The example shows how you can use TypeScript on both the server and the client while using esbuild to live reload the server code without affecting the Next.js universal code.
Server entry point is server/index.ts in development and dist/index.js in production.
The second directory should be added to .gitignore.
Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app custom-server-typescript-app --example "https://github.com/osdevisnot/nextjs-custom-server-esbuild/tree/master"
# or
yarn create next-app custom-server-typescript-app --example "https://github.com/osdevisnot/nextjs-custom-server-esbuild/tree/master"
