Custom Express Server example

Most of the time the default Next.js server will be enough but there are times you'll want to run your own server to integrate into an existing application. Next.js provides a custom server api.

Because the Next.js server is a Node.js module you can combine it with any other part of the Node.js ecosystem. In this case we are using express.

How to use

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

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