MySQL Example
This is an example of using MySQL in a Next.js project.
Demo
https://next-mysql.vercel.app
Deploy your own
Once you have access to the environment variables you'll need, deploy the example using Vercel:
How to use
Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-mysql next-mysql-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-mysql next-mysql-app
Configuration
Step 1. Set up a MySQL database
Set up a MySQL server either locally or any cloud provider.
Step 2. Set up environment variables
Copy the env.local.example file in this directory to .env.local (which will be ignored by Git):
cp .env.local.example .env.local
Set each variable on .env.local:
MYSQL_HOST- Your MySQL host URL.MYSQL_DATABASE- The name of the MySQL database you want to use.MYSQL_USERNAME- The name of the MySQL user with access to database.MYSQL_PASSWORD- The passowrd of the MySQL user.
Step 3. Run migration script
You'll need to run a migration to create the necessary table for the example.
npm run migrate
# or
yarn migrate
Step 4. Run Next.js in development mode
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
Your app should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.
Deploy on Vercel
You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
Deploy Your Local Project
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel.
Important: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on Environment Variables and set them to match your .env.local file.
