This template builds a simple application using the Next.js web framework. It includes a minimal application skeleton that demonstrates how to set up an optimized build using Next.js and Yarn, as well as how to begin defining individual pages (such as the /api/hello) endpoint that comes pre-defined with this template.
Next.js is an open-source web framework written for Javascript.
- Node.js 14
- Automatic TLS certificates
- yarn-based build
The following files and additions make the framework work on Platform.sh, modified from the npx command create-next-app. If using this project as a reference for your own existing project, replicate the changes below to your project.
- The
.platform.app.yaml,.platform/services.yaml, and.platform/routes.yamlfiles have been added. These provide Platform.sh-specific configuration and are present in all projects on Platform.sh. You may customize them as you see fit. - An additional module,
config-reader-nodejs, has been added. It provides convenience wrappers for accessing the Platform.sh environment variables. - A
handle_mounts.shscript has been added. This script handles committed files pushed to directories also defined as mounts on Platform.sh.
