Soya Next is a set of utility functions for React applications built on top of Next.js.
To start using Soya Next, you need to be familiar with the following:
And optionally:
This is a quick start to help you bootstrap soya-next project in no time. It should cover everything in the getting started section.
npm install -g soya-next-cli
soya-next-cli app-name
cd app-name
npm start
You are done! Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see your app running.
Soya Next requires Express.js, Next.js, React, React-Cookie, React-Redux, and Redux to be installed, run the following to install them:
npm install --save express next.js react react-cookie react-dom react-redux redux
To install Soya Next, run the following:
npm install --save soya-next
In your project root directory, create next.config.js with the following:
const { createNextConfig } = require('soya-next');
module.exports = createNextConfig();
This will configure your app to support CSS modules, SASS, image import, and global app configuration.
In your project root directory, create server.js with the following:
const express = require('express');
const next = require('next');
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const { createRouter } = require('soya-next/server/router');
app.prepare()
.then(() => {
const server = express();
server.use(createRouter(app));
server.listen(3000, err => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3000');
});
})
.catch(ex => {
console.error(ex.stack);
process.exit(1);
});
Then, create a directory called pages and add index.js as a sample page into it with the following:
import Head from 'next/head';
import { createPage } from 'soya-next';
const IndexPage = () => (
<div>
<Head><title>Soya Next Project</title></Head>
<p>This is your project homepage</p>
</div>
);
export default createPage()(IndexPage);
That's it! To start your app run the following:
node server.js
To use npm start or yarn start instead, add the following to your package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js"
}
}
Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
applyReducers([reducers])Register reducers to be loaded dynamically so you won't need to worry about it anymore.
reducers] (Object): An object of reducers which will be loaded dynamically with the given name.
Note: Make sure each reducers has unique name within your application reducers.
(Function): A higher order React component class.
import { bindActionCreators, compose } from 'redux';
import { applyReducers } from 'soya-next/redux';
const reducers = {
todos(state = [], action) {
switch (action.type) {
case 'ADD_TODO':
return state.concat(action.text);
default:
return state;
}
},
};
const mapStateToProps = state => ({
todos: state.todos,
});
const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => bindActionCreators({
addTodo: (text) => ({
type: 'ADD_TODO',
text,
}),
}, dispatch);
export default compose(
applyReducers(reducers),
connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)
)(Component);
createDocument()Collects and hydrates all CSS Modules which have already been injected into pages by styled-modules.
(Document): Custom <Document /> which performs server side rendering.
import { createDocument } from 'soya-next/server/document';
export default createDocument();
createNextConfig([nextConfig])Configures your app to support CSS Modules, SASS, image import, and global app configuration. To customize your own configuration, please read here.
nextConfig] (Object): An object of next configuration with the following properties:
assetPrefix] (String): Asset prefix for CDN usage. See here for details.distDir] (String): Build directory, default is .next. See here for details.webpack] (Function(config, { dev })): Webpack config. See here for details.webpackDevMiddleware] (Function(config)): Webpack dev middleware. See here for details.(Object): An enhanced object of next configuration.
const { createNextConfig } = require('soya-next/server/next-config');
module.exports = createWebpackConfig(/*
{
assetPrefix: '', // replace it with your CDN host if you use one
distDir: '.next', // replace it to use other build directory name
webpack: (config, { dev }) => {
// customize your webpack config here
},
webpackDevMiddleware: (config) => {
// customize your webpack dev middleware config here
},
}
*/);
createPage([...connectArgs])(Page, [reducers])Configures and connects to Redux store, loads reducers dynamically, handles client side URL redirection, and makes cookie, default locale, locale, site locales, and url available as Page props and in the getInitialProps lifecycle method.
It will also make them available to the component hierarchy below, through the following method calls:
withCookies() calls, imported from react-cookie.withLocale() calls, imported from soya-next/i18n.withUrl() calls, imported from soya-next/router....connectArgs] (Connect Arguments)Page (ReactComponent): Page component to be enhanced.reducers] (Object): An object of reducers which will be loaded dynamically with the given name.
Note: Make sure each reducers has unique name within your application reducers.
(ReactComponent): An enhanced Page component class.
import { createPage } from 'soya-next'
const Page = () => (
<div>This is your page</div>
);
Page.getInitialProps = (ctx) => {};
export default createPage()(Page);
createRouter(app, [options])Creates locale aware express router with universal cookie and gzip enabled (production only), also serves static assets which are generated from importing assets directly inside modules.
app (Next Server)options] (Object):
routes] (Object.<Object>): An object which key is a route path and value is an object with the following properties:
page (String): Path to page component.method] (String): HTTP method, default is GET.redirects] (Object.<Object>): An object which key is a redirection source path and value is an object with the following properties:
to (String): Redirection target path.method] (String): HTTP method, default is GET.status] (Number): HTTP status code for redirection, default is 301.compression] (Object): See here for compression options.defaultLocale] (String): A locale string used as fallback locale, e.g. id-id, en-id, etc.siteLocales] (Array.<String>): An array of locale string supported by your app.(Express.Router): An object of express router.
const express = require('express');
const next = require('next');
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const { createRouter } = require('soya-next/server/router');
app.prepare()
.then(() => {
const server = express();
server.use(createRouter(app));
server.listen(3000, err => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3000');
});
})
.catch(ex => {
console.error(ex.stack);
process.exit(1);
});
withLocale()Give access to default locale, locale, and site locales.
(Function): A higher order React component class that passes defaultLocale, locale, and siteLocales into your component props.
import { withLocale } from 'soya-next/i18n';
export default withLocale(({
locale,
defaultLocale,
siteLocales,
}) => (
<div>
<div>Current locale is {locale}</div>
<div>Default locale is {defaultLocale}</div>
<div>Supported site locales are {siteLocales.join(', ')}</div>
</div>
));
<LocaleLink />Locale aware <Link /> component for routing. See here for <Link /> documentation.
locale] (String): A locale string, e.g. id-id, en-id, etc.import LocaleLink from 'soya-next/link';
const languages = {
id: 'Bahasa',
en: 'English',
};
const countries = {
id: 'Indonesia',
sg: 'Singapore',
};
const LanguagePicker = () => (
<div>
['id-id', 'en-id', 'en-sg'].map((siteLocale) => {
const [language, country] = siteLocale.split('-')
return (
<LocaleLink locale={{ language, country }}>
<a>{languages[language]} ({countries[country]})</a>
</LocaleLink>
);
});
</div>
);
export default (props) => (
<div>
<LocaleLink href='/'>Home</LocaleLink />
<LocaleLink href='/about'>About</LocaleLink />
