next-preset

An easy to use preset for Next.js projects at Lightbase

Page extensions

The following page extensions are configured by next-preset: api.ts, page.tsx

This means that _app.tsx becomes _app.page.tsx, _document.tsx becomes _document.page.tsx, etc.

This configuration allows the placement of component files in the /pages directory, for storing local components with the page they're used on, without them becoming available as a route.

Default headers

These headers are configured by default, because they're considered good security practice. You can overwrite these headers by setting the header yourself in next.config.js.

Header	Value
x-frame-options	deny
content-security-policy.	frame-ancestors 'none'
x-content-type-options	nosniff
Referrer-Policy	same-origin
Strict-Transport-Security	max-age=31536000
Permissions-Policy	interest-cohort=()

Browser compatibility

When next-preset is used, a check is run on next build to make sure that the output does not contain any non-ES5 JavaScript code. This is done so your app does not unexpectedly break in certain browsers.

When offending output is found, the build fails and you're notified.

You might want to add the following entries to `preset.transpileModules` in `next.config.js`:

- yup

Most modules can be transpiled. Modules that can't be transpiled can be ignored. Be sure to check if the module can be safely ignored or if you need to take additional steps per the modules' instructions.

Transpile modules

next-transpile-modules is included and configured by next-preset.

Modules to be transpiled can be added by setting the preset.transpileModules option in next.config.js.

const { withPreset } = require("@lightbase/next-preset");

module.exports = withPreset({
  ...
  preset: {
    transpileModules: [
      "yup",
      "dequal",
    ],
    ...
  },
  ...
});

Ignore modules

Some modules produce non-ES5 code and cannot be transpiled, e.g. Mapbox-GL. Usually the module does not support older browsers, so it does not make sense for them to transpile to ES5 or support it.

Modules to be ignored can be added by setting the preset.ignoreModules option in next.config.js.

const { withPreset } = require("@lightbase/next-preset");

module.exports = withPreset({
  ...
  preset: {
    ignoreModules: ["mapbox-gl"],
    ...
  },
  ...
});

Source maps

In order for the browser compatibility check to function, source maps are enabled and will be available alongside your app.

If you're using @sentry/nextjs, source maps are already enabled.
