next-nginx-routes

Generate Nginx routes configuration file for Next.js static HMTL export.

This NPM package allows you to convert Next.js routes like:

{
  "page": "/[foo]",
  "regex": "^/([^/]+?)(?:/)?$",
  "routeKeys": { "foo": "foo" },
  "namedRegex": "^/(?<foo>[^/]+?)(?:/)?$"
}

... into Nginx routes like:

location ~ ^/([^/]+?)(?:/)?$ {
  try_files /[foo].html /index.html;
}

Getting started
