# Examples for Next.js | ||
|
||
The examples in this directory illustrate the use of GRIP using | ||
a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) application as the backend. | ||
|
||
* [`http-stream/`](./http-stream) - HTTP streaming using GRIP. | ||
* [`websocket/`](./websocket) - WebSocket-over-HTTP using GRIP. | ||
|
||
For details on each example, view the `README` file in its | ||
respective directory. | ||
|
||
## Running the examples locally | ||
|
||
Each example can be run locally by running it alongside an instance of | ||
[Pushpin](https://pushpin.org/). | ||
|
||
To run the examples locally, you'll need: | ||
|
||
* Node.js (v18 or newer) | ||
* Pushpin - [installation instructions](https://pushpin.org/docs/install/) | ||
|
||
> NOTE: Instead of local Pushpin, you can also run the examples using Fastly Fanout for the GRIP proxy. | ||
See [Running the examples on Fastly Fanout](#running-the-examples-with-fastly-fanout-as-the-grip-proxy) below. | ||
|
||
1. Set up Pushpin by modifying the `routes` file with the following content | ||
(See [this page](https://pushpin.org/docs/configuration/) for details on | ||
Pushpin configuration): | ||
|
||
``` | ||
* 127.0.0.1:3000 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
2. Start Pushpin. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
pushpin | ||
``` | ||
|
||
By default, it will listen on port 7999, with a publishing | ||
endpoint open on port 5561. Leave Pushpin running in that terminal window. | ||
|
||
3. In a new terminal window, switch to the example's directory, and | ||
install dependencies: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
npm install | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Start the example: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
npm run start | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This will invoke [`next dev`](https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/installation#run-the-development-server) | ||
to start the local server to run the example application. | ||
|
||
5. Go on to follow the steps under each example's `README` file. | ||
|
||
## Description of common code between the examples | ||
|
||
Each example has the same general structure in an `src/` directory that contains: | ||
* `app/api/` to define the API endpoints | ||
* Checking GRIP status | ||
* Handling (specific to the example) | ||
* `utils/` directory | ||
* Configuring GRIP and instantiating the `Publisher` | ||
|
||
### API Routes | ||
|
||
Following the format of [Route Handlers](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers) | ||
in Next.js applications, these examples declare files in the `app/api/` directory. | ||
|
||
### Configuration of GRIP | ||
|
||
Each example interfaces with GRIP using the `Publisher` class. The code for this | ||
exists in the `src/utils/publisher.ts` file. | ||
|
||
To configure `Publisher`, a GRIP configuration object `gripConfig` is used. | ||
The example applications give it a default value of `http://127.0.0.1:5561/` to point to | ||
local Pushpin. | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
let gripConfig: string | IGripConfig = 'http://127.0.0.1:5561/'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
It may be overridden using a `GRIP_URL`, which in the Next.js backend application is set as | ||
an [environment variable](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/environment-variables). | ||
Additionally, in the example, the utility function `parseGripUri` is used to merge in the `GRIP_VERIFY_KEY` | ||
if it's required by the proxy. | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
let gripConfig: string | IGripConfig = 'http://127.0.0.1:5561/'; | ||
const gripUrl = process.env.GRIP_URL; | ||
if (gripUrl) { | ||
gripConfig = parseGripUri(gripUrl, { 'verify-key': process.env.GRIP_VERIFY_KEY }); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Alternatively, the values for `FANOUT_SERVICE_ID` and `FANOUT_API_TOKEN` are checked, and if present, | ||
they are used with the `buildFanoutGripConfig()` function to build the `gripConfig`. | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const fanoutServiceId = process.env.FANOUT_SERVICE_ID; | ||
const fanoutApiToken = process.env.FANOUT_API_TOKEN; | ||
if (fanoutServiceId != null && fanoutApiToken != null) { | ||
gripConfig = buildFanoutGripConfig({ | ||
serviceId: fanoutServiceId, | ||
apiToken: fanoutApiToken, | ||
}); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Finally, this `gripConfig` is used to instantiate `Publisher`. | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const publisher = new Publisher(gripConfig); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In the Next.js example, this initialization happens in the `src/utils/publisher.ts` file, | ||
and that single instance is reused among incoming requests. | ||
|
||
### GRIP status | ||
|
||
The backend application is intended to be called via a GRIP proxy. When the handler runs, | ||
a GRIP proxy will have inserted a `Grip-Sig` header into the request, which it has | ||
signed with a secret or key. | ||
|
||
Route handlers that issue GRIP instructions call `publisher.validateGripSig` to validate | ||
this header, storing the result in the `gripStatus` variable. | ||
```typescript | ||
const gripStatus = await publisher.validateGripSig(request.headers.get('grip-sig')); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This result can be checked for three fields: | ||
`gripStatus.isProxied` - When `true`, indicates that the current request is behind | ||
a GRIP proxy. If `needsSigned` is `true`, then this will only be `true` if the | ||
signature validation has also succeeded. | ||
`gripStatus.needsSigned` - When `true`, indicates that the GRIP proxy specified in the | ||
configuration signs incoming requests. | ||
`gripStatus.isSigned` - When `true`, indicates that the signature validation was successful. | ||
|
||
### Handling Routes | ||
|
||
The route handlers in each example handle requests in their respective ways. Refer | ||
to the README in each project for details. | ||
|
||
## Running the examples with Fastly Fanout as the GRIP proxy | ||
|
||
By publishing these examples publicly, they can also be run behind | ||
