get-now-json

An endpoint that returns a now.json file based on passed query params.

Motivation

I wanted to setup some tooling for myself that makes it easy for me to scaffold out projects deployable to zeit. This lambda powers a set in that tooling.

Usage

Any supported now.json config property can be passed as a query param with a value.

The version property is always set to 2 by default and can be overriden by a version query parameter.

Important note

This project does NO validation of the json it outputs. That is delegated to the now CLI and occurs when it tries to consume the generated json config in the context of your project.

Examples

curl "https://now-json.zdx.cat" # returns { "version": 2, "public": false }
curl "https://now-json.zdx.cat?name=my-project" # returns { "version": 2, "public": false, "name": "my-project"}

# returns the builds object wrapped in an array as expected by `now` cli
curl 'https://now-json.zdx.cat?name=my-project&builds=\{"src": "a.js", "use": "@now/node"\}'

# these two return the same object with a builds array
curl 'https://now-json.zdx.cat?name=my-project&builds=\{"src": "a.js", "use": "@now/node"\}&builds=\{"src": "index.html", "use": "@now/static"\}'
curl 'https://now-json.zdx.cat?name=my-project&builds=\[\{"src": "a.js", "use": "@now/node"\},\{"src": "index.html", "use": "@now/static"\}\]'
