golang-nextjs-portable

golang-nextjs-portable is a small Go program to showcase the embed package for bundling a static HTML export of a Next.js app.

👉 Read the companion article that walks through this project.

Requirements

• Go 1.18
• Yarn

Note: While the embed package was added in Go 1.16, the all: prefix of the embed directive was added in 1.18. We use all: in this project because Next.js static exports contain files and direcories with underscore prefixes.

Installing

Clone or download the repository:

$ git clone git@github.com:dstotijn/golang-nextjs-portable.git

Usage

From the repository root directory, generate the static HTML export of the Next.js app, and build the Go binary:

$ cd nextjs
$ yarn install
$ yarn run export
$ cd ..
$ go build .

Then run the binary:

$ ./golang-nextjs-portable
