@connectrpc/connect-next

Connect is a family of libraries for building and consuming APIs on different languages and platforms, and @connectrpc/connect brings type-safe APIs with Protobuf to TypeScript.

@connectrpc/connect-next provides a plugin for Next.js, the React Framework for the Web.

nextJsApiRouter()

Provide your Connect RPCs via Next.js API routes. To enable Connect in Next.js, add two files to your project:

.
├── connect.ts
└── pages
    └── api
        └── [[...connect]].ts

Note: Next.js 13 introduced the new App Router. Your Connect API routes need to be placed in pages/, but you can use the app/ directory for the App Router at the same time.

The new file connect.ts is where you register your RPCs:

// connect.ts
import { ConnectRouter } from "@connectrpc/connect";

export default function (router: ConnectRouter) {
  // implement rpc Say(SayRequest) returns (SayResponse)
  router.rpc(ElizaService, ElizaService.methods.say, async (req) => ({
    sentence: `you said: ${req.sentence}`,
  }));
}

pages/api/[[..connect]].ts is a Next.js catch-all API route:

// pages/api/[[..connect]].ts
import { nextJsApiRouter } from "@connectrpc/connect-next";
import routes from "../../connect";

const { handler, config } = nextJsApiRouter({ routes });
export { handler as default, config };

With that server running, you can make requests with any Connect or gRPC-Web client. Note that Next.js serves all your RPCs with the /api prefix.

curl with the Connect protocol:

curl \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"sentence": "I feel happy."}' \
    --http2-prior-knowledge \
    http://localhost:3000/api/connectrpc.eliza.v1.ElizaService/Say

Node.js with the gRPC-web protocol (using a transport from @connectrpc/connect-node):

import { createClient } from "@connectrpc/connect";
import { createGrpcWebTransport } from "@connectrpc/connect-node";
import { ElizaService } from "./gen/eliza_connect.js";

const transport = createGrpcWebTransport({
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000/api",
  httpVersion: "1.1",
});

const client = createClient(ElizaService, transport);
const { sentence } = await client.say({ sentence: "I feel happy." });
console.log(sentence); // you said: I feel happy.

A client for the web browser actually looks identical to this example - it would simply use createConnectTransport from @connectrpc/connect-web instead.

Note that support for gRPC is limited, since many gRPC clients require HTTP/2, and Express does not support the Node.js http2 module.

Deploying to Vercel

Currently, @connectrpc/connect-next does not support the Vercel Edge runtime. It requires the Node.js server runtime, which is used by default when deploying to Vercel.
