(Question) dev server and custom response on specific routes

[Anatole Lucet]

Hi 👋, so here's my current next server which is based on express:

const express = require("express");
const next = require("next");
const path = require("path");

const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT, 10) || 3000;
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();

app.prepare().then(() => {
  const server = express();

  server.use("/something", express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public/static/something")));

  server.all("*", (req, res) => handle(req, res));

  server.listen(port, (err) => {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log(`> Ready on http://localhost:${port}`);
  });
});

I'm using this server for both production and local development so I always have access to my custom route /something. I'm wondering how I could port this server to next-boost since it seems to only be for production?

Hey @AnatoleLucet, I've added an example at https://github.com/rjyo/next-boost/tree/master/examples/with-express

Hope it helps!
