nextjs-api-platform-prototype

Explores some features of Next.JS such as server side rendering. Also explores some features of React Hook Form and React Query.

Setup

Install dependencies

yarn --cwd client/ composer install -d server/

Create client/.env.local (see client/.env.your_env.local.dist)

Customize all empty variables.

Create server/.env.local (see server/.env.your_env.local.dist)

Customize all empty variables.

If you use MariaDB, DB_VERSION should start with mariadb- then the version number, else only specifying the version number should suffice.

Setup LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle

php server/bin/console lexik:jwt:generate-keypair

Setup database

php server/bin/console doctrine:database:create php server/bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate

Run in dev env

Run in dedicated terminals:

• php -t server/public -S localhost:8000, the port must be the same as the one specified in NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL (in client/.env.your_env.local.dist)
• yarn --cwd client/ dev

You can now access the application at http://localhost:3000/login.
Once you are logged-in, navigate to http://localhost:3000/users/list.
The Next.JS server will act as a proxy for API requests to http://localhost:8000 to allow the auth cookie to be 'shared' between the two origins even though they don't share a domain. It should not be an issue in production as both servers should share a domain (e.g. the Next.JS app could be on https://example.com and the API on https://api.example.com and AUTH_COOKIES_DOMAIN value could be example.com).
