How to remove x-powered-by header in nextjs custom server

Question

I'm using Next to create a web app, and I want to remove x-powered-by from response header, I tried to create custom server and use expressjs .disable('x-powered-by') but it didn't work.

here is what I've done:

const express = require('express')
const next = require('next')

const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT, 10) || 3001
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()


app.prepare()
.then(() => {
  const server = express()
  .use(handle)


  server.disable('x-powered-by'); // ???

  server.listen(port, (err) => {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(`> Ready on http://localhost:${port}`)
  })
})

Answer 1

For me when I use server.disable('x-powered-by');, was ended up with Next.js 7.0.2 as x-powered-by value.

adding below line in next.config.js should work

module.exports = {
    poweredByHeader: false,
    ...
}

or

const app = next({ dev, xPoweredBy: false })
