Next.js Tracing

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

import { withPageRouterHighlight } from '@/app/_utils/page-router-highlight.config'
import { H } from '@highlight-run/next/server'

export default withPageRouterHighlight(async function handler(
	req: NextApiRequest,
	res: NextApiResponse,
) {
	return new Promise<void>(async (resolve) => {
		const span = await H.startActiveSpan('page-router-span', {})

		console.info('Here: /pages/api/page-router-trace.ts ⌚⌚⌚')

		res.send(`Trace sent! Check out this random number: 0.7161464469801129`)
		span.end()
		resolve()
	})
})

Wrap your App Router endpoints

The Highlight Next.js SDK supports tracing for both Page and App Routers running in the Node.js runtime.

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { withAppRouterHighlight } from '@/app/_utils/app-router-highlight.config'
import { H } from '@highlight-run/next/server'

export const GET = withAppRouterHighlight(async function GET(
	request: NextRequest,
) {
	return new Promise(async (resolve) => {
		const span = await H.startActiveSpan('app-router-span', {})

		console.info('Here: /pages/api/app-router-trace/route.ts ⏰⏰⏰')

		span.end()

		resolve(new Response('Success: /api/app-router-trace'))
	})
})
