NextJs + custom ExpressJs server (typescript)

[stychu]

Question

Hi there, Im researching how to build a NextJs project with custom Express server. According to the docs and If I understand correctly I should be able to use pkgroll to be able to build my custom express server written in typescript and serve it as just plain js.

My project contains:

/src - (NextJS app)
/root-server - (custom express server)

The /src is being build by next next build where the /root-server should be build by pkgroll. Could you point me how to configure pkgroll to /root-server and output build to the ./dist/root-server/...

Ideally I would have a configuration where next app is build by next build, server is build by pkgrool and dev env is run in watch mode by tsx

Try doing pkgroll --help. There should be flags to change the src and dist directories. Examples in tests: https://github.com/privatenumber/pkgroll/blob/develop/tests/specs/builds/src-dist.ts
