next-superjson2 v0.6.1

/pages (Pages Directory)

export default function Page({ date }) {
  return <div>Today is {date.toDateString()}</div>;
}

// You can also use getInitialProps, getStaticProps
export const getServerSideProps = () => {
  return {
    props: {
      date: new Date(),
    },
  };
};

• Allows pre-rendering functions to return props including Non-JSON Values(Date, Map, Set..)

/app (App Directory)

// Use "data-superjson" attribute to pass non-serializable props to client components
// No needs to change the propsType of Client Component (It's type-safe!)

export default function ServerComponent() {
  const date = new Date();
  return <ClientComponent date={date} data-superjson />;
}

• Provides data-superjson attribute for Server Component > Client Component Serialization.

Usage

Install packages first:

npm install superjson next-superjson2
# or Yarn
yarn add superjson next-superjson2

Add the plugin into next.config.js

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  experimental: {
    swcPlugins: [["next-superjson2", {}]],
  },
};

Options

You can use the excluded option to exclude specific properties from serialization.

['next-superjson2', { excluded: ["someProp"] }],

Bug Report

⚠️ Keep in mind: SWC Plugin is still an experimental feature for Next.js

Plugin always ensures compatibility with Next.js Canary version only.
