# Custom server with TypeScript + Nodemon example

The example shows how you can use [TypeScript](https://typescriptlang.com) on both the server and the client while using [Nodemon](https://nodemon.io/) 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`](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) to bootstrap the example:

```bash
npm init 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:

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

Install it and run:

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev
```
