@json-render/next

Next.js renderer that converts JSON specs into full Next.js applications with routes, pages, layouts, metadata, and SSR support.

Quick Start

npm install @json-render/core @json-render/react @json-render/next

1. Define Your Spec

// lib/spec.ts
import type { NextAppSpec } from "@json-render/next";

export const spec: NextAppSpec = {
  metadata: {
    title: { default: "My App", template: "%s | My App" },
    description: "A json-render Next.js application",
  },
  layouts: {
    main: {
      root: "shell",
      elements: {
        shell: { type: "Container", props: {}, children: ["nav", "slot"] },
        nav: { type: "NavBar", props: { links: [
          { href: "/", label: "Home" },
          { href: "/about", label: "About" },
        ]}, children: [] },
        slot: { type: "Slot", props: {}, children: [] },
      },
    },
  },
  routes: {
    "/": {
      layout: "main",
      metadata: { title: "Home" },
      page: {
        root: "hero",
        elements: {
          hero: { type: "Card", props: { title: "Welcome" }, children: [] },
        },
      },
    },
    "/about": {
      layout: "main",
      metadata: { title: "About" },
      page: {
        root: "content",
        elements: {
          content: { type: "Card", props: { title: "About Us" }, children: [] },
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

2. Create the App

// lib/app.ts
import { createNextApp } from "@json-render/next/server";
import { spec } from "./spec";

export const { Page, generateMetadata, generateStaticParams } = createNextApp({
  spec,
  loaders: {
    // Server-side data loaders (optional)
    loadPost: async ({ slug }) => {
      const post = await getPost(slug as string);
      return { post };
    },
  },
});

3. Wire Up Route Files

// app/[[...slug]]/page.tsx
export { Page as default, generateMetadata, generateStaticParams } from "@/lib/app";

// app/[[...slug]]/layout.tsx
import { NextAppProvider } from "@json-render/next";
import { registry, handlers } from "@/lib/registry";

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <NextAppProvider registry={registry} handlers={handlers}>
          {children}
        </NextAppProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Key Concepts

NextAppSpec

The top-level spec defines an entire Next.js application:

metadata: Root-level SEO metadata (title template, description, OpenGraph)
layouts: Reusable layout element trees (each must include a Slot component)
routes: Route definitions keyed by URL pattern
state: Global initial state shared across all routes

Route Patterns

Routes use Next.js URL conventions:

"/" -- home page
"/about" -- static route
"/blog/[slug]" -- dynamic segment
"/docs/[...path]" -- catch-all segment
"/settings/[[...path]]" -- optional catch-all segment

Layouts

Layouts wrap page content. Every layout MUST include a Slot component where page content will be rendered. Layouts are defined once in spec.layouts and referenced by routes via the layout field.

Built-in Components

Slot: Placeholder in layouts where page content is rendered
Link: Client-side navigation link (wraps next/link)

Built-in Actions

setState: Update state value. Params: { statePath, value }
pushState: Append to array. Params: { statePath, value, clearStatePath? }
removeState: Remove from array by index. Params: { statePath, index }
navigate: Client-side navigation. Params: { href }

Data Loaders

Server-side async functions that run in the Server Component before rendering. Results are merged into the page's initial state.

createNextApp({
  spec,
  loaders: {
    loadPost: async ({ slug }) => {
      const post = await db.post.findUnique({ where: { slug } });
      return { post };
    },
  },
});

SSR

Pages are server-rendered automatically. The createNextApp Page component is an async Server Component that:

Matches the route from the spec
Runs server-side data loaders
Generates metadata
Passes the resolved spec to the client renderer for hydration

Entry Points

@json-render/next -- Client components (NextAppProvider, PageRenderer, Link)
@json-render/next/server -- Server utilities (createNextApp, matchRoute, schema)
