# Next.js + FastAPI + Bindings Starter

A monorepo with a Next.js frontend and a private FastAPI backend.

# Next.js + FastAPI + Bindings

This example shows a monorepo using [Vercel Services](https://vercel.com/docs/services) with a Next.js frontend and a private FastAPI backend.

## Demo

https://nextjs-fastapi-services-bindings.vercel.app/

### How it works

The project is structured as a monorepo:
```
nextjs-fastapi-bindings/
├── backend/
├── frontend/
└── vercel.json
```

Services are configured in `vercel.json`:
```json
{
  "services": {
    "frontend": {
      "root": "frontend/",
      "framework": "nextjs",
      "bindings": [
        {
          "type": "service",
          "service": "backend",
          "format": "url",
          "env": "BACKEND_URL"
        }
      ]
    },
    "backend": { "root": "backend/", "entrypoint": "main:app" }
  },
  "rewrites": [
    {
      "source": "/(.*)",
      "destination": { "service": "frontend" }
    }
  ]
}
```

Vercel will route all requests to the frontend. Next.js API routes will be able to access the backend at `BACKEND_URL`.

## Running Locally

```bash
vercel dev
```

Open `http://localhost:3000` and try:

- `/api/hello` (Next.js API route)
- `/svc/api/status` (FastAPI via Next.js API route)
