graffiti-plugin-next

Next.js plugin for Graffiti.js

Create Next.js pages with Graffiti.js GraphQL backend.

Installation

npm install graffiti-plugin-next next react react-dom

Note: Next.js, React and React-DOM are peer dependencies and should be installed along with the plugin.

Usage

Create a graffiti.config.js in your project

const nextPlugin = require('graffiti-plugin-next');

module.exports = {
  mongoUrl: 'mongodb://localhost/graffiti',
  plugins: [nextPlugin()],
};

Development mode

By default Graffiti will use nodemon in development mode to auto-restart server on file changes.
This makes Next.js development experience suboptimal. If you wish to use hot reload provided by Next.js, you'll need to create custom nodemon.json config that ignores changes to pages/ folder, e.g.:

{
  "ignore": [".git", "node_modules", "pages/**/*"]
}

Building for production

Please remember that to create Next.js build for production you need to execute next build manually as usual, e.g.:

{
  "name": "example-plugin-next",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production graffiti",
    "build": "next build",
    "develop": "graffiti dev"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "graffiti": "*",
    "graffiti-plugin-next": "*",
    "next": "*",
    "react": "*",
    "react-dom": "*"
  }
}
