[DEPRECATED] Hello World example

How to use

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with Yarn or npx to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example hello-world hello-world-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example hello-world hello-world-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/hello-world
cd hello-world

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev

Deploy it to the cloud with now (download)

The idea behind the example

This example shows the most basic idea behind Next. We have 2 pages: pages/index.js and pages/about.js. The former responds to / requests and the latter to /about. Using next/link you can add hyperlinks between them with universal routing capabilities. The day directory shows that you can have subdirectories.

faunadb-vercel-sample-app's Issues

Rename repository to faunadb-vercel-sample-app

This really isn't a big deal, but I think it might be helpful if the repository was renamed to "faunadb-vercel-sample-app", as Zeit has recently changed their name to Vercel. This might be extra useful in the future, especially if developers forget that Vercel's old name was Zeit.

Thanks for all the awesome work you do at Fauna and it is amazing!

Question: Does this support local development?

Looking at the following code I noticed developing locally is not possible, is there a way around this?

App.getInitialProps = async ({ req }) => {
  try {
    const { 'x-now-deployment-url': nowURL } = req.headers;

    if (!nowURL) {
      throw new NotDeployedError();
    }

should we disable keepAlive in zeit api lambdas?
