| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This plugin helps add support for generating Netlify Edge Functions. This is mostly intended for frameworks that need to generate a catch-all Edge Function to serve all requests. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +By default, it sets `outDir` to `.netlify/edge-functions/handler`, and generates an Edge Functions manifest that defines the `handler` function for all requests. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +To help with handling static files, it registers a virtual module called `@static-manifest` that exports a `Set` that includes the paths of all files in `publicDir`. This can be used in the handler to identify requests for static files. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +# Usage |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Install the plugin: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +```shell |
| 14 | +npm i -D @netlify-labs/vite-plugin-netlify-edge |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Then add the following to your `.vite.config.js`: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```js |
| 20 | +// vite.config.js |
| 21 | +import { defineConfig } from 'vite' |
| 22 | +import netlifyEdge from '@netlify-labs/vite-plugin-netlify-edge' |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +export default defineConfig({ |
| 25 | + plugins: [netlifyEdge()], |
| 26 | +}) |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +You can disable any of these features by passing options to the `netlifyEdge()` function: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```js |
| 32 | +// vite.config.js |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +// ... |
| 35 | +export default defineConfig({ |
| 36 | + plugins: [netlifyEdge({ generateEdgeFunctionsManifest: false })], |
| 37 | +}) |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You can pass additional static paths to the plugin, so that they are also included. They are paths not filenames, so should include a leading slash and be URL-encoded. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +```js |
| 43 | +// vite.config.js |
| 44 | +import { defineConfig } from 'vite' |
| 45 | +import netlifyEdge from '@netlify-labs/vite-plugin-netlify-edge' |
| 46 | +import glob from 'fast-glob' |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +export default defineConfig({ |
| 49 | + plugins: [ |
| 50 | + netlifyEdge({ |
| 51 | + additionalStaticPaths: glob |
| 52 | + .sync('**/*.{js,css}', { cwd: 'dist/client' }) |
| 53 | + .map((path) => `/${encodeURI(path)}`), |
| 54 | + }), |
| 55 | + ], |
| 56 | +}) |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +If you need to add all paths under a directory then it is likely to be more efficient to check the prefix instead of adding all files individually. See the example below, where every path under `/assets/` is served from the CDN. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +In order to use this plugin to create Edge Functions you must define an SSR entrypoint: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```js |
| 64 | +// handler.js |
| 65 | +import { handleRequest } from 'my-framework' |
| 66 | +import staticFiles from '@static-manifest' |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +export const handler = async (request, { next }) => { |
| 69 | + // Handle static files |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + const { pathname } = new URL(request.url) |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + // If your framework generates client assets in a subdirectory, you can add these too |
| 74 | + if (staticFiles.includes(pathname) || pathname.startsWith('assets/')) { |
| 75 | + return next() |
| 76 | + } |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + // "handleRequest" is defined by your framework |
| 79 | + try { |
| 80 | + return await handleRequest(request) |
| 81 | + } catch (err) { |
| 82 | + return { |
| 83 | + body: 'Internal Server Error', |
| 84 | + statusCode: 500, |
| 85 | + } |
| 86 | + } |
| 87 | +} |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +You can then build it using the vite CLI: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```shell |
| 93 | +vite build --ssr = handler.js |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +This will generate the Edge Function `.netlify/edge-functions/handler/index.js` and a manifest file `.netlify/edge-functions/manifest.json` that defines the `handler` function. |
