Next.js Proxy is a powerful tool that enables you to create a web proxy, mirror a desired website, and host the application on Vercel. By following these expert instructions, you can set up Next.js Proxy and deploy it on Vercel:

  1. Create a Next.js Project:

    • Set up a new Next.js project or use an existing one. Ensure you have Next.js installed globally or within your project.
  2. Install Dependencies:

    • Open your project directory in a terminal or command prompt.
    • Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
      npm install http-proxy-middleware next
      
  3. Configure the Proxy:

    • Within your Next.js project, create a new directory named api.

    • Inside the api directory, create a file named proxy.js.

    • In proxy.js, import the required modules:

      const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');
      const { NextApiHandler } = require('next');
    • Implement the proxy configuration and create a Next.js API route handler:

      const targetHost = 'https://example.com'; // Replace with your desired website URL
      
      const proxy = createProxyMiddleware({
        target: targetHost,
        changeOrigin: true,
      });
      
      const handler = (req, res) => {
        proxy(req, res);
      };
      
      export default handler;
  4. Deploy on Vercel:

    • Commit your changes to a version control system (e.g., Git).
    • Connect your Next.js project to a Git repository, such as GitHub or GitLab, using the Vercel dashboard.
    • Configure the deployment settings, such as the branch to deploy and the build command (typically npm run build).
    • Once configured, deploy your Next.js project on Vercel by initiating the deployment process.
  5. Verify and Use the Proxy:

    • Once the deployment is successful, Vercel will provide you with a unique URL for your application.
    • Access the deployed application and append /api/proxy to the URL ( e.g., https://your-vercel-project.vercel.app/api/proxy).
    • This will act as the proxy endpoint, mirroring the desired website specified in the targetHost variable.

By following these expert instructions, you can leverage Next.js Proxy to create a web proxy and host the application on Vercel. This allows you to mirror a desired website while utilizing the power and scalability of the Vercel hosting platform.

You will now have successfully forked the repository and rewritten the target host name in the api/proxy.js file. These actions allow you to create your own copy of the repository and customize the target host to suit your needs.

const {createProxyMiddleware} = require("http-proxy-middleware");

module.exports = (req, res) => {
    let target = "https://www.google.com/";//your website url
    //   if (
    //     req.url.startsWith("/api") ||
    //     req.url.startsWith("/auth") ||
    //     req.url.startsWith("/banner") ||
    //     req.url.startsWith("/CollegeTask")
    //   ) {
    //     target = "http://106.15.2.32:6969";
    //   }

    createProxyMiddleware({
        target,
        changeOrigin: true,
        pathRewrite: {
            // rewrite request path `/backend`
            //  /backend/user/login => https://google.com/user/login
