Custom server with TypeScript + Nodemon example

The example shows how you can use TypeScript on both the server and the client while using Nodemon to live reload the server code without affecting the Next.js universal code.

Server entry point is server/index.ts in development and dist/index.js in production. The second directory should be added to .gitignore.

How to use

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example custom-server-typescript custom-server-typescript-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example custom-server-typescript custom-server-typescript-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/vercel/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/custom-server-typescript
cd custom-server-typescript

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev
