# edge-counter

> a super minimal repo showing how to write raw edge functions with Vercel

## takeaways

- you MUST include `export const config = { runtime: 'edge' }` in your routes. unlike Next.JS, you can't use `export const runtime = 'edge'`. omitting this will result in an API route that just times out.

- you MUST have a non-empty `public` directory. if you don't actually need anything public, just throw an empty file in there to make Vercel happy. for this project I threw some bare-bones HTML in there.

- for some reason, Vercel builds report TypeScript errors that simply aren't real. idk why, but the deployment itself works fine.

- if you want to develop locally (i.e. `vercel dev`), you WILL need to set up a tsconfig. however this isn't technically needed to deploy.

- execution time is around the same as using an edge function in a Next.JS app.

## setup

```bash

# clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:rayzr522/edge-counter.git

cd edge-counter

# install deps

pnpm install

# run vercel's dev server locally

pnpm vercel dev

```
