next-path-matcher

A tiny utility to match Next.js request paths using glob patterns or regular expressions. Built for use with Next.js middleware and API routes, leveraging path-to-regexp for flexible pattern matching.

Features

• Match Next.js request paths using glob-like patterns or RegExp
• Supports wildcards and parameterized routes
• TypeScript support out of the box
• Simple API for use in middleware or custom logic

Installation

npm install next-path-matcher

Usage

import { createPathMatcher } from 'next-path-matcher';
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

const isPublicRoute = createPathMatcher(['/', '/sign-in(.*)', '/sign-up(.*)']);
const isPrivateRoute = createPathMatcher(['/dashboard(.*)']);

export function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
  if (isPublicRoute(req)) {
    // ...your logic here...
  }

  if (isPrivateRoute(req)) {
    // ...your logic here...
  }
}

Supported Patterns

• Glob-like strings: /api/(.*), /dashboard(.*)
• Regular expressions: /^\/user\/[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/

See path-to-regexp documentation for advanced pattern syntax.
