This is a starter/example repo for creating websites with NextJS and API with Express on a monorepo, with yarn & lerna.
WEB (NextJS) will be running on http://localhost:3000 API (Express) will be running on http://localhost:3001 PROXY (Micro Proxy) will be running on http://localhost:9000
The web will be available on it's own http://localhost:3000 and also will be mapped to be the default http://localhost:9000/. The source code it's on packages/web and it can be deployed by it self.
The api will be available on it's own http://localhost:3001 and also will be mapped to http://localhost:9000/api on the proxy server so you can consume it easily from the website, the source code it's on packages/api and it can be deployed by it self.
Clone the repo.
git clone https://github.com/joecohens/next-express-monorepo-starter {project-name}
cd {project-name}
Copy the env files for each service.
cp packages/api/.env.example packages/api/.env
cp packages/web/.env.example packages/web/.env
Install dependencies only on the root thanks to yarn workspaces.
yarn install
Run the dev server from the root project.
yarn dev
You can run each service individually.
yarn dev:web
yarn dev:api
For more info look a the package.json scripts.
You can easily deploy each microservice using now and use alias paths to route exactly like micro-proxy, so you'll have the same production env.
I'll will add an example and scripts soon.
