Error: Cannot find module 'next-i18next/middleware'

I followed every step in configuration, have the same setup for server.js and i18n.js but still getting this error whenever I try to run yarn dev:

module.js:550
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'next-i18next/middleware'

This is my server.js:

const express = require('express')
const next = require('next')
const nextI18NextMiddleware = require('next-i18next/middleware')

const nextI18next = require('./lib/i18n')

const app = next({ dev: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();

(async () => {
  await app.prepare()
  const server = express()

  nextI18NextMiddleware(nextI18next, app, server)

  server.get('*', (req, res) => handle(req, res))

  await server.listen(3000)
})()

and these are package versions:

node: 8.14.0

"express": "^4.16.4"
"next": "^7.0.2"
"next-i18next": "^0.8.0"
"react": "^16.6.3"

What else needs to be done to run it ?

Hi @isaachinman, could you please add an example that uses the latest version of next-i18next (v6) with a custom express server? I keep going around in circles trying to get this to work. Thanks

@lcvbeek It’s not “supported” anymore because it’s not necessary. We were able to replace the functionality with built-in features of NextJs, as soon as rewrites dropped. The middleware you mentioned is already/still used by next-i18next, just in a serverless manner.

You can still use a custom server if you really want to, but next-i18next no longer has anything to do with that.

Let me know if that makes sense.