[Fastly Fanout](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fanout) to benefit from a global | ||
network and holding client connections at the edge. | ||
|
||
Aside from your backend application running publicly on the internet, | ||
you will need a separate Fastly Compute service with Fanout enabled. | ||
This Fastly service runs a small program at the edge that examines | ||
each request and performs a "handoff" to Fanout for relevant requests, | ||
allowing Fanout to hold client connections and interpret GRIP messages. | ||
|
||
The [Fastly Fanout Forwarding Starter Kit (JavaScript)](https://github.com/fastly/compute-starter-kit-javascript-fanout-forward#readme) | ||
can be used for this purpose. In many cases it can be used as is, | ||
or as a starting point for further customization. | ||
|
||
One simple way to do this is to host the example backend in a free "Hobby" | ||
[Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/accounts/plans#hobby) account, and then set up a Fastly service with a | ||
[free trial of Fanout](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/concepts/real-time-messaging/fanout/#enable-fanout). | ||
|
||
### Setting up Fastly and the Fanout Forwarding starter kit | ||
|
||
The following steps describe the process of setting up the | ||
[Fastly Fanout Forwarding Starter Kit (JavaScript)](https://github.com/fastly/compute-starter-kit-javascript-fanout-forward#readme) | ||
on your Fastly account. | ||
|
||
1. If you don't already have a Fastly account, sign up for [a free developer account](https://www.fastly.com/signup). | ||
|
||
2. Create a new API token (personal access token) that has `global` scope for your | ||
account. | ||
|
||
3. If you haven't already installed the Fastly CLI, [install it](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/tools/cli/). | ||
|
||
4. Set up the Fastly CLI with a [user profile](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/tools/cli/#configuring), | ||
using your API token from above. | ||
|
||
5. Create a new directory where you will set up Fastly Fanout Forwarding, and switch to the | ||
directory. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
mkdir fastly-fanout-forward | ||
cd fastly-fanout-forward | ||
``` | ||
|
||
6. Initialize the directory as a Fastly Compute application. Provide a name for the application, a description, and | ||
author info. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
fastly compute init --from=https://github.com/fastly/compute-starter-kit-javascript-fanout-forward | ||
``` | ||
|
||
7. Deploy the application to your Fastly account. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
fastly compute publish --status-check-off | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* You will be asked whether you want to create a new service. Reply `y`. Provide the following values: | ||
* **Service name**: Use the default value, or provide a name that you like. | ||
* **Domain**: Use the default value, or choose a subdomain of **edgecompute.app** that you like. | ||
* **Backend**: For now, do not specify any backends. | ||
* Your service will be packaged and deployed to a new service. | ||
* Make a note of the new service's ID (You'll need it to configure the publisher in the next section). | ||
|
||
8. You'll come back to Fastly to set up Fanout and origin host later. | ||
|
||
### Setting up the example (backend) code | ||
|
||
Follow the steps provided by [Vercel](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs) to set up your code to be deployed to | ||
Vercel's platform. | ||
|
||
You'll want to deploy and keep in mind the following: | ||
|
||
* You need to set up [environment variables](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/environment-variables) for your | ||
Vercel application to set up the environment variables needed to configure the | ||
`Publisher`. | ||
|
||
You may either provide `FANOUT_SERVICE_ID` and `FANOUT_API_TOKEN`, or `GRIP_URL` and `GRIP_VERIFY_KEY`. | ||
|
||
1. Using `FANOUT_SERVICE_ID` and `FANOUT_API_TOKEN`: | ||
* `FANOUT_SERVICE_ID` - Set this to your Fastly service ID. | ||
* `FANOUT_API_TOKEN` - Set this to your Fastly API token. | ||
2. Using `GRIP_URL`: | ||
* `GRIP_URL` - Set this to `'https://api.fastly.com/service/<SERVICE_ID>?key=<FASTLY_API_TOKEN>&verify-iss=fastly:<SERVICE_ID>'`. | ||
* Replace both instances of `<SERVICE_ID>` in the URL with your Fastly service ID. | ||
* Replace `<FASTLY_API_TOKEN>` in the URL with your Fastly API token. | ||
* Don't forget to put single quotes around the whole thing, so that Glitch can treat the colon and ampersand literally. | ||
* `GRIP_VERIFY_KEY` - Set this to the value `{\"kty\":\"EC\",\"crv\":\"P-256\",\"x\":\"CKo5A1ebyFcnmVV8SE5On-8G81JyBjSvcrx4VLetWCg\",\"y\":\"7gwJqaU6N8TP88--twjkwoB36f-pT3QsmI46nPhjO7M\"}` | ||
|
||
* You'll need to note the Public domain name of your Vercel application. Public domain names given by Vercel may | ||
look something like this: `<name>.vercel.app`. | ||
|
||
### Enable Fanout on your Fastly service, and point it at your backend | ||
|
||
1. Switch back to the terminal window where you deployed your Fastly Fanout Forwarding service. | ||
|
||
2. Type the following command to add the example application to your Fastly service as a backend with the name `origin`. | ||
Insert the public hostname of your example backend in the command below. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
fastly backend create --autoclone --version=active --name=origin --address=<example public hostname> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
3. Activate the newly created version. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
fastly service-version activate --version=latest | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Enable Fanout on your service. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
fastly products --enable=fanout | ||
``` | ||
5. Wait a moment for the updates to deploy across Fastly's network. | ||
|
||
6. Go on to follow the steps under each example's `README` file. | ||
|
||
When you do this, access the application at your Fastly service's domain name (e.g., `https://<something>.edgecompute.app/`) | ||
instead of your local Pushpin address. | ||
