What are some examples of API routes in Next.js?

Next.js allows you to create API routes in the pages/api directory. For example, you can create a file called hello.js that exports a function to handle requests.

Can you show me how to create a simple API route?

Sure! In pages/api/hello.js, you can write:

export default function handler(req, res) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Hello, World!' });
}

How do I access this API route from the frontend?

You can use the fetch API in your frontend code. For example:

fetch('/api/hello')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));

What other examples of API routes can I create?

You can create routes for CRUD operations, like creating a user, fetching data from a database, or handling form submissions.
