vlt Debuts New JavaScript Package Manager and Serverless Registry at NodeConf EU
vlt introduced its new package manager and a serverless registry this week, innovating in a space where npm has stagnated.

Connect is a family of libraries for building and consuming APIs on different languages and platforms, and [@connectrpc/connect](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@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.
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 theapp/
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.
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.
