How to run node.js code and/or next.js api routes?

[hems]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for putting this together.

I'm wondering how to use node modules and/or next.js API routes when using next.js with nw.js?

Any chance this example could be updated to demo such functionalities?

Thank You

@hems Hello, apologies for the late response!

You install modules as dev dependencies and use them as usual. I'll soon add a build step to copy dependencies (not dev deps) from Node manifest to NW.js manifest (nwutils/nw-builder#842).

Next.js routing should work as it does as long as you work within the same window (https://nwjs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/References/Window/). I haven't explored routing with multiple windows though. This document from the wiki might help:

I will try to update the repo in the coming week. In the meantime if you get it to work feel free to open PR!
