vite-plugin-mockapi

This is a plugin origin fork from vite-plugin-mix

Motivation

Writing front-end and back-end API in a single project allows faster development (imo), this plugin essentially brings Next.js' API routes to your Vite app.

Install

npm i vite-plugin-mockapi -D

Usage

vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import mockapi from 'vite-plugin-mockapi'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    mockapi.default({
      handler: './handler.ts',
    }),
  ],
})

handler.ts:

import type { Handler } from 'vite-plugin-mockapi'

export const handler: Handler = (req, res, next) => {
  if (req.path === '/hello') {
    return res.end('hello')
  }
  next()
}

The handler runs before serving static files, so you should make sure to call next() as a fallback. You can also use express-compatible middlewares in the handler.

To start developing, run the command vite as usual.

To create a production build, run the command vite build as usual.

Now vite build will create a server build to ./build folder alongside your regular client build which is the ./dist folder by default. To run the production build as a Node.js server, run node build/server.js.

Request flow

Adapters

Node.js

By default the server is built for Node.js target, you can run node build/server.js after vite build to start the production server.

By default the server runs at port 3000, you can switch to a custom port by using the PORT environment variable.

Guide

Using Express

import express from 'express'

const app = express()

export const handler = app

Using Polka

import polka from 'polka'


export const handler = (req, res, next) => {
   const app = polka({
     onNoMatch: () => next()
   })
   
   return app.handler(req, res)
}

Using Apollo GraphQL

import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server-micro'
import { typeDefs } from './schemas'
import { resolvers } from './resolvers'

const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })

const GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT = '/api/graphql'

const apolloHandler = apolloServer.createHandler({ path: GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT })

export const handler = (req, res, next) => {
  if (req.path === '/api/graphql') {
    return apolloHandler
  }
  next()
}

You can also use express + apollo-server-express if you want.
