Next Api Decorators
Collection of decorators to create typed Next.js API routes, with easy request validation and transformation.
Overview
The next-api-decorators package simplifies building serverless functions using classes and decorators within Next.js API routes, inspired by the NestJS framework. By combining the structure of NestJS with the simplicity of Next.js, developers can maintain order and enhance the efficiency of /pages/api codebase.
Features
- Declarative Structure: Simplifies the creation of API routes using classes and decorators.
- Inspired by NestJS: Draws heavily from the NestJS framework for organizing backend requirements.
- Ease of Use: Provides the best of both worlds by combining NestJS structure with Next.js simplicity.
- Route Matching: Allows for easy mapping of routes to corresponding methods.
- Middlewares: Enables the use of middlewares for handling request/response in a flexible manner.
- Pipes and Exceptions: Facilitates error handling through pipes and exception handling.
- Variety of Decorators: Includes a range of decorators for setting headers, defining HTTP methods, and accessing request parameters.
Summary
The next-api-decorators package offers a structured and efficient approach to building serverless functions in Next.js API routes. By leveraging classes and decorators, developers can benefit from the organization inspired by NestJS while maintaining the simplicity of Next.js. With features like route matching, middlewares, and a variety of decorators, this package provides a robust solution for handling API logic with ease.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Nest
A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable, and enterprise-grade server-side applications with TypeScript/JavaScript.
- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Vercel
Vercel offers built-in support for deploying and hosting Next.js applications, making it a popular choice among Next.js developers.
