Vulcan Next helps you build GraphQL-based applications with Next.js.
Vulcan Next provides:
- A production-grade Next.js + Apollo GraphQL boilerplate. It includes development tooling such as Cypress, Jest, Storybook, MDX... and many others.
- A GraphQL API endpoint set up with Apollo Server, so you can start coding back-end features immediately.
- Schema-based helpers and hooks to quickly generate and consume your own GraphQL API.
- Password based authentication

You can't teach an old dog new tricks! Vulcan Next is the successor of "Vulcan.js", the Meteor framework from Sacha Greif. It inherits years of experience, with a modernized architecture that replaces Meteor by Next.js.
git clone -b main https://github.com/VulcanJS/vulcan-next
yarn
yarn run devOpen http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You can then access the live docs on http://localhost:3000/docs.
When creating your own application, you'll want to host the code on your own Git repository (on GitHub, BitBucket, etc.).
Rename "origin" to "upstream", so you can use your own git repository as the main "origin", and VN official repo as "upstream".
git remote rename origin upstream
# Then do what you need to create your own origin remote
# git remote add origin <your-own-git-repository-url>Beware: Vulcan Next is a boilerplate, the possibility to update automatically is not guaranteed. You may have to apply the updates by hand, comparing Vulcan Next latest version to your own code. Always double-check that the merge didn't break your app!.
# Get the latest version of Vulcan Next locally
git fetch upstream
# Merge to your own code (favouring your own code as a default in case of conflict)
git merge upstream/main -X oursAs a default, Vulcan Next will connect to a sample read-only database owned by LBKE. To create your own application, you'll want to use your own databse.
It will run Mongo in your current terminal, or create and run a Mongo image if it's the first time your run the command.
Note: you should always start your database before you run the application.
yarn run start:mongoSee Docker installation instruction for Ubuntu here if you don't have Docker yet.
In .env.development or .env.development.local use this URI for Mongo:
MONGO_URI="mongodb://localhost:27017/vulcan-next-app"You can then stop the server and start it again.
We advise to use MongoDB Compass to visualize your database content.
