Overview

Integrating Next.js into a Nest.js application has never been more straightforward with the nest-next module. This powerful tool enables developers to render Next.js pages effortlessly via Nest.js controllers, while also allowing them to provide initial props to those pages. This integration supports a seamless interaction between the two frameworks, ensuring that both frontend and backend functionalities work harmoniously together.

Designed primarily for those who are already familiar with Nest.js and Next.js, nest-next empowers you to leverage the advantages of server-side rendering with the familiar structure and capabilities of Nest.js. Whether you’re enhancing existing applications or embarking on new projects, this module simplifies the setup process and enhances productivity.

Features

• Easy Integration: Quickly set up Next.js within a Nest.js application with minimal configuration required.

• Customizable View Directory: Specify the folder inside the /pages directory to render from, giving developers flexibility in their project structure.

• Initial Props Support: Effortlessly pass initial props to your Next.js pages, enhancing dynamic rendering capabilities.

• Error Handling: Built-in error handling allows you to utilize Next.js’s error renderer and customize how errors are presented to users.

• Dev Mode: Automatic configuration for development mode ensures better error serialization and debugging capabilities, streamlining the development process.

• Pass-through 404s: Instead of handling 404 responses in Nest, you can forward them directly to Next’s request handler, maintaining the Next.js experience.

• TypeScript Ready: Full compatibility with TypeScript, including the necessary configurations to prevent common build issues.

• Flexible Rendering: Utilize the Render decorator for page rendering in your controllers, simplifying the rendering logic back to its essentials.
