
I saw we are able to push to heroku and run next build with heroku-postbuild.
I am unable to understand how heroku knows to use assets / code from inside .next folder created using next build.
Please help me understand.
