feathers-next-example

This is a setup about how to use feathers along with next.js.

What about the code

The feathers part are based on the code generated from the feathers-cli. Which I think should make people understand more easily(because I consider this as the official way).

Folder Structure

• client: next.js part;
• server: feathers part;

Including some optimizing and request handling tips.

How to dev

Normally, you just use npm run server:dev, then you can work on the server and client at the same time. It will run feathers.js. But any changes you made in the ./client/ part will be hot reloaded and reflect to the actual page.

If you only want to work on the client side, just call npm run client:dev

How to deploy

1. npm run client:build: To bundle the production ready code.
2. npm run server:start:prod: To start the server. (You might want to use PM2 or nodemon here.)

How to check it works

• Run the feathers server: npm run server:dev
• Open http://localhost:3030, see next page
• Open http://localhost:3030/users, see feathers.js error page
• Update ./client/pages/index.js, see the hot module reloading

Important

Every time you add a feathers service, make sure to add it to feathersServices in ./server/middleware/next.js like this:

const feathersServices = {
  '/users': true,
};
