next-alap

Next.js integration for Alap — 'use client' component re-exports, a layout component, and an optional MDX config wrapper for the App Router.

Install

bash

npm install next-alap alap

Quick start

tsx

// app/layout.tsx
import { AlapLayout } from 'next-alap';
import config from './alap-config';

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <AlapLayout config={config}>{children}</AlapLayout>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

tsx

// app/page.tsx — no 'use client' needed
import { AlapLink } from 'next-alap';

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <p>
      Check out these <AlapLink query=".coffee">cafes</AlapLink> and
      famous <AlapLink query=".bridge">bridges</AlapLink>.
    </p>
  );
}

What it provides

Client component re-exports

Importing from next-alap instead of alap/react means 'use client' is already applied. Server components can use AlapLink directly without boundary errors.

Export	What
`AlapProvider`	React context provider (from `alap/react`, with `'use client'`)
`AlapLink`	Menu trigger component (from `alap/react`, with `'use client'`)
`useAlap()`	Hook for programmatic access (from `alap/react`, with `'use client'`)
`AlapLayout`	Layout component — wraps `AlapProvider` + optional web component registration

`AlapLayout`

Drop-in layout component for app/layout.tsx. Wraps AlapProvider and optionally registers the <alap-link> web component so MDX content also works.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`config`	`AlapConfig`	required	Link configuration
`configName`	`string`	—	Named config for multi-config setups
`children`	`ReactNode`	required	Layout children
`webComponent`	`boolean`	`true`	Also register `<alap-link>` for MDX/Markdown
`menuTimeout`	`number`	from config	Auto-dismiss override
`defaultMenuClassName`	`string`	—	Default CSS class for all menus

`withAlap()` config wrapper

Optional Next.js config wrapper for MDX integration:

// next.config.mjs
import { withAlap } from 'next-alap/config';

export default withAlap({
  // your Next.js config
}, {
  markdown: true,  // disables mdxRs so remark plugins work
});

Option	Type	Default	Description
`markdown`	`boolean`	`false`	Disable Rust MDX compiler for remark plugin support

MDX support

Two paths:

remark-alap — add to your MDX remark plugins. Authors write [text](alap:query) in MDX files.
@alap/mdx — React provider + remark transform for MDX content.

Both produce <alap-link> web components that AlapLayout registers automatically (when webComponent is true).

Security

No eval or dynamic code generation — withAlap() only sets config flags. The components are pure React re-exports.
Dynamic import for web component — AlapLayout uses import('alap') inside useEffect to avoid HTMLElement reference during SSR. The import only runs in the browser.

Vite only

This integration does not support webpack. Next.js has supported Vite as a bundler since v15, and it's the recommended path forward. If you're on webpack, use alap/react directly — it works fine, you just need to add 'use client' yourself.
