Add next build [--output directory] option ?

[zapkub]

Hi,

I do some custom server load with babel,
so before goto production it need to be compiled to standard javascript in another build folder and it should include .next folder.

I wonder if this option may helpful ?

This is how I manage it now

#build.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

npm run clean

# next build ./src
npm run build 

cp -r ./src/.next ./build/.next
npm run build-server

I wonder why you'd like to move the .next directory since you wouldn't use it from custom server. Can you elaborate why you need to do that ?

Also we need to have next.config.js relative to the app dir. It's kind a confusing to move it to another place as well.

I suppose current way is better.

@nkzawa I put next inside my project src folder next ./src/ with KeystoneJS and it will be compiled and ship my build folder for deployment.

Is this what it suppose to be ?

Anyway I understand your point, will figure how to manage it properly.

Thanks
